Ready to burn my '07 Yukon xl to the ground!!!!

[edgaranah1]

I have never had a problem with my 07 just regular maintenance. I have noticied moisture in my headlights but its only a small amount.

I am the second owner, but it was a GM employee lease car in Michigan first. It must have been treated rough. I could see some signs of misuse but I got it for a good price and it does have just about everything on it.

And I absolutely LOVE the way when you use the remote start, it turns on heat or ac based on the temps outside. I don't have to worry about leaving the temp controls set in a certain way.

We are really spoiled having two Yukon XLs in a row, and this one has a few options even my other one didn't and it was loaded.

I will probably look for a really nice low mileage '09 or '10 and try to get out of my cursed '07 if at all possible.

To be honest, I would rather go back to the previous body style (with EASILY removable headlights lol) as I like the way they drove better, but I am spoiled by that remote start setup and I am the daily driver of the truck.

Oh I did forget to mention that I also had to have gas tank replaced after a piece of flat steel bar stock got tossed under me on the interstate and punctured the gas tank!





Best pic I have quickly of old faithful...

That is if you sell private. On a trade you are looking at $22000-$23000 at the most.

I had a 2001 Yukon XL that I bought new and decided to trade it in two years ago for a slightly used '07 with all the goodies and only 43k miles. But I have regretted that nearly every day since then.

It seems as if this truck is cursed. Things are always going wrong on this truck. Started out I had to have ac compressors and real lined replaced. At same time I told them the rear defroster was not working nor was the heated windshield washer fluid gizmo. They fixed the ac stuff, repaired the rear defrost but told me the washer fluid gizmo had been disconnected by previous owner due to recall.

Then I take it in for new door handles on all four doors on the interior. All the chrome was peeling. Told them rear defrost still not working. They replace door handles and do repair kit to rear defrost.

Tell them rear defrost still not working. They say they will have to replace the entire rear glass. Having tough time getting them to get it in stock and call me.

Then I notice moisture in passenger side headlight housing. Then I have to replace the fuel valve solenoid assenmbly after over filling the gas tank.

Now I have warped rotors and the auto ride height compressor started sounding horrible then just quit. I have not had time to tackle that yet.

Tonight passenger side headlight goes out and ther is three inches of wAter in the housing. So I decide to remove entire housing so I can get water out... O my gawd!!!!!! That was two hours of my life I'll never get back.

This truck is junk. Not even 60k miles and it is falling apart. I never had a single problem with my '01 in nearly ten years and over 175k miles!

On top of all that, this '07 gets HORRIBLE gas mileage...

Sorry for the rant but I just came in from fighting that darn headlight. Whoever designed that setup needs beat up!!!! The old way was sooooo much better!

I just traded my 04 GMC 1500 2wd for a 2011 1500 2wd(basically the same truck) I'm not happy at all in the quality or gas mileage! The 2011 is a rattle trap! The 04 was so much nicer!

I could swear GM built in these problems with the newer trucks to either keep you coming back for repairs, or give up and buy a new one. Damn I miss my OBS Tahoe!!

I noticed today there was moisture in my headlight. I hope it doesn't become an issue. Looked like condensation to me but we haven't had much rain here lately.

 

[edgaranah1]

I get moisture in my headlights when it's hot outside and I wash the Yukon but that's pretty much it so I'm not that worried about it.

Fearsome the headlights... Clear cocking should do
