This morning as I was parked, a gust of wind caught my driver's door....
It slammed a bit.... The door switches now are lower in the surface.... Hard to use...
I hope just some mount bracket diss-loged? Tomorrow I'll try to pop off the switch cover and see what happened?? I guess the switch cover pops up with a careful screw driver??

Might be too late... if you're talking about your '05 and it's the master window/lock switch in the door panel, the panel has to come off to get that switch out. There's a screw under the switch bezel, accessed from the back side of the panel. Prying will break the screw tower off the bezel.

Update..... Removed door panel away from door, and just re-inserted switch assembly into switch cover panel.... Easy peazy.....

Had an annoying squeak which was rear glass. Open and shut and cleaned all around it and it's gone.

Our lift gate also comes open at the car wash... very annoying.

At 12750 miles already, did 2nd oil change a few days ago and the dealership must have used an impact on the filter. was a major pita but finally got it off. Should of skipped the first free oil change, I know better...

We're loving our Yukon so far, and enjoying the extra space with the XL over our old Tahoe. We bought our daughter a new Acadia a few days ago to put another GMC in the stable, and the size difference is not even close which we already knew but seeing side by side in person is different. Although I'll be envious of her 29mpg...

you don't have a switch or button to turn off the liftgate?

2022 Tahoe - our liftgate button on the outside of the liftgate...about half of the time, it only unlatches the liftgate, the liftgate doesn't fully open. I've been very deliberate about not pressing the button oddly and it's still doing it. I press it a second time and it opens completely. Our 2021 AT4 never had this issue and we put over 40k on it in a year.

You know of those rear liftgate sensors that open up "hands free"....
If you were sitting inside the suv, and a dog walked near the rear bumper if the hatch would open up...... But I am baffled why a 2022 button was so exposed????

This isn't so much a problem with our yukon per se but when I go to wash it my pressure washer spray opens the rear hatch when I hit the backside. I have to lock the vehicle and put the key in my shop away from the truck for it not to happen. My pressure washer is commercial grade beast and apparently the stream of water can easily depress the button to open the hatch. That's hitting it from at least a foot away too. Catches me off guard every time
This happened to me yesterday, and the guy that pulled up behind me when it happened was like "WTF"... Same here, because that had never happened to me before. I was almost done hosing the soap off of it, so it wasn't that big of a deal. But now I know.

Speaking of which, whenever I do try to use the GMC light logo to open the rear cargo door, it doesn't want to open.

Does anyone know how to permanently turn off that "On Star" connectivity notification on the home screen display when the vehicle starts up. I obviously don't have a data connection for the vehicle (aside from my cell phone connection) but having to click it off every time is annoying beyond belief.

You need to get that looked at. Mine has never missed from day one and is the preferred way to open the gate.

Hummm, we did have a few initial issues that the dealer took care of(power sliding consol, no AM/FM)

As for ongoing issues? There is a rattle on the passenger side middle row seat and the front passenger window seems to get grease on the inside of the window when you put it down.

Pretty minor for the most part. That said, every mass produced car I have owned had little issues here and there :)
