MY GMC YUKON EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR 3 MONTH OLD SON AND LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A FIELD. WHEN I ARRIVED, I FOUND A PUDDLE OF FLUID UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FROM BADLY CORRODED STEEL BRAKE LINES. AFTER ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF ONLINE RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR STORIES; SOME OF WHICH ENDED MUCH WORSE. CLEARLY THIS IS A QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, CAUSING AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND TIME. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK) BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TWICE BUT IT ALSO DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

AFTER NO WARNING (LIGHTS, CHIMES OR ALARMS), APPLIED BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES. LUCKILY IT WAS VERY EARLY AND NOBODY WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN I BLEW THROUGH A STOP SIGN INTERSECTION. *TR LOCAL DEALER SAYS ALUMINUM BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND HAD RUPTURED. NEARLY $2000 TO REPLACE ALUMINUM BRAKE LINES WITH STEEL. EVERYONE KNOWS WHEN YOU PLACE DIFFERENT METALS IN CONTACT WHERE THEY CAN GET WET, YOU WILL GET ELECTRO-CHEMICAL CORROSION OF THE WEAKER METAL, IN THIS CASE, ALUMINUM. THAT'S WHY BOATS USE ALUMINUM AND ZINC AS A SACRIFICIAL METAL IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS - TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM CORROSION. THIS IS SURELY AN ENGINEERING FLAW. ON MY YUKON, THE ALUMINUM BRAKE LINES ARE ATTACHED TO THE STEEL FRAME UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHERE THEY ARE SURE TO GET WET ANYTIME IT RAINS, THUS GUARANTEEING THE WEAKER ALUMINUM METAL WILL CORRODE. I HAVE A 45-YEAR-OLD MUSTANG WITH ORIGINAL BRAKE LINES (STEEL) AND NO CORROSION. 10 YEARS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR BRAKE LINES TO BE CORRODED TO THE POINT OF CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE THROUGH NORMAL USE AND NORMAL WEATHER. I LIVE IN MARYLAND, NOT ALASKA. OUR WEATHER IS AVERAGE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. *TR
Sep 24, 2011
RIGID BRAKE LINE CORRODED AND FAILED LEADING TO GREATLY DIMINISHED BRAKING CAPACITY. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS TOLD BY THE GM DEALER I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY CORRODED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TIRES
32 complaints
Tire Size: 265 70 16. While driving on a straight and level highway, the right rear tire sidewall completely shredded. Tire lost all air pressure and separated from the rim. I bought four General Grabber tires in July 2021. This is the second tire that the sidewall shredded. The first one shredded on the left rear side in July of 2024. There are a lot of General Grabber tires being recalled for over-cured sidewalls but it's strange that there are no recalls on this particular tire.

1. DRIVING ON WELL LIGHTED INTERSTATE AT 8:30 PM GOING 60 MPH WHEN RIGHT REAR TIRE SIDEWALL BLEWOUT RIPPING 360 DEGREES AROUND OUTER EDGE OF SIDEWALL. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF SAFELY AND CHANGE TIRE. *TR
Sep 03, 2010
MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL CAME WITH DEFECTIVE FIRESTONE STEELTEX R4S TIRES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ONE OF THE FOUR TIRES BLEW OUT. UPON EXAMINATION OF ALL FOUR TIRES ON THE CAR BY MY MECHANIC HE FOUND ALL FOUR TIRES HAD SIGNS OF VERTICAL SEPARATION OF THE SIDEWALL AND PARTIAL TREAD SEPARATION OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND BIZARRE WEAR. THE TIRE THAT BLEW OUT HAD COME APART ON ONE OF THESE VERTICAL SEPARATIONS. I REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND DROVE IT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WHAT-SO-EVER WITH THESE FIRESTONE TIRES AND THAT THE ALIGNMENT OF MY SUV WAS THE PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM HE WAS CRAZY AND THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE AN ALIGNMENT DONE AND I WANTED IT IN WRITING. THE MANAGER GAVE ME IT IN WRITING, AND HAD THE TIRES REPLACED BUT CHARGED ME OVER $200 AND GAVE ME MORE OF THE SAME BRAND OF TIRE ON THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY GMC DEALER AND HAD HIM CHECK TO SEE IF AN ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED AND I WAS EXPLAINED IN WRITING THAT AN ALIGNMENT WAS NOT NEEDED. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
25 complaints
WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH, THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT WORK. I AM NOT SURE WHEN IT STOPPED WORKING. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR THIS TO BE FIXED, SO THAT I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN. ( I WAS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY 65 YEAR OLD MOTHER AND MY 16 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER.) PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS CAN BE FIXED AND IF IT IS UNDER ANY RECALLS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON XL 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP THREE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V155000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE FUEL PRESSURE PUMP AND ECM WERE DIAGNOSED AS THE CAUSES OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL DELIVERY PUMP AND FUSES AT THE COST OF $850.26. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. HOWEVER, IF THE RECALL HAPPENS TO EXPAND TO INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES, THE CONTACT COULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,374 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE APRIL 6TH FOR THIS PART AND AM TOLD THAT IT WILL BE MID-MAY SOMETIME WHEN I MAY ACTUALLY GET IT. THEY SAID THE DEMAND FOR THIS PART HAS BEEN GREAT THEY RAN OUT.

APPLIED PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. TOOK THE CAR TO A MIDAS MUFFLER GARAGE AS IT WAS CLOSEST FOR DIAGNOSIS AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED AWAY. IT HAD RUSTED OUT AT THE POINT WHERE IT GOES OVER THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON THESE CARS. *TR
Sep 16, 2014
AFTER GETTING CUT OFF AND HAVING TO MAKE A PANIC STOP THE BRAKE LINES IN MY TRUCK BURST CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE GROUND AND OFFER NO BRAKING POWER. I THEN TRIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH ALSO DIDN'T WORK DUE TO THE BURST LINES. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STEER INTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO A LOWER GEAR TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE PUTTING IT INTO PARK AT 25 MPH AND SKIDDING TO A STOP. AFTER GETTING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH AND LEARNED OF YOUR INVESTIGATION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS I ALMOST DIED. *TR

AIR BAGS
15 complaints
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2000 YUKON A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, AND WHILE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN NOT TWO MILES FROM OUR HOME, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME, AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER I AM INCREDIBLY WORRIED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, AND MY INFANT SON SITS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. NOT ONLY WOULD THE INCREDIBLY LOUD 'GUNSHOT' SOUND HAVE POSSIBLY DAMAGED HIS EARS, BUT THE SMOKY AFTERMATH THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE FOR BOTH CHILDREN'S LUNGS. AIRBAGS ARE AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE THAT IS UNPARALLELED WHEN THEY OPERATE CORRECTLY. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS FAULTY WIRING OR SENSORS IN THIS MODEL SUV FOR THE SIDE SEAT AIRBAG TO GO OFF NOT ONLY WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE REST OF THE VEHICLES AIRBAG SENSORS, BECAUSE I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SPONTANEOUSLY GO OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, HOWEVER IT WAS A SUNDAY AND WE WERE TOLD NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO HELP US. A VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, THE 21ST, AND MY HUSBAND RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE INSPECTOR LATER THAT NIGHT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INCIDENT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE INSPECTOR THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING A CALL FROM GMC WITH THE DETAILS AND OUTCOME OF THE INSPECTION. IT IS NOW THURSDAY THE 23RD, AND EVEN AFTER TWO PHONE CALLS I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. I HAVE NOW BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR TWELVE DAYS, AND STILL CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TRANSPORTING MY CHILDREN. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT GMC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REMEDYING THE PROBLEM AND ASSURING ME THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNDER ANY PREMATURE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR
Jun 23, 2011
MY FATHER IN LAW WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY HUSBAND AND MY CAR. THE CAR WAS TOTALED IN THE ACCIDENT AND HE FRACTURED HIS NECK AND BROKE SOME RIBS. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR
Jan 31, 2010
DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 31 MPH ON A GRAVEL ROAD IN DRY CONDITIONS THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT STRUCK A TREE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT PASSENGER HAD TO BE EXTRACTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD COLLAPSED INTO THE FRONT SEAT ALONG WITH THE FIREWALL. THERE WERE 3 INJURIES, AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. A GM REPRESENTATIVE RETRIEVED THE BLACK DETECTION BOX, VERIFIED THE SPEED OF 31 MPH, AND DETERMINED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. GM PURCHASED THE SALVAGED VEHICLE FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND DESTROYED IT. *AK
Nov 01, 2005
WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MILES/HR, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED SIMULTANEOUSLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY. GMC YUKON XL 2000. *JB

PARKING BRAKE
13 complaints
PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION ( LINITIAL LACK OF ADJUSTMENT) REF: SERVICE BULLETIN #010526001 NHTSA 3619514. CONCERN WITH THE FACT A DEALER CHARGE IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT A DEFECT WHICH CAN LEAD TO HAZARDOUS CONDITION. *TR
Apr 15, 2008
MY 2000 YUKON XL PARKING BRAKE WORE OUT PRE-MATURELY, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE OWNER AND THE PUBLIC. *JB
Jan 12, 2006
THE DESIGN OF MY 2000 GMC YUKON'S EMERGENCY BRAKE IS FAULTY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED ON MY CAR TWICE. IN APRIL OF 2002, MY CAR FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT WORKING. I HAD TO PAY $550 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND REPLACE A REAR ROTOR THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD DAMAGED BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS HAD WORN DOWN AND THE BASE OF THE BRAKE DAMAGED THE ROTOR. THE CAR PASSED INSPECTION BUT THE BRAKE DID NOT SEEM TO WORK WELL. SO IN 2004, INSPECTION TIME ROLLS AROUND AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AGAIN FAILS. I WAS TOLD GM HAD PLACED A RECALL TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGN BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS TRUE OR NOT. EITHER WAY, THE DESIGN ON THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE. THE ONLY TIME THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS EVER USED IS WHEN THE STATE INSPECTION SERVICE TESTS IT TO SEE IF IT WORKS. GMC SHOULD FIX THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHERE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOULD NOT BE A $400 PROBLEM EVERY TWO YEARS. *JB
Nov 07, 2004
PARKING BRAKE ISSUE. I OCCASIONALLY NOTICED A SCRAPING NOISE COMING SOMEWHERE FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE SERVICING DEALER PULLED THE REAR BREAK ROTOR OFF TO INSPECT THE PARKING BRAKE. THEY FOUND THAT THE PAD HAD WORN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE METAL AND THAT THE NOISE I WAS HEARING WAS THE REMENANTS OF THE SHOE, THE LINER, SCRAPING AGAINST THE DRUM. THE DEALER MAINTAINED THAT I MUST BE DRIVING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. I MAINTAINED THAT WAS NOT TRUE, THAT THERE MUST BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH SOME OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS CAUSING THE UNINTENDED ENGAGING OF THE PARKING BRAKE SHOE AND THE DRUM. I CONTACTED GMC DIRECTLY A SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO MAINTAINED THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT WANT TO SIMPLY REPLACE ALL THE PARKING BRAKE AND DRUM AS I FELT THERE WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND THAT MY ISSUE WOULD BE RECURRING. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE BRAKE SHOE LINER COULD EVENTUALLY WEAR OUT THE DRUM AND POSSIBLE CAUSE A CRASH. HOWEVER, I AM NOT ABLE TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR. SUBSEQUENTLY, AFTER RESEARCHING THE NHTSA SITE, I FOUND GMC'S SERVICE BULLETIN, NHTSA # 10000172 DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM AND THE RECOMMENDED FIX, WHICH WAS REPLACING A PART WITH A "NEWLY DESIGNED PART ( A TENSION SPRING)! THE SERVICE BULLETIN DID NOT STATE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY DRIVERS DRIVING THEIR CARS WITH THEIR PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. I BELIEVE THAT ENOUGH OWNERS COMPLAINED AND GMC REALIZED THAT IT WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM. THE BULLENTIN COVERS SERVAL GM MODELS. AGAIN, THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE NOISE CAUSED BY THE SCRAPING, BUT THE POTENTIAL ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE BRAKE SHOE LINER EVENTUALLY WEARING THRU THE PARKING BRAKE DRUM POSSIBLE CAUSING THE ROTOR TO SEPERATE. THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A LOSS OF CONTROL OR SUDDEN STOP PROBABLY WOULD TAKE PLACE. I THINK THAT COULD BE VERY SERIOUS AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

STEERING
13 complaints
I HAVE A 2000 GMC YUKON (NON-XL). I WAS TURNING AROUND IN A PARKING LOT AND HEARD A CRUNCH IN THE FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT AND CONTINUED ONTO THE STREET, THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. I HAD TO STRONG ARM IT HOME. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THE 2000 GMC YUKON XL HAD IN FACT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SYMPTOMS THAT MY VEHICLE HAD (NON XL). I CALLED GMC THE NEXT DAY AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I ASKED THEM IF THE SAME RECALLED POWER STEERING PARTS ARE USED FOR THE STANDARD AND THE XL YUKON. THE GMC REPRESENTATIVE WOULD NOT SAY YES OR NO, JUST NOT NECESSARILY IS ALL HE WOULD SAY. I TOLD THEM REGARDLESS THAT THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THE STANDARD YUKON DUE TO THE FACT THAT OURS DID THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE YUKON XL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AND THAT THIS WAS A LIFE OR DEATH TYPE FAILURE IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES (IE; DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED). GMC REQUESTED THAT I TAKE MY YUKON TO THE DEALER AND FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAD BROKE. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY (MORE SORE ARMS) AND LEFT IT FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THE DAMAGE THAT HAD BEEN DONE. THE DEALER GOT BACK TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP, SHAFT, ACTUATOR, AS WELL AS THE MOUNTING BRACKET HAD FAILED. THE DEALER HAD TALKED TO THE LOCAL GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD HELP WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THEY HOWEVER TOLD US THAT THEY WERE NOT BUYING THE PART OR THE LABOR BUT THEY WOULD OFFER $200 TOWARD THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND WE WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE BALANCE $350 FOR A TOTAL OF $550 TO REPAIR. I AM ALSO CURIOUS IF GMC WILL BE REPLACING MY BROKEN PARTS WITH THE EXACT SAME PARTS THAT ARE DESTINED TO BREAK AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD EXPECT UPGRADED PARTS, BUT MAYBE THEY JUST WANT OUR BUSINESS AGAIN A YEAR OR TWO WHEN IT BREAKS AGAIN, THAT IS, IF WE LIVE THROUGH IT NEXT TIME. *JB
Jul 05, 2006
I SPOKE WITH A LARRY AT THE NHTSA BACK IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. FAXED HIM A COPY OF THE BILL I HAD FOR THE POWER STEERING IN MY YUKON XL SAYS THERE WAS GOING TO BE MORE INVESTIGATING AND THIS RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING MAY BE EXPANDED TO MY TRUCK..THE 1500 SERIES BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. JUST A FUNNY THING THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THE POWER STEERING CUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN, BUT IT DOESN'T CONCERN THE 1500. *NM
Nov 01, 2005
THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS. FORTUNATELY NOT WHILE ON THE CURVY, SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN ROADS. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED TOWING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PUMP AND CHARGED $200. MUCH INCONVEIENCE WAS INCURRED, WE HAD TO BE RETRIVED FROM THE MOUNTAINS(65 MILES), TAKEN TO THE DEALER BY OTHERS TO RETRIVE VEHICLE, ETC. THERE'S A RECALL(ID 05V005000) OF 98,221 OF THIS EXACT MODEL AND YEAR FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. GMC CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL AND WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME THE $200, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SHUTTLE COST FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO HOME AND OTHER INCIDENTALS.

I HAVE YOUR CAMPAIGN ID#05V005000 RECALL DATE: 1/5/2005 I HAVE 2000 GMC YUKON XL, [XXX],[XXX], [XXX], [XXX], [XXX], MY POWER STEERING CUT OUT ON MY ON 1/19/05 I SAW THIS RECALL ON YOUR WEBSITE, CALLED GM, THEY CAN SEE THIS, AND SINCE THE RECALLS AREN'T GOING OUT FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER WEEK OR SO AND MY VIN# ISN'T LINKED TO IT THEY CAN'T AUTHORIZED REPAIR. I DROVE FOR A FEW DAYS WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING AND THEN RENTED A CAR, I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD THE RENTAL AND NEED MY TRUCK FIXED. IT IS PRESENTLY TODAY(1/25/05) AT MCGUIRE PONTIAC IN LITTLE FALLS NJ (973-785-2220) AND I JUST GAVE THE GO AHEAD TO FIX IT. I DON'T REALLY HAVE THIS $800.00 TO DO THIS AND GM IS DOING AN ESCALATION REPORT TO SEE IF THEY CAN SPEED UP THINGS BUT THAT WILL TAKE A FEW DAYS. I CAN'T WAIT THIS LONG. I DON'T SEE WHY IF A 2000 GMC YUKON XL IS ONE OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO APPROVE. I UNDERSTAND I WILL BE DUE A REFUND BUT IT IS AGGRAVATING THAT I HAVE TO PUT OUT THIS MONEY TO BEGIN WITH. WHY POST THIS FOR PUBLIC VIEWING IF THEY ARE HONORING IT UNTIL IT IS OFFICIAL. SHOULD SOMEONE BE ABLE TO ATTEND TO THIS TODAY AND CONTACT MCGUIRE THAT MY VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL AND A MIRACLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS SUCH A PROBLEM.

I HAVE CONCERNS OVER THE DRIVERS SEAT BACK IN MY 2000 GM YUKON XL. EVERY TIME I SLOW OR STOP THE SEAT TIPS FORWARD. THE SEAT BELT IS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT BACK. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE THE GEAR BOX DRIVEN BY THE ELECTRIC SEAT BACK MOTOR HAS PLAY IN BETWEEN THE GEARS. WHEN CHECKING INTO REPLACEMENT PARTS THERE WAS A NOTE ON THE GM COMPUTER THAT REPLACING THIS PART WOULD CORRECT SEAT BACK MOVEMENT WHEN VEHICLE STOPS. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BREAK LOOSE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION FORCING ME INTO THE STEERING COLUMN OR CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

LOOSE RIGHT FRONT HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY WHICH RESULTED NOISE AND INDICATION BY SERVICE TECH THAT IT COULD EVENTUALLY HAVE RESULTED IN WHEEL SEPARATION. MY RECENT RESEARCH REVEALED A BULLETIN WHICH NOTES A RECALL; # 47678 DEC 17, 2007. EVEN THOUGH I PAID OUR OF POCKET ON 08/07/2007 TO REPLACE THE BEARING, MY RECENT VISIT TO A GM DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER ON 11/06/2009 REVEALED THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE GOING 65MPH A LOUD RACING NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE TRANSMISSION, THE GEARS SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE GRINDING, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED; THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THE NOISES STARTED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP ONCE AGAIN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION INSPECTED. UPON INSPECTION THE TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. NO REPAIRS MADE AT THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED.

I PULLED A BOAT WITH THE VEHICLE (2000 GMC YUKON XL 2500) ABOUT 275 MILES TO A LAKE AND PUT IT IN THE WATER. TOOK THE BOAT OUT OF THE WATER AND STARTED BACKING IT INTO A SPACE WHEN I HEARD A STRANGE "POP". THEN REALIZED THAT ALL POWER ASSISTED BRAKING AND STEERING WAS GONE. HAD TO LEAVE THE BOAT WHERE IT WAS, AND WAS HAPPY THE PROBLEM DIDN'T OCCUR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY. TESTED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE I COULD STEER AND STOP IT UNDER CAREFUL CIRCUMSTANCES, THEN DROVE IT DIRECTLY, SLOWLY, AND CAREFULLY TO THE DEALER ABOUT 50 MILES. MY OWN INVESTIGATION FOUND A RECALL ID NUMBER 05V005000: "HYDRAULIC PUMP DRIVESHAFT THAT CAN FRACTURE, RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRO-BOOST POWER BRAKES, THE SAME CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER ASSIST FOR BRAKING AFTER THE RESERVE PRESSURE IS DEPLETED." THE DEALER CONFIRMED THIS WAS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN - [XXX]. SEEMED STRANGE TO ME THAT 98000+ OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME TYPE FROM THE SAME YEAR ARE COVERED, BUT MINE WASN'T. NOW I SEE THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE WITH THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES AS MINE. I THINK THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE WIDENED. THOUGH I GOT NO INITIAL HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I CALLED THE GMC RECALL 800 NUMBER AND THEY DIRECTED ME BACK TO THE DEALERS GENERAL MANAGER AND SAID I SHOULD HAVE HIM SPEAK TO THE GM REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT COMPENSATION IN MY CASE. I DID THAT, AND AT LEAST THEY DID COVER THE COST OF THE PART (ABOUT $500), BUT NOT THE LABOR OF $193 TO REPLACE THE PUMP. I ASKED TO KEEP THE OLD PUMP AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD, BUT WAS NOT GIVEN THE PUMP OR AN EXPLANATION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP. THE RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER SEEMS TO INDICATE A "CORE RETURN" UNDER PARTS, SO I GUESS I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY TO KEEP THE OLD PART AND NOT RETURN IT. SINCE THE REPAIR, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING HAVE WORKED PROPERLY, EVEN IN TOWING. *JB UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

MY 2000 YUKON HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE STALLING DURING BRAKING AND TURNS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2001 WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. THE PROBLEM IS NOW SEVERE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MORE TIMES THAN YOU AND I HAVE FINGERS AND TOES. I CANNOT TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NOR CAN I FIND A MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP (HA HA ) THAT CAN FIND OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE INTAKE MOTOR OR THE INTAKE GASKET NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT DIAGNOSTICS CANNOT BACK THESE THEORIES UP. TODAY I NEARLY HIT A TELEPHONE POLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIED AND LOST POWER STEERING WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN. *AK

ABS BRAKES ENGAGED WITH NO WARNING AT LOW SPEEDS (PARKING LOTS, STOP SIGNS, DRIVE THROUHS) AND GREATLY INCREASED THE STOPPING DISTANCE AND SAFETY. THIS WAS OCCOURING IN THE FALL OF '04 EALY WINTER OF '05. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON TOTALY DRY SURFACES, AND WAS TO GREAT OF A RISK TO LEAVE UN-REPAIRED. I HAD TO PAY OVER $900.00 TO CORRECT THE ONE FRONT WHEEL AND THE OTHER(S) ARE SURE TO FOLLOW. THIS IS POOR COMPENENT DEISIGN, AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AS DEFECTIVE. AN OWNER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DISCONECT THE ABS COMPUTER TO AVOID THE BRAKE FAILURE, IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PAY THE $900.00 + PER HUB. ALSO OCCAISIONALY AFTER CLICKING DRIVER'S SEAT BELT, WITH OUT WARNING, THE BELT RELEASED AT THE LATCH. NOT UNDER STRAIN, AND AFTER IT HAD BEEN FULLY ENGAGED. WHY?
May 06, 2005
THIS RELATES TO THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED INVESTINGATION INTO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON GM LIGHT TRUCKS AND SUVS. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020 I OWN A 2000 YUKON XL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, IT DEVELOPED THE SLOW-SPEED ABS ACTIVATION PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN YOUR ABOVE-DESCRIBED ACTION, RESULTING IN OCCASIONAL INABILITY TO STOP PROPERLY AT STOP SIGNS AND PARKING SPACES. THE FREQUENCY OF INCIDENT INCREASED, UNTIL IN EARLY 2004, WE HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE WE BUMPED ANOTHER VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH WITH NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. WE THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP, WHO REPAIRED IT BY DISASSEMBLY, CLEANING AND REASSEMBLY, AT OUR EXPENSE, SINCE THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAD LAPSED. AS OF NOW, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT YET REOCCURRED, HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION, IT WILL REOCCUR. WE WOULD LIKE A PERMANENT FIX, AS WELL AS PERHAPS GM TO TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR ALREADY PERFORMED.

1. DURING A FAMILY VACATION TO FLORIDA, MY BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED TO FAIL AT SLOW SPEEDS NORMALLY BETWEEN 5 AND 10MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BECOME STIFF AND THE SYSTEM WOULD MAKE NOISE LIKE THE ABS WAS BEING ACTIVATED. 2. BEING A FAMILY VEHICLE, I HAD THE REPAIR DONE IMMEDIATELY, THE TECHNICIANS IN FLORIDA WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH MY SYMPTOM. AT FIRST THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 3. THE CREW TOOK TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS TO FIGURE OUT FINALLY THAT THE FRONT WHEEL SENSORS FOR THE ABS WERE CORRODED (BECAUSE I LIVE IN MAINE) AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE SENSORS AND THIS ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEM.

HOWEVER, ABOUT THE SAME TIME WE BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THAT, WE ALSO BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A STICKING ACCELERATOR. AFTER STARTING AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, THE THROTTLE STICKS AND IS OBVIOUSLY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM RATHER THAN A LUBRICATION ISSUE. ONCE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ROLL, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WE AHEV LIVED WITH THIS FOR SOME TIME AND HAVE RECENTLY DRIVEN TWO OTHER GMC PRODUCTS (2001 GMC 1500 YUKON XL AND A 2001 CHEVY 1500 PICKUP), THEY TOO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM QUITE CERTAIN THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A RECALL EVENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT WITH THE STICKING OF THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE OFTEN LURCHES FORWARD AFTER ENOUGH PRESSURE HAS BEEN EXERTED.

Mar 31, 2003
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 72MPH, WHICH HAD BEEN ON AND IN PLACE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THAT THE CAR WAS NOW GOING 85 - EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR. I DECIDED THAT I WOULD HIT THE BRAKE A LITTLE TO DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE AND RESET IT. AFTER TOUCHING THE BRAKE, BUT BEFORE I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WAS BACK UP TO 80 - 85. I PLAYED AROUND WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH, HOPING TO STOP THE PROBLEM. NOTHING WORKED IN THAT REGARD, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, TURN THE CAR OFF (WHICH WOULD RESET EVERYTHING), AND START OVER. WHILE TRAVELING TO THE EXIT, WHICH WAS ABOUT TWO MILES, I HAD TO KEEP SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE CAR AT AN ACCEPTABLE HIGHWAY SPEED. ONCE I PULLED OFF ONTO THE EXIT RAMP, I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET TO GET IT SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE THE TURN OFF THE RAMP. SINCE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP, I TRIED PUTTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO GET THE PULL OFF THE WHEELS, AT WHICH TIME THE RPMS RED-LINED. I TRIED ALL THE DIFFERENT GEARS, WHICH HAD THE SAME RESULT. I BRACED MYSELF FOR THE JOLT AND THREW THE CAR INTO PARK, NO JOLT - THE RPMS WENT TO RED-LINE. AT THIS POINT I WAS HEADED FOR A GAS STATION AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF. UPON SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, A HUGE PUFF OF BLACK SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND EVERYTHING SMELLED LIKE BURNING RUBBER. A TOW TRUCK TOWED US BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN OF NO HELP WHAT SO EVER.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NHTSA FOR PERMITTING MANY AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS TO UTILIZE SO-CALLED HIGH-BRIGHTNESS ARC-LAMPS ON PASSENGERS VEHICLES. THESE LAMPS CAUSE TEMPORARY BLINDNESS AND UNWARRANTED GLARE FOR OLDER DRIVERS SUCH AS MYSELF. THIS IS AN ESPECIAL PROBLEM WHEN THE ARC-LAMP EQUIPPED VEHICLE COMES OVER A HILL OR HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE POINT SOURCE NATURE OF THESE LAMPS RESULTS IN MUCH LOSS OF VISION IN DARK AREAS WITHIN THE FIELD OF VISION BECAUSE OF SCATTER DUE TO AGE HARDENING OF THE CRYSTALLINE LENSES OF THE EYE STRUCTURE. I AM AN INJURED PARTY ( I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY THOUSANDS) SINCE THESE LAMPS DIMINISH THE ABILITY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I RECOMMEND THAT THEY BE OUTLAWED AS A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM A 63 YEAR OLD OPTICAL ENGINEER AND HOPE TO CONTINUE DRIVING FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO COME.*AK

I DISCOVERED TWO GAPS IN THE REAR SEALS ON THE LIFT GATE OF MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL. THE GAPS ARE AT THE BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE LIFT GATE (RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES) AND ARE APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 3 INCHES LONG AND ABOUT 1/16" WIDE. THESE GAPS WILL ALLOW EXHAUST GASSES TO COME INTO THE VEHICLE, OR WATER IN THE EVENT OF A HEAVY RAINSTORM. WE PLAN TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER VERY SOON, AS WE HAVE 35,990 MILES ON IT AND WE WANT IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SEALS APPEAR TO BE INADEQUATE, I.E. INSUFFICIENT IN SIZE OR THICKNESS TO ADEQUATELY SEAL THE BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE LIFT GATE. THIS PROBLEM WAS FOUND BY INSPECTION BY MYSELF, AS I WAS INSPECTING THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO ALLOWING THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SEE LIGHT COMING THROUGH EACH CORNER, BEFORE ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAP IN THE SEALS.

ONCE PROBLEM DUPLICATED, PARTS ORDERED INCORRECTLY. AUTO OUT OF STATE FOR 4 MONTHS. RETURNED IN APRIL 2001 AND LATCH REPLACED. AT THIS TIME THE DOORS RATTLED/CHATTERED. BECAUSE OF OTHER ISSUES AND DEALERSHIP FAILURE TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS, GMC CO REP CONTACTED AND ALL ITEMS WERE COMPLETED EXCEPT THE ISSUE RATTLE/CHATTER. CO REP STATED NEW WEATHER STRIPPING. 6 MONTHS OF ADJUSTING, WEATHER STRIPPING AND WAITING ON PARTS THE GAP IS STILL APPARENT AND CAUSING THE RATTLE CHATTER. 11/30/2001 DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE RATTLE/CHATTER IS TO PULL IN ON THE PASSENGER CARGO DOOR AND PUSH OUT ON THE DRIVER CARGO DOOR. INDEPENDENT EXPLAINED THAT UNTIL YOU KNOW WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DOORS, HINGES OR BODY OF THE VEHICLE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADJUST THE DOORS TO STOP RATTLING/CHATTERING. BECAUSE OF TIME RESTRAINTS AND NO RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP, PROPOSAL OF EITHER TRADING ME OUT TO A NEW VEHICLE (PAYING $8,150.07 DIFFERENCE) OR BUYING BACK CAR FOR $28,500. NO RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP. 01/03/2002 GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED CO REP SAID NO BUY BACK OF VEHICLE AND THE ONLY THING THE DEALERSHIP WOULD DO IS TO CONTINUE ADJUSTING THE DOORS TO LATCH TIGHTER. I QUESTIONED WHY THAT WOULD BE DONE AND NO ANSWER GIVEN. THIS CAR HAS A MARKETABILITY ISSUE. NO ONE WILL WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOTHING BUT RATTLE/CHATTER DOWN THE ROAD.

I HAVE CALLED GM CORP AND BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES OVER THAT PAST TWO YEARS AS MORE CARS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO RECALL LISTS THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE; NOW GM CORPORATE SAYS THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL (NECESSARY TO AVOID LOW SPEED CRASHES) WAS ACTUALLY NEVER PERFORMED AND GM CORPORATE CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH DEALERSHIPS IN THE DC AREA AND GM CORPORATE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS (EXCEEDING 10 TOTAL CALLS) SINCE THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS LEFT TO PERFORM ON THIS YUKON. PRESUMABLY THE HEADREST RECALL I BROUGHT IT INTO KOONS IN MANASSAS, VA AS A SECOND AFTERTHOUGHT TO THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL WAS THE ONLY THING THEY ENDED UP DOING OTHER THAN GIVING ME AN ESTIMATE FOR OVER $3300 FOR WORK THAT HAS NEVER NEEDED TO BE DONE. MY UNANSWERED QUESTION TO GM CORPORATE WAS "I'S THIS HOW YOUR GOING TO HANDLE THE IGNITION RECALLS?" ADDITIONALLY, GM CLAIMS TO BE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHETHER MY IGNITION SWITCH IS THE SAME IN DESIGN AS ANY OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. DO AMERICANS CITIZENS NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST THAT MUCH "PROPRIETARY"-PROTECTED INFORMATION FROM GM? GM CORPORATE'S SPECIALIST CLAIMED TO OBJECT TO MY MENTIONING THAT I, TOO, MIGHT RECORD THE CALL. KOONS ALSO NEVER NOTICED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BROKEN OUT THE ABS LIGHT BECAUSE PRIOR TO THE RECALL (WHICH SHOULD HAVE LATER TIPPED ME OFF THAT THEY DID NOT ACTUALLY CLEAN THE WHEEL SENSOR AND CHECK THE ABS LIGHT SINCE IT WAS NOT ON THE $3300 ESTIMATE OF NECESSARY REPAIRS), BECAUSE NOBODY REALLY KNEW THEN WHY THE ABS LIGHT WOULD STAY ON.

I HAVE 52,000 MILE ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE THIRD TIME. NOT INCLUDING THE PRICE OF THIS THRID REPLACEMENT THE BRAKES AND TIRE PACKAGE IS COSTING $40 PER MILE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS UNRELIABLE AND THE MANUFACTURER REPAIRMAN STATES THE CASUE IS THE WEATHER CONDITIONS OF NEW YORK. IF THE WEATHER IS THE REASON FOR POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE THEN THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD MODIFY THE SYSTEM OR NOT SELL THE VEHICLE IN NEW YORK.*AK

SEAT BELTS,CHILD SEAT
1 complaint
REAR SEAT BELTS IN 2000 GMC YUKONS FAIL TO RETRACT, PROVIDING NO SAFETY FOR CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEAT WHEN SEATED IN CHILD RESTRAINT SEATS THAT ARE NOT SEMI-PERMANENTLY MOUNTED IN THE REAR WITH THE SEAT BELT THREADED THROUGH THEM. CHILD SEATS THAT USE THE SEAT BELT AS THE PRIMARY RESTRAINING DEVICE ARE USELESS WHEN THE BELTS DO NOT TIGHTEN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO GMC AND THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED AND/OR REPLACED THE SEAT BELT ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. THE DEALER'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO NOT PULL THE BELT OUT ALL THE WAY BECAUSE IT MAY NOT RETRACT - SOMETIMES HARD TO ENFORCE WITH CHILDREN. THE SOLUTION IS FAIRLY SIMPLE - THE AFFECTED VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE A REDESIGNED SEAT BELT MECHANISM PROVIDED TO VEHICLE OWNERS, EITHER BY RECALL OR ON REQUEST. *AK

PASSENGER AND BOTH REAR SEAT POWER WINDOWS QUITE WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A DANGER IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON 2000 YUKONS. THROTTLE PEDAL STICKS AND YOU HAVE TO USE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO UNSTICK IT. THIS CAUSES YOU TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AS YOU START OFF OR ARE IN A BUSY PARKING LOT. COULD CAUSE INJURY TO PEDESTERIAN OR SMALL CHILD. I HAVE ALSO SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM FILED ON 2000 YUKONS. PASSENGER SEAT BELT TIGHTENS AS YOU RIDE TO THE POINT OF CAUSING PAIN, YOU MUST DISENGAGE SEAT BELT AND RENGAGE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. THIS IS ALSO IS A DANGER AS YOU COULD BE UNBELTED WHEN AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. I ALSO HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN SERVICE BULLENTINS ON THESE PROBLEMS, BUT GM REFUSES TO PAY THE REPAIR COST ON OUR VEHICLE. THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS SINCE THESE VEHICLES WERE IN WARRANTY. I PURCHASED A 1996 YUKON NEW AND HAD IT UNTIL TRADING FOR THIS 2000 YUKON, I NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT. THEIR QUALITY ASSURANCE HAS SURE GONE DOWN HILL SINCE 1996.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
1 complaint
MY YOUKON WOULD NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD IT TOWED TO COURTESY CHEVROLET AND THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR $1500 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND PUMP MODULE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE A TRUCK ONLY 4 YEARS OLD ALREADY NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK. SO I SEARCHED THE NHTSA DATABASE FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE EXCEPT IT IS BEING CAUSED BY SHORTED PUMP WIRES IN THE GAS TANK. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK HOME AND REMOVED THE GAS TANK MYSELF SO I COULD GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. WHEN I REMOVED THE PUMP MODULE FROM THE TANK IT WAS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAD SAID. THE WIRES WERE COMPLETELY MELTED TOGETHER. THEREFORE THE INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK NOT STARTING WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE WIRES SHORTING FROM TIME TO TIME INSIDE THE GAS TANK. WHAT IS AMAZING TO ME IS THAT I AM STILL ALIVE TODAY AND MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS (6 & 8) DID NOT GET INJURED. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN EFFORT OF GM TO COVER THIS PROBLEM UP DUE TO MY DEALINGS WITH GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT (OR THEIR LACK OF). REPORTING THIS TO THE NHTSA IS JUST MY FIRST STEP. I WILL FURTHER ELEVATE THIS TO THE NECESSARY LEVEL TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED IN ALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. I HAVE FULLY DOCUMENTED THIS AND HAVE TAKEN DIGITAL PICTURES OF THE PUMP MODULE SHORTED WIRES. IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE THEM EMAIL ME AT [email protected]. *AK

MY PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT HOLD MY VEHICLE ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST GRADE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL PER GMC EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. MY ENGINE HAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I START IT UP IN THE MORNING. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL PER GMC. MY FRONT PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT BACK MOVES FORWARD AND BACK (WOBBLES). MY REAR END WHEEL BEARING WERE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A LOUD HUM. THAT WAS MISDIAGNOSED TWICE BY ALFRED MATHEWS. MY FRONT END FEELS LOOSE AND SQUEAKS WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING. REAR LEATHER BUCKET SEATS RATTLE ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING AND THE LEATHER HAS RIPPED @ SEAMS TWICE. ALFRED MATHEWS REPLACED ONCE AND TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO FIX SEAT RATTLE. MY NEWEST COMPLAINT IS A NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOORS. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****761455
