2000 GMC Yukon Problems & 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.

2000 GMC YUKON STALLS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN PAST 17 YEARS. GM DEALER NOR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC COULD REPAIR NOR WHAT IS CAUSING PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A SPUTTERING NOISE AND STALLED. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT'S BOYFRIEND CALLED SMITH BUICK GMC AT 321-405-3488 (510 E NASA BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL 32901), BUT THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

ON 11/5/17 MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE COLLISION WHERE MY TRUCK HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BOTH VEHICLES WERE DOING 55+ MPH. MY FRONT END TOOK ALL MY DAMAGE. NOT ONE AIRBAG WENT OFF IN MY TRUCK.

RUSTY BRAKE LINES RESULTING IN COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THANKFULLY THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, SO NO ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE.

THE SECOND ROW SEATING IN MY SUV IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE OPTION TO LAY DOWN OR SIT UP LIKE NORMAL. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT OF THE LARGE SECTION TO LAY THE SEAT FLAT. *TR

LOW SPEED ACTIVATION OF ABS BRAKES, ON DRY PAVEMENT, EXTENDING THE STOPPING DISTANCE TO AN UNANTICIPATED LENGTH. ALTHOUGH A COLLISION DID NOT OCCUR, THE PROBLEM IS ON GOING. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 05V379000. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT LOCATED IN ONE OF THE 14 STATES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, OUR STATE DOES AND HAS USED SALT AND OTHER CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES TO CLEAR ROADWAYS OF ICE AND SNOW FOR MANY YEARS. *TR

THE SECOND ROW SEATING IN MY SUV IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE OPTION TO LAY DOWN OR SIT UP LIKE NORMAL. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT OF THE LARGE SECTION TO LAY THE SEAT FLAT, THE CABLE BROKE AS IF IT HAD BEEN READY TO SNAP FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE SMALLER SIDE HASN'T SNAPPED YET BUT I AM SURE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE MENTIONED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED FAILURES RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5-10 MPH WHILE INITITATING A TURN, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

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

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

BRAKES FAILED TO STOP PROPERLY, SURGING/INTERMITTENT PULSING AND STRANGE SOUNDS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION FOR ABS BRAKES. I TOLERATED AND DROVE CAREFULLY FOR YEARS. NOW I FIND THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF A GMC RECALL PROBLEM 05V-379. UPON CONTACTING GMC THEY SAY THEIR COMPUTERS NEED UPDATING AND IT "MAY" BE IN FOR RECALL BUT THE GMC DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS NOW. SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT TOTAL FAILURE AND AM REGISTERING A COMPLAINT. THEY SAID THAT I COULD GET IT FIXED NOW AND THEN THEY "MAY" REIMBURSE ME LATER. I CALLED THE GMC NUMBER ON THEIR RECALL SITE, THE SITE SAID MY NUMBER "MAY" QUALIFY FOR RECALL. I AM CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED NOW THAT I KNOW THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR OTHER GMC PRODUCTS AND CAN'T GET FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON 85 AT 70 MILES AN HOUR AND MY VEHICLE DECIDED TO DROP DOWN TO 20. I HAVE LOOKED UP INFORMATION ON ISSUES THIS TRUCK HAS HAD AND 1 OF THEM IS REGISTERED UNDER NHTSA ID # 100032435 / PIP-4695.GM: LOSS OF POWER HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. 4.3, 4.8, 5.3, 5.7 AND 6.0 ENGINES COUPLED WITH THE 4L60E OR 4L65E MAY EXPERIENCE A CONDITION OF HESITATES, MISSES OR LOSS OF POWER UNDER ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE MAY OPERATE AS IF IT IS IN REDUCED POWER MODE. *PE I HAVE PURCHASED AN AIR MASS FLOW SENSOR, THROTTLE BODY SENSOR, ALL 4 O2 SENSORS, AND A COOLANT SENSOR. MY TRUCK IS STILL NOT RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY. I NEED SOME INFORMATION ON THIS AND SOME HELP FIXING MY VEHICLE. *TR

COMING TO A STOP AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR....MY VEHICLE THEN ROLLED INTO INTERSECTION CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND BRAKE LINE BURST. TO REMEDY SITUATION I REPLACED ALL BRAKE LINES. *TR

VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED WITH HEADS THAT WOULD CRACK OVER TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT FOR OVER A YEAR AND CAUSED MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE A RECALL/COMPENSATION FROM GM. *JS

MULTIPLE BRAKE LINE RUPTURE/ FAILURE ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. *TR

BROUGHT YUKON IN TO KOONS GMC IN MANASSAS, VIRGINIA IN 2012 FOR TWO RECALLS WHICH I WAS TOLD WERE BOTH DONE ALONG WITH GETTING AN ESTIMATE FOR $3300 FOR LARGELY AN INTAKE MANIFOLD. 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 BELIEVE THIS WAS A RETALIATORY ACT. I MENTIONED TO KOONS SND GM CORPORATE BEFORE SERVICE THAT I WAS DISABLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN WHEN THE BRAKES FELT A LITTLE SOFT. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE. I PUT IN A HALF A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID INTO THE RESERVOIR. I DROVE TO THE HOUSE AND PARKED IT. SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER PARKING THERE WAS THE BEGINNING OF A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID. I MADE SEVERAL OTHER STOPS AND AT EACH STOP BRAKE FLUID WAS BEGINNING TO LEAK WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL ABNORMALLY TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY . THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 157,500. UPDATED 02/24/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALLS WERE NEVER DONE. THE RECALLS WERE FALSELY REPORTED AS BEING COMPLETE. THE FRONT BEARING ASSEMBLIES HAD TO BE REPLACED, AT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. UPDATED 02/25/14

DRIVING ON SOUTH ON ROUTE 95 THROUGH CONNECTICUT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON 17AUG12. HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY DUE TO TRAFFIC INCIDENT AHEAD. APPLIED BRAKES BUT LINE BURST AND PEDDLE WENT TO FLOOR. CAR WOULD NOT STOP BUT FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO BREAKDOWN LANE TO ALLOW LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR ENDING CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT HIGH SPEED. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY FOUND THE LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED DUE TO RUST. DEALER REPLACED 40" OF BRAKE LINE. A SIMILAR EVENT OCCURRED DURING MAY OF 2013 ON ROUTE 3 IN MASSACHUSETTS. A COLLISION WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED. *TR

MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND WOULD COST @ $3000 TO REPLACE. YUKON WILL NOT PASS PA INSPECTION AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE PEDAL ABNORMALLY TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND BECAME STUCK IN POSITION. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED, CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I WAS JUST BACKING UP TO HITCH A TRAILER WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THANKFULY IT HAPPENED BEFORE I HOOKED THE TRAILER AS I WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT TOWING A TRAILER WITH NO BRAKES! *TR I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SAW IT WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR, BRAKE LINE HAD BURST.

THE FIRST TIME THE ABS EBCU FAILED WE HAD ONLY OWNED THE CAR A FEW YEARS. WE FIGURED OUT SOMETHING WAS WRONG BY THE CONTINUOUS GROWLING BUZZ UNDER THE VEHICLE. WE HAD TO FULL THE FUSE TO DISCONNECT THE UNIT TO PREVENT IT FROM RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY WHILE WE TRIED TO LEARN EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG. ----------- ON THE GOOD SIDE, THE CAR RUNS FINE WITHOUT IT. ON THE BAD SIDE, EBCU REPLACEMENT IS A RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. GM CHARGES $1400 FOR THE STUPID PART, THE TOTAL WAS JUST UNDER $2000 BY THE TIME ALL WAS DONE.----------- IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF THE EBCU WAS SOME GREAT INVENTION THAT REALLY IMPROVED THE HUMAN CONDITION. IT IS NOT. NOT ONLY DOES IT NEVER HELP, IT IS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS.---------- ANY TIME YOU TRY TO STOP ON BUMPY ROADS THE EBCU FIGHTS YOU. MANY TIMES I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DRIVE INTO AN ACCIDENT AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE THERE WAS A BUMP AND THEN THE STUPID ABS UNIT WOULD NOT LET ME BRAKE. IT FORCES THE BRAKE PEDAL UP AND LETS THE CAR ROLL FORWARD WHEN I AM FRANTICALLY TRYING TO STOP THE CAR.---------- HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE WISHED I DIDN'T HAVE POWER BRAKES AT ALL! ---------- THE REASON I FOUND THIS WEBSITE IS BECAUSE NOW AT 130782 THE STUPID THING HAS FAILED AGAIN. NOW WITHOUT A WARRANTY, BUT WITH THE INTERNET, I LEARNED HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF THIS UNIT. THERE ARE MANY PAGES ABOUT IT AMONG GM CAR ENTHUSIAST GROUPS, AND EVEN EBAY AUCTIONS OFFERING TO FIX THE THINGS! ---------- THE EBCU IS IN A TIGHT SPOT YOU CAN ONLY GET TO WITH ONE HAND WHILE LYING UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND A QUART OF BRAKE FLUID DRIPS OUT ON YOU AS YOU SEQUENTIALLY UNDO THE 5 BRAKE LINES THAT LEAD TO THE UNIT.---------- MY GENERAL OPINION ABOUT AUTO DESIGN IS THAT WHOEVER APPROVES THE FINAL DESIGN OF SOME PART SHOULD HAVE TO CHANGE ONE OF THEM AT HOME WITH TOOLS COMMONLY AVAILABLE TO AN AVERAGE CITIZEN! *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AND TOWING BOAT DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING THAT BRAKES WERE ABOUT TO FAIL. USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE TO SECURE LOCATION, OBSERVED STEADY STREAM OF BRAKE FLUID RUNNING ONTO GROUND FROM UNDER DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. APPARENTLY ROTTEN BRAKE LINES THAT RUN FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE TO REAR FAILED. *TR

BRAKE LINE FROM ABS MODULE TO REAR BRAKES FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. *TR

DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROAD AT 35 MPH. WEATHER WAS CLEAR, ROADS DRY, TEMP 86F.APPROACHING A HILL WITH INTERSECTION AT BOTTOM OF HILL, APPLIED BRAKES AND BRAKE PEDAL HAD NO RESISTANCE, NEARLY TO FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING. BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BRAKES APPLIED(NOT BEFORE). USED PARKING BRAKE TO STOP TRUCK AT INTERSECTION, BARELY MISSING COLLIDING WITH CROSSING TRAFFIC. WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK TO TRUSTED MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED EVERY INCH OF BRAKE LINE FROM ABS BOOSTER TO ALL FOUR WHEELS BADLY CORRODED, LIKE PAPER. LINE WAS PERFORATED OVER REAR AXLE CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID, ALL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE AND NO BRAKING ABILITY. MECHANIC IS CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC WITH OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE, SAID HAS NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE EVEN IN ANTIQUE OR ABANDONED VEHICLES. *TT

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION STOP LIGHT, AT THE SPEED OF UNDER 10 MPH, THE ABS BRAKES SUDDENLY KICKED IN AND PULSATED, NOT ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO STOP. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH A STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, CAUSING ME TO PANIC AND STUMP ON THE BRAKES HARD BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE PARKING BLOCKS IN FRONT OF A BUSINESS. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANICS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ABS WARNING LIGHT OR ERROR CODE, WE ELECTED TO REPLACE BOTH ABS SPEED SENSORS AS A PRECAUTION. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I DECIDED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES INCLUDING ROTORS REPLACED AS A PRECAUTION. THE PROBLEM STILL ACCURES WITH EVERY SLOWER SPEED ATTEMP TO STOP. I AM VERY RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I DUE, I HAVE TO BEGIN MY BRAKING WELL IN ADVANCE AND AT A INCREASED DISTANCE FROM WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO STOP. *TT

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

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

BRAKE LINE ON DRIVER SIDE ROTTED CAUSING RAPID LOSS OF FLUID. *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

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

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

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.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V379000 PE05020 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE05020 COMPONENT: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 1,353,718 MY 2000 YUKON XL IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED THE VEHICLE WOULD SLIDE. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER ROTORS AND PADS BEFORE THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN ORDER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FAILURE WAS WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V379000, WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150000.

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

JUNE 2010 AS I WAS PULLING MY 2000 GMC YUKON INTO A PARKING SPACE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE FACING ME. LIMITED DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO STOP MY VEHICLE FROM HITTING THE OTHER CAR. THERE HAD BEEN NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. SINCE THEN MY VEHICLE HAS CONTINUED TO LOCK UP AT RANDOM. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2005 IN SOME OTHER STATES WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OF COURSE THE STATE I LIVE IN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND ONCE A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, IT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AGAIN IN OTHER STATES. THEREFORE, I AM FACED WITH THE EXPENSES OF FIXING A PROBLEM THE GMAC KNOWS EXIST AT MY EXPENSE!!!!! I'M SURE IT WILL NOT BE CHEAP. THANK YOU GMAC!!! *TR

RIGHT FRONT RUNNING LIGHT ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON DOES NOT LIGHT. I SEE THE SAME PROBLEM ON MANY GMC AND CHEVROLET TRUCKS AND SUVS. THE PROBLEM MAY APPEAR IN A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE VEHICLES. WHEN I REMOVE THE HOUSING FOR THE LIGHT IT USUALLY HOLDS WATER FROM RAIN OR CAR WASHES. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE HOUSING WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WAS POKED WITH A SCREWDRIVER. A NEW BULB WILL ONLY LAST FOR 100 MILES OR SO, THEN IT WILL SHORT OUT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. WHENEVER THE ABS LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY ON A DAILY BASIS. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70000. UPDATED 03/14/10 *BF THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THE FILE TO BE CLOSED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE DIAGNOSIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. UPDATED 04/29/10.*JB

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

UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION WHICH RESULTS IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE DURING LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATION. THE FIRST EXPERIENCE ALMOST RESULTED IN REAR-END CRASH INTO A VEHICLE AHEAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A GM DEALERSHIP (MALOUF GM) ON 11/06/09 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL (THEY REPORTEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM ON 11/01/2001). FOR THEM TO CHECK IF MY COMPLAINT IS RELATIVE TO THE EARLIER RECALL, THERE WOULD BE A COST TO ME OUT OF POCKET. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS AND OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PRESSURE DUE TO DEFECTIVE/ DAMAGED BRAKE SYSTEM LINE (23 DAYS AFTER GM DEALERSHIP-MALOUF GM IN NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ INFORMED ME (WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR AN UNRELATED PROBLEM- ODI # 10293760), THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL). MY PRELIMINARY RESEARCH REVEALED A BULLETIN WHICH NOTES A RECALL; # 71182. INDICATION IS THAT SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CLEARANCE CONDITION BETWEEN THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL THAT COULD DECREASE TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING CONTACT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF CONTACT OCCURS AND THE BRAKE PIPE BECOMES DAMAGED, IN HALF OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM, THERE CAN BE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PRESSURE. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS CONDITION OCCURRED WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT VERY SLOW SPEED. THERE IS BRAKE FLUID SPILLAGE IN MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DRIVEWAY. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS HE EXPERIENCES UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ACTIVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V3790000(SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTI-LOCK). THE FAILURE RE-OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE RECALL REMEDY WAS INSUFFICIENT AND DID NOT ADDRESS THE RECALL DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERN OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 11/18/09. *LJ UPDATED 11/19/09*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. HE STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO RECALL# 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTI LOCK) AT 60,000 MILES. AT 105,000 MILES HE BEGAN EXPERIENCING UNWANTED ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, HE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

ABS BRAKES ACTIVATING ON DRY ROADS AT SLOW SPEEDS JUST BEFORE STOPPING. THIS ORIGINALLY STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT WAS FIXED UNDER NHTSA RECALL 05V379000 DATED 8/3/05. THE PROBLEM IS BACK IN OUR CAR JUST A COUPLE YEARS LATER. SAME PROBLEM AND NOW THE GM DEALER SAYS IT WON'T BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS ENTERING OUR GARAGE AS WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO STOP AND THE ABS GOES OFF EXTENDING OUR STOPPING DISTANCE. *TR

GMC YUKON 2000 THIRD FUEL PUMP SINCE PURCHASED CAR NEW. GM REFUSE TO RECALL MINE. WHAT CAN WE DO? *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP, AT LOW SPEED ON DRY PAVEMENT MY VEHICLE'S ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATED AND DESPITE CONTINUED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE VEHICLE ADVANCED ~8 FEET BEYOND THE INTENDED STOPPING POSITION, NEARLY HITTING A STOPPED SCHOOL THE PROCESS. INTRIGUED BY THE PROBLEM I EXPERIMENTED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE, FOR SAFETY REASONS, DEFEATING THE ABS BY REMOVING THE FUSE THAT POWERS THE CONTROL MODULE. AS I HAVE NOW DISCOVERED, ACTIVATION OF THE ABS TO LOW SPEEDS CONTINUES TO BE A RELATIVELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM LIGHT TRUCKS OF THE 2000 MODEL YEAR AND NEWER. INDEED MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN DECEMBER, 2005 TO SUPPOSEDLY PROVIDE A "FIX" SO THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT OCCUR. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A GM ENGINEER (MAYBE A MARKETING PERSON IN REALITY) WHO TOLD ME SOME NONSENSE ABOUT THIS NOT BEING A RECURRENCE OF THE SENSOR PROBLEM. ACTUALLY IT WAS THE CONVERSATION WITH THE ENGINEER THAT LEAD TO MAKING THIS COMPLAINT. I AM NOT SO UPSET ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE SYSTEM FAILED, FAILURE DO OCCUR, THE PROBLEM IS WITH HOW THE SYSTEM REACTED IN FAILURE. I WORK ON VEHICLE SENSOR SYSTEMS (SUSPENSIONS AND FLUID DIAGNOSTICS) AND A MAJOR DESIGN CONSTRAINT FOR ANY SYSTEM IS THAT ANY FAILURE MODE CANNOT NOT LEAD TO AN UNSAFE CONDITION. IN THE CASE OF MY VEHICLE'S ABS, THE FAILURE MODE ALMOST ALLOW ME TO HIT THE SCHOOL BUS. I THOUGHT DUAL CHANNEL MASTER BRAKE CYLINDERS WERE REQUIRED MANY YEARS AGO (1968 IF I RECALL CORRECTLY) TO TAKE THE EXCITEMENT OUT OF BRAKE FAILURES. LOOKS LIKE GM HAS TRIED TO RENEW THE THRILL OF BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

MAKING 3-POINT TURN ON DIRT ROAD, POWER STEERING FAILED. UPON INSPECTION AT REPAIR SHOP, FOUND THAT SHAFT ON POWER STEERING PUMP HAD FRACTURED. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF POWER STEERING PUMP. THIS CORRESPONDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V005000 AND NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA04012, ALTHOUGH GMC HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. IT SHOULD BE. *TR

FUEL CUT OFF TO ENGINE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH OR A LOWER SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDS TO THE FLOOR WHEN IT IS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A BRIDGESTONE SHOP TO BE REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $1,000. A WEEK LATER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLIDE AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE HYDRAULIC ANTILOCK SYSTEM. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE GMC MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, EXCEPT FOR WISCONSIN BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SALT-BELTED CORROSION STATE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR EXPENSES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,241. UPDATED 02/05/09 *BF UPDATED 02/09/09. *JB

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 KEPT SMELLING FUEL FUMES. THE YUKON WILL NOT START. I STARTED LOOKING UP RECALLS ON THE SITE AND FOUND ONE. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 05V155000. COMPONENT: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: DELIVERY: FUEL PUMP. *TR

MY 2000 YUKON'S FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING OUR FAMILY ON HWY 94 EAST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE STATION WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE APPROX. 20 FAILED FUEL PUMP MODULES AND ASSURED ME THAT THEY WILL INSTALL THE UPGRADED PUMP THAT DOES NOT "BURN" WHEN THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH LOW FUEL LEVEL!!! I GOOGLED THE FAILURE AND CAME TO YOUR RECALL 05V155000 AND THE GM 05027 BUT GMC DOES NOT HONOR IT FOR MY VIN NUMBER??? WHAT IS SURPRISING IS THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE NEW PUMP FROM THE DEALER THEY HAD THE "UPGRADED" ACDELCO ONE ON THE SELF BUT OTHER THAN THAT I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM ACCORDING TO OUR VIN NUMBER!!! SO I THOUGHT THAT IF EVERY GMC OWNER REPORTS HERE MAYBE THEY WILL GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER THERE IN GM AND INSTALL SOMETHING OF A BETTER QUALITY FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THEIR $40K VEHICLES!!! A VERY UPSET BUT LOYAL GM OWNER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSES THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS, HE CAN FEEL THE ABS PULSATING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE IS MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. ALSO, THE CONTACT HEARS A HUMMING SOUND WHENEVER THE FAILURE OCCURS. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES BEFOREHAND AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 174,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000.

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

I WAS DRIVING MY YUKON XL 2000 WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON WEB AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A ODI NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V005000 THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY INDICATED THAT THE CAR VIN WAS NOT IN THE RANGE FOR THE RECALL. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GM TO GET IT FIXED THEY INDICATED THAT FAILURE WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE REPORT 05V005000. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND NOT MY WIFE. I HAD MY 13 MONTH SON IN THE CAR AND THIS FAILURE COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DID HURT MY NECK WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TRYING TO CONTROL AND STEER THE CAR. FOR THE SAKE OF OTHER FAMILIES DRIVING 2000 YUKONS THIS RECALL 05V005000 SHOULD BE BROADEN TO INCLUDE MORE YULON 2000 CARS THAT WERE PRODUCED IN THAT YEAR BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE GETS HURT. *TR

FUEL LEAK AT THE MAIN FUEL TANK ACCESS PORT. THIS VEHICLE HAS TWO FUEL TANKS, THE SMALLER AUXILIARY TANK(WHICH ARE OEM) HOLD ABOUT 8 GALLONS. UPON FILLING THE VEHICLE TO ITS CAPACITY, FUEL WOULD LEAK OUT UNTIL THE AUXILIARY TANK WAS EMPTY AND AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FILL COMPLETELY FULL ( 3/4 ON THE FUEL GAUGE) IT WOULD NOT LEAK FUEL. THIS PROBLEM EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE FUEL PUMPS TO GO BAD AND WHERE REPLACED AND THE LEAK FIXED. NOW ON NOVEMBER 29, 2007 AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING THE LEAK IS BACK AGAIN, UP UNTIL THIS POINT THE REPAIR ALOUD COMPLETE FILLING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO STOP AND THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN THEY WERE APPLIED. THE MECHANIC AT THE AUTO SHOP STATED THAT THE BRAKE SHOES AND DRUM FAILED. THE MECHANIC PERFORMED THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE A CRASH OCCURRED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE REAR END FAILED AND THEN REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

MY 2000 YUKON DENALI OLD BODY STYLE WITH PASSLOCK 1. MANY TIMES IT WILL NOT START DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER FOR NOT TO FIND THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES AND BEING CHARGED AN HOUR FOR NOTHINGS. I DRIVE AND THE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. *JB

FUEL PUMP IS WHISTLING AND FUEL LEAK IS APPARENT WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT IN GARAGE. ALREADY REPLACED ONE PUMP AT 96,000 MILES. ALREADY HAD SERVICE ON THE MELTED WIRES 2 YEARS AGO. CAN GM PROVIDE THE COST OF THE GM BRAND FUEL PUMP SO IT CAN BE REPLACED? *JB

ABS ACTIVATED AT LOW SPEED IN MY DRIVEWAY. *JB

GMC YUKON 2000 AND ABOVE MODELS. TAIL GATE WINDOW INSTALLATION. WINDOW IS ATTACHED TO VEHICLE WITH PLASTIC FASTENERS WHICH TEND TO BREAK AND CAUSE THE WINDOW TO COME SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW FRAME. THE WINDOW IS THEN ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE PRIMARILY BY THE WINDOW LOCK. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2000 YUKON XL, TO MY DAUGHTER'S 2001 YUKON XL AND WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SHOP FOR REPAIR I WAS TOLD BY THE SHOP PERSONNEL THAT THEY HAD FIXED SEVERAL LIKE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW IS COMPLETELY REDESIGNED INDICATING THAT THE FACTORY HAS BECOME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NO CALLED FOR A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN APPEARING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE TO DATE WAS TO PLACE THE INCIDENT DATE AS TODAY'S DATE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED WHEN SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 5 MPH AND THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED BADLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR SERVICE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS DISCONNECTED. THE SERVICE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. UPDATED 1/19/2007 - *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING WITHOUT WARNING WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL # 06E043000 REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED OF THE INCIDENT.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE READINGS WERE INACCURATE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL # 05V155000, CONCERNING THE FUEL PUMP. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UPDATED 8/14/2006 - THE FUEL PUMP WIRING MELTED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. *NM

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

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE STALLS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. A NHTSA RECALL, #05V155000 WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONCERNING, THE FUEL PUMP HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT OFFER A SECOND REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE UNDER THE RECALL.

THREE WINDOW IN MY YUKON HAVE NOW FAILED. THE FIRST WAS THREE YEARS AGO WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY ABOUT THREE YEARS OLD. TWO MORE HAVE NOW FAILED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS COMMON TO YUKON'S. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP DRIVING 5 MPH THE BRAKES FAILED AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. SEAT BELTS WERE IN USE BY ALL 3 OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED TO THE DRIVER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WERE ON SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THE ABS LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V37900, REGARDING THE SERVICE BRAKES, ANTILOCK. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT START. THE CONTACT HAS REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP THREE TIMES, BUT THIS HAS NOT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NHTSA RECALL. # 05V155000, REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP; HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. UPDATED 06/01/2006. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 3-5 MPH. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL # 05V379000, REGARDING THE ANTILOCK BRAKES. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. *AK

MY 2000 GMC YUKON STARTED LEAKING GAS FROM THE FUEL PUMP INTO THE ELECTRICAL OF THE FUEL PUMP. THIS COULD BE SERIOUS AND COULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO EXPLODE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE DEATH OCCURS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE IS AN NHTSA RECALL, 05V379000 CONCERNING THE ABS, HOWEVER THE RECALL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. PRIOR TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE REGARDING THIS BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTIES STOPPING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME THE FRONT BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE LAST TIME THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE DEALER HAS AGREED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AGAIN.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE ABS ENGAGED. AS A RESULT, THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS INCREASED. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V379000, REGARDING THE ABS. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED; HOWEVER NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. UPDATED 03/28/06. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HAVING RECALL WORK COMPLETED UNDER RECALL 05V155000 CONCERNING THE FUEL SYSTEM, THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION HOSE WAS BROKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE BECAUSE THE BROKEN PART IS NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS NOW EMITTING FUMES INSIDE THE CONTACT'S GARAGE WHERE THE VEHICLE IS BEING STORED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. UPDATED 02/28/06. *JB

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 FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA IN 2005 FOR MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATING EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN TO STOP. GMC SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE IN 2005 AND I BROUGHT MY YUKON XL IN TO FIX IT . THEY FIXED IT ,BUT NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN . *NM

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

MY GMC YUKON XL HAS BRAKING AND FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS, I HAVE HAD 1 ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE YUKONS BRAKES DEACTIVATING WHILE HITTING A SMALL BUMP ON THE STREET WHILE TRYING TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND ALL THEY SAID IS THEY WOULD OFFER ME A 1,000 REBATE ON THE NEXT PURCHASE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH THEY ADVERTISED THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ON ("CNN") ALONG WITH THE OTHER DEFECTS. THERE HAS BEEN OTHER HIDDEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROPERLY TELL OR NOTIFY ME. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V379000 CONCERNING THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. THE REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE. *AK THE CONSUMER DISABLED THE ABS. UPDATED 01/11/06. *JB

MY 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 05068 FROM GMC. GMC HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE RIGHT TIME FRAME BUT DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RIGHT VIN NUMBERS. I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS! THE FOLLOWING IS AN EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM GMC: VEHICLES OF A MODEL YEAR ARE AFFECTED. THERE IS AN UPCOMING RECALL 05068 FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR- DESCRIPTION: ABS WHEEL SENSORS. GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF INVOLVED VEHICLES BEGINNING 10/12/2005. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR DIVISIONS (DMV) HAS YOUR CURRENT INFORMATION FOR MAILING PURPOSES IN CASE YOUR VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. BELOW ARE SOME INFORMATION THAT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR THE UPCOMING RECALL. DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION: SOME OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE ASSOCIATED WITH UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS (LESS THAN 10 MPH AND GREATER THAN 3.7 MPH). THIS CONDITION DOES NOT SET ANY ABS CODES NOR DOES IT ILLUMINATE THE ABS WARNING LAMP. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS, BASED ON FIELD REPORT DATA. CONSEQUENCE OF CONDITION: WHEN THE PEAK-TO-PEAK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR VOLTAGE LEVEL RECEIVED AT THE ABS CONTROLLER IS BELOW THE MINIMUM SPECIFIED PEAK-TO-PEAK LEVEL, THE ABS CONTROLLER INTERPRETS THIS AS A WHEEL SPEED THAT IS LESS THAN THE ACTUAL WHEEL SPEED. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ABS INTERPRETS THE WHEEL AS SLIPPING WHEN IT IS NOT. IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE MAY BE REQUIRED. *JB

- INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS EVERYTIME THE GAS TANK IS FULL - ANYTIME THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN OR IN PARK IT SHOWS THE EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN OVER A BUMP OR SOMETHING. - I LOOKED ON LINE AND I NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN ALREADY A SERVICE RECALL ISSUED BUT NOT FOR THE YUKON, ITS FOR THE YUKON XL HOWEVER I CONTACTED GMC AND I EXPLAINED THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE XL, THERE RESPONSE WAS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THE YUKON. WITH IN MIND THAT BOTH OF THESE VEHICLE LINES USE OR SHARE MOST OF THEIR PARTS. *JB

THE SPEED SENSOR FAILS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 6 AND 9 MPG; RESULTING IN NO OR LIMITED ABILITY TO BRAKE. REPEATED NEAR ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC AND IN PARKING SITUATIONS. THE VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AT JIM MURPHY PONTIAC-GMC TRUCK, INC. 3000 WALDEN AVE DEPEW, NY 14043 PHONE: 716-684-8900 FAX: 716-684-9050. I UNDERSTAND GM HAS RECALLED PRACTICALLY IDENTICAL VEHICLES SUCH AS THE GM TAHOE, SUBURBAN, ETC. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE GMC YUKON DENALI IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME VEHICLE AS THE GM TAHOE. I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THAT RECALL IS NOT APPLIED TO THE GMC YUKONS. *NM

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

FIRST PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING, FOUND OUT IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PART FOR MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH GM AND MY AUTO PART STORE THERE IS A SHORTAGE AND THE AUTO PART STORE SAYS ALOT OF GM OWNERS HAVE BEEN REQUESTING THAT PART. STILL WAITING AND DRIVER WINDOW IS STARTING TO GO. THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM. PLEASE CHECK INTO. *NM

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

ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL, A COMPUTER MODULE FOR THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND GOES OUT CAUSING A SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR TO STAY ON RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN. THE FUSE FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MUST BE REMOVED, THUS DISABLING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM DYING. THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE ON MY VEHICLE AND ALSO TO MANY OTHERS WITH 1999-2002 YUKONS. GMC KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. *NM

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES START ACTIVATING AT SLOW SPEEDS. REPORTED TO DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX. HAS NOT CAUSED A CRASH OR INJURY YET. *JB

OUR GAS GAUGE ON OUR 2000 GMC YUKON COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. TOOK IT IN THINKING IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BROKEN. THE PROBLEM THAT COST US A LOT OF MONEY WAS THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FIRST, WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN ON A CAR THIS NEW WITH ONLY AROUND 50,000 MILES AND SECOND, WHY PUT THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE GAS TANK SO THAT IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX? *JB

REF PRESENT RECALL ON 1999-2002 CHEVY & GMC SILVERADO, YUKON LIGHT TRUCKS. I NOTICE THAT RUST IS THE FACTOR IN THE ANTI-LOCK SENSOR RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO FURTHER ADD THAT RUST IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR BREAKDOWN IN ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE A 2000 YUKON WITH 26000 MILES THAT HAS EXTREME RUST DECAY TO REAR AXLE BACKING PLATES AND FRONT ROTORS. THE LOCAL DEALER WHEN QUESTIONED ADMITTED ITS DUE TO RUST BELT ISSUES. I DID NOTICE THAT GM HAS ADMITTED TO HAVING RUST BELT ISSUES WITH ITS BRAKING SYSTEM. WHY ARE YOU NOT REQUIRING THEM TO MITIGATE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WHICH IS EFFECTED? ARE THEY NOT PART & PARCEL OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM? WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER BE SADDLED WITH THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR OF REPLACING THESES COMPONENTS WHICH IF THEY HAVE NOT FAILED SERIOUSLY IMPAIR THE BRAKING AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLES IN QUESTION. MY MECHANIC ADVISES THAT HE HAS HAD MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES COME IN FOR REPAIRS WITH IDENTICAL RUST DISINTEGRATION. THE AREA OF VEHICLE SALE & USE IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN EXCUSE BY THE MANUFACTURER. *NM

MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE AT ABOUT 5 MPH CONTINUALLY . I HIT A FENCE AND DECIDED TO PULL OUT THE ANTI LOCK FUSE WHICH ALSO DISABLED MY CRUISE CONTROL. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AT A LOW SPEED ON A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP LATER FOUND THAT THE STAINLESS BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING. THE ROAD CONDITION WAS PAVEMENT ON A DRY ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL BRAKING. THE CONSUMER HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED ON HER VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SHE HAS EXPERIENCED BRAKING PROBLEMS. REPAIR INVOICES ARE AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *NM *JB

ABS SENSOR FALURE PLEASE PUSH FOR RECALL!!!!!!! WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP ,THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD FARTHER THAN WHAT IS NORMALLY EXPECTED WITH A VIBRATING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. NEARLY CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT! PULLED ABS FUSE UNTILL I CAN GET MORE INFO ON HOW TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

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)

ABS SENSOR WENT BAD IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY. ABS WOULD GO OFF ON DRY ROADS JUST BEFORE VEHICLE STOPPED. SOMETIMES THIS CAUSED OUR VEHICLE TO TAKE LONGER TO STOP. WE HAD THE WHOLE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY REPLACED BY A NON DEALER GARAGE TO THE TUNE OF $382.47. NOW ONE YEAR LATER THE PROBLEM IS BACK. I THINK GM HAS A BIG PROBLEM HERE AND SHOULD RECALL ALL THESE. OUR 2000 GMC YUKON XL ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES AT VERY LOW SPEED THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES RESULTING IN AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. NO WARNING LIGHT GOES ON. THIS OCCURS ON A DRY SURFACE WITH NO WHEEL SLIP. 29,000 MILES ON VEHICLE.

WE ARE AFFECTED BY THE RECENT RECALL CONCERNING THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND ARE WAITING FOR THE NEW HARNESS PARTS TO ARRIVE. 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. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF THIS PROBLEM IS. THANK YOU, DON TITUS 817-705-1064

ANTILOCK BRAKES SLIP AT LOW SPEADS AND FAIL TO STOP VEHICLE. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD INCIDENCES IN RECENT WEEKS WHERE WE NEEDED TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND RESET STOPPING JUST BARELY IN TIME BEFORE A COLLISION. WE PLAN ON BRING THE CAR INTO GMC THIS WEEK. NO INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. OUR COMPLAINT SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020 OPENED ON 4-28-05.

AT SLOW BRAKING SPEEDS {AT 5 MPH} THE ABS BRAKES GO OFF EVERY TIME YOU STOP. WHEN COASTING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT 5 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKES GO OFF THEY LOCK UP AND THEY DO NOT LET GO. WHEN THEY LOCK UP, AND YOUR CANNOT STOP OR CONTROL THE BRAKING, YOU RUN INTO THE CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICHLE ANY MORE BECAUSE SHE CANNOT CONTROL THE STOPPING. I REMOVED THE FUSES THAT CONTROL THE ABS BRAKING SO THAT I CAN CONTROL MY BRAKING.

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.

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

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS ALL THE TIME AS DOES THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES.

DT; WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE DO NOT KNOW IF YOU WILL STOP OR NOT. YOU HEARD THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR. BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH SENSORS AND YOU STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM.

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?

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.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL I HAVE EXPERIENCED ENGAGEMENT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND SUBSEQUENT INCREASED DISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS AT LOWER SPEEDS, 25-40MPH, AND GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS (DRY PAVEMENT). I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MAINTANCE WORK PREFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHEIRE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I REPORTED THE BRAKING PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGERAND ASKED THAT THE BRAKE AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BE INSPECTED. PRIOR TO VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM A TEST DRIVE WAS COMPLETED IN AN ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE BRAKING PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE "VIBRATION: WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT DID NOT POSE ANY SAFETY THREAT. I EXPLAINED AGAIN THAT THE "VIBRATION" WAS NOT FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IN THE BRAKE SHOE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND REPORTED TO HAVE 80% WEAR ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO AND STILL LOOKED GOOD. THERE WAS NO REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I REQUESTED TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. ALL MAINTANCE SERVICE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OIL AND FILTER CHANGES HAS BEEN DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

CONTACT STATES: ABS ON VEHICLE WERE COMING ON WHILE BEING ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS OCCURRED ALSO ON SLIPPERY ROADS, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PAID FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET, A NEW BRAKE SENSOR WAS REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR.*AK

MY ABS BRAKES ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEED AND INCREASE THE STOPPING DISTANCE. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING YET BUT HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS IN PARKING LOTS AND IN TRAFFIC.

POWER WINDOWS IN DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FAILED. THE MOTOR, REGULATOR, CABLE, AND PULLEY BREAK DOWN AND GETS TANGLED INSIDE AND JAMS UP. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE DRIVER SIDE WENT THE END OF THE SUMMER OF 2004 AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT THE MIDDLE OF APRIL. THE WINDOW DOES NOT MOVE

PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR, 2000 GMC YUKON XL. WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SINCE IT SEEMS THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF THIS PART. AND THAT INFO COMES STRAIGHT FROM GM. 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. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER, WHY WOULD THERE BE A SHORTAGE OF THIS WINDOW REGULATOR AND A HIGH DEMAND FOR THIS IF THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. *AK

ACCELERATOR THROTTLE STICKS AND REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO REQUIRE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND EACH TIME CAUSES VEHICLE SURGE.

APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO REAR PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING, RECENTLY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK....UNKNOWN HOW THIS HAPPENED...I REPLACED DOOR SWITCH, BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT 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

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.

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

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

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO MY ABS SYSTEM STARTED TO ENGAGE ON DRY PAVEMENT. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND THE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR, INCREASING BRAKING DISTANCE. IN ONE INSTANCE MY WIFE WAS PARKING AND THE ABS ENGAGED AND THE YUKON RAN INTO THE CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T STOP. THE ABS USUALLY ENGAGES IN THE LAST 5 TO 20 FOOT OF BRAKING AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMEDIATE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND PRIVATE SHOPS AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM.*AK

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

WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

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

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.

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

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 KCHRISTOPHER@CFL.RR.COM. *AK

THE FIRST TIME MY ENGINE STALLED WAS BACK IN 2001 ON THE MIDDLE OF THE 101 FREEWAY IN LOS ANGELES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT HAD TO DO WITH A CHIP. THEY REPLACED THE CHIP AND I HAVEN'T HAD A STALLING PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE PARKING LOT AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY. I AM VERY UPSET THAT SOMETHING SO SERIOUS HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I HAVE THE HEATER OR AC ON AND IF I COME TO A STOP.*AK

MY CONCERN IS THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE IT WAS NEW WITH COMPLAINTS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOESN'T WORK. "ADJUSTMENTS" HELPED ONLY TEMPORARILY. I AM NOW INFORMED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE WORN OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, OF COURSE AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS ALSO TOLD I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM, AS I HAD TO BE DRIVING WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I LOOKED AT THE CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OTHER OWNERS OF GMC YUKONS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. VERY FEW OWNERS CHECK THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ROUTINELY, IN MY OPINION, AND IT IS LIKELY THE PROBLEM MAY BE A COMMON ONE, AND THUS A SAFETY ISSUE. BASICALLY FOR THE 3 YEARS I'VE OWNED MY VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD INADEQUATE OR NON-FUNCTIONING EMERGENCY BRAKES, WHICH I FEEL HAS JEOPARDIZED MY SAFETY. MY VEHICLE HAS 46000 MILES, I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED BY A NON-GM FACILITY, WITH GOOD RESULTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WAS EVIDENCE THE BRAKES WERE SERIOUSLY OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, AND HAD WEAR PATTERNS WHICH WOULD INDICATE A CAUSE OTHER THAN MY DRIVING WITH THE BRAKE ON. I PLAN TO MEET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR MY DEALER AND DISCUSS THIS MATTER FURTHER. MY EXPENSE FOR REPAIR WAS APPROX $250, DONE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER THE DEALER HAD INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND DECLINED TO REPAIR. I FELT I HAD BEEN GIVEN MISLEADING INFORMATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. EARLY IN THE HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. NAIVELY I ACCEPTED THIS EXPLANATION, UNTIL MY LAST VISIT WITH THE DEALER. I SUGGEST A SURVEY OF 1000 OWNERS BE DONE, WITH SELF CHECK OF EMERGENCY BRAKE FUNCTION, TO DETERMINE IF THIS PROBLEM IS A COMMON ONE. THANK YOU. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. JERRY R. CREWS, M.D.

ABS PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN WITH IGNITION SWITCH OFF. HAD TO REMOVE FUSE TO ABS SYSTEM TO STOP THE PUMP. NOW, CANNOT DETERMINE IF BRAKE SYSTEM HAS A FAILURE BECAUSE THE BRAKE INDICATOR STAYS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE THE ABS FUSE IS REMOVED. BRAKE SYSTEM AND ABS SYSTEM SHOULD BE SEPARATE ENTITIES SO THAT A FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.

PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON HAS NEVER WORKED. VEHICLE WILL ROLL DOWNHILL IF PARKING BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. DEALER CLAIMS THE BRAKE IS WORKING PROPERLY AS DESIGNED, TAKEN TO DEALER AT LEAST 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS FOR THIS COMPLAINT, ALWAYS WITH THE SAME EXPLANATION. LAST TIME I HAD THIS CHECKED RECENTLY I WAS TOLD THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES NEEDED REPLACEMENT, THAT I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON (UNTRUE). I HAD BRAKES EXAMINED AT A NON GMC SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE OVERLY WORN ON ONE SIDE DUE TO IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A FUNCTIONING PARKING BRAKE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER GAVE ME MISINFORMATION ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS, NOW REFUSING TO REPAIR THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE EXAMINED BY NSTA. THANK YOU.

EMERGENCY BRAKES DO NOT ENGAGE. I DO NOT NORMALLY USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND ONLY NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *NLM

NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE LEAKING FUEL WHEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF. MOST RECENT CASE OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS A "CRACKED FUEL SENDING UNIT". APPARENTLY THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO BE SPEWED OUT OF THE TANK WHEN PARKED. DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WASN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. CO-WORKER DISCUSSED ALMOST IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH HIS YUKON XL (EXCEPT HIS SPEWED MORE FUEL INTO HIS GARAGE AND NEED TO BE CLEANED-UP BY HAZMAT TEAM). THIS APPEARS TO BE MORE THAN A RANDOM OCCURRENCE OF A PROBLEM THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS. I BELIEVE FURTHER INVESTIGATION (BY THE NHTSA AND GENERAL MOTORS) IS WARRANTED. *NLM

THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2000 YUKON WOULD NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS CONDITION EXISTED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, I WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE HAS A NEW TYPE PARKING BRAKE. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. IT WOULD ONLY HOLD THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. AFTER TWO YEARS OF THE PARKING BRAKE NOT HOLDING I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE AND INQUIRED ONE MORE TIME ABOUT THE PARKING BRAKE. THE DEALER CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PADS AND MADE SOME OTHER CHANGES. NOW THE PARKING BRAKE DOES HOLD THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF SINCE THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM UNTIL THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE.

I OWN A 2000 GMC YUKON XL. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY BLOWING A FUSE (ECM B FUSE). UPON MY OWN RESEARCH INTO THE CIRCUITRY, I DETERMINED THE LIKELY PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND UPON REMOVING AND INSPECTING THE OLD COMPONENT, I DISCOVERED THE HOT WIRE (GRAY WIRE) WHICH OPERATES THE PUMP MOTOR HAD BEEN HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE INSULATION OFF THE WIRE. MOREOVER, THIS HOT WIRE HAD MELTED INTO ONE OF THE WIRES OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT, WHICH IS A GROUND CIRCUIT. THE PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO LIGHT HERE IS THAT THE FUEL PUMP UNIT IS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. WHEN THIS HOT WIRE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE OTHER WIRE, I ASSUME THERE WAS A SPARK, OR THE POTENTIAL FOR ONE. WHY DIDN'T MY VEHICLE EXPLODE? I KNOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY SUCH EXPLOSIONS. I DO KNOW OF ANOTHER GM VEHICLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF EXPOSED WIRES IN THE FUEL TANK. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF THE DANGER LEVEL SHOULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. THANK YOU. *NLM

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.

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.

POWER WINDOW MOTOR FAILED, DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW IS INOPERABLE, STUCK IN UP POSITION, THIS SEEMS TO BE A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH YUKONS

PURCHASED USED YUKON XL ON 10.17,02, ON JAN 6,2003 COMPUTER MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED, CHEVY DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE IT FOR $800 PLUS LABOR, AFTER NEGOTIATIONS THE FINAL PRICE WAS $465, I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH OF COURSE DOESN'T COVER THE COMPUTER MODULE....IN TWO YEARS THE MODULE NEEDED REPLACEMENT? THE COMPUTER MODULE IS THE MAJOR PART, I DON'T LIKE THIS TRUCK, I WAS STUCK AND EVEN RECEIVED A TICKET BECAUSE IT WAS ON A SUNDAY NIGHT AND COULDN'T GET IT TOWED UNTIL MONDAY MORNING.....I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A DEPENDABLE CAR, WAS I MISTAKEN OR WHAT......TS

VEHICLE PARKING BRAKE WAS INOPERATIVE. CONSUMER PUSHED LEVER TO ENGAGE PARKING BRAKES, BUT VEHICLE WAS STILL MOBILE. TS PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD ON THE SLIGHTEST GRADE ESPECIALLY WITH CONSUMER'S BOAT ATTACHED. FAILURE OF THE PARKING BRAKE COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE AND BOAT TO SUBMERGE IN THE WATER. *TT

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION REACTS AS IF IN NEUTRAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT DROPS INTO GEAR. SINCE NO "CODES" SHOW UP WHEN THE CAR IS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR THE DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER IS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS A ROADWAY, MOVER OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, ETC. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED. DT

COMPLETE TREAD PEELED OFF. SENT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS OPERATED WITH "INSUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE"!!! V672WL10200 SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED!!! (NOTE: THE D.O.T. FIELD CUT OFF LAST NUMBER???) MR

I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AND NOTICED GAS FUMES IN THE CAB. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE SUV AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE DRIPPING OFF THE ENGINE ONTO THE GROUND. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (WHICH COULDN'T FIX IT ON A SATURDAY SO WE HAD TO STAY IN TOWN TWO EXTRA DAYS UNTIL MONDAY AND RENT A CAR, BUT THEY WERE FAST ON MONDAY) . I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD , BUT MORE CONCERNING WAS THAT THEY COULD OFFER NO EXPLAINATION AS TO WHAT HAD CAUSED THE LEAK. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSED A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND INJURED OR KILLED ME OR A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE EMAILED GMC ON THEIR WEB SITE TODAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS IT COULD BE LIFE THREATNING.*AK

I HAVE APPEALED TO THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER WITHOUT ANY SATISFACTION. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM EXTENDS BEYOND THE RECALL NOTICE AND SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE FIRESTONE IS FORCED TO MAKE A BROADER RECALL.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN USING THE BRAKES, THEY WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING VEHICLE TO HAVE AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE.

HORRIBLE ODOR EMITTED THRU VENTILATION SYSTEM. DON'T KNOW IF ASSOCIATED BUT MY FAMILY HAS BEEN ILL WITH ALOT OF RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, WALKING PNEUMONIA (2OUT OF 4) IN SAME WEEK , AND MY 5YR OLD HAS BEEN PLAGUED BY VIOLENT VOMITING. I TOOK YUKON TO MARTIN GMC SAID ODOR WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY EITHER MOLD/FUNGUS IN THE EVAPORATOR & COILS. THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG AND NAUSEATING . THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS THRU GMC ON THIS PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILIES HEALTH SINCE I HAVE CHRONIC ASTHMA AND MY CHILDREN HAVE ALLERGIES. THE DEALER IS GOING TO PUT A COATING OF CHEMICALS ON THE EVAPORATOR COILS THAT WILL (KILL?) MOLD AND FUNUS, THEN THEY WILL INSTALL AN ELECTONIC EVAPORATOR DRYER. I HOPE THIS IS GOING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND NOT BE JUST A TEMPORARY FIX BECAUSE MOLD IS VERY HARD TO ERRADICATE IF YOU DO NOT GET TO THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM UPSET THAT A NEW CAR CAN HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY HEALTH RISKS DUE TO THIS?

WHILE DRIVING, REAR CARGO DOOR OPENS. DEALERSHIP STATED GAP AT THE TOP OF THE DOORS WAS NOT CAUSING THE PROBLEM; GAP WAS JUST AN ADJUSTMENT. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM.

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 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

MY 2000 GMC HAS HAD A STALLING ISSUE FROM THE DAY IT WAS DELIVERED. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THEY WILL REPLACE A COMPUTER CHIP BY SEPT. 30, AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM.. I WILL FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPURCHASED IF IT IS NOT FIXED BY SEPT. 30TH. THE DEALER ADMITS THAT THERE ARE "SEVERAL" OF THESE YUKONS AND PICKUPS" THAT HAVE THIS STALLING PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE NOT MAKING POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, PERHAPS THAT WOULD HURT "THEIR BOTTOM LINE"!! ALSO, THESE YUKONS ARE SOLD WITH FIRESTONE LE TIRES, BY REVIEWING THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND SOME OF THE OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, I SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL THAT HAD THE TIRES BLOW, MAYBE THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHECK ON THESE TIRES AS WELL AS THE ONES ALREADY RECALLED . *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

WHILE DRIVING WOULD STEP ON BRAKE PEDAL AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP ON TIME, CAUSING IT TO PASS THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVEN TIMES. DEALER COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AT 65 MPH (~60 DEGREES) WHEN THE PASSENGERR REAR TIRE SEEMED TO FALL A PART. BY THE TIME I PULLED OVER THE TIRE WAS COMPLETLY DESTROYED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TIRE DO THAT BEFORE. WHEN I TOOK THE TIRE TO FIRESTONE THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE TIRE. THEY SAID THAT I PROBABLY HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. I DON'T REMEMBER HITTING ANYTHING IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO DOT NUMBER ON THE FIRESONE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS MADE IN MEXICO WITH THE FOLLOWING NUMBER ON IT 3156 EX BM 20562-3.*AK( DOT NUMBER: BM 20562-3 TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )

THIS IS MY SECOND DENALI. I FILED A REPORT ON THE OTHER WHERE TREAD WAS ACTUALLY SEPARATING AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE CONSTANTLY LOSING AIR AS IF THE TREAD ON THESE TIRES ARE SEPARATING TOO. I PLAN TO HAVE THEM REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AS I AM AFRAID THEY WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO WRECK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DISCONCERTING FOR ME SINCE THE TIRES ON MY OTHER DENALI WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BADLY VIBRATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TIRE TREAD WAS SEPARATING AS IN THE RECALLED TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: )

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES REAR BRAKE WILL LOCK UP BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKE, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK LOCK UP OF REAR BRAKE COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL ON WET OR ICY PAVEMENT. TIRES LEAVE BLACK MARKS ON PAVEMENT. BRAKE PROPORTIONING SYSTEM NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *YH

THIS TIRE, ALTHOUGH NOT IN THE RECALL GROUP PERFORMED JUST AS THE OTHERS WHEN IT BLEW AT 65MPH. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE AND WILL ALSO TAKE PICTURES. I WILL BE HAPPY TO KEEP THE TIRE FOR YOUR INSPECTION. PLEASE ADVISE( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P70/R17 )

DEALER REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. SAID WRONG SPACER PUT IN AT MANUFACTURE PROCESS. OPTIONAL 4.10 REAR.

RETURNING FROM A TRIP TO AL AFTER HAVING OUR YUKON XL FOR APPROX. 2 WEEKS, WE HAD A BLOWOUT AT 4AM. WE HEARD A CLUNK AND ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED. THE TREAD TOTALLY SEPARATED. WE WERE NOT REIMBURSED FOR THE TIRE AND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. NOW THAT WE KNOW FIRESTONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TURN THESE TIRES IN TO FIRESTONE AND GET A COMPLETE REFUND AND THEN GO BUY ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRES. FIRESTONE HAS SAID THEY WILL INSPECT THE TIRES FOR FREE AND IF THEY SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH ANY TIRE, THEY WOULD REPLACE THAT TIRE WITH ANOTHER FIRESTONE TIRE. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP THE FIRESTONE TIRES. CAN YOU HELP?*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )

THE TIRE TREAD CAME APART AND CAUSED US TO HAVE A BLOWOUT ON THE FREEWAY. WE PAID TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED AT A FIRESTONE DEALER BECAUSE THE GM DEALER TOLD US IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. THE FIRESTONE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT WE HAD RUN OVER ANY ROAD HAZARDS TO CAUSE THE TIRE TO COME APART. WE ARE TRYING TO GET GM TO REPLACE THE TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. IN LIGHT OF RECENT NEWS REPORTS ABOUT THESE FIRESTONE TIRES, WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH OUR FAMILY ON THESE TIRES. WE FEEL FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND WE DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265\70RI6 )

FRONT DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS VERY DISTRACTING AND FEELS LIKE IT COULD FAIL UNDER THE PRESSURE OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALER CONTACTED AS WAS MANUFACTURER. THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE ALL LIKE THAT AND A REPAIR IS NOT POSSIBLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL TODAY ( I WAS USING THE GEARS SO THE BRAKES WERE NOT OVERHEATED)...THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED MOMETARILY WHEN I REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL - I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER (AFTER GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION) AND THEY WERE PERFECTLY FINE. *AK

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND IS NOW AT DEALER. DEALER IS HAVING PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG SENSOR CLIPS, WHICH KEEP FAILING AFTER REPLACEMENT. DEALER CONSIDERS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AS AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. *AK

VEHICLE WAS SITTING ON ITS OWN WHEN GLASS EXPLODED. THE WEATHER WAS NICE AROUND 80 DEGREES EVEN IF NOT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. POSSIBLE DEFECT; POOR QUALITY OR FITTING. AND SO ON...

FRONT PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT BACK HAVING EXCESSIVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT WHILE OWNER IN THE SEAT.

MY NEW GMC WAS SHIPPED WITHOUT A DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG. WE HAD AN INTERMITTANT INDICATION (WARNINING LIGHT) ABOUT 4 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VECHICLE. I BELIEVE THE AIR BAG WAS TAKEN/NOT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY AND THAT THE WIRING WAS RIGGED TO SHOW AN AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, WITH NO RESPONSE OTHER THEN THEY CREATED A FILE. BOTTOMLINE...IF AN AIRBAG IS NOT INSTALLED THE SYSTEM SHOULD INDICATE A FAULT. IF MY AIRBAG WAS TAKEN THERE MAY BE OTHER FAMLIES DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AN AIRBAG IS NOT INSTALLED HOW IT COULD PASS A SYSTEMS SENSOR CHECK. THE LOCAL GM DEALER HAS ORDERED A NEW AIRBAG.*AK

WHEN YOU GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES, WITH A CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOU RECEIVE NO TACTILE FEEDBACK VIA INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BRAKE PETAL THAT THE BRAKES ARE BEING ENGAGED. YOU CAN PRESS THE BRAKE PETAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND STILL NOT GET A POSITIVE FEELING THAT THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO QUANTATATIVE MEASUREMENTS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO SEE IF IT IS WITHIN MANUFACTURER SPECS. THE MANUFACTURER WANTS TO WAIT OVER 7 DAYS BEFORE ANOTHER DEALER CAN SEE THE VEHICLE AND CONDUCT TESTS.*AK

THE SEAT DIRECTLY BEHIND DRIVER'S SEAT WILL NOT LOCK WHEN A CHILD'S RESTRAINT SEAT IS USED AND THE BELT IS PULLED TIGHT TO GET SLACK OUT TO HOLD CHILD'S SEAT SECURE. *ML

WHILE DRIVING HOME IN THE RIGHT LANE ON A TWO-HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER'S WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SWAMP-NO PEOPLE OR CONSTRUCTION SITES AROUND, NOR WAS THERE A CAR NEXT TO ME. AS THE WINDOW LOST STRENGTH FROM SHATTERING IT BOWED IN AND I PULLED OVER TO KNOCK OUT THE REST OF THE GLASS. WITH THE REMAINING GLASS AROUND THE CAR, I SUSTAINED CUTS TO MY LEFT HAND AND A PIECE FLEW INTO MY EYE AND TORE A CONTACT. MY YOUNG DAUGTER SUSTAINED SCRATCHES ON HER SCALP DUE TO GLASS IN HER HAIR.WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, HE STATED THAT HE HAD HEARD THE REAR WINDOWS BLOWING OUT BUT NOT THE SIDE ONES! ALL WE WANTED TO WAS RELINGUISH THE LEASE, BUT GMC REFUSED. WE HAD TO PAY OUT- I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATALITIES.THANK YOU. *AK

DRIVER'S SEATBACK ROCKS BACK AND FOURTH. OWNER IS WORRIED THE SEATBACK MAY COLLASPE WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND TRUCK GOING INTO A "NEUTRAL" WHILE ON HIGHWAY, TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY KEPT IT 11 DAYS HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. NOW, APRX 6 WEEKS LATER TRUCK IS AGAIN NOT SHIFTING RIGHT, PUT IN REVERSE FROM PARKED POSITION, PRESS ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK SLAMS INTO GEAR. WHEN IN DRIVE FROM PARKED POSITION ACCELERATE AND IT REVS AND REVS AND FINALLY SLAMS INTO DRIVE THEN INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING GOES IN & OUT OF GEAR. PRETTY DISGUSTED FOR A XMAS GIFT AT $45,000.00 NEVER EXPECTED THIS. *AK

THE FRONT SEATS ROCK UNPREDICTABLY. THEY ROCK BOTH FORWARD AND REWARD UNDER ACCELERATION AND BRAKING AS WELL AS ROUGH TERRAIN. THIS IS IRRITATING AS WELL AS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO BRAKE/ACCELERATE CONSISTENTLY WITH THE MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AS WELL AS GM CANADA AND I HAVE HAD THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SEAT REPLACED. THERE IS STILL SOME MOVEMENT IN THE SEATS PARTICULARLY THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER NOW CLAIMS THE MOVEMENT THAT IS STILL REMAINING IS A NORMAL CONDITION. *AK

DRIVER'S SEATBACK MOVES UNEXPECTEDLY, WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK *ML

THIS WAS A REAR-END COLLISION. WE WERE STANDING STILL WHEN HIT. DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSED UPON IMPACT. *AK
