Summary

My kids and I was on the interstate and all of sudden my yukon reduce engine power.Dropping to 30 in a speed zone of 70.I was very afraid for our safety and appreciate there concerns for reducing engine power to save the truck,but that's very dangerous. So I paid to replace the throttle body and gas pedal cause that was the codes for the problem. But it's still doing the same thing and I don't have money to keep buying parts.Plus it a gm problem and I really need some help with the fixture..

Summary

OUR YUKON ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WILL JUST DISPLAY REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SPEED WILL DECREASE RAPIDLY. I HAVE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF REMOVED KEY WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT MAY RUN FINE OR MAY JUST CONTINUE TO HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. BETWEEN THE TOW BILLS AND SHOP FEES I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN THE TRUCK IS WORTH. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND SPENT OVER 5K FOR THEM TO STATE THE CAN NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY SAY THERE ARE NO CODES. THEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT RUN NORMAL FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THERE IS NO PATTERN. IT HAS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND THEREFORE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES OCCURS. MAKING THIS VERY DANGEROUS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 80 MPH. THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I AM NOT SURE WHY GMC HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I SAW SEVERAL OTHER BLOGS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I LOVED MY TRUCK UP UNTIL THESE ISSUES STARTED, PREVIOUS TO THIS THE TRUCK HAD A PARASITIC DRAW THAT AFTER 3 YEARS MY BROTHER FIGURED OUT NOT GM OR ANY OTHER MECHANIC. THAT WAS THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODULE FOR THOSE THAT MAY BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IS THERE A WAY TO ENCOURAGE GM TO DO A RECALL? I NOW HAVE A USELESS TRUCK SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

Summary

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ROUNDING A BLIND CURVE THE TRAFFIC AHEAD HAD STOPPED DUE TO A CRASH. I HAD TO BRAKE HARDER THAN NORMAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST KEPT DEPRESSING FURTHER AND FURTHER UNTIL IT WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WASN'T STOPPING NEAR FAST ENOUGH AND HAD TO VEER TO THE LEFT INTO THE MEDIAN TO AVOID MAKING CONTACT WITH ANYONE ELSE. IT WAS RAINING AND AS I LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK TO LOOK FOR WHY MY BRAKES WERE INEFFECTIVE BUT COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AT THAT TIME. I CHOSE TO TRY TO DRIVE HOME NOT SURE WHY I HAD THE PROBLEM STOPPING. THE NEXT DAY WAS DRY AND I HAD MY BROTHER PUMP THE BRAKES WHILE I LOOK UNDERNEATH AND FOUND NUMEROUS PLACES WHERE THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTING AT AN ALARMING RATE AND ONE LOCATION WHERE THE RUSTED LINE FAILED. I REPAIRED THE LEAK I HAD FOUND AND WHEN I TRIED TO BLEED THE BRAKES FROM THAT REPAIR I WOULD BEGIN AN UNENDING RUN OF LEAKS UP AND DOWN THE METAL BRAKE LINES FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR. THIS YUKON HAS AROUND 260K MILES BUT THOSE BRAKE LINES SHOULDN'T BE RUSTING THROUGH LIKE THEY ARE. I HAVE HAD MORE THAN 15 TAHOES, YUKONS, YUKON XLS, SUBURBANS, AND PICKUP TRUCKS FROM GM AND NEVER HAVE I HAD SUCH A RUN OF BRAKE FAILURES AS THIS 2004 MODEL YUKON WAS NOW GOING THROUGH. GM SAYS THIS IS NORMAL MAINTENANCE BUT HOW CAN ONE EVEN SEE IF A FAILURE IS OCCURRING AS MANY OF THESE LINES ARE CONCEALED BY THE FRAME, CHASSIS, AND BODY. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES, BE IT PICKUPS OR TAHOE'S OR SUBURBANS OF THE 2000 TO 2006 MODEL YEARS AND NEARLY ALL HAVE COMPLAINED OF CHRONIC BODY RUST ISSUES BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY BRAKE FAILURES FROM BRAKE LINES RUSTING AND THEN BLOWING OUT WITHOUT WARNING. MANY ALSO CITED THAT OF THE LINES THAT ARE VISIBLE TO INSPECT THEY WOULD APPEAR TO BE OK BUT JUST OUT OF VIEW ONE WOULD HAVE A SUDDEN BLOW OUT WITH NO WAY TO SEE OR KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM SINCE THE LINES ARE CONCEALED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, HIT THE BRAKES WHEN A COUPLE OF DEER JUMPED ONTO ROAD AND THE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING ACTION AT ALL. HAD ENOUGH TIME TO REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HIT THE PARKING BRAKE IN TIME BEFORE REACHING INTERSECTION TO BUSY HIGHWAY. INSPECTION AFTERWARD SHOWED BRAKE FLUID ON THE FRAME NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHERE THE PROPORTIONING VALVE IS LOCATED. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE FAILURE AND HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND TOWN MOST OF THE DAY. HAVE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURES ON VEHICLES BEFORE AND ALWAYS HAD HALF THE SYSTEM REMAIN OPERATIONAL ENOUGH TO STOP WITHOUT PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A SINGLE FAILURE MODE THAT CAUSED THE LOSS OF BRAKING OR A SIMULTANEOUS FAILURE OF MULTIPLE SYSTEMS WHICH SHOULD BE UNLIKELY BUT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WITH IMPROBABLE REGULARITY BASED ON COMPLAINTS POSTED.

Summary

WHEN DRIVING WHETHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS, THE CAR WILL WITHOUT NOTICE SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 15MPH. A CODE OF "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THE CAR WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 15MPH, EVEN WITH YOU FOOT ON THE GAS PETAL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. THEY KEEP REPLACING DIFFERENT PARTS THINKING THAT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. ALMOST WITHIN A WEEK AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I TREASURE MY KIDS AND I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN WHENEVER I AM ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60 OR 70 MPH AND A SEMI TRUCK RUNS INTO THE BACK OF ME WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. APPARENTLY GMC DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR GMC MODEL. IS IT GONG TO TAKE THE LOSS OF SOMEONE'S LIFE BEFORE THE NHTSA TAKES A STAND ON THIS ISSSUE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000.00 IN REPAIR BILLS AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE JUST THIS PAST WEEK. I BELIEVE THAT GMC SHOULD ISSSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND THEY REPAIR AT THE THEIR COST.

Summary

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY IN 2007 AND NOT TO LONG AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE SOME OF THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO ONE OF THEIR SERVICE CENTER WHICH THEY LOOKED AT IT AND STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY HUSBAND EXPLAINED THE GAUGES WOULD SOMETIMES STICK/QUITE WORKING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND HE WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO TRY TO GET IT TO WORK AGAIN. TIME WENT ON AND IT GOT WORSE AND MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE TOLD HIM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE PAID FOR A REPLACEMENT AND SHORTLY AFTER THE REPLACEMENT IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING THE OTHER PANEL DID. ALL THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND WE HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO GET IT TO WORK AND NOW IT HAS GOTTEN EVEN WORSE AND I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE BECAUSE WHY SHOULD WE CONTINUE TO SPEND OUR MONEY ON GETTING REPLACEMENTS AND THEY DO THE SAME THING. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THESE PANELS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A SERVICE WARRANTY ON THE PANEL BUT IT EXPIRED IN 2011. I THEN STATED THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERVICE WARRANTY BECAUSE WE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL AND THEY STATED THE SERVICE WARRANTY WAS MAILED OUT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE AND WE MUST NOT HAVE REGISTERED OUR VEHICLE CORRECTLY WITH THE DMV (DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE) WHICH I DON'T SEE HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN WE RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL EVERY YEAR TO RENEW THE REGISTRATION ON THE VEHICLE WE ARE CURRENT EVERY YEAR SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE DIDN'T RECEIVE THE NOTICE REGARDING THE SERVICE WARRANTY IN THE MAIL. *TR

THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, ON THE 2004 GMC DENALIS. IT'S LIKE IT STARTS SLOW YOUR GAUGES GO OUT. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING! THEN THE OIL, TEMP FOR ENGINE, AND TRANSMISSION. WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE. THEN THE BRAKES GET A MIND OF THEIR OWN. RECENTLY THE RADIO & LIGHTS ARE ACTING UP WHICH IS SCARY, I HAVE A 7 YR. OLD. THE HEAT IN THE BACK DOESN'T WORK FOR HER, SO I HAVE SEVERAL BLANKETS FOR HER. THE TELEVISION QUIT LONG AGO, IT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WE BOUGHT THE CAR, SO KIDS COULD WATCH TELEVISION ON LONG TRIPS, OR WHENEVER. WE PAID A LOT FOR THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD THINK GMC WOULD STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND CORRECT THE PRODUCT THEY STAND BY,AND ARE VERY PROUD OF. I WOULD LOVE TO JUST PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. I DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY, I LOST MY JOB, WE ARE PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK WITH MY HUSBANDS INCOME. I CAN'T FIX OR REPLACE THIS CAR, THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVED BEFORE ALL THE MALFUNCTIONS/DEFECTS. I HAVE A GARMIN SO I CAN TELL MY SPEED, AND HAVE TO HIT THE SIDE INSIDE THE CAR WHEN THE LIGHTS WON'T WORK. I PRAY, YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT, AS SO MANY HAVE REPORTED THE SAME COMPLAINTS. ONE GENTLEMEN GAVE YOU A WEBSITE I'VE SEEN MYSELF OF PEOPLES COMPLAINTS.

AS I SLOWED EXITING A FREEWAY ABOUT 35 MPH, I HEARD A SCREECH & A BIT OF LOSS OF POWER. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT INTO REVERSE FOR PARKING (LATER) IT WAS APPARENT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. AS I INVESTIGATED ON LINE IT WAS AN ONGOING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM DUE TO "LESS THAN ROBUST PARTS" INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. GM DEALER-SERVICE REP. JOHN AT ZUBOR AGREED WITH THIS AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT GM SINCE IT WAS, JUST OVER THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT TOOK GM TWO WEEKS OR MORE TO REPLY & RETURN MY CALLS & EMAILS, WHEN OF COURSE I WAS TOLD A GM DEALER MUST DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM--VEHICLE WAS ALREADY REPAIRED AT THAT POINT BY MY OWN MECHANIC. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER FORM OF TRANSPORTATION & SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAD NO PROMISE OF GM ASSISTANCE, I TOOK IT WHERE I COULD! I PAID $1850.00 FOR A NEW TRANS WITH WARRANTY. I WOULD NOT BE WRITING EXCEPT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM & THE GM TECH ON LINE SAID THERE WAS "NOTHING YOU COULD DO TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING SINCE THE INTERIOR PARTS ARE WEAK". GM TECH COMMENTED GM HAD BEGAN USING MORE "ROBUST PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT, BUT DUE TO HIGH LABOR COSTS (INTERIOR PARTS) HE SUGGESTED TO REPLACE TRANS SO YOU WOULD HAVE A WARRANTY".

HELLO OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS, MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING INTERMITTENT MESSAGE FLASH ACROSS THE DASH "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND "STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED", AND THE TRUCK IS LIMITED TO 25MPH.. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN TRAFFIC, FORCING MY WIFE, OR MYSELF TO HAVE TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AFTER SITTING FOR 5-10 MINUTES THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF, AND THE ENGINE WILL BE FINE. THE DESCRIBED SCENARIO JUST OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY FOR THE 3RD TIME IN ONE DAY,, SO THINGS APPEAR TO DEGRADING RAPIDLY, AND I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE SYSTEM REVIEWED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I HAVE FOUND A THREAD WITH NUMEROUS RELATED CONCERNS AT EDMUNDS,COM (HTTP://FORUMS.EDMUNDS.COM/DISCUSSION/5759/GMC/YUKON-DENALI/GMC-YUKON-REDUCED-ENGINE-POWER-MESSAGE), AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THEIR IS A VALID RECALL FOR MY VIN.

DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN TAKING THE SPEED FROM 35MPH OR ABOVE TO 5-10 MILES MPH WITH OUT WARNING. THIS CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENED AS YEARS PASSED AND GM CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP NEVER FOUND WHAT'S WRONG. UNTIL ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I GOOGLED ISSUE AND FOUND ITS RELATED TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND WIRING FROM PEDAL THAT LEADS TO ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL, I CHANGED THROTTLE CONTROL PLUG TO NEW AND REPLACED ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH USED PART AND WORKED FINE FOR TWO YEARS BUT HAS NOW STARTED FAILING AGAIN. I AM AFRAID OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I COULD BE ON FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH AND IF THESE FAIL AS THEY HAVE AND ARE, I THEN SLOW DOWN TO 5-10 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

Summary

THE BRAKE LINES ON MY 2004 XL YUKON WENT OUT LEAVING ME HELPLESS WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD TWIN DAUGHTERS. I WAS OUT DOING ERRANDS YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 55 MILES AN HOUR ON A MAJOR SIDE HIGHWAY WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE AND MY FOOT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR.... I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP I WAS PETRIFIED BECAUSE I WAS IN FULL TRAFFIC. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASS TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING SITUATION I HAVE EVER BEEN IN. WHEN MY HUSBAND ARRIVED HOME I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED , HE LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO FIND ALL I SAID ALL OF MY BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND RUSTED AND CRUMBLY TO THE GROUND. HE SAID HE NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL USED CARS IN OUR LIFETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST TO EVER EXPERIENCE BRAKE LINE FAILURE!!!!!! I CALLED GM TO DISCUSS MY DILEMMA AND HOPEFULLY GET HELP WITH THE REPAIR AND CONFIRM MY HUSBANDS FINDINGS. WE WERE ADVISED THEY WILL DO THE TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC,BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. WE WERE ALSO ADVISED THIS WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. WELL IF WE WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT TODAY... WELL HERE I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM ABOUT THE TOW. I ALSO CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAD SEVERAL CARS IN THERE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW FOR BRAKE LINE REPAIR, BUT COULD DO NOTHING WITH ABSORBING THE REPAIR COST. I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO GENERAL MOTORS AND TAKE IT UP WITH THEM.... AT THIS POINT I AM THANKFUL FOR BEING ALIVE WITH MY BEAUTIFUL TWIN DAUGHTERS WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN CRIPPLED , DISMEMBERED OR EVEN DEAD I AM SEEKING FROM GENERAL MOTORS COMPENSATION FOR REPAIRS OF MY BRAKELINES ON MY GM XL YUKON 2004. *TR

AS I WAS APPROACHING THE TOLL PLAZA TO GO OVER THE BAY BRIDGE I SLOWED DOWN AND SEEM TO HAD STOPPED WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE CLEAR TO THE FLOOR AND I HIT THE BOX TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC. I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND IT WAS ALL LIT UP AND BLINKING. THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME I HAD LOST MY BREAKS AND THAT WHEN HE WOULD MOVE I WOULD BEGIN TO MOVE AS WELL. I WAS NOT FAR FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE BRIDGE BUT I WAS SIX OR SEVEN LANES TO THE LEFT IN THE EASYPASS LANE. I CALLED MY BROTHER ASKING HIM WHAT TO DO AND HE TALKED ME THROUGH AS I WAS PANICKING. I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS AND LOTS OF TRACTOR TRAILERS GOING THROUGH THE PLAZA. I WAS FOR SURE I WAS GOING TO BE HIT OR HIT SOMEONE ELSE. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOWS PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND BEGAN TO BLOW MY HORN AND YELLING OUT THE WINDOW I HAVE NO BRAKES SO THAT I COULD GET OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD RIGHT BEFORE THE BRIDGE. AS I DID PEOPLE DID STOP AND LET ME GET OVER AND I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT THEY WERE NOT STOPPING THE TRUCK. AS I WAS DRIFTING OVER A TOLL FACILITY TOW TRUCK WAS ON THE SIDE AND HE YELLED TO ME WHAT WAS WRONG. I TOLD HIM NO BRAKES AND HE TOLD ME TO JUMP OUT AND HE JUMPED IN AND HIT THE TRUCK UP OVER A SMALL EMBANKMENT TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY OF ALL THE TRAFFIC. HE GOT IT TO STOP AND GOT OUT AND LOOKED UP UNDER THE TRUCK AND COULD SEE THAT TWO OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE SNAPPED. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED WITH OVER THE BAY BRIDGE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TWO BRAKE LINES THAT SNAPPED AND THEY COULD NOT BLEED THE LINES FULLY SINCE THEY WERE AFRAID THAT THE OTHER TWO LINES COULD SNAP AT ANY TIME. I GOT HOME AND HAD TO HAVE THE OTHER TWO LINES DONE AS WELL.

Summary

UPON APPLYING BRAKES, WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL, THE RIGHT REAR STEEL BRAKE LINE BURST RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. FORTUNATELY,Y I HAD SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE NEXT CAR THAT I COULD AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE STILL HAD SOME BRAKING POWER TO ALLOW ME TO DRIVE IT TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT WHERE IT CONTINUED TO LOSE BRAKE FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED ALL THE STEEL LINES WITH COPPER/NICKEL LINES AT A COST OF $1,606.00. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STEEL LINES ARE RUSTING OUT AS A RESULT OF THE DE-ICING CHEMICALS BEING USED ON THE ROADS DURING THE WINTER. I HAVE HAD VEHICLES UP TO 15 YEARS OLD IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE AS THIS. I QUESTION THE QUALITY OF THE STEEL LINES. IF GM IS OF THE OPINION THAT THEIR STEEL LINES CAN'T WITHSTAND THE DE-ICING CHEMICALS THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE INSTALLED COPPER/NICKEL LINES AT THE FACTORY. THANK YOU. *JS

Summary

THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE. AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (5-55 MPH) THE STEERING GOES OUT AND YOU CANNOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO CORRECT THIS. THE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND SINCE THIS IS NOT A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM, THEY ARE UNABLE TO EXPERIENCE IT. IT'S A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU ARE ON THE BELTWAY AND NEED TO TAKE AN EXIT, OR FOLLOW THE BELTWAY BEARING RIGHT OR LEFT AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING. MORE FRIGHTENING IS WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I'VE HAD ONE MINOR INCIDENT/ACCIDENT WHILE BACKING UP TO PARK MY TRUCK AT A CAMPGROUND. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND WAS DRIFTING. THERE WAS A TREE BEHIND ME, WHICH I NEEDED TO PARK NEXT TO, AND THE STEERING WENT OUT AND MY LEFT BUMPER EDGE CAUGHT THE TREE, WHICH PUSHED THE BUMPER IN SLIGHTLY. THIS CAUSED THE RUBBER TRACK ON THE TOP OF THE BUMPER TO POP UP AND IT CANNOT BE REATTACHED. ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE NASTY SCRATCHES ON THE BUMPERS EDGE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE JUST QUITS RUNNING BY ITSELF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE BRAKES, STEERING OR ENGINE. I REPORTED THIS TO ODI IN MARCH OF 2006 CONFIRMATION #10153178. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO GMC DEALERS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE MANY TIMES AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM. I SAW ON THE NEWS RECENTLY THAT OTHER GMC PRODUCTS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND HAVE CAUSED DEATHS, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. I WANT TO KNOW WHY NOT? I AM LUCKY I DID NOT GO OVER A CLIFF ON WOLF CREEK PASS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED AND KILL MYSELF. THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE IS EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS ON THE NEWS NOW WITH THE OTHER GMC MODELS. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND WAS NOT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS. I ALSO WROTE GMC ON OCT 11, 2005 AND ALSO CALLED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES BUT TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY GAVE UP BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD LISTEN TO ME. WELL I HOPE SOMEONE LISTENS NOW BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED BECAUSE GMC DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2004 YUKON IN THIS RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON XL AND ON 10/21/13 MY BRAKE COMPLETELY GAVE OUT. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT TEN MPH AND WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO A STOP. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE CONDITION. MY SON USUAL DRIVES THIS TRUCK TO SCHOOL AND WORK THANK GOD HE WAS NOT BEHIND THE WHEEL. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED THE BRAKE LINES ARE COMPLETELY CORRODED. THE BRAKE LINE UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR JUST BEHIND THE ABS UNIT CORRODED THROUGH. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES SHOW MAJOR CORROSION. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 76,500 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE WITH THIS LITTLE USE. MAY I ADD THAT I KEEP THE VEHICLE MECHANICALLY AND COSMETICALLY METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. I WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED IF THERE IS ANY ACTION TAKEN BY GMC TO RESOLVE OR REPAIR THESE ISSUES. FURTHERMORE IF ANY CLASS ACTION SUIT ARISES I WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED. THROUGH MY RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY CAUSING MANY ACCIDENTS. GMC SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THANKS *TR

SINCE GETTING THIS CAR IN 2005, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED REDUCED ENGINE POWER. WHETHER GOING 40MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD OR 70 ON THE INTERSTATE, THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE "FIXED" TWICE, SPENT ABOUT $1000 ON 2 SEPARATE "REPAIRS," YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW SCARY IT IS TO BE GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND THEN HAVE YOUR ENGINE POWER REDUCED. TO BE GOING 70 AND THEN FORCED BELOW 70 IS DANGEROUS. WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND KILLED TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND PASS SOMEONE. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. I KNOW NUMEROUS GM OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ACROSS NUMEROUS VEHICLES. WHY HAVEN'T YOU FORCED THEM TO FIX IT? IS IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT, AND IT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE ECONOMY? SAFETY AND RELIABILITY ON ROADWAYS SHOULD BE IMPORTANT, TOO. *TR

OIL PRESSURE FLAT-LINED IN JANUARY OF 2012 AND IT WAS TAKEN TO MY MECHANIC. THE SLUGS WERE CLEANED AND A NEW OIL PUMP WAS PLACED BECAUSE OF THE BUILD UP OF SLUGS. I WAS ADVISED TO CHANGE THE OIL FREQUENTLY TO CLEAN THE SLUG OUT BUT IT CONTINUED TO BUILD UP AND THE MYSTERY OF LOOSING COOLANT OIL PRESSURE HAS BOTTOMED OUT TWO MORE TIMES AND I FOUND A ARTICLE ON THE INTERNET THAT A NUMBER OF GMC VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE WERE BUILT WITH DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEADS DUE TO CRACKS OVER TIME WHICH ALLOWS COOLANT TO LEAK INTO ENGINE AND MIX WITH THE OIL WHICH BUILDS UP SLUG. I WANT TO KNOW WHY A RECALL DOES NOT EXIST. THIS HAS COST ME SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS....I NEED GMC TO MAN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT.*JB

MY SON AND I WERE GOING NORTH ON RT 1 IN REHOBOTH BEACH AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND SMELLED GAS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND GAS WAS LEAKING FAST FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. TOOK IT STRAIGHT UP TO MY MECHANIC [XXX] AT EMERY CHASSISWORKS AND LEFT IT FOR HIM TO CHECK. HE FOUND THE METAL GAS PUMP HAS RUSTED OUT ON TOP AND WAS PUMPING GAS ALL OVER. .HE SAID HE ONLY FOUND ONE OTHER YUKON WITH THAT PROBLEM. ALL THE OTHERS HAD A PLASTIC TOP (THAT COULD NOT RUST). THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (ANY CIGARETTE, SPARK, ETC.) AND WE WERE BLOWN UP. WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THE GAS PUMP ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK WITH A PLASTIC TOP THAT DOESN'T RUST. VERY DANGEROUS.

Summary

THE "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED" SENSOR COMES ON FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND MY VEHICLE WON'T GO FASTER THAN 5MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS ONLY UPON START UP OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES, IF I WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR, IT'LL START JUST FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I FIRST BROUGHT IT INTO HENDRICK CHEVROLET ON 10/15/12. THEY CHARGED ME ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE "APP SENSOR ASSEMBLY". THEN I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN ON 11/6/12 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE "CONNECTOR AT THE THROTTLE BODY" AND CHARGED ME $223.09. THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. I THEN BROUGHT IT BACK ON 12/20/12 WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE WON'T TURN OFF AS A RESULT OF THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER-STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED WARNING. THEY SIMPLY RESET THE WARNING AND THAT WAS IT. TIL THIS DAY, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER/STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED. THIS HAS BECOME A CONSTANT ISSUE AND THORN ON MY SIDE AND EACH TIME I BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY ALWAYS TELL ME IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. I HAVE READ MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD. WHY HAVEN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS??? *TR

THE SUBJECT VEHICLE HAD RECENTLY BEEN PARKED AFTER TOWING A 29 FOOT LONG TRAVEL TRAILER. IT HAD SAT FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS SINCE WE LAST USED IT. DURING THE 2011 30 OCTOBER SNOW STORM IN PA, I WENT TO PICK IT UP TO USE IT. I STARTED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR. ALL OF THE ANTILOCK AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND BACK IT BACK THE DRIVEWAY AND PARK IT. WE LATER CALLED AAA AND HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND LET US KNOW THAT THEY HAD FOUND A BRAKE LINE THAT BURST DUE TO CORROSION. THIS BRAKE LINE IS ALMOST DIRECTLY UNDER THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY AND IS SOMEWHAT HIDDEN FROM VIEW. IT LIES ATOP THE FRAME IN THIS AREA AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER HAD CORRODED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THEY HAD TO FABRICATE A REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINE AND WERE ABLE TO REPLACE IT. THEY FURTHER INDICATED THEY LOOKED AT THE OTHER BRAKE LINES AND DID NOT SEE ANY FURTHER INDICATION OF CORROSION. I HAVE DRIVEN THE GMC FOR ABOUT TEN MILES SINCE THE REPAIR AND THE BRAKES APPEAR TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. LET ME ADD THIS, I HAVE OWNED 15 DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN MY LIFE AND NOT ONE HAS HAD TO HAVE A STEEL BRAKE LINE REPLACED. THIS IS THE FIRST. JUST LIKE THE OTHER GM OWNERS, WHEN THESE LINES FAIL THE BRAKING ABILITY TO STOP THIS TWO TON VEHICLE IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT I AM VERY THANKFUL THIS LINE DID NOT FAIL WHILE TOWING THE 29 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER. *KB

I CALLED 911 WHILE MY HUSBAND TOOK THE HOSE AND SPRAYED WATER ON THE FIRE, WHICH WAS IN THE DASHBOARD OF THE SUV. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES LATER AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT IT IS UNKNOWN WHY THE VEHICLE IGNITED AND WAS ON FIRE. I CONTACTED GMC VIA ONLINE CHAT, AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE 2004 YUKON DENALI. AFTER SOME PRELIMINARY SEARCHES ONLINE, I FOUND NUMEROUS CLAIMS OF THE SAME THING OCCURRING TO OTHER OWNERS OF YUKON AND TAHOE SUVS IN THE U.S.. *TR

BRAKE LINE ERODED AWAY ON A VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. NEARLY COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING OVER SPEED BUMP AND HAD ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING! MY PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE ONLY WAY II AVOIDED COLLISION WAS PUTTING THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND STOMPING ON THE PARKING BREAK. FOR A VEHICLE THAT NEW COSTS OVER 50000 DOLLARS TO FAIL AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE AND NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A DECADE OLD IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS VEHICLE RARELY SEEMS INCLEMENT WEATHER AND IS COVERED WITH A NEARLY 500 DOLLAR CALIFORNIA CAR COVER. *TR

REDUCED POWER INDICATOR ON INFORMATION CENTER COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN IT DOES, VEHICLES GOES INTO DEFAULT MODE & CAN GO MAX 30 MPH (VERY DANGEROUS, WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED).

Summary

WE HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON. SINCE WE'VE HAD IT, REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS BECOME A CONSTANT AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MOST RECENTLY, YESTERDAY, MY HUSBAND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE WITH HUGE TIRES ON THE BACK ONLY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND US, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT, SERIOUSLY INJURED, MAYBE EVEN DEAD WITH SOME OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAVE HAD ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY IS AUGUST 23, 2011. WE HAD THIS VEHICLE FIXED ON JULY 28, 2011, PAYING ALMOST $600 FOR IT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. IT SAYS ON THE TICKET THAT WE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH I BELIEVE INCLUDED THE APP SENSOR, AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY OF EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP. AFTER SPENDING $500-600, I WANT TO KNOW WHY WE ARE STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH SO MANY OTHERS I HAVE SEEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ONLINE? GMC HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2004 GMC YUKON XL1500.

THE PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY RANDOM, HOWEVER IT OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME NOW. THE PROBLEM PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN OTHER VEHICLES ARE AROUND, AS THE SUDDEN SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE, DUE TO THE ABS ENGAGEMENT, FOLLOWED BY A LURCH FORWARD AFTER THE ABS RELEASES COULD CAUSE VEHICLE COLLISIONS. *TR

THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE 2004 YUKON AND THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. MY QUESTION TO GMC IS, HOW MANY DEATHS DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SO. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK USED, AND THE WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID. MY SISTER OWNS A 2005 YUKON THAT SHE JUST PURCHASED (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) AND HER INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS JUST REPLACED LAST WEEK. *TR

Summary

MY 2004 GMC YUKON SPEEDOMETER (MANUAL NEEDLE-TYPE) JUST KEEPS INCREASING ITS SPEED READING UNTIL IT "PEGS-OUT" AT THE 130 MPH MARK. IF YOU TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTART THE ENGINE, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL JUMP-BACK ABOUT 5 MPH. SO IF ONE DOES THIS 25 TIMES, IT WILL ZERO ITSELF OUT. AFTER ONLY SHORT AMOUNTS OF DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL AGAIN START INCREASING ITS READY AGAIN. IT APPEARS TO INCREASE THE READING AS ONE INCREASES IN SPEED, BUT DOESN'T DECREASE THE SPEED AS ONE DECREASES THEIR SPEED. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR ACTUAL SPEED. FORTUNATELY MY GPS HAS SPEED READOUTS, BUT IT IS DELAYED BY ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 21000 MILES ON MY YUKON, SO THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN OR "WORN-OUT" THIS QUICKLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON DELAWARE ROUTE # 1 DOING THE SPEED LIMIT (65MPH) IN MY 2004 GMC YUKONXL WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER EVEN WITHIN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. AFTER ASSESSING THE SITUATION I REALIZE THAT MY MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING WITH THE DASH INDICATORS SHOWING THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE REDUCED POWER SIGNAL LIGHT ON. WHEN TRAFFIC HAD CLEARED I ATTEMPTED TO GO BACK ON THE HIGHWAY BUT FOUND I COULD ONLY TRAVEL BETWEEN 35-40 MILES PER HOUR. KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A GM DEALER AHEAD IN 15-20 MILES I CONTINUED ON RT #1 SINCE THE SPEED LIMIT AHEAD WAS REDUCED TO 55MPH. WHEN I REACHED THE GM DEALER I.G.BURTON IN MILFORD DELAWARE I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THAT I PROBABLY HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY (CARBURETOR) AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY SEEMED TO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM. I WENT AHEAD AND HAD THE WORK DONE AT THAT POINT FOR A COST OF $568.32. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER FAILED ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR THIS FOR MODEL YEAR 2003-2006, BUT ONLY UP TO 80,000.

NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. BY DRIVING TO SLOW, ONE CAN CAUSE OTHER DRIVERS TO ERRATICALLY PASS AND ZOOM BY YOU OR DRIVING TO FAST CAN CAUSE OTHER DRIVERS TO HURRIEDLY GET OUT OF YOUR WAY AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THIS IS MORE THAN LIKELY THE CAUSE OF A SPEEDING TICKET I GOT BACK IN MAY 2009. IT POSSIBLY WAS ACTING UP, BUT DIDN'T COMPLETELY FAIL UNTIL JULY 2009. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2004 GMC YUKON IN MARCH OF 2008, PREVIOUSLY IT HAD BEEN A FLEET VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN COLORADO, AND DROVE IT TO WASHINGTON STATE. SHORTLY AFTER WE ARRIVED, THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT GETS STUCK AT ETHER 25 RPMS, OR 75 RPMS. THE SPEEDOMETER READS ACCURATELY, AND ONLY RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN STICKING. I HAD GOTTEN A NOTICE THAT THESE PARTS HAD BEEN "RECALLED" BUT ONLY FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, FOR VEHICLES OVER 7,000 MILES ON IT. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 6,500 MILES. WHEN I CALLED A GMC OFFICE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

Summary

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE ON 2004 YUKON XL. WORKS FINE UNTIL SUDDEN FAILURE. SOME SPORADIC ATTEMPTS TO WORK AFTER BUT SPEEDOMETER CAN EASILY BE OFF BY 30-40 MPH. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE GM VEHICLES AND IS KNOWN BY GM. APPARENTLY THE STEPPER MOTORS MOVING THE NEEDLES ARE FAILING. THE SPEEDOMETER IS USUALLY FIRST (LIKE MINE) FOLLOWED BY THE OTHER GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS THEY ARE ALL DRIVEN BY SIMILAR STEPPER MOTORS. A REASONABLE EXPECTATION IS TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. A FAILURE HERE AND THERE IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT WHEN YOU HAVE FAILURES AT THIS FREQUENCY GOING ON IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT WAS UNDER DESIGNED. GM OFFERING TO STAND BEHIND ONLY IF IT FAILS UNDER 70K...MOST FAIL SHORTLY THEREAFTER. *TR

Summary

2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI SYSTEM STABILIZATION DISABLED WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES IN THE CAR COMPUTER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT STILL NO ERROR CODES. ONSTAR RUNS DIAGNOSTICS AND REPORTS NO ERRORS AND TELLS ME TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. THIS FIRST OCCURRED IN DECEMBER WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, NOW SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND IT STILL IS COMING ON. I AM WORKING WITH GMC CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT TO DATE THEY ARE SAYING THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES. I HAVE ASKED THEM IF THE TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT THEY CANNOT ASSURE ME THAT IT IS. THEY REFUSE TO DOCUMENT ANYTHING IN WRITING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE TRUCK. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS NOR INJURIES, BUT I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THE STABILIZATION SYSTEM WAS MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND IT MUST BE OPERATIONAL. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE TO INSURE THE TRUCK IS SAFE? WHY CAN'T THEY REPLACE COMPUTER MODULES UNTIL THERE IS A RESOLUTION? THE TRUCK DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST 35 MONTHS I OWNED IT, DRIVING THE SAME EXACT ROADS THAT THE WARNING FLASHES ON NOW. *TR

Summary

AT 71,200 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY YUKON XL WENT OUT. I CALLED THE LOCAL GMC DEALER REGARDING ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED THAT IF I HAD SERVICED MY VEHICLE WITH THEM THEY COULD HAVE POSSIBLY MADE AN EXCEPTION. I WAS GIVEN THE 1800# TO CALL. AFTER CALLING THE 1800#, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE MATTER. IN TWO WEEKS I WAS NOTIFIED THAT GMC WOULD BE UNABLE TO HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY HELPED ME ENOUGH WITH THE SHAFT THAT HAD BEEN LUBRICATED SEVERAL TIMES AT NO COST TO ME. I REMINDED THEM THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT HAD TAKEN TIME FROM ME TAKING MY VEHICLE EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS TO GET OILED. LAST WEEK I TOOK MY YUKON TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND ASK THAT THEY OIL THE SHAFT AGAIN. I WAS INFORMED THEY NO LONGER DO THIS BECAUSE THEY CAME UP WITH THE PART TO REPLACE IT LAST YEAR 2007. BUT BECAUSE I'M OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE UNLESS I PAY. YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN I TOOK IT IN IN NOVEMBER 2007 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND GET THAT SHAFT LUBRICATED. THAT WAS ANOTHER GMC DEALER. *TR

Summary

FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK. ONCE I HIT 60MPH, IT GETS STUCK THERE. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR IT STAYS AT 60 SO IT ACTS AS IF IT'S AT 0MPH. AT THAT POINT IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING 100MPH WHEN IN REALITY I'M GOING 40MPH UNTIL IT GETS STUCK PAST 120MPH. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTS SLOWLY DROPPING. IT'S AMAZING THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AFTER MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS. I WILL MAKE SURE TO GIVE NEGATIVE REPORTS TO ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY A GM VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO POTENTIAL USED GM OWNERS. *TR

WHILE AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP GETTING MY OIL CHANGED, I ASKED AN ATTENDANT IF HE WAS GETTING MANY SPEEDOMETER REPAIRS FOR MY MAKE/MODEL. HE STATED THAT HE HAS REPLACED MANY AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY "STEP MOTOR"?? I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND HE STATED "HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH ANY PROBLEMS." HE STATED HE WOULD FIX MY SPEEDOMETER FOR APPROXIMATELY $400. THE SERVICE TECH STATED THE MOTOR COSTS $10. I HAVE READ A FEW THREADS ON THE TOPIC AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND NOT THE PROPER RESPONSE FROM THE MAKER. BASICALLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND A CAR COMPANY MAKING LOTS OF MONEY TO REPAIR IT. VEHICLE I OWN IS A 2004 YUKON DENALI. *TR

MY 2004 GMC DENALI HAS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAGE NOT SHOWING CORRECT READINGS. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 50,60,70 WHEN YOU ARE ONLY GOING 30. SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY I AM PASSING EVERYONE AND HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW FAST I AM GOING. I CAN BE GOING PRETTY FAST JUST SETTING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT SOMETIMES. AND I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE ANYMORE. THEY SENT OUT A LETTER THAT STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX THIS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. WELL MY VEHICLE HAS 108000 MILES ON IT, BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT TO TRAVEL IN AND WE DRIVE IT. THEY DON'T CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, SO NO RECALL. SINCE WHEN DOES DRIVING 90 MILES AN HOUR WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING 70 NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? OR PERHAPS RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND FREEZING TO DEATH. *TR

SINCE I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE CASH I DID NOT PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SOMETIME AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THE SAFETY BELT RECALL IN 8/2005 MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND MY GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO STICK. WHEN I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY CLUSTER AND THE PRICE IT COST I'VE MANAGED TO MAKE DUE AND NOT INCURRING ANY MORE SPEEDING TICKETS AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS. NOW THAT GM HAS TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT WHERE I AM ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO ME, GM IS STATING THAT I HAVE EXCEEDED THE 7 YEAR OR 70,000 MILE LIMITATION. I CURRENTLY HAVE 92,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, HOWEVER, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 31144 THAT WAS THERE WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED.

I WAS DRIVING TO DALLAS WITH MY FAMILY ON SAT. OCT 20, 2007 IN MY 2004 GMC YUKON (49600 MILES). WHILE MERGING ONTO INTO TRAFFIC, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING I WAS SPEEDING IN EXCESS OF 90 MPH, BUT IN FACT, I WAS BARELY KEEPING UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I PULLED OFF THE FREE WAY AND CAME TO A DEAD STOP AT A GAS STATION, AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE REFLECTED AT 30 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. I TURNED THE KEY ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, AND EACH TIME THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPPED BY 5 TO 10 MPH, EVENTUALLY RESETTING TO 0. I CONTINUED ON TO MY DESTINATION, AGAIN, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING THE SAME WAY INCREASING AND DECREASING IN JERKY MOVEMENT, BUT NEVER COMPLETELY GOING TO ZERO. I NEVER RESET THE SPEEDOMETER AGAIN TO ZERO, AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 120 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW FAST I AM ACTUALLY TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS STATING PROBLEMS EXACTLY LIKE, OR SIMILAR TO MINE REGARDING THE SPEEDOMETERS ON SIMILAR YEAR/MODEL GM TRUCKS.

Summary

LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND OTHER WEB SIGHTS SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER DO NOT READ CORRECTLY. LAST FRIDAY,I DROVE FROM WICHITA,KANSAS TO WICHITA FALLS,TEXAS AT 100 MPH AND 6000 RPMS ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUMENTS. LUCKILY I HAVE A GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM THAT ALSO GIVES MPH AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE SPEED WITH IT. I ALSO HAD ZERO OIL PRESSURE AT VARIOUS TIMES ACCORDING TO THE GAUGE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MUCH TOO COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC AND OTHER GM PRODUCTS OF THIS YEAR. I FEEL GM SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND NOT THE PUBLIC THAT HAS SPENT GOOD MONEY TO BUY THESE VEHICLES.*AK

THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD ALL OF THE SUDDEN JUST GO DOWN TO ZERO. ONCE YOU WOULD STOP CAR, TURN OFF AND THEN BACK ON, IT WOULD RESET.

I STOPPED, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO CONTINUE MY TRIP BY PACING MYSELF WITH OTHER CARS. YESTERDAY, IT SAID I WAS PEGGED OUT GOING OVER 120. IT WOULD NEVER GO BELOW 70. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY HAD TO SEND CLUSTER TO BE REPAIRED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SOUNDS LIKE A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I DON'T THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE STUCK PAYING FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO REPLACE. *JB

Summary

IN DECEMBER OF 2005, STARTING HEARING A LOUD RATTLE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF MY 2004 GMC YUKON WITH 26,099 MILES. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WROTE "LUBRICATED BODY MOUNT CUSHIONS". NOW IN FEBRUARY 2007 WITH 46222 MILES THE RATTLE IS BACK. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND WWW.TOPIX.NET GMC YUKON SUSPENSION RATTLE WITH COMPLAINTS FROM DOZENS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. GM HAS EVEN CREATED A LUBRICATION KIT FOR IT'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO USE, HOWEVER IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IS IN THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER LIED ABOUT THE SERVICE PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AND GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMNS REPLACED, BUT THE RATTLE CONTINUES. APPARENTLY THERE IS ACTUALLY THE LOWER STEERING COLUMN BEARING THAT NEEDS REPLACED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF THE STEERING BEARING WEARS OUT. DOES MY STEERING GO OUT? WILL I HAVE AN ACCIDENT? I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING A RECALL AND NOTHING. *JB

WHILE LEAVING FOR OUR CHRISTMAS TRIP, I NOTICED THAT IT SEEMED THAT TRAFFIC WAS TRAVELING A LOT FASTER THAN USUAL. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 76 MPH!! SINCE THEN, THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUES TO GET STUCK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! MY GMC YUKON IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 61000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ANYWHERE FROM $600-800 EST TO FIX THE PROBLEM PLUS RENTAL CAR FOR THE DAYS THAT THE WHOLE DASH OF MY CAR WAS SENT OUT TO BE RECONDITIONED. THE SERVICE TECH MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SOMETIMES IT TOOK MORE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT OTHER INSTRUMENTS COULD BE FAILING ON THE DASH. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS REPAIR PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET ON THE ISSUE AND NO OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM BY GM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!! I DRIVE CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND THEIR SAFETY SHOULD NOT BE COMPROMISED IN THIS MANNER. FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I SPENT ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE SHORT LENGTH OF TIME THAT I HAVE HAD IT, THERE SHOULD NOT BE SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY!! *JB

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON, IN 2005. OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY - WHEN IT IS HOT OR HUMID THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS TO JUMP A LITTLE THEN STARTS TO REGISTER A HIGHER SPEED THAN I AM MOVING. FOR EXAMPLE: I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY SPEEDOMETER READ 90 MPH. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND REPEATEDLY START UP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, THE SPEEDOMETER READING WOULD REDUCE BY APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AT A TIME, WHICH MEANS I HAD TO START UP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE 18 OR MORE TIMES FOR IT TO RETURN TO 0. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER REPAIR DEPARTMENT WHO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON - EVIDENTLY THIS IS QUITE THE COMMON THING WITH THESE TRUCKS AND OTHERS - AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED. PRICING AROUND $375 FOR THE PART AND ANOTHER $100 OR SO FOR INSTALLATION. I HAVE INVESTIGATED COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM, WITH GM VEHICLES, AND THERE ARE FAR TOO NUMEROUS OUT THERE FOR THIS TO BE A SINGLE INCIDENT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT. IN MY OPINION, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR WITH A RECALL. I CAN SEE WHERE IT WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE ALARM AS FAR AS A SAFETY CONCERN. FORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT YET, BUT DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT I ALSO SAW ON AN INTERNET WEBSITE FOR LAWYERS THAT THEY ARE GATHERING COMPLAINTS TOGETHER FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO REPORT THIS FOR INVESTIGATION FIRST. *JB

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2004 YUKON XL ON 10-19-04 AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLES AIR BAG SYSTEM EVER SINCE. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN ON AT LEAST 12 OCCASIONS, WITH REPEAT VISITS FOR SAME PROBLEM USUALLY THE SAME DAY. MY CAR HAS GIVEN OFF NUMEROUS CODES WHICH INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING: B0026, B0040, B0041, B0043, B2470, B0229, B3770. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO 3 SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS WHERE THEY HAVE REPLACED HARNESSES, WIRES, CONNECTORS ETC. NONE OF THIS SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. I HAVE FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS ALSO HAVE HAD NY HORN BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CALLED ONSTAR TO PERFORM DIAGNOSTICS ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAS NUMEROUS CODES COMING UP, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL CORRECTED, BECAUSE THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY ON ITS OWN OR IT MAY NOT DEPLOY IF MY CAR IS WRECKED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $40,000 TO BUY A NEW ONE. I HAVE EXPLAINED ALL OF THIS TO GMC'S ARBITRATION DEPARTMENT, BUT THEY HAVE SENT ME SEVERAL LETTERS STATING THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO BUY MY CAR BACK. MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE NOT REPLACEABLE, AND I WORRY EVERY TIME I GET IN THE VEHICLE THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, AND THIS IS HORRIBLE FEELING FOR A MOTHER, WHOSE JOB IS TO PROTECT HER CHILDREN. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TRY AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS, BUT ALL HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. IT IS NOT THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT, IT IS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE. I TRULY BELIEVE AS MY KIDS HAVE SAID THAT THIS VEHICLE IS TRULY POSSESSED, AND IN MY OPINION NOT FIXABLE. *NM

MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY DIED THREE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME WAS JULY 2004, THE SECOND TIME WAS EARLY OCT 2005 AND THE LAST TIME WAS JAN 19, 05. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES AT THREE VERY DIFFERENT ALTITUDES. WHEN THE CAR DIES I HAVE NO BRAKES, POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER A WHILE. THE FIRST TIME IT DIED, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING OFF A CLIFF ON A PASS. THE LAST TWO TIMES WERE ON BUSY INTERSTATES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO CANNOT FIX IT. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC DURING THIS ENTIRE PERIOD OF EPISODES, NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ARE VERY NICE BUT IT IS ONLY LIP SERVICE. I FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON A GMC SERVICE BULLETIN DOCUMENT ID#1530787. IT DESCRIBES MY PROBLEMS EXACTLY. IT PARROTS WHAT I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN. I LIKE MY CAR AND JUST WANT IT FIXED. I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF AND OR OTHERS IF I CANNOT CONTROL THE CAR WHEN IT DIES. I SAVED MY MONEY AND PAID CASH FOR THIS CAR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. AND, I CANNOT SELL THIS CAR AS I WOULD NEED TO DISCLOSE ITS DEFECT. SO, I AM IN NEED OF HELP TO GET IT REPAIRED. THANKS. *JB

THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON THEN THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER. THE CONSUMER CAN GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP BY APPLYING EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WHILE CONSUMER WAS STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT. LESS THAN 5 MINUTES LATER SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN. AFTERWARDS SHE WAS PULLING INTO A GAS STATION WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF THE SECOND TIME. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY.

Summary

THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS A HORRIBLE BUBBLING OR GARGLING SOUND EMMITING FROM MY 2004 YUKON EXHAUST. IT SOUNDS REALLY BAD, ENOUGH TO TURN PEOPLES HEADS WHILE I'M SITTING AT THE CONVENEIENCE STORE OR A DRIVE THRU. THE DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM STATES THAT THEY ALL MAKE THIS SOUND, BUT I'M NOT STUPID. I KNOW OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR MODEL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I JUST WANT IT FIXED. IF I'M WILLING TO PAY $44,000 FOR A VEHICLE I EXPECT IT TO LOOK AND SOUND GREAT OR AT LEAST LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A NEW ONE. PLEASE HELP! *AK

Summary

I HAVE THREE SEPARATE COMPLAINTS: 1) IN DECEMBER 2004 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THEN SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD CRASHING SOUND THAT CAME FROM UNDERNEATH OF THE HOOD OF MY YUKON. IT WAS APPARENT THAT SOMETHING CAME APART FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD BECAUSE WHEN I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND THEN PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY; THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE IN ANY OF THE FREEWAY LANES WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT I RAN OVER SOMETHING. WHATEVER CAME APART, YOU COULD HEAR IT BEING DRUG FROM THE FRONT, ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. IT TORE THE ENTIRE LEFT FENDER WELL APART, IT CUT A WHOLE INTO MY LEFT CUSTOM TIRE, AND IT CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE , ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. MY HUSBAND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO ENDURE THE COST TO HAVE THE LEFT REAR FENDER WELL THAT WAS DAMAGED FROM THIS INCIDENT. (2) IN MARCH 2005 MY YUKON'S DIGITAL READING KEPT STATING SERVICE AIR BAG. ALSO, IT DISPLAYED THE PICTURE OF A PERSON IN THE SEAT WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS FAIRLY NEW, THAT HAS ONLY 18,007 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, AND NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH DEFECTS THAT THE DEALER IS NOT WILLING REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME. (3) THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING GEARS VERY ROUGHLY, AND AT TIMES WHEN IT IS PLACED INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT JERKS VERY HARD, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN PROCEEDING TO DRIVE IT DRAGS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER. *AK

THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK LATER AND THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT BUT GMC HAS NOT RELEASED THE PARTS SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT EVEN IF THEY DID HEAR IT. WHEN I AM SITTING NEXT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, FOR EXAMPLE AT A LIGHT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS HITTING THEIR VEHICLE AND IS COMING FROM MINE.

WHEN MY 2004 GMC YUKON WARMS UP, A LOUD REPETITIVE CLANGING NOISE EMINATES FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS CAN BE HEARD WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUES FOR A PERIOD AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE YUKON WAS PURCHASED NEW ON 5/31/04 AND BEGAN MAKING THE NOISE WITHIN 500 MILES. GMC SAYS ENGINEERING HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE PROBLEM SINCE 11/03 AND IT INVOLVES METAL IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BEING DEFORMED BY THE HEAT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER YUKON OWNERS AND MADE A POINT TO LISTEN TO OTHER YUKONS ON THE ROAD AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANOTHER YUKON EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. GMC REFUSES TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IF THE METAL IS DEFORMED, HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT LEAKING FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT?

Summary

IN MY 2004 YUKON DENALI THE STEERING WHEEL PUMP WENT UP. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON MAY 8, 2004 AND TO MY DISCOVERY THE FAILURE OCCURED ON JUNE 26, 2004. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A LOUD HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRUCK. IT WAS NOTICEABLE WHEN I DEPRESSED THE GAS PETAL AND ALSO WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I CONTACTED ONSTAR TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE VEHICLE IN HOPES THEY COULD DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. ONSTAR WAS ABLE TO ASSESS MY TRUCK AND INFORMED ME THAT NOTHING WAS MALFUNCTIONED ELECTRICALLY WHICH INDICATED A MANUAL DYSFUNCTION. FOR A MATTER OF THIS MAGNITUDE TO HAVE GONE WRONG IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, LEADS ONE TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A LEMON OR DID NOT PERFORM A THOROUGH ASSESSMENT OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO SELLING IT TO ME. ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, JUNE 28, 2004, I DROVE MY TRUCK INTO THE SERVICE CENTER, ANDERSON AUTOMOTIVE OF HUNT VALLEY MARYLAND FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. TO BEGIN WITH, WHEN I RESEARCHED AND CHOOSE THE SUV OF MY LIKING, I WENT TO ANDERSON AUTOMOTIVE OF HUNT VALLEY AND TEST DROVE THE TRUCK I WANTED. THE STOCK NUMBER OF THE TEST DRIVEN VEHICLE WAS 4J269973. THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WOULD NOT BE SOLD TO ANYONE AND WAS ON HOLD FOR ME. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE STOCK NUMBER OF THE VEHICLE SOLD TO ME WAS 4J195367 (A CLEAR MISMATCH FROM THE ONE I TEST DROVE). MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS DEALER INTENTIONALLY SWITCHED AND SOLD TO ME A FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT HAS RAISED RED FLAGS IN MY TRUST WITH THIS DEALERSHIP AND THEIR CONSUMER PRACTICES. I AM SO DISTURBED BY THIS EXPERIENCE AND HOW THE CLEAR DECEPTIVENESS IN SWITCHED VEHICLES OCCURRED, THAT IF NECESSARY, MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO CONTACT THE DMVA (DEALER COMPLIANCE) AS WELL AS THE STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER.*AK

I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2004 GMC YUKON, 2WD. MILES ON IT WAS 188. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I DROVE IT HOME WHICH IS ABOUT 10-15 MILES AWAY. AS I GET CLOSE TO HOME, THE BELL IN THE CAR STARTS TO CHIME, THE ROOF LIGHTS TURN ON, AND ACROSS THE ODEMETER READER, IT READS "PASSENGER DOOR AJAR". I PARKED MY CAR AND HAD HIM SHUT THE DOOR AGAIN. AS I DROVE OFF, THE BELL CHIMES, THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON, AND IT STILL READS "PASSENGER DOOR AJAR". SO I GET OUT AND OPEN AND CLOSE ALL THE DOORS INCLUDING THE TRUNK. SAME PROBLEM. THIS GOES ON EVEN AFTER I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOLD THE SALES MANAGER THE PROBLEM. HE SAW IT FOR HIMSELF AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT TO THE MECHANICS. WENT TO THE MECHANICS AND THREE OF THEM SAW THE PROBLEM. ONE OF THEM RECOGNIZED IT AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A WIRE LOOSE ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. HE CALLED IT AN "AUSCHUWAITER" (SP?). HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE DOOR APART. THE MANGER CALLED IT A "SIMPLE SITUATION" AND THIS IS WHAT I REPLIED, "IT'S NOT "SIMPLE" WHAT IF I HAD DECIDED TO TAKE THAT DRIVE WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS. AND IN THE EXCITEMENT, WHILE I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, SHE UN-BUCKLES HER SEATBELT AND OPENS THE DOOR, FALLS OUT INTO THE FREEWAY, I PANIC AND LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE CAUSE THIS HUGE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WITH FATALITIES, MY DAUGHTER COUNTED." MANAGER TOLD ME, IT'S A BIG CAR WITH 100,000 PARTS. NOT ALL OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE PERFECT. 1/5000 WAS HIS ESTIMATE, PROBLEMATIC WISE. THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON A GMC, BUT I DID NOT SEE ANY COMPLAINTS FILED SO HERE'S MINE. IT'S JUST BEEN A DAY AFTER I GOT IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE'LL SEE HOW IT HANDLES NOW. HAD I KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM, I WOULDN'T HAVE SIGNED MY BLOOD FOR IT. THANKS.
