WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS FLICKER THIS INCLUDES EVERY LIGHT OUTSIDE BEAMS INSIDE DASH EVERYWHERE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S IN MOTION OR NOT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE FLICKERING IS A DISTRACTION TO OTHER DRIVERS INCLUDING YOURSELF. WHEN FOCUSING ON ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY START FLICKERING AND IT DISTRACTS EVERYONE DRAMATICALLY. I ALMOST WRECKED TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS AND HAVE TOLD MY DEALER SHIP "TRINITY AUTOMOTIVE" AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX IT. *TR

MY 2007 GMC YUKON XL; SELF COMBUSTED WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE DROVE IT ON AN ERRAND, RETURNED TO OUR HOME, PARKED AND LOCKED THE VEHICLE. WITHIN 20 MINUTES OR SO, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, OFF, KEY WAS OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNATTENDED. LUCKILY, THE HORN BLEW WHICH ALERTED US TO THE FIRE. OTHERWISE, ADDITIONAL PROPERTY LOSS OR INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED. WE HAVE A SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO EVIDENCE (FROM OUR NEIGHBORS SECURITY SYSTEM) OF THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. WHILE I AM UNCERTAIN AS TO THE EXACT CAUSE; STATE FARM INVESTIGATED THE VEHICLE AND IS GIVING A SETTLEMENT CHECK FOR THE ESTIMATED VALUE. THE TRUCK WAS EQUIPPED WITH A "WASHER FLUID HEATER" AND THERE WERE TWO RECALLS BY GM BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF FIRE.

MY WIFE'S 2007 YUKON XL HAD A MESSAGE THAT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS OFF AND A REDUCTION IN POWER MESSAGE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR DURING RUSH HOUR. WHEN THIS MESSAGE CAME ON THE YUKON CAME TO A VERY DANGEROUS REDUCTION IN SPEED AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING REARENDED BY THE VEHICLES BEHIND HER. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE MESSAGE RESET BUT CAME BACK ON SOON AFTER SHE GOT BACK UP TO SPEED AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND CHECKED ALL GROUND STRAPS REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAVE CHECKED THE HARNESS. THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED AND SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE TO START REPLACING PARTS ON THE VEHICLE JUST TO HAVE IT DO THE SAME THING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS ON LINE WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE GM PRODUCTS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR PRODUCTS THAT ARE INVOLVED AND REPAIR THEM.- *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING IS CONTROLLED BY THE AUTO "LIGHT SENSOR". WHEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN, THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS ARE UNREADABLE ESPECIALLY IF THE DRIVER IS WEARING SUNGLASSES TO SHADE THE EYES. I TRIED TO ASK THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT MAKING A SERVICE CHANGE THAT WOULD HAVE THESE INSTRUMENTS ALWAYS LIGHTED. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE COMPLAINT BUT HAVE NO PLANS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. *TR
