Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE POWER IN THE DASH IS GONE SO YOU CAN'T SEE THE SPEED THE TEMP GAGE OR THE OIL PRESSURE GAGE.

I WENT TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A RUSTED BRAKE LINE HAD BURST. I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT SAFELY BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY. I TAKE CARE OF MY TRUCK AND IS SERVICED REGULARLY BY THE DEALER.

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

WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD NO PRESSURE WHATSOEVER. SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITH MINIMAL BRAKES. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, BRAKE FLUID POURED FROM MID-FRAME DRIVER'S SIDE. CONSIDERED VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE UNTIL BRAKE LINES CAN BE REPLACED. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM COMMUNITY FORD IN INDIANA. I GOT UP UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE FRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND CRACKED AT THE FACTORY INSTALLED FRAME HITCH MOUNT POINTS. AS IF THE TONGUE WEIGHT TO A TRAILER WAS OVER THE RATED LIMIT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS ON FORUMS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN 2500HD TRUCKS OF THIS YEAR AND 2005.I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MY REAR CROSSMEMBER IS SEVERELY CORRODED ALONG WITH OTHER PARTS OF THE FRAME. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
