TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE VEHICLE WENT "IDLE" AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
1995 YUKON FUEL AND BRAKE LINES WERE DIAGNOSED AS HAVING POTENTIAL RUST. *TS A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THE BRAKE LINES NEAR THE MASTER CYLINDER RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. THE FUEL LINES ON TOP OF THE SENDING UNIT ALSO RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. *NM THE BRAKES LOCKED UNEXPECTEDLY AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT REAR LOWER BRAKE ANCHOR WAS SHEARING OFF THE BACKING PLATE, GOING TO ONE SIDE, CONSEQUENTLY ALLOWING THE BRAKE SHOES TO ENGAGE WITHOUT BRAKE PRESSURE. UPDATED 03/09/06. *JB *NM
BRAKES LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY AT LOW SPEEDS. OFTEN WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE, AND ALWAYS WITHOUT WARNING. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. SEVERAL MECHANICS (INCLUDING GMC) HAVE TRIED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. EACH HAD AN EXPENSIVE SOLUTION, NONE OF WHICH HAS WORKED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH IS DESTINED TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE (SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR) ON YOUR WEBSITE. *JB
FUEL LINES RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE SENDING UNIT AND FIRST SECTION OF FUEL LINES ARE ONE PIECE, SO THE SENDING UNIT ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE BEACH, NOR HAS IT BEEN IN A FLOOD. FUEL LINES AND SENDER REPLACED A HIGH COST. *JB
BRAKE LINES NEAR THE MASTER CYLINDER RUSTED TO THE POINT OF COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. LUCKILY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND WAS ABLE TO RECOVER USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE BEACH, NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN IN A FLOOD. BRAKE LINES REPLACED AT HIGH COST. *JB
DT: THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES PULSATED AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CONSUMER COULD FEEL IT IN THE PEDAL AND COULD SLIGHTLY HEAR IT KICK IN. IT DID THIS ON DRY ROADS NHTSA RECALL 05V279000 WAS ISSUED IN AUGUST 2005. BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. WENT TO THE DEALER AND BASICALLY SAID THE RECALL WOULD NOT GO INTO AFFECT UNTIL NOVEMBER 2005. STARTED NOTICING THIS AROUND JULY 15, 2005, AND IT DID THIS OCCASIONALLY.*AK *JB
NHTSA CAMPAIGN 03V159000; GMC ISSUED A WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN ALTHOUGH IT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. *AK
FAILURE OF DRIVER SEAT MOUNTING ON THE WINDOW SIDE. *MR THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THE MOUNTING HOLES, ONE ON EACH CORNER OF THE SEAT, WERE RETROFITTED ON THE WINDOW-SIDE (FRONT & REAR) BY SPOT WELDING A THREADED WASHER ABOUT THREE INCHES TO THE RIGHT OF THE CORNER HOLES TO FACILITATE MOUNTING OF THE SEAT TO THE RAIL ON THE FLOORBOARD. THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN CAUSED METAL FATIGUE SURROUNDING THE SPOT-WELDED WASHERS, RESULTING IN THE SEAT BREAKING LOOSE. *SC *JB
CONSUMER ADJUSTED THE POWER MIRROR, AND THE SWITCH CAUGHT ON FIRE INSIDE THE DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE. *AK
THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON VARIOUS AREAS OF MY YUKON. THIS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BARELY FIVE YEARS OLD AND GETS WORSE AND WORSE. I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE THE MANY GMC'S ON THE ROAD THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING. NOT A VERY APPEALING REPRESENTATION OF THESE VEHICLES WHEN CHUNKS OF PAINT ARE MISSING. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RESOLUTION TO THE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PAINT JOB?
ADJUSTED POWER MIRRORS AND THE ELECTRICAL WIRING SHORTED OUT AND CAUSED A FIRE WHICH DESTROYED THE DOOR, THE DASH, AND PART OF THE SEAT. IF MY WIFE HADN'T GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED, IF NOT KILLED*AK
EXPERIENCING A RATHER HIGH PITCHED RUBBING NOISE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN BACKING UP.*AK
HEADLIGHT FAILURE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING MY 1995 GMC YUKON, TWO TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. HAVE TRIED TO GET INFORMATION FROM GMC ON HOW TO HAVE MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP FIX THE PROBLEM. GMC RESPONSE WAS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL FIGURE IT OUT. HOW LONG COULD THAT TAKE AT MY EXPENSE? ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET THE 1995-96 YUKON'S WERE SUBJECT TO THIS PROBLEM. THEREFORE GMC SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THEIR DEALER HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANK YOU.*JB

JUST HAD DIESEL FUEL INJECTION PUMP NUMBER 4 INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. LAST ONE RAN JUST OVER 25,000 MILES. THIS PUMP FAILS WITHOUT WARNING AND UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES IT CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. GM ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRENTY FOR THESE PUMPS. IVE EXPERIENCED FAILURE WITH THEIR LATEST PUMP AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.. THE ENGINE WILL FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER AND ANY SPEED, INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF THIS DOESNT WARRANT A SAFETY INVESTIGATION I DONT KNOW WHAT DOES.JUST HAD DIESEL FUEL INJECTION PUMP NUMBER 4 INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. LAST ONE RAN JUST OVER 25,000 MILES.

AT STARTUP OR DURING TRAVEL, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT WILL EITHER NOT ILLUMINATE OR GO OUT. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER HAS DIFFICULTY DISTINGUISHING WHICH GEAR THE CAR IS IN.DURING THE EVENING HOURS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM IS AN INTERMITTENT. ALL SO I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TACH AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES DO NOT WORK EITHER WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOT WORKING.
DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE WHERE SEAT WAS BOLTED TO PEDESTAL. *AK CONSUMER STATES WHEN GETTING INTO VEHICLE SEAT BROKE, SHEET METAL FRAME THAT FOAM AND SPRINGS ARE ATTACHED TO, NEXT TO THE MOUNTING BOLT THAT HOLDS SEAT TO PEDESTAL ON THE LEFT FRONT OF SEAT. *JB

SEAT FRAME IS BROKE AND IS ABOUT TO RESULT IN TOTAL FALURE TO THE MOUNTING . RESULTS IN A POPPING NOISE AT THIS TIME. *AK
ENGINE EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS OF STARTING HARD WHEN HOT OR STALLING WITH NO WARNING. THE SES LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CODES 17, 18, 35 & 36 WERE STORED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THIS AND TRUCK WAS AT DEALER FOR 3 APPOINTMENTS BUT DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. THESE CODES ALMOST ALWAYS INDICATE A FAILING FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND CALLS TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS LINE ASKING WHY NOTHING WAS BEING DONE TO CHANGE THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE. A CASE NUMBER WAS ASSIGNED. ALL VISITS TO THE DEALER WERE DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. A TRIP FOLLOWING THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEARLY RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION ON AND INTERSTATE AS THE TRUCK STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I PURCHASED A NEW GM FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF AND RESOLVED THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY. GM HAS SINCE REINSTATED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL TRUCKS INCLUDING MINE. I AM SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR A REFUND FOR MY LOSSES.*AK
