1999 GMC Yukon Problems

VEHICLE HAS ONLY 21,650 M ON IT, USED MOSTLY ON WEEKENDS AND IN THE SNOW IN WINTER. IT WAS DOING FINE UNTIL 9/18/16 WHEN SUDDENLY I NOTICED MY BRAKE WAS NOT RESPONDING AS USUAL. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR REPEATEDLY TO STOP, BARELY MISSED HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ON ONE OF MY CITY STREETS GETTING BACK HOME AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING. DROVE HOME SLOWLY AND VERY CAREFULLY. HAD IT TOWED TO A NEARBY GM DEALER. HE SAYS MOST OF THE BRAKE LINES AND SOME HOSES HAVE RUSTED, NEED TO BE REPLACED. THAT WOULD BE 15-16 HOURS LABOR AND WILL COST ME $ 2000.00. IT SNOWS HERE QUITE A BIT AND AFTER THE SEASON, I ALWAYS WASH MY VEHICLES WITH EMPHASIS ON THE UNDERSIDE TO REMOVE THE SALT AND CHEMICALS. BESIDES, ON THIS VEHICLE I HAD TO REPAINT THE HOOD TWICE, ROOF ONCE AND REPLACE THE REAR BUMPER SO FAR- ALL DUE TO RUST. NOW MY FRONT BUMPER IS SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST. WHAT'S THE MATTER - WITH ALL THIS EXCESSIVE RUSTING ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE MY OTHER SUV PARKED RIGHT BESIDE THIS AT HOME AND USE IT IN THE WINTER TIME. IT IS MUCH OLDER THAN YUKON AND THERE IS NO RUST PROBLEM AT ALL WITH IT. LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE METAL USED IN THIS VEHICLE OR LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL. GM DID A BAD JOB WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEY SAY THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET COMPENSATED BY GM FOR ALL THIS HARDSHIP. DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN FUTURE. HAVE TO GET THE BRAKE JOB DONE RIGHT AWAY BUT VERY PRICEY FOR MY BUDGET. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLES FRONT END WOULD RATTLE AND SHAKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD TRAVEL TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

HAD TO STOP IN A HURRY ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT THE BRAKES, I BELIEVE THE ABS LOCKED UP AND I FISHTAILED FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT AND BACK TO THE LEFT AGAIN. ENGINE SHUTOFF AUTOMATICALLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS NEARLY CAUSED A MULTI CAR COLLISION WITH A POSSIBLE BRIDGE FLY AWAY AS WE WERE ON A BRIDGE AT THE TIME. LUCKILY THROUGH DEFENSIVE DRIVING WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND KEEP IT FROM HITTING ANYTHING OR ANYONE, HOWEVER NOW WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT THERE IS A SQUEAK AT EVERY ROTATION WHEN GOING SLOW. ALSO THE VEHICLE SLOWLY HESITATES COMING TO A STOP AND ABS WILL SOMETIMES START ENGAGING CAUSING NEAR COLLISIONS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 GMC YUKON. ON APRIL 20, 2009, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH. THERE HAD BEEN NO PRIOR FAILURES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY OF 2009. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE ALIGNMENT ISSUES THAT CAUSED THE TIRES TO EXPLODE, TIE ROD FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, AND THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYS THE INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 5/27/09 *CN THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS, LOWER BALL JOINTS, IDLER ARM, STEERING GEAR, RACK AND PINION WERE ALL REPLACED. UPDATED 06/02/09.*JB

I PURCHASED A SET OF BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TIRES FOR MY 1999 GMC YUKON. THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT AFTER I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 12 MILES SINCE THE NEW TIRE WAS INSTALLED AT THE DISCOUNT TIRE DEALERSHIP IN BURIEN WASHINGTON. THE TIRE WAS A C LOAD RATED TIRE, SIZE 265 16 R75. THE ENTIRE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BLEW OUT AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE SIDEWALL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BLOW OUT WITH THIS CHARACTERISTIC. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS EVENT AND IT OCCURRED ON A BAND NEW TIRE. THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THERE ARE LIKELY OTHER TIRES WITH THIS SAME DEFECT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 GMC YUKON. THE VEHICLE HAS COOPER DISCOVERER H/T TIRES, SIZE 275/70R/16 (NA). THE CONTACT OBSERVED A SLOW LEAKAGE IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON SEVEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE CONTACT PURCHASED A TOTAL OF 11 REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

SAME THING AS ALREADY LISTED. MY RADIO, WIPERS AND WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY COME ON BUT IF YOU TRY TO USE THE WIPERS OR ROLL DOWN A WINDOW IT SHUTS ALL 3 DOWN. FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH RMPS REVVED UP, AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO A FAILURE IN THE BALL VALVE. ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND THIS PART HAS BEEN UP GRADED IN LATER MODEL YEARS TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

CONSUMER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, REARENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. VEHICLE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE FILL IN ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE IN DRIVING RAIN RESULTING IN EXTREMELY LOW VISABILITY. VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD, IGNITION WAS SHUT OFF AND STARTED AGAIN IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET WIPERS TO WORK. WIPERS STILL FAILED TO OPERATE. CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED UNTIL RAIN HAD CEASED. THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE ON MANY GM VEHICLES. WE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT IN AN S-10 TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, SO WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH PROBLEM.

WINDSHIELD WIPER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NUTS ARE WELDED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT AND THE WELD IS BROKEN. THEREFORE, THE SEAT MOVES AT WILL. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE; THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A BODY SHOP. UPDATED 2/13/2006 - THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. *NM

ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF SINCE LAST MONTH. NOW, ABS LIGHT IS STAYING ON. BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND THIS RESULTS IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AT ANY SPEED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DURING ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND PROBLEM IS GRADUAL WORSENING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. SERVICE RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE. IN ADDITION, KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED IN THE PAST. NOW THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM HATCH IN NOT WORKING AGAIN.*AK *SB

VEHICLE HAD A RUSTED REAR AXLE THAT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE RIMS AND TIRES WERE OVERSIZED TO MUFFLE THE SOUND, AND HIDE THE NOISE WHICH WOULD HAVE SENT OUT A SIGNAL THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH CONSUMER DROVE ACROSS A RAIL ROAD CROSSING. AFTER CROSSING THE TRACK CONSUMER FELT THAT VEHICLE NEEDED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FRAME WAS CRACKED ON PASSENGER'S SIDE NEAR THE UPPER CONTROL ARM. DEALER CONFIRMED THE LOCATION OF THE CRACK, BUT WOULD NOT ASSIST THE CONSUMER IN FIXING THE PROBLEM.*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A VIBRATION PROBLEM WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH OR MORE AND IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE PULLED TO THE LEFT, DEALER HAS TRIED MANY SOLUTIONS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, 3 SETS OF TIRES HAVE BEEN CHANGED (DIFFERENT BRANDS AND SIZES), STEERING KNUCKLES, DRIVE LINE BALANCE, AND ROTATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, POSSIBLY A SUSPENSION PROBLEM. *SLC

WHILE GETTING A NEW SET OF TIRES ON MY 1999 GMC YUKON, 58000 MILES, THE LUG NUTS ON THE RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT FRONT WHEELS WOULD NOT TIGHTEN. THE MECHANIC WAS USING A TORQUE WRENCH TO TIGHTEN THE LUGS. FOUR LUGS ON THE LEFT FRONT AND TWO LUGS ON THE RIGHT FRONT BEGAN TO STRESS AND TO KNECK DOWN. I INSTRUCTED THE MECHANIC TO CEASE AND TO REMOVE THE WHEELS FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS DEFINITE EVIDENCE OF KNECKING AND THE LUGS APPEARE TO BE VERY MALLEBLE. I HAD THE LUGS REPLACED WITH NEW LUGS, AND RETAINED THE LUGS THAT WERE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. I AM A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER AND IN MY MID 60'S. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE QUANTITY OF LUGS FROM ONE WHEEL BE SO SOFT. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE THE LAST WEEK OF JUNE, 2005. I BELIEVE THE TIRES THAT I REPLACED WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY WERE OFF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THE YUKON WAS MANUFACTURED IN WISCONSIN.

PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM DEALER AND STEERING WAS NEVER FIXED. THEN PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY ,AND IT WAS NEVER HONORED! I EXIT THE WARRANTY ,AND WAS NOT SEND MONEY BACK. THE COMPANY MADE EXCUSES, AND DIDN'T RESPOND AFTER REPEATED REQUEST AND LETTERS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING FUEL SMELL WAS COMING THROUGH AIR CONDITIONER VENTS. DEALER HAD INSPECTED VEHICLE THREE TIMES, BUT AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING. *AK

DRIVER SIDE ELECTRIC SEAT HEATER OVERHEATED CAUSING A BURN TO THE SEAT COVER (NOT TO MENTION MY BACKSIDE). PH

REAR PASSENGER SEATBELT WHICH BOLTS TO FLOOR FRAME CAME OFF, WOULD NOT PROTECT AN OCCUPANT IN EVENT OF A CRASH. ALSO CENTER REAR SEAT ADJUSTER BROKE IN PIECES WHICH DID NOT HOLD THE CSS IN PLACE WHICH IN EVENT OF A CRASH. CSS WOULD NOT BE PROPERLY INSTALLED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

VEHICLE WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD TO APPLY BRAKES (ABS) QUICKLY, WHICH FAILED TO WORK. VEHICLE THEN DOVE INTO CONCRETE COVER. UPON IMPACT, THE DUAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE SEAT BELT JERKED HARD ON DRIVER, CAUSING BRUISES. GMC FILE NUMBER 99-153-17801. *AK

BASICALLY CONSUMER WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL, PEDAL STUCK AND RUINED ROTORS. ALSO, AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT THREE TIMES DUE TO A HOLE INSIDE OF VENT AREA. *AK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO FAULTY HARNESS. TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AT IDLE. BUTTON ON LEFT FRONT SEAT RATTLES. RIGHT FRONT OUTER BRAKE PAD WAS WORN. VEHICLE PULLS LEFT WHEN APPLYING BRAKE. *YH

VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, CAUSING THE FLOORBOARDS TO BUCKLE AND FORCING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DOWN. THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF AND HIT A POLE. DEALER HAS VEHICLE NOW. *AK

AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SNOW FURRY I THE SNOW PACKED UP ON THE HIGH-BEAM HEAD LAMPS THAT WERE NOT IN USE IN THE HEAVY PART OF THE SNOW STORM. THESE LAMP'S COLLECTED THE WET SNOW AND IT PACKED OVER THE LAMP SO MUCH SO WHEN THEY WERE ACTIVATED "NO LIGHT' OF WHICH, WOULD BE OF USE, ON WET ROADS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAME ON THE HIGH-BEAM WAS OF NO USE AT ALL !!! THE PROBLEM; WHEN YOU ACTIVATE THE HIGH-BEAM THE HEADLAMP PROGRAM IS FOR THE "L0W-BEAM' TO GO OUT **** THIS LEAVES YOU THE DRIVER WITH-OUT ANY HEAD-LIGHTS AT ALL AND IN THIS CASE I MEAN NO LIGHT AT ALL . I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 ON A 2 LANE ROAD IN NEVADA, IN A SLOW LEFTHAND CURVE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THANKFULLY I NOW THE ROAD VERY WILL AND I DRIVE CLASS A TRUCKS FOR A LIVING FOR THE PASSED 18 YEARS SO " I' DIDN'T FREEZE-UP WHEN THIS HAPPENED. SOMETIME SOON IF NOT CORRECTED (GMC CAN DO A SIMPLE WIRE RE-CONFIGUREATION AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM TOMARROW ) SOMONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED OR INJURED. I HAVE 1.75 "MILLION MILES' OF SAFE DRIVING UNDER MY BELT AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER FELT SO STRONG ON A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WRITTEN ANYONE. I WROTE GMC AND THE LETTER I GOT BACK DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL THEY WILL ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AT ALL. PER VEH THIS IS SUCH A LOW COST CORRECTION. BUT IF LEFT UN-CORRECTED THE COST CAN BE SO HIGH, NOT JUST IN MONEY BUT IN LIVES. THANK YOU FRANK B. RUSTAD CC ABC, NBC, CBS, L. A. TIMES, SALT LAKE TRIBUINE, SAN FRANCISCO-CRONICLE, .
