2000 GMC Yukon Electrical Problems

BROUGHT YUKON IN TO KOONS GMC IN MANASSAS, VIRGINIA IN 2012 FOR TWO RECALLS WHICH I WAS TOLD WERE BOTH DONE ALONG WITH GETTING AN ESTIMATE FOR $3300 FOR LARGELY AN INTAKE MANIFOLD. I HAVE CALLED GM CORP AND BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES OVER THAT PAST TWO YEARS AS MORE CARS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO RECALL LISTS THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE; NOW GM CORPORATE SAYS THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL (NECESSARY TO AVOID LOW SPEED CRASHES) WAS ACTUALLY NEVER PERFORMED AND GM CORPORATE CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH DEALERSHIPS IN THE DC AREA AND GM CORPORATE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS (EXCEEDING 10 TOTAL CALLS) SINCE THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS LEFT TO PERFORM ON THIS YUKON. PRESUMABLY THE HEADREST RECALL I BROUGHT IT INTO KOONS IN MANASSAS, VA AS A SECOND AFTERTHOUGHT TO THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL WAS THE ONLY THING THEY ENDED UP DOING OTHER THAN GIVING ME AN ESTIMATE FOR OVER $3300 FOR WORK THAT HAS NEVER NEEDED TO BE DONE. MY UNANSWERED QUESTION TO GM CORPORATE WAS "I'S THIS HOW YOUR GOING TO HANDLE THE IGNITION RECALLS?" ADDITIONALLY, GM CLAIMS TO BE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHETHER MY IGNITION SWITCH IS THE SAME IN DESIGN AS ANY OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. DO AMERICANS CITIZENS NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST THAT MUCH "PROPRIETARY"-PROTECTED INFORMATION FROM GM? GM CORPORATE'S SPECIALIST CLAIMED TO OBJECT TO MY MENTIONING THAT I, TOO, MIGHT RECORD THE CALL. KOONS ALSO NEVER NOTICED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BROKEN OUT THE ABS LIGHT BECAUSE PRIOR TO THE RECALL (WHICH SHOULD HAVE LATER TIPPED ME OFF THAT THEY DID NOT ACTUALLY CLEAN THE WHEEL SENSOR AND CHECK THE ABS LIGHT SINCE IT WAS NOT ON THE $3300 ESTIMATE OF NECESSARY REPAIRS), BECAUSE NOBODY REALLY KNEW THEN WHY THE ABS LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A RETALIATORY ACT. I MENTIONED TO KOONS SND GM CORPORATE BEFORE SERVICE THAT I WAS DISABLED. *TR

MY 2000 YUKON'S FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING OUR FAMILY ON HWY 94 EAST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE STATION WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE APPROX. 20 FAILED FUEL PUMP MODULES AND ASSURED ME THAT THEY WILL INSTALL THE UPGRADED PUMP THAT DOES NOT "BURN" WHEN THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH LOW FUEL LEVEL!!! I GOOGLED THE FAILURE AND CAME TO YOUR RECALL 05V155000 AND THE GM 05027 BUT GMC DOES NOT HONOR IT FOR MY VIN NUMBER??? WHAT IS SURPRISING IS THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE NEW PUMP FROM THE DEALER THEY HAD THE "UPGRADED" ACDELCO ONE ON THE SELF BUT OTHER THAN THAT I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM ACCORDING TO OUR VIN NUMBER!!! SO I THOUGHT THAT IF EVERY GMC OWNER REPORTS HERE MAYBE THEY WILL GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER THERE IN GM AND INSTALL SOMETHING OF A BETTER QUALITY FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THEIR $40K VEHICLES!!! A VERY UPSET BUT LOYAL GM OWNER. *TR

THE FIRST TIME MY ENGINE STALLED WAS BACK IN 2001 ON THE MIDDLE OF THE 101 FREEWAY IN LOS ANGELES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT HAD TO DO WITH A CHIP. THEY REPLACED THE CHIP AND I HAVEN'T HAD A STALLING PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE PARKING LOT AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY. I AM VERY UPSET THAT SOMETHING SO SERIOUS HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I HAVE THE HEATER OR AC ON AND IF I COME TO A STOP.*AK

MY 2000 GMC HAS HAD A STALLING ISSUE FROM THE DAY IT WAS DELIVERED. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THEY WILL REPLACE A COMPUTER CHIP BY SEPT. 30, AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM.. I WILL FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPURCHASED IF IT IS NOT FIXED BY SEPT. 30TH. THE DEALER ADMITS THAT THERE ARE "SEVERAL" OF THESE YUKONS AND PICKUPS" THAT HAVE THIS STALLING PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE NOT MAKING POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, PERHAPS THAT WOULD HURT "THEIR BOTTOM LINE"!! ALSO, THESE YUKONS ARE SOLD WITH FIRESTONE LE TIRES, BY REVIEWING THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND SOME OF THE OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, I SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL THAT HAD THE TIRES BLOW, MAYBE THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHECK ON THESE TIRES AS WELL AS THE ONES ALREADY RECALLED . *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
