2000 GMC Yukon Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED FAILURES RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5-10 MPH WHILE INITITATING A TURN, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

COMING TO A STOP AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR....MY VEHICLE THEN ROLLED INTO INTERSECTION CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND BRAKE LINE BURST. TO REMEDY SITUATION I REPLACED ALL BRAKE LINES. *TR

DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE AT SPEED LIMIT,TIRE TREAD SEPARATED, FLEW INTO WHEEL WELL. CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO WHEEL WELL, AND OFF COURSE TIRE DAMAGE. UNKNOWN PARTS REPAIRED/REPLACED...WILL TAKE CAR INTO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING. *JB

COMPLETE TREAD PEELED OFF. SENT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS OPERATED WITH "INSUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE"!!! V672WL10200 SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED!!! (NOTE: THE D.O.T. FIELD CUT OFF LAST NUMBER???) MR

THREE WINDOW IN MY YUKON HAVE NOW FAILED. THE FIRST WAS THREE YEARS AGO WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY ABOUT THREE YEARS OLD. TWO MORE HAVE NOW FAILED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS COMMON TO YUKON'S. *JB

WITHIN A 4 MONTH TIME I HAVE LOST MY DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW, FRONT-PASSENGER, AND REAR DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW ALL TO FAILED WINDOW REGULATOR OR MOTORS. MOREOVER, MORE RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THE RANDOM WINDOW BLOW-OUT IN MY CARGO AREA. NOT TO MENTION THE THROTTLE STICKING. THIS IS UNREAL, WHAT A NIGHTMARE, CUTE TO DRIVE HORRIBLE TO OWN!*AK

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2000 YUKON A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, AND WHILE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN NOT TWO MILES FROM OUR HOME, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME, AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER I AM INCREDIBLY WORRIED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, AND MY INFANT SON SITS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. NOT ONLY WOULD THE INCREDIBLY LOUD 'GUNSHOT' SOUND HAVE POSSIBLY DAMAGED HIS EARS, BUT THE SMOKY AFTERMATH THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE FOR BOTH CHILDREN'S LUNGS. AIRBAGS ARE AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE THAT IS UNPARALLELED WHEN THEY OPERATE CORRECTLY. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS FAULTY WIRING OR SENSORS IN THIS MODEL SUV FOR THE SIDE SEAT AIRBAG TO GO OFF NOT ONLY WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE REST OF THE VEHICLES AIRBAG SENSORS, BECAUSE I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SPONTANEOUSLY GO OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, HOWEVER IT WAS A SUNDAY AND WE WERE TOLD NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO HELP US. A VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, THE 21ST, AND MY HUSBAND RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE INSPECTOR LATER THAT NIGHT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INCIDENT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE INSPECTOR THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING A CALL FROM GMC WITH THE DETAILS AND OUTCOME OF THE INSPECTION. IT IS NOW THURSDAY THE 23RD, AND EVEN AFTER TWO PHONE CALLS I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. I HAVE NOW BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR TWELVE DAYS, AND STILL CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TRANSPORTING MY CHILDREN. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT GMC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REMEDYING THE PROBLEM AND ASSURING ME THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNDER ANY PREMATURE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 31 MPH ON A GRAVEL ROAD IN DRY CONDITIONS THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT STRUCK A TREE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT PASSENGER HAD TO BE EXTRACTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD COLLAPSED INTO THE FRONT SEAT ALONG WITH THE FIREWALL. THERE WERE 3 INJURIES, AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. A GM REPRESENTATIVE RETRIEVED THE BLACK DETECTION BOX, VERIFIED THE SPEED OF 31 MPH, AND DETERMINED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. GM PURCHASED THE SALVAGED VEHICLE FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND DESTROYED IT. *AK

GMC YUKON 2000 THIRD FUEL PUMP SINCE PURCHASED CAR NEW. GM REFUSE TO RECALL MINE. WHAT CAN WE DO? *TR

FUEL CUT OFF TO ENGINE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

THE SECOND ROW SEATING IN MY SUV IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE OPTION TO LAY DOWN OR SIT UP LIKE NORMAL. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT OF THE LARGE SECTION TO LAY THE SEAT FLAT. *TR

THE SECOND ROW SEATING IN MY SUV IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE OPTION TO LAY DOWN OR SIT UP LIKE NORMAL. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT OF THE LARGE SECTION TO LAY THE SEAT FLAT, THE CABLE BROKE AS IF IT HAD BEEN READY TO SNAP FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE SMALLER SIDE HASN'T SNAPPED YET BUT I AM SURE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

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

REAR SEAT BELTS IN 2000 GMC YUKONS FAIL TO RETRACT, PROVIDING NO SAFETY FOR CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEAT WHEN SEATED IN CHILD RESTRAINT SEATS THAT ARE NOT SEMI-PERMANENTLY MOUNTED IN THE REAR WITH THE SEAT BELT THREADED THROUGH THEM. CHILD SEATS THAT USE THE SEAT BELT AS THE PRIMARY RESTRAINING DEVICE ARE USELESS WHEN THE BELTS DO NOT TIGHTEN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO GMC AND THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED AND/OR REPLACED THE SEAT BELT ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. THE DEALER'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO NOT PULL THE BELT OUT ALL THE WAY BECAUSE IT MAY NOT RETRACT - SOMETIMES HARD TO ENFORCE WITH CHILDREN. THE SOLUTION IS FAIRLY SIMPLE - THE AFFECTED VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE A REDESIGNED SEAT BELT MECHANISM PROVIDED TO VEHICLE OWNERS, EITHER BY RECALL OR ON REQUEST. *AK

PASSENGER AND BOTH REAR SEAT POWER WINDOWS QUITE WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A DANGER IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON 2000 YUKONS. THROTTLE PEDAL STICKS AND YOU HAVE TO USE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO UNSTICK IT. THIS CAUSES YOU TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AS YOU START OFF OR ARE IN A BUSY PARKING LOT. COULD CAUSE INJURY TO PEDESTERIAN OR SMALL CHILD. I HAVE ALSO SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM FILED ON 2000 YUKONS. PASSENGER SEAT BELT TIGHTENS AS YOU RIDE TO THE POINT OF CAUSING PAIN, YOU MUST DISENGAGE SEAT BELT AND RENGAGE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. THIS IS ALSO IS A DANGER AS YOU COULD BE UNBELTED WHEN AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. I ALSO HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN SERVICE BULLENTINS ON THESE PROBLEMS, BUT GM REFUSES TO PAY THE REPAIR COST ON OUR VEHICLE. THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS SINCE THESE VEHICLES WERE IN WARRANTY. I PURCHASED A 1996 YUKON NEW AND HAD IT UNTIL TRADING FOR THIS 2000 YUKON, I NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT. THEIR QUALITY ASSURANCE HAS SURE GONE DOWN HILL SINCE 1996.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 GMC YUKON (NON-XL). I WAS TURNING AROUND IN A PARKING LOT AND HEARD A CRUNCH IN THE FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT AND CONTINUED ONTO THE STREET, THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. I HAD TO STRONG ARM IT HOME. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THE 2000 GMC YUKON XL HAD IN FACT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SYMPTOMS THAT MY VEHICLE HAD (NON XL). I CALLED GMC THE NEXT DAY AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I ASKED THEM IF THE SAME RECALLED POWER STEERING PARTS ARE USED FOR THE STANDARD AND THE XL YUKON. THE GMC REPRESENTATIVE WOULD NOT SAY YES OR NO, JUST NOT NECESSARILY IS ALL HE WOULD SAY. I TOLD THEM REGARDLESS THAT THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THE STANDARD YUKON DUE TO THE FACT THAT OURS DID THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE YUKON XL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AND THAT THIS WAS A LIFE OR DEATH TYPE FAILURE IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES (IE; DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED). GMC REQUESTED THAT I TAKE MY YUKON TO THE DEALER AND FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAD BROKE. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY (MORE SORE ARMS) AND LEFT IT FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THE DAMAGE THAT HAD BEEN DONE. THE DEALER GOT BACK TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP, SHAFT, ACTUATOR, AS WELL AS THE MOUNTING BRACKET HAD FAILED. THE DEALER HAD TALKED TO THE LOCAL GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD HELP WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THEY HOWEVER TOLD US THAT THEY WERE NOT BUYING THE PART OR THE LABOR BUT THEY WOULD OFFER $200 TOWARD THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND WE WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE BALANCE $350 FOR A TOTAL OF $550 TO REPAIR. I AM ALSO CURIOUS IF GMC WILL BE REPLACING MY BROKEN PARTS WITH THE EXACT SAME PARTS THAT ARE DESTINED TO BREAK AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD EXPECT UPGRADED PARTS, BUT MAYBE THEY JUST WANT OUR BUSINESS AGAIN A YEAR OR TWO WHEN IT BREAKS AGAIN, THAT IS, IF WE LIVE THROUGH IT NEXT TIME. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED OVER. DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE HYDRAULIC PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT NO WARNING WAS GIVEN PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS 1 OF 198 THAT ARE BEING RECALLED. NO RECALL WAS FOUND. *TC

MY 2000 YUKON HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE STALLING DURING BRAKING AND TURNS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2001 WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. THE PROBLEM IS NOW SEVERE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MORE TIMES THAN YOU AND I HAVE FINGERS AND TOES. I CANNOT TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NOR CAN I FIND A MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP (HA HA ) THAT CAN FIND OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE INTAKE MOTOR OR THE INTAKE GASKET NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT DIAGNOSTICS CANNOT BACK THESE THEORIES UP. TODAY I NEARLY HIT A TELEPHONE POLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIED AND LOST POWER STEERING WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN. *AK

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION REACTS AS IF IN NEUTRAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT DROPS INTO GEAR. SINCE NO "CODES" SHOW UP WHEN THE CAR IS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR THE DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER IS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS A ROADWAY, MOVER OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, ETC. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED. DT

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS ALL THE TIME AS DOES THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CRUISE CABLES. WITHIN 10 MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE THE PROBLEM RECURRED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL ABNORMALLY TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY . THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 157,500. UPDATED 02/24/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALLS WERE NEVER DONE. THE RECALLS WERE FALSELY REPORTED AS BEING COMPLETE. THE FRONT BEARING ASSEMBLIES HAD TO BE REPLACED, AT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. UPDATED 02/25/14

MY PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT HOLD MY VEHICLE ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST GRADE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL PER GMC EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. MY ENGINE HAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I START IT UP IN THE MORNING. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL PER GMC. MY FRONT PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT BACK MOVES FORWARD AND BACK (WOBBLES). MY REAR END WHEEL BEARING WERE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A LOUD HUM. THAT WAS MISDIAGNOSED TWICE BY ALFRED MATHEWS. MY FRONT END FEELS LOOSE AND SQUEAKS WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING. REAR LEATHER BUCKET SEATS RATTLE ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING AND THE LEATHER HAS RIPPED @ SEAMS TWICE. ALFRED MATHEWS REPLACED ONCE AND TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO FIX SEAT RATTLE. MY NEWEST COMPLAINT IS A NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOORS. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****761455

VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED WITH HEADS THAT WOULD CRACK OVER TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT FOR OVER A YEAR AND CAUSED MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE A RECALL/COMPENSATION FROM GM. *JS

HYDRAULIC LIFTERS MAKING NOISE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, REAR CARGO DOOR OPENS. DEALERSHIP STATED GAP AT THE TOP OF THE DOORS WAS NOT CAUSING THE PROBLEM; GAP WAS JUST AN ADJUSTMENT. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. ONCE PROBLEM DUPLICATED, PARTS ORDERED INCORRECTLY. AUTO OUT OF STATE FOR 4 MONTHS. RETURNED IN APRIL 2001 AND LATCH REPLACED. AT THIS TIME THE DOORS RATTLED/CHATTERED. BECAUSE OF OTHER ISSUES AND DEALERSHIP FAILURE TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS, GMC CO REP CONTACTED AND ALL ITEMS WERE COMPLETED EXCEPT THE ISSUE RATTLE/CHATTER. CO REP STATED NEW WEATHER STRIPPING. 6 MONTHS OF ADJUSTING, WEATHER STRIPPING AND WAITING ON PARTS THE GAP IS STILL APPARENT AND CAUSING THE RATTLE CHATTER. 11/30/2001 DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE RATTLE/CHATTER IS TO PULL IN ON THE PASSENGER CARGO DOOR AND PUSH OUT ON THE DRIVER CARGO DOOR. INDEPENDENT EXPLAINED THAT UNTIL YOU KNOW WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DOORS, HINGES OR BODY OF THE VEHICLE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADJUST THE DOORS TO STOP RATTLING/CHATTERING. BECAUSE OF TIME RESTRAINTS AND NO RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP, PROPOSAL OF EITHER TRADING ME OUT TO A NEW VEHICLE (PAYING $8,150.07 DIFFERENCE) OR BUYING BACK CAR FOR $28,500. NO RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP. 01/03/2002 GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED CO REP SAID NO BUY BACK OF VEHICLE AND THE ONLY THING THE DEALERSHIP WOULD DO IS TO CONTINUE ADJUSTING THE DOORS TO LATCH TIGHTER. I QUESTIONED WHY THAT WOULD BE DONE AND NO ANSWER GIVEN. THIS CAR HAS A MARKETABILITY ISSUE. NO ONE WILL WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOTHING BUT RATTLE/CHATTER DOWN THE ROAD.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILUMINATES, INDICATING A MALFUNCTION WITHIN SYSTEM . ALSO, WHEN VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN IT LOSES POWER AND STALLS, CAUSE UNKNOWN/ PASSENGER'S ARM REST FELL OFF. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED FROM MEI AUTO BROKERS 407 834 6244 ON 11/06/01 TOOK VEHICLE TO COURTESY GMC 407 767 2070 ON 11/08/01 SPOKE WITH DAVE JUNKINS EXT 1236 . DAVE TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVESHAFT WAS UNBALANCED AND THAT CAUSED THE SHAKING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH. HE ALSO STATED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND THAT IT WAS LIKE THAT(UNBALANCED W/ SHAKING ) SINCE MANUFACTURED I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS DRIVESHAFT SHAKING AND VIBRATING SINCE NEW HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO EITHER THE TRANSMISSION OR DIFFERENTIAL AND SUBSEQUENT FAILURE IS IMMINENT. TO THIS DATE 11/20/01 I AM STILL AWAITING WORD FROM DAVE AT COURTESY ON WHEN A NEW PART WILL ARRIVE AND REPAIRS WILL BE PREFORMED.

DEALER REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. SAID WRONG SPACER PUT IN AT MANUFACTURE PROCESS. OPTIONAL 4.10 REAR.

RIGHT FRONT RUNNING LIGHT ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON DOES NOT LIGHT. I SEE THE SAME PROBLEM ON MANY GMC AND CHEVROLET TRUCKS AND SUVS. THE PROBLEM MAY APPEAR IN A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE VEHICLES. WHEN I REMOVE THE HOUSING FOR THE LIGHT IT USUALLY HOLDS WATER FROM RAIN OR CAR WASHES. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE HOUSING WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WAS POKED WITH A SCREWDRIVER. A NEW BULB WILL ONLY LAST FOR 100 MILES OR SO, THEN IT WILL SHORT OUT. *TR
