DT:CONSUMER STATES: VEHICLE LOST POWER GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, VEHICLE LOST BRAKES, LIGHTS, GAS. CAN'T DO ANYTHING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER REPLACED FUEL PUMP. NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS WARM OUTSIDE.*AK

MY VEHICLE IS BEING TAMPERED WITH, INTENTIONALLY REPAIRS IMPROPERLY PREFORMED STEERING WHEELS ENGINE NORTHSTAR ALL. AFFECTED.

WHILE MAKING A TIGHT LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY. THE YUKON ONLY HAD 72000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALER, GMC DENIED WARRANTY SERVICE DUE TO MILEAGE. I COMPLAINED THAT A POWER STEERING PUMP SHOULD NEVER FAIL IN SUCH A CATASTROPHIC WAY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE NEW POWER STEERING PUMP WAS OF A DIFFERENT DESIGN SO WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANOTHER FAILURE. HE SAID IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THIS FAILURE TO HAPPEN. THE SHAFT BROKE INSIDE THE PUMP. THE PULLEY WAS STILL INTACT. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING, SHE WOULD HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME CONTROLLING THE CAR. *JB

MICHELIN LTX M/S 2 P265/70/16R DATED 2412 & 2512; TIRES HAVE TREAD SEPARATION, CRACKING BETWEEN TREADS AND NOT HOLDING AIR. THESE ARE THE SAME TIRES THEY HAVE RECALLED BUT NOT THE SAME SIZE, HAVE SAME DEFECT; I HAVE CONTACTED MICHELIN AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THESE TIRES EVEN THOUGH THEY ONLY HAVE 25,000 MILES ON THEM AND ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK AND SHOULD BE EVALUATED. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2004 AND NOW AGAIN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM 2006. *JB

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE DRIVE UNLESS PLACED INTO REVERSE. WHEN STUCK IN DRIVE, PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATING WILL CAUSE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY, UNTIL THEIR IS A LOUD VIOLENT SOUND FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AR WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE WILL ENGAGE DRIVE AND PROCEED IN A SLUGGISH FASHION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER WHO HAD INVESTIGATED AND FIXED THE PROBLEM SINCE NOVEMBER 2005 AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS TODAY (2-7-2006). THE PROBLEM PRESENTED ITSELF AFTER THE DEALERSHIP FLUSHED AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AT APPROXIMATELY 53000 MILES (THE SERVICE DEPT RECOMMENDED THE SERVICE). THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN FAULTY EVER SINCE. THE VEHICLE IS 2002 GMC YUKON, 2 WD.*JB

Front passenger seatbelt has always locked up after being put on, which does not allow the passenger the ability to move more than a couple of inches at best.

(1) SECURING CHILD IN REAR MIDDLE SEAT (2) BELT WOULD NOT MAINTAIN TENSION, SLIPPING (3) CAR TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT/REPAIR. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THERE WAS A BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

CONSUMER COMPLAINT REGARDING 2002 GMC NOT BEING INCLUDED IN RECALL.

THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THEREFORE THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT. THE SAME DAY THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THEY REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT UNITIZED BEARING AND FRONT WHEEL DRIVE HUB ASSEMBLY. *NM

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THEN I CAME TO MY STOP WHEN I NOTICE MY CAR WAS TRYING TO START AGAIN WHILE IT WAS IN PARK AND I NOTICE THAT MY CAR THEN STARTED SMOKING WHILE TRYING TO START ON IT OWN AFTER THAT HAPPEN MY CAR HAS NEVER STARTED AGAIN PLEASE HELP

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH VEHICLE LOST POWER. WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WITHOUT WARNING WE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND IT CAUSED OUR VEHICLE TO LOSE TOTAL SPEED CONTROL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE HAD UNSTEADY STEERING CONTROL, VEHICLE WANDERED BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE ROAD. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *AK

MY VEHICLE IS BEING TAMPERED WITH, INTENTIONALLY REPAIRS IMPROPERLY PREFORMED STEERING WHEELS ENGINE NORTHSTAR ALL. AFFECTED.

TREAD SEPARATED FROM COOPER TIRE DISCOVERY H/T AND THEN BLEW OUT AS THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO AUTO ACCIDENT, BUT THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERED.

WHEN THE CARGO DOOR WAS OPENED GLASS DETACHED FROM IT AND CAME OFF. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF IMPROPER INSTALLATION AT TIME OF THE GLASS BEING MANUFACTURED, PER DEALERSHIP. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS NO OPEN DOOR SIGNAL TO INFORM THE CONSUMER THAT THERE DOOR IS OPEN WHILE DRIVING. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

CONSUMER REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR OF EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF BRAKING SYSTEM, FRONT AND REAR ON GMC 2002 YUKON. *TS ***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** THE A/C COMPRESSOR WAS NOISY ON STARTUP. SOP COMPRESSOR HAD INTERNAL PISTON FAILURE IN COMPRESSOR. . THE SUNROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THE DEALER HAD TO INSTALL A NEW SUNROOF FRAME. *NM

REAR SIDE MIRROR ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE HAIRLINE CRACKS. THEY WERE REPLACED AND NOW THEY ARE BACK. THE HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE MIRROR DISTORTS VIEWS AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THE MIRRORS ARE TOO THIN TO HANDLE THE DEFROST OPTIONS ON THE MIRRORS. THEY SEEN TO FAIL ON THEIR OWN. *NM

I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OF THE GMC YUKON POSSES A GREAT RISK OF COSTLY REPAIRS AND THE POSSIBLITY OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER BECAUSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE RADIO WENT OUT. I ASSUMED THAT MAYBE A FUSE HAD WENT OUT. BUT WHEN ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO REPLACE THE BLOWN FUSE, THOSE FUSES BLEW ALSO. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT A SHORTING OF THE WIRING OCCURRED BECAUSE SODA WAS SPILLED IN THE REAR CUP HOLDER. THIS CAUSED THE RADIO, SPEEDOMETER, HEAT, ETC... TO GO OUT ON THE FRONT DASH PANEL IN ADDITION TO MAKING SOMETHINGS COME ON WHEN THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. BECAUSE OF THE SPILLAGE CLAIM FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THIS I WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. MY PROBLEM IS THIS, IF A LEAKAGE FROM A CUP-HOLDER CAN CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE, SHOULD THOSE WIRES BE SO EASILY EXPOSED? SHOULDN'T THERE BE SOME TYPE OF SAFETY MECHINISM IN PLACE TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING. THIS VEHICLE IS PROMOTED AS A FAMILY CAR, BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE SAFE FOR A FAMILY. IF THE WIRES ARE SO CLOSE TO THE SURFACE UNPROTECTED THAT SODA COULD GO INTO IT FROM A CUP HOLDER, WHAT ABOUT A LITTLE CHILD HAND. I HAVE A TWENTY MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN A CAR SEAT IN THE REAR, SHE OFTEN DRINKS FROM A SIP-IT-CUP WHILE BACK THERE. SIP-IT-CUP RARELY LEAK, SO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT AN AMOUNT GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS MUCH DAMAGE COULD OCCUR? SOME SORT OF SAFETY MECHANISM NEEDS TO BE INSTALL TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH THESE WIRES. THESE WIRES CAUSE QUITE A BIT OF SYSTEMS TO FAIL ON THE VEHICLE. WHAT'S NEXT ? I HATE TO IMAGINE THAT IF THIS OCCURS AGAIN THAT MAYBE IT WON'T BE THE RADIO THAT GOES OUT MAYBE IT WILL BE A FIRE THAT STARTS OR MAYBE THE ENTIRE CAR MIGHT EXPLODE. A SAFETY RECALL IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER.

THERE IS NO LATCH SYSTEM INSIDE OF VEHICLE FOR INFANT TO SEAT. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THE FOG RUNNING LIGHT ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE HAS BEEN OUT SINCE 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF OUR VEHICLE. IRONICALLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SAME LIGHT IS OUT ON A GREAT NUMBER OF THE TAHOE'S & YUKON'S THAT I SEE ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY FLAW ON THIS MODEL YET IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE BULB BUT THE LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. *JB

2002 GMC YUKON DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BECOME INOPERATIVE.*MR *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN AT 15 MPH, THE REAR DRIVELINE DIFFERENTIAL BROKE FOLLOWED BY A BANGING NOISE AS THOUGH IT WAS DRAGGING. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. WHILE THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVELINE DIFFERENTIAL UNIT COMPLETELY SEPARATED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIRS. UPDATED 05/04/06.

DT: 2002 GMC YUKON. THE CONSUMER HAD TO HAVE ABS SENSORS REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT DID NOT EFFECT THE CONSUMER'S STATE, WHICH WAS WISCONSIN. THIS COULD BE REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP FOR THE AMOUNT OF $924. THE CONSUMER PAID TO HAVE SENSORS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN THE RECALLED VEHICLES . MECHANIC TESTED THE SENSORS AND STATED THIS WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE.*AK THE FRONT HUB AND BEARING WERE CORRODED ALONG WITH THE SENSORS. THE LEFT REAR AXLE WAS WORN WHICH CAUSED A FLUID LEAK. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A MONTH AGO THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE AIR CONDITIONER CAME ON FULL BLAST. THE FAILURE HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT INSTEAD OF THE AIR CONDITIONER IT WAS THE HEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY CORRODED WIRES UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT HAD THE WIRES REPLACED AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH THE HEAT VOLUNTARILY COMING ON. THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 184000.
