SERVICE BRAKES
I STARTED MY TRUCK. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. I BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD, THEN APPLIED MY BRAKES PRIOR TO EXITING MY DRIVEWAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE BRAKE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED FORWARD. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP. I PULLED THE TRUCK OVER AND OBSERVED BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE STREET. I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED AND THAT IT BURST SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS COMPLETED IN 2006, ACCORDING TO GMC THEY ONLY CLEANED THE PARTS AND DID NOT REPLACE THEM. AS A RESULT THERE IS SEVERE CORROSION ON THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SENSOR CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT 35 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I COULD NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN VERY MUCH AND WENT THROUGH A VERY YELLOW LIGHT. FORTUNATELY THE CAR WAITING AT THE LIGHT HAD NOT ENTERED THE INTERSECTION. THE A BRAKE LINE ROUTED ABOVE THE FRAME BLEW APART LOSING BRAKE FLUID EVERY TIME I PUMPED THE BRAKES. NO PRESSURE TO OPERATE THE REAR BRAKES. THE BREAK OCCURRED AT A RUSTED LOCATION. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE BRAND NEW. THREE OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FROM THREE DIFFERENT DOORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. FIRST THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR, THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND FINALLY AND RECENTLY THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. WITH THE FRONT DOORS, THEY DIDN'T ALWAYS OPEN OR LOCK WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL OR USING THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS CAUSING SAFETY AND SECURITY PROBLEMS. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS THE SAME WHERE OUR YOUNGER DAUGHTER SITS AND DIDN'T ALWAYS LOCK OR UNLOCK CAUSING OBVIOUS SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS. THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE IT LOCKS WAS TO MANUALLY LOCKMOR UNLOCK THE DOORS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAVE REPLACED THREE OF FOUR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS IN THE FOUR YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. NEVER BEFORE HAVE I OWNED A VEHICLE WITH SUCH AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED BEYOND THE WARRANTY WHEN IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. MY LAST REPAIR BILL WAS OVER $160.00. I BELIEVE THE OTHERS OCCURRED DURING THE WARRANTY SO THOSE WERE COVERED. I AM ANTICIPATING THE LAST DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WILL FAIL SOME DAY, SO,FAR IT IS WORKING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING/ BRAKING NORMALLY, BRAKE PEDAL SUNK DOWN TO FLOOR. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING SLOW AND NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND BECAUSE STOPPING AT 30 MPH TOOK A VERY LONG SPACE. I FOUND OUT THAT 1 BRAKE LINE ROTTED THROUGH TILL IT LEAKED AND 3 OTHERS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. GMC DOES NOT MAKE REPLACEMENT LINES THEY NEED TO BE CUSTOM MADE. *TR

STEERING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MY SPARE TIRE WAS MISSING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SEAR AUTO CENTER THAT HAS BEEN SERVICING IT. WHEN THEY LOOKED UNDER THE CAR THEY SAID THAT IT WAS COMMON FOR THE YUKON SPARE TIRE CABLE TO RUST AND SNAP OFF. SO I LOST THE SPARE TIRE, SPARE WHEEL, AND CABLE SYSTEM TO HOLD THE SPARE UNDER THE VEHICLE. NOT SURE WHERE OR WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT SERVICE. HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS A NUMBER OF TIMES (AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT), AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE A/C UNIT REPAIRED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD THE WRONG CONTROL HEAD. ALSO, WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP I MOMENTARILY LOSE POWER STEERING. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING AND RECALLED AND THAT WAS FIXED BY GM. THE BRAKE LIGHTS SOMETIMES OVER HEAT AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE SADDLES ON THEM. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW THEY GO OUT BUT I HAVE PEOPLE HONKING AT ME THAT I HAVE NO LIGHTS IN THE REAR. NOW WITH MY WARRANTY OUT AND HAVE 86.000 MILES ON IT THE FUEL PUMP IS OUT ON THE VEHICLE AT A 700 DOLLAR COST. THE DOOR KNOB FELL OFF, I HAVE OIL PRESSURE ISSUES ALL OF THE TIME. LAST NOVEMBER THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TO PICK IT UP OFF OF THE INTERSTATE WHICH SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT. BRAKE ISSUES. WHEN YOU SPEND 48,000 DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE IT MAKES YOU SAD THAT GM DOES NOTHING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS. MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT HELP THEM ANYMORE. TODAY THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE IT TO GM AND PAY 200 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSIS. JUST MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKET. I WANT TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR ADVISE. THIS CAR IS DEFINITELY A DISAPPOINTMENT ND LEMON. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I NOTICED WET SPOTS ON THE ROAD UNDER THE TRUCK NEAR THE LEFT REAR WHEEL AFTER STOPPING. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE CORRODED IN MOST PLACES. THERE IS CURRENTLY A LEAK IN THE FEED LINE RUNNING TO THE BACK BRAKES AT A POINT NEAR THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE LINES LOOK AS IF THEY COULD FAIL IN MOST PLACES. CURRENTLY THE TRUCK IS NOTS DRIVABLE UNTIL THE BRAKE LINES ARE REPLACED. WE HAVE HAD OTHER NUMEROUS BRAKE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES, STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
BRAKE HOSE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT DEVELOPED PINHOLE LEAK DUE TO HEAVY RUST. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE BLEEDER SCREWS RUSTED SOLID- CAN'T BLEED LINES AFTER REPAIRS. IT APPEARS THAT INFERIOR QUALITY METAL BRAKE LINES WERE USED THAT RUST EASILY. THIS IS A VERY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND GM NEEDS TO HELD ACCOUNTABLE, AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AS VERY SERIOUS CRASHES MAY OCCUR. *TR
