SEAT BELTS
I OWN A 2002 CHEVY TAHOE, AND I'M IN CHARGE OF SERVICING THREE, 2002 AND 2003 GMC YUKONS FOR MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. THE MIDDLE ROW SEATS IN ALL OF THESE HAVE SEATBELT ISSUES. THESE ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX OR REPLACE AND ALL FOUR VEHICLES THAT I DEAL WITH HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF THE SHOULDER BELTS IN THAT MIDDLE ROW SEAT THAT EITHER WONT COME OUT OR WON'T RETRACT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AFTER DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE TODAY. YESTERDAY, I REALIZED THAT TO STOP, I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE MY BRAKES HAD BEEN WORKING JUST FINE. TODAY I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM AND REPORTED IT TO MY BOYFRIEND, WHO CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION AT THE BRAKE LINES AND UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT, BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT RAPIDLY AND WAS PUDDLING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. HAD I NOT STOPPED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT, I CAN NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE NO LONGER WORKING. I HAVE A 2002 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN ON MY 2003 GMC YUKON XL. PLEASE SEE THIS VIDEO FOR A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0YG6WLBNZGI THIS DEFECTIVE PART (MANIFOLD BOLTS) AFFECTS NUMEROUS GMC/CHEVY VEHICLES WITH V8 ENGINES. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A PRODUCT RECALL. I WAS INFORMED OF THIS CONDITION WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE OF A NON-RELATED ISSUE. I WAS QUOTED OVER $500 TO DRILL OUT THESE BOLTS AND REPLACE THEM. THE DEALER MENTIONED NOT REPLACING THESE COULD LEAD TO EMISSIONS LEAKS AND THE POSSIBLE NEED TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD ITSELF. THIS PROBLEM CAN ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AS AN EXHAUST LEAK CAN TRIGGER A TEMPERATURE SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE LOCATED NEAR THE MANIFOLD BOLT. UPDATED IVOQ 09/01/10 *TR
