SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
INTERIOR ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THEN A HUMMING NOISE HEARD UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE COMPARTMENT. GMC DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS FAILURE OF THE ABS ELECTRONIC MODULE UNIT. THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD BE $1130.00 + TAX TO REPLACE. THIS BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED AT 70,000 MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN TO THIS VEHICLE. THE OTHER TIME IT WAS UNDER A EXTENDED WARRANTY (09/2004). I HOPE THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN EVERY 3 YEARS. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY REPLACE THEM ALL THE TIME. I WAS TOLD IT WAS PLACED NEXT TO THE FRAME WHERE WATER COULD GET IN THE UNIT AND CAUSE DAMAGE...ENOUGH TO REPLACE. HOPEFULLY A RECALL CAMPAIGN WILL HAPPEN BEFORE I HAVE TO REPLACE THE NEXT ONE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TYPE OF BRAKE FAILURE.*CN

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:LOCK
RIGHT GLASS LIFT GATE HINGE FAILED AND BROKE AWAY FROM GLASS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. LIFT GATE WAS RENDERED INOPERABLE BUT STAYED SHUT. AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES THE ENTIRE LIFT GATE BROKE AWAY AND FELL ONTO THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. A REPLACEMENT LIFT GATE GLASS HAD TO BE PURCHASED FROM A JUNK YARD FOR $500. INSTALLATION WAS PERFORMED BY MYSELF. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER IS READING INCORRECTLY ON 2004 GMC YUKON. IT READS 60 MPH WHEN STOPPED AND OVER 120 MPH AT APPROX 60 MPH. MY ONLINE RESEARCH HAS UNCOVERED THOUSANDS OF THESE FAILURES AND SEVERAL POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE IN THE BEGINNING PROCESS. GMC, TO DATE, HAS ISSUED NO RECALL - THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE - WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD OR NOT - WHAT DO WE DO NEXT? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING MY YUKON XL 2000 WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON WEB AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A ODI NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V005000 THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY INDICATED THAT THE CAR VIN WAS NOT IN THE RANGE FOR THE RECALL. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GM TO GET IT FIXED THEY INDICATED THAT FAILURE WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE REPORT 05V005000. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND NOT MY WIFE. I HAD MY 13 MONTH SON IN THE CAR AND THIS FAILURE COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DID HURT MY NECK WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TRYING TO CONTROL AND STEER THE CAR. FOR THE SAKE OF OTHER FAMILIES DRIVING 2000 YUKONS THIS RECALL 05V005000 SHOULD BE BROADEN TO INCLUDE MORE YULON 2000 CARS THAT WERE PRODUCED IN THAT YEAR BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE GETS HURT. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
I HAVE A GMC YUKON AND THE WHEEL BEARINGS IN BOTH SIDES HAVE WENT OUT. I HEARD THAT THE H2 HUMMER HAS A RECALL ON ITS WHEEL BEARING. HOW COME THE YUKON DOESN'T? I HEARD OF OTHER YUKONS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS A CHEVY PROBLEM? MY WHEEL ALMOST CAME OFF OF MY VEHICLE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID THE ONLY THING THAT WAS KEEPING IT ON WAS THE BRAKE CALIPER. I SURE HOPE NOBODY GETS HURT OVER SAVING A COUPLE OF DOLLARS, PLEASE THERE NEEDS TO BE A WARNING AND POSSIBLY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
FUEL LEAK AT THE MAIN FUEL TANK ACCESS PORT. THIS VEHICLE HAS TWO FUEL TANKS, THE SMALLER AUXILIARY TANK(WHICH ARE OEM) HOLD ABOUT 8 GALLONS. UPON FILLING THE VEHICLE TO ITS CAPACITY, FUEL WOULD LEAK OUT UNTIL THE AUXILIARY TANK WAS EMPTY AND AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FILL COMPLETELY FULL ( 3/4 ON THE FUEL GAUGE) IT WOULD NOT LEAK FUEL. THIS PROBLEM EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE FUEL PUMPS TO GO BAD AND WHERE REPLACED AND THE LEAK FIXED. NOW ON NOVEMBER 29, 2007 AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING THE LEAK IS BACK AGAIN, UP UNTIL THIS POINT THE REPAIR ALOUD COMPLETE FILLING. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
IN SEPT. OF 2007, I NOTICED A SQUEAKING NOISE EACH TIME I OPENED THE BACK HATCH. WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE SOURCE, I OPENED THE BACK HATCH WINDOW AND THE HINGES THAT HELD THE GLASS TO THE BODY OF THE CAR WERE SEPARATING CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL AWAY ON A TILT. I CAN NO LONGER OPEN THE WINDOW FOR FEAR IT WILL COMPLETELY COME AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I CAN NO LONGER OPEN THE BACK HATCH AT ALL ANY LONGER. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN HIT OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY AND THE BACK WINDOW HAS RARELY BEEN USED IN THE 3 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE FOUND WEBSITES WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE HINGES. *TR

MY GMC YUKON 2500 WITH THE 8.1L STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS UNEXPLAINABLE AND UNREPEATABLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED PROBABLY 6 OR 7 TIMES AND IS A REAL DANGER AS YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I BELIEVE IT IS THE CAM POSITIONING SENSOR. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE TO HAVE FIXED BY MANUFACTURER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WAS FAILING AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKING PUMP CONTINUOUSLY RUNS. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED HIM THAT THE PAD-CIRCUIT BOARD WAS FAILING AND CAUSED THE PUMP TO RUN AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS COULD LEAD TO OVERHEAT AND A POSSIBLE FIRE. THE FAILURE OCCURS AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF, IT MADE A HIGH PITCHED MOTOR NOISE. HE SEARCHED AND DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK). THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN STATES AND HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000. UPDATED 11/06/07 *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY, INDICATING 80 MPH WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, STICKING WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. SOMETIMES IT INDICATES 20 MPH WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED OVER 1,000 POSTS FROM CHEVROLET AND GMC OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THERE IS AN EFFORT FROM OWNERS TO DEMAND A RECALL. I DIDN'T DISCOVER THIS UNTIL JUST AFTER I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED MY SPEED AS I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING A SAFE SPEED (I WAS UNDER THE POSTED LIMIT). A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I COLLIDED WITH IT. EVEN THOUGH THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT MY FAULT, THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER CAR WAS MORE THAN I EXPECTED THAN WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED AT MY INDICATED SPEED. I DIDN'T KNOW MY SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING BAD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
2006 GMC YUKON XL - PURCHASED IN JAN. 2006, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE 1 MONTH AFTER TAKING DELIVERY FOR FOUL SMELL EMITTING FROM VEHICLE WHILE MOVING. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PRODUCING THE ODOR, THEY CHANGED THE FLUID TO THE OLD SYNTHETIC TYPE, AND CLAIMED IT WAS THE SMELL OF THE GRAPE SEED EXTRACT USED IN THE ORGANIC NEW TYPE FLUID. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THE NEXT TIME THE SERVICE CENTER TRIED AN OIL WHICH HAD A HIGHER HEAT RATING, THIS DID NOT FIX THE SMELL PROBLEM. ON THE 4TH VISIT TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER OPENING A CUSTOMER CLAIMS CASE WITH GM, THEY REBUILT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THIS SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 6-8 MONTHS, THE SMELL RETURNED AND GOT SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE UNTIL I OPENED ANOTHER CASE WITHGM CUSTOMER CLAIMS. WHILE WORKING WITH THEM THE DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE LEAVING ME TO RENT A CAR ON MY OWN UNTIL GM DECIDED WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. I AM CURRENTLY IN A BBB CASE WITH GM.
