TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I HAVE A 2001 GMC YUKON AND IT CAME WITH FIRESTONE STEELTEX AT TIRES LT 245/75R 16. THE TIRE'S DOT # IS VN11 BAC 4700. I WAS GOING SOUTH ON HWY 101 AND THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIBRATE. BEFORE, I COULD PULL OVER THE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE CORE AND WAS FLYING ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. THE CORE STILL HELD AIR AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITH OUT ANY INCIDENTS. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 1 MILE TO THE NEXT EXIT WHERE I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE THE TIRE AND EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MINOR BODY DAMAGE WHERE THE TREAD HIT THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL WELL (DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT). I HAVE SENT THE CORE TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY SUSTAINED HIGH PRESSURE IN THE TIRE. I DISAGREE WITH THIS BECAUSE ALL 4 TIRES HAD EVEN TREADS WITH OUT ANY BALD AREAS IN THE MIDDLE AND THE TIRE PRESS WAS CHECKED RIGHT BEFORE MY TRIP. WHEN I REPLACED THE 4 TIRES, THE SALESMAN LOOK AT THE OTHER 3 AND HE SAID THAT THEY WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THEY STILL HAVE THE CORE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXAMINE IT. *NM

PARKING BRAKE
MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL 1500 SLT PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS 66000 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THE PARKING BRAKE FOOT LEVER GOES TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT HOLD AT ALL. THE PARKING BRAKE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO ME BY A CHEVY/GMC DEALER DURING MY LATEST STATE VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER SAYS HE NEVER USED THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAVE NEVER USED THE PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE IT IS NOT NEEDED IN OUR FLAT TERRAIN. ACCORDING TO REPAIR SHOPS AND THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MANY OS THESE VEHICLES. YOU MAY ALREADY BE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM, BUT I SHOW NO INFORMATION ON YOUR WEB SITE. I AM INFORMING YOU OF THIS TO PERHAPS PREVENT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GRATEFUL. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
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

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED IN NOVEMBER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, THE DEALERSHIP NOTICED THE REAR ROTORS WERE HITTING THE INSIDE OF THE BACKING PLATES INSIDE THE HUB. ALSO, THE ROTORS WERE RUSTED. THE FRONT END WAS ALSO OBSERVED TO BE SHAKING.

THE SHAKING RETURNED AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONTACT THE LUBE KIT WAS NO LONGER A REMEDY FOR THIS SHAKING PROBLEM. THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER REMEDY OFFERED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2003 YUKON XL (51,000 MILES) FLEX FUEL SENSOR IS ROTTING OFF THE VEHICLE. WAS TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED. IT IS SELF DESTRUCTING AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE FUEL LINES ENTER THE SENSOR. IF THE CORROSION CONTINUES IT WILL CAUSE FUEL TO SPRAY ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I AM AN ASE MASTER TECH. AND A VOCATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE INSTRUCTOR. I FEEL THIS COULD POSE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
MY 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI HAD JUST OVER 63,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE MAJORITY OF THE DRIVING HAS BEEN ON PAVED ROADS/HIGHWAYS. THE HUB ASSEMBLIES (BOTH SIDES) BEGAN MAKING A NOISE IN MARCH OF 2006. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CERTIFIED AUTO REPAIR FACILITY AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES WERE IN IMMEDIATE NEED OF REPLACEMENT AND THAT THERE WAS A DANGER IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE WORK DONE ON MARCH 22, 2006. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE FAILED PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED THE BBB WHO, IN TURN, REFERRED ME TO THE GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE. AFTER CONTACTING THESE PEOPLE THEY FILE A REPORT #1-408898915. THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT GMC WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME DUE TO THE FACTS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I HAD NOT USED A GMC DEALER FOR THE REPAIR WORK. THE REPAIRS WERE #613.59. THE DEALER WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME APPROXIMATELY $1,000 FOR THIS SAME WORK. THEY DID GIVE ME THE ADDRESS OF THE GMC DIVISIONAL OFFICE IN MICHIGAN AND SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I WILL DO THIS, BUT I HAVE NOT DONE THIS YET AS I DO NOT ANTICIPATE A POSITIVE RESULT FROM MY EFFORTS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE PARTS AND/OR VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY SINCE BOTH THE BRAKES AND THE TIRES OUT LASTED THE WHEEL ASSEMBLIES. THERE SHOULD BE AN "IMPLIED WARRANTY" THAT MAJOR COMPONENTS LIKE THESE HAVE A LIFE EXPECTANCY THAT EXCEEDS THE WRITTEN WARRANTY. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
2002 GMC YUKON XL FUEL PUMP FAILURE. ECMB FUSE WAS BLOWN WHICH RUNS THE FUEL PUMP. FUEL PRESSURE WAS FOUND AT 24 PSI. THIS ENGINE REQUIRES 55-62 PSI. CURRENT DRAW ON THE PUMP IS AT 9 AMPS. THIS IS WAY TOO HIGH. TRUCK WAS STARTED AFTER REPLACING FUSE, BUT RUNS BADLY AND STALLS OUT. TRUCK IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP FILLED OUT WRONG PAPERWORK AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THE CONTRACT WAS DENIED BECAUSE OF THIS ERROR. COST FOR REPLACING FUEL PUMP IS $950.00. TRUCK IS STILL NOT FIXED. JB
