PARKING BRAKE
DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED TWICE. FIRST, IT HAPPENED IN OCTOBER 2002. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ,AND THEY REPLACED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BANDS ,AND TURNED THE DRUMS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNAWARE WHY IT WENT OUT THAT EARLY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2005, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM AGAIN. THEY SAID THERE WAS A CLIP IN THE BRAKES THAT MAY HAVE FALLEN OFF. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED GM, AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. *AK UPDATED 11/29/2005. *NM

PARKING BRAKE
NON-WORKING PARKING BRAKE. IF THE VEHICLE IS LEFT IN NEUTRAL (AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL) WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED THE VEHICLE CAN ROLL. SEE 05V161000. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DESIGN FLAW FROM THE MANUFACTURER THAT CAUSES THE PARKING BRAKE TO NOT FULLY DISENGAGE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING WEAR ON THE PARKING BRAKE COMPONENTS. THESE VEHICLES HAVE SEPARATE BRAKE SYSTEMS FOR NORMAL AND PARKING BRAKES. THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER WEAR OUT. APPLIES TO ALL 1999 - 2005 GM & GMC FULL SIZE PICKUPS AND FULL SIZE SUV VEHICLES. *JB

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
GMC 2002, YUKON: THE REACTION SUNSHELL BROKEN INSIDE OF TRANSMISSION. ONLY 64,000 MILES. 1) NO EVENT LEADING TO FAILURE: CALLED GMC PETERSON IN GURNEE ILLINOIS, GMC KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND IN FACT CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE SUNSHELL YET WILL NOT RECOVER MY COST. I NOW LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND GMC HERE IS DOING THE TRANSMISSION FIX. 2) FAILURE AND CONSEQUENCES: COULD BE EXTREMELY SERIOUS IF DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. LOSS OF POWER AND ACCELERATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. 3) CORRECT FAILURE: GMC IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE THAT I KNOW OF. CUSTOMERS ARE BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE. HOWEVER, AFTER TALKING WITH GURNEE PETERSON GMC ILLINOIS AND VALLEY GMC FROM WACONIA MINNESOTA, THIS REPAIR IS NOT UNCOMMON AND IS OCCURRING EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. I FEEL THIS WARRANTS A CORRECTIVE ACTION. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 YUKON XL WHICH HE HAD OWNED FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS WITH ABOUT 12,000 MILES ON IT. THE ROTORS HAD RUSTED AND PITTED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE DEALER SAID THEY MUST BE REPLACED. GM SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRAKES AND CALLED THIS AN ENVIRONMENTAL WEAR PROBLEM. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF THIS ON 10-06-05 DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE CHECK. THE CONTACT THOUGHT THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKES ON BECAUSE THE ROTORS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAVE WORN OUT WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR.*AK UPDATED 11/15/2005 - AFTER THE CONSUMER INDICATED HE WAS GOING TO CALL NHTSA HE RECEIVED A CALL FROM AN AREA REP. THE REP INDICATED THAT GM APPROVED REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT ROTORS AND CLEANING OF THE REAR BRAKES UNDER WARRANTY. *NM

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE AND SHE EVENTUALLY MADE IT HOME. I CHECKED THE STEERING AND IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE HEARD THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST AND WE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER GMC AND THEY STATED OUR VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT ON THE LIST AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNLESS WE PAID FOR THE VEHICLE REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THEY HAD RECALLED THIS IN THE PAST IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECTIFIED WITH THE VEHICLES SOLD AFTER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
OUR GAS GAUGE ON OUR 2000 GMC YUKON COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. TOOK IT IN THINKING IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BROKEN. THE PROBLEM THAT COST US A LOT OF MONEY WAS THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FIRST, WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN ON A CAR THIS NEW WITH ONLY AROUND 50,000 MILES AND SECOND, WHY PUT THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE GAS TANK SO THAT IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX? *JB

THE REAR LIFTGATE HINGES, THAT ARE GLUED TO THE REAR LIFTGATE GLASS, HAS COME FREE FROM THE GLASS. NEITHER THE GLASS LIFTGATE OR HINGES ARE DAMAGED, THE ATTACHING COMPOUND (I.E. GLUE?) HAS FAILED. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER A FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT GMC CANNOT REPAIR THE DEFECT. THEY MUST REPLACE UNDAMAGED ITEMS IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE FAILED ADHESIVE.*JB

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
ON AUGUST 15,2005 MY HUSBAND DROVE TO PORTLAND TO ATTEND OUR GRANDSONS BIRTHDAY PARTY. HE STOPPED TO PICK UP OUR SON AND HIS FAMILY TO TAKE TO OUR DAUGHTERS. LEAVING THEIR HOUSE HE PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PER HOUR AND THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED OUTWARD AS IF BLOWN OUT FROM THE INSIDE. HE RECALLS THAT THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS OR HEARING ANY THING HIT THE WINDOW. THE DEALER AND GM HAS REFUSED TO PURSUE THIS SO WE REPLACED THE WINDOW. THE PROFESSIONAL WHO REPLACED OUR WINDOW SAID THAT IT APPEARED TO BLOW OUT FROM THE INSIDE. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN WINDOWS WHILE REPLACING THEM SHATTER FROM LITTLE PRESSURE. WE STRESSED TO OUR DEALER AND GM OUR CONCERN THAT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN SITTING IN THE BACK WERE NOT HURT.*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN I BRAKE AT SLOW SPEEDS IN MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CAUSES A CHATTERING AND YOU HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THIS TO STOP AND THEN THE BRAKES START TO WORK AND YOU CAN SLOW DOWN AND STOP. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES, I THINK THE CAR JUST ISN'T GOING TO STOP. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATES THAT HE HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS COMPUTER PUMP. THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A LOT OF NOISE. IT SOUNDS AS IF SOMEONE WAS BEATING ON THE FENDER OF THE TRUCK ,AND IT WAS PROBABLY MAKING THIS NOISE BECAUSE OF THE PUMP CONTINUING TO RUN. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT TOOK THE FUSE OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH SHUT THE PUMP OFF. CURRENTLY, HE DOES NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED ALMOST $1400 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ,THEY WHERE GOING TO REPLACE THE PUMP. THIS PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN ON JANUARY OF 2005.*AK
