VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WE ARE AFFECTED BY THE RECENT RECALL CONCERNING THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND ARE WAITING FOR THE NEW HARNESS PARTS TO ARRIVE. HOWEVER, ABOUT THE SAME TIME WE BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THAT, WE ALSO BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A STICKING ACCELERATOR. AFTER STARTING AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, THE THROTTLE STICKS AND IS OBVIOUSLY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM RATHER THAN A LUBRICATION ISSUE. ONCE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ROLL, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WE AHEV LIVED WITH THIS FOR SOME TIME AND HAVE RECENTLY DRIVEN TWO OTHER GMC PRODUCTS (2001 GMC 1500 YUKON XL AND A 2001 CHEVY 1500 PICKUP), THEY TOO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM QUITE CERTAIN THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A RECALL EVENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT WITH THE STICKING OF THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE OFTEN LURCHES FORWARD AFTER ENOUGH PRESSURE HAS BEEN EXERTED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF THIS PROBLEM IS. THANK YOU, DON TITUS 817-705-1064

STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT SECTOR
DT: THE STEERING IS HAVING A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TURNING, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO EVEN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR 6 MONTHS. OWNER TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WAS INFORMED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN #000235003G STATED THAT STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, OWNER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REPAIR FROM GM. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A BROAD PROBLEM THAT THERE WAS A WAITING LIST TO GET THE PART. CONSUMER THOUGHT THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN , AND THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED DUE TO THE FEAR OF SAFETY ISSUES FOR THE OWNER AND HER CHILDREN. THE OWNER TALKED TO GM, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO HELP FOR CONSUMER, AND SHE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL. OWNER TOOK CAR TO HER MECHANIC FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED TEMPORARY FIX KIT SO CONSUMERS COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY COULD GET THE PARTS MANUFACTURED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A WAITING LIST.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTILOCK BRAKES SLIP AT LOW SPEADS AND FAIL TO STOP VEHICLE. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD INCIDENCES IN RECENT WEEKS WHERE WE NEEDED TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND RESET STOPPING JUST BARELY IN TIME BEFORE A COLLISION. WE PLAN ON BRING THE CAR INTO GMC THIS WEEK. NO INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. OUR COMPLAINT SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020 OPENED ON 4-28-05.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS. FORTUNATELY NOT WHILE ON THE CURVY, SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN ROADS. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED TOWING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PUMP AND CHARGED $200. MUCH INCONVEIENCE WAS INCURRED, WE HAD TO BE RETRIVED FROM THE MOUNTAINS(65 MILES), TAKEN TO THE DEALER BY OTHERS TO RETRIVE VEHICLE, ETC. THERE'S A RECALL(ID 05V005000) OF 98,221 OF THIS EXACT MODEL AND YEAR FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. GMC CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL AND WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME THE $200, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SHUTTLE COST FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO HOME AND OTHER INCIDENTALS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
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

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DT: TRANSMISSION; WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES AND HITS THE GAS IT FALLS OUT OF GEAR, AND THEN IT MAKES A NOISE WHEN IT GOES BACK INTO GEAR. CALLER DOES NOT DO ANYTHING BUT TAKE HIS FOOT OFF BRAKE AND ONTO GAS PEDAL. IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME, BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN. DEALER SAYS IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIX IT. SO THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED, AND THEY DID NOT RETURN CALL. CONSUMER CALLED THEM AGAIN, AND THEY SENT A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. HE SAID IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIX IT. ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL HAS SUFFERED FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM MADE THE SUBJECT OF THE RECENT RECALL BY GM. THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED THREE TIMES AND LEFT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN STRANDED ON INTERSTATE 45 AND IN GALVESTON, TX. WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TWICE TO GM DEALERSHIPS WITH ONE DEALERSHIP KEEPING THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK WITHOUT DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY SOLUTION THESE "CERTIFIED" MECHANICS COULD THINK TO DO WAS REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, WHILE I KNEW ALL ALONG THERE HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF SHORT IN THE FUEL SENDING SYSTEM. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1,000.00 IN REPAIRS AND TOWING CHARGES AND I STILL DON'T BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY YUKON IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAY IT DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER. WHEN MY VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED FROM THE VERY PROBLEM MADE THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL ON AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS, HOW COULD GM EXCLUDE IT FROM THE RECALL BECAUSE OF A VIN NUMBER. OBVIOUSLY GM HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY NOTIFY THE NHTSA OF ALL OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM PROBLEM, PROBABLY IN AN EFFORT TO MINIMIZE COSTS. HOWEVER, IT IS THE CONSUMERS LIKE ME THAT ARE AT RISK WHEN GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. MY GMC YUKON XL NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND GM'S RECALL LIST NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED CARS, NOT JUST THE ONES THEY PICK AND CHOOSE. MY WIFE AND KIDS SAFETY ARE AT ISSUE HERE.

PARKING BRAKE
HEARD SLIGHT GRINDING NOISES WHILE MAKING TURNS. SHORT TIME LATER I DISCOVERD THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE WHILE IN NEUTRAL WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. VEHICLE BEGIN ROLLING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER AND DISCOVERED PARKING BRAKE DRUMS AND SHOES WERE WORN OUT. REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT CONSIDERING THE WORK INVOLVED, I AM SURE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RATHER EXPENSIVE. I HOPE THE DEALER USED THE NEW STYLE SPRING CLIP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL EXPERIENCES THE SAME PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION # PE05020 AS IT RELATES TO ABS BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. I'M HOPING THAT THIS WILL BE RECALLED SOON SO THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED SOON.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
THIS RELATES TO THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED INVESTINGATION INTO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON GM LIGHT TRUCKS AND SUVS. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020 I OWN A 2000 YUKON XL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, IT DEVELOPED THE SLOW-SPEED ABS ACTIVATION PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN YOUR ABOVE-DESCRIBED ACTION, RESULTING IN OCCASIONAL INABILITY TO STOP PROPERLY AT STOP SIGNS AND PARKING SPACES. THE FREQUENCY OF INCIDENT INCREASED, UNTIL IN EARLY 2004, WE HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE WE BUMPED ANOTHER VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH WITH NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. WE THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP, WHO REPAIRED IT BY DISASSEMBLY, CLEANING AND REASSEMBLY, AT OUR EXPENSE, SINCE THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAD LAPSED. AS OF NOW, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT YET REOCCURRED, HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION, IT WILL REOCCUR. WE WOULD LIKE A PERMANENT FIX, AS WELL AS PERHAPS GM TO TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR ALREADY PERFORMED.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
1. DURING A FAMILY VACATION TO FLORIDA, MY BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED TO FAIL AT SLOW SPEEDS NORMALLY BETWEEN 5 AND 10MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BECOME STIFF AND THE SYSTEM WOULD MAKE NOISE LIKE THE ABS WAS BEING ACTIVATED. 2. BEING A FAMILY VEHICLE, I HAD THE REPAIR DONE IMMEDIATELY, THE TECHNICIANS IN FLORIDA WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH MY SYMPTOM. AT FIRST THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 3. THE CREW TOOK TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS TO FIGURE OUT FINALLY THAT THE FRONT WHEEL SENSORS FOR THE ABS WERE CORRODED (BECAUSE I LIVE IN MAINE) AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE SENSORS AND THIS ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEM.
