UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OUR YUKON XL HAS A SEVERE REVERBERATION INSIDE THE CABIN THAT IS ACCENTUATED WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR ACCELERATING UP HILLS. WE HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY CLAIMING THAT IT IS BECAUSE THE CABIN IS SO LONG. AFTER 15 MINUTES IN THE VEHICLE IT BECOMES ANNOYING TO INTOLERABLE.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
THE HEATER DID NOT WORK. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT UNTIL IN THE HIGHWAY. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 29 DEGREES (F). I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IF IT WERE NEEDED (WHICH COULD IMPAIR DRIVING). I CALLED ON-STAR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEY DETERMINED THERE WERE PROBLEMS IN THE SYSTEM AND SUGGEST ME TO SEE THE DEALER. LATER ON IN THE SAME DAY, THE HEATER WORKED (ONLY ON THE DRIVER''S SIDE) AFTER THE CAR PARKED TWICE.

TIRES
AFTER OWNING MY 2002 GMC YUKON XL, I NOTICED UNEVEN TIRED TREAD WEAR AT ABOUT THE 5000 MILE MARK. WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO THE CARRIAGE MOTORS COMPANY SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR MY VEHICLE'S 7500 SERVICE, I MENTIONED MY CONCERN FOR MANNER IN WHICH MY TIRES WERE WEARING. BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK TIRES HAD THE SAME TIRE WEAR SINCE THEY HAD BEEN ROTATED AT 5000 MILES. THE TREAD WEARS UNEVENLY ON THE INSIDE OF BOTH THE FRONT TIRES, CAUSING EXCESSIVE TIRE NOISE FROM INSIDE THE CABIN AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE VEHICLE PULLS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. MOST NOTEABLY RIGHT AFTER THE TIRES ARE ROTATED. I HAVE SINCE COMPLAINED ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS TO CARRIAGE MOTORS AND EACH TIME WAS GIVEN THE RESPONSE THAT IT IS NORMAL TIRE WEAR FOR A GMC YUKON. SECOND OPINIONS WERE SOUGHT FROM DIFFERENT TIRE DEALERSHIPS IN THE TEMECULA AREA, WITH ALL STATING THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL. MY CONCERN IS FOR MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN, AS MY SPOUSE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHILCE HANDLES VERY POORLY ON THE FREEWAY AND MOST RECENTLY, HAVING RECEIVED SOME RAIN IN OUR LOCAL AREA, I WAS ALARMED AT HOW POORLY THE VEHILCLE HANDLED ON THE WET ROADS. A LOCAL TIRE COMPANY IN MY AREA STATED THAT MY TIRES ON NOT CONTACTING PROPERLY WITH THE ROAD, WHICH RESULTS IN POOR HANDLING. IN ADDITION, THE CARRIAGE MOTOR COMPANY STATED THE REASON FOR THE MANNER IN WHICH THE TIRES WEAR FOR "YUKONS" WAS THE DESIGN BY GMC IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A SMOOTHER RIDE FOR THIS VEHICLE. I AM SEEKING THE NHTSA ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER AS I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS WITH THE CARRIAGE MOTORS AND GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE. IF YOUR AGENCY IS UNABLE TO ASSIST ME PLEASE DIRECT ME TO THE APPROPRIATE AGENCY THAT WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. DT

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
FRONT HEATER ONLY OPERATES AT FULL TEMPERATURE SETTING 82 DEGREES. OTHERWISE, THE HEATER IS BLOWING COLD AIR, ABOUT THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE. THE ONLY WAY TO REGULATE INSIDE TEMPERATURE IS TO SET AT 82 DEGREES, THEN TURN SYSTEM OFF UNTIL THE CABIN IS COLD, THEN TURN HEATER BACK ON, ETC. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE EVERY FEW MINUTES, CAUSING CONSTANT DRIVER DISTRACTION. DEALER IS ADVISING GM TECH CENTER IS STATING THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. DT

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
WE DID NOT NOTICE THE MISSING LATCH SYSTEM FOR CHILD SEATS UNTIL VERY RECENTLY WHEN WE BECAME GRANDPARENTS. OUR SON'S 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS THE SYSTEM AND OUR NEWER 2002 YUKON XL DENALI OWNERS MANUAL STATES CLEARLY THAT THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE NEW AND IMPROVED LATCH SYSTEM. IT'S NOT THERE! NO LOWER ATTACHMENT POINTS ARE INCORPORATED IN THE OPTIONAL BUCKET SEATS WHICH GM CHARGED US EXTRA FOR. WHY DOES IT COST EXTRA TO GET LESS SEAT AND THEN GET RIPPED OFF ON THE NEW CHILD SAFETY SEAT ATTACHMENT SYSTEM? MR
