ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON A 102 DEGREE DAY, MY FUEL TANK WAS AT 1/2 FULL. THE ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION, MAKING IT DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. WHEN I SLOWED TO 20 MPH AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I LOST ALL POWER OF STEERING AND BRAKES. I EXPERIENCED "VAPOR LOCK" ACCORDING TO THE GM CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WHO EVALUATED MY PROBLEM THE FOLLOWING DAY (UNDER A COOL ENGINE CONDITION).HE FOUND NO DEFECTS WITH A COOL ENGINE ON A 60 DEGREE MORNING.

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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AIR BAGS
I HAVE THREE SEPARATE COMPLAINTS: 1) IN DECEMBER 2004 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THEN SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD CRASHING SOUND THAT CAME FROM UNDERNEATH OF THE HOOD OF MY YUKON. IT WAS APPARENT THAT SOMETHING CAME APART FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD BECAUSE WHEN I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND THEN PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY; THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE IN ANY OF THE FREEWAY LANES WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT I RAN OVER SOMETHING. WHATEVER CAME APART, YOU COULD HEAR IT BEING DRUG FROM THE FRONT, ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. IT TORE THE ENTIRE LEFT FENDER WELL APART, IT CUT A WHOLE INTO MY LEFT CUSTOM TIRE, AND IT CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE , ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. MY HUSBAND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO ENDURE THE COST TO HAVE THE LEFT REAR FENDER WELL THAT WAS DAMAGED FROM THIS INCIDENT. (2) IN MARCH 2005 MY YUKON'S DIGITAL READING KEPT STATING SERVICE AIR BAG. ALSO, IT DISPLAYED THE PICTURE OF A PERSON IN THE SEAT WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS FAIRLY NEW, THAT HAS ONLY 18,007 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, AND NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH DEFECTS THAT THE DEALER IS NOT WILLING REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME. (3) THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING GEARS VERY ROUGHLY, AND AT TIMES WHEN IT IS PLACED INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT JERKS VERY HARD, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN PROCEEDING TO DRIVE IT DRAGS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
WE PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON XL IN SEPTEMBER ON 2004. THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL NOTICE ON THE TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT PREFORM THE REPAIR. IN ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 27TH, 2004 THE TRANSMISSION BLEW AND THE VEHICLE WAS SENT TO A DEALERSHIP LOCALLY, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON THE BRAND NEW SUBURBAN, MY CONCERN IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP AND GM HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REPLACE THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO SELLING THE VEHICLE AND THE FACT THAT THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE KNOWING THE PROBLEM EXISTED AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT SCARES ME. WE RUN A TRANSPORTATION COMPANY IN THE MTNS OF COLORADO, HAD THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED ON ONE OF THE PASSES WE COULD HAVE KILLED SEVERAL PEOPLE. THE DEALERSHIPS RESPONSE WAS "WELL THAT DID NOT HAPPEN DID IT" FROM RICK DUNCANS OWN MOUTH. WE HAVE DECIDED TO FILE A LAWSUITE AGAINST THE DEALERSHIP AND GM DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS FAILURE IN VEHICLE EQUIPMENT. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2004 YUKON XL IN DEC. 2003 THE STABILITY TRAC SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISABLED. THE DIGITAL READ OUT JUST BLINKS DISABLED. MY LOCAL DEALERS KEEP TELLING ME THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS. YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE WOULD KNOW SOMETHING BY NOW. THE REASON I PURCHASED THE YUKON WITH THE STABILI-TRAC WAS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY TO BUY THE VEHCILE AND NOW FEEL CHEATED DUE TO NOT HAVING WHAT I REALLY PURCAHSED THE YUKON FOR.*AK
