SERVICE BRAKES
TWO YEARS AGO I HAD A SEVER ACCIDENT THAT CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR AND SPIN AROUND. THE GMC DEALER SAID THE CAUSE WAS RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES. TODAY IT HAPPENED, BUT I WAS LUCK ENOUGH TO BE JUST PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE BRAKE LINE MUST HAVE RUSTED OUT AGAIN BECAUSE I PUMPED THE BRAKE AND NOTICED IT COMING OUT OF THE LEFT REAR LINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL LIKELY ONLY HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THERE IS NO PRE WARNING. IT WILL JUST HAPPEN. PERHAPS THEY ARE MAKING THE BRAKE LINES OUT OF THINNER MATERIAL BECAUSE WE HAVE MANY VEHICLES MUCH OLDER, AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, STEERING
MY 2005 YUKON XL WILL, AT RANDOM, SHIFT ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL LO. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND AT SPEEDS OF 30+ MPH. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PUSH-BUTTON 4WD CONTROL MODULE WILL LIGHT UP OR FLASH. NO AMOUNT OF BUTTON-PUSHING WILL DISENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I THE CAR WILL SLAM TO A 5 MPH CRAWL WHEN IT DOES THIS. ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM DEACTIVATES AT THE SAME TIME. HAS HAPPENED OVER 40 TIMES NOW.

MY 2015 GMC YUKON XL WITH 5000 MILES EXHIBITS A BUFFETING / PRESSURE SENSATION THAT CAN BE FELT PREDOMINATELY IN THE EARS BETWEEN 30 AND 70 MPH WHEN ONLY THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS ARE DOWN . AFTER A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IT BEGINS TO CAUSE DIZZINESS, EAR PAIN, AND HEADACHES. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG AND MUST BE FIXED

ON THE DAY I TEST DROVE MY YUKON MY HUSBAND AND I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE RETURNED TO DEALER NOTICED ONE OF THE RIMS WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER THREE SO WE ALL BELIEVED IT WAS THE CAUSE. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE HANDLED. SO WE CAME BACK TO PICKUP AND THAT'S WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERE REVERBERATION AND VIBRATIONS. REVERBERATION CAUSES SEVERE HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. MY DRIVING LEG GOES NUMB FROM THE VIBRATION THAT COMES THRU THE GAS PEDAL. SO UNSAFE. SEVERE TUNNELING VIBRATION THEY HAVE DONE THE TIRES NOT THE PROBLEM. REPOSITIONED UPPER AND LOWER REAR CONTROL ARMS TO CHANGE PINION ANGLE &CHECKED AND ADJUSTED TRANSMISSION CROSS MEMBER AND MOUNT. PICKED IT UP IMMEDIATELY NOTICED NOTHING HAD CHANGED. WHEN RIGHT BACK TO DEALER AND SERVICE MANAGER DROVE WITH ME. HE ALSO AGREED THAT IT WASN'T FIXED. BROUGHT BACK AGAIN. AFTER DOING ANOTHER SERIES OF THINGS GMC REP DROVE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT PICO SCORES FALL UNDER SPECS. OFFERED ME A ADDITIONAL 2YR/24000 MILE WARRANTY. HAHA I TRADE EVERY THREE YEARS AND PUT 6000 MILES PER YEAR ON MY SUV. SO ON 1/28/16 THE PICO SCORE WAS 20 BEFORE THE REPAIRS CLAIMED THEY GOT IT DOWN TO 5. PICKED IT UP BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER 2/3 (I'VE PUT 45 MILES ON BETWEEN SERVICES) TAKE IT BACK OUT ON ROAD PICO BACK AT 20 DID MORE STUFF GOT IT BACK DOWN TO 6. SO GM REP SAYS IT'S WITHIN GM SPECS?? THIS IS CRAZY. JUST TOOK DISABLED HUSBAND TO DR AND HE COULD HARDLY MAKE IT HOME IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SEVERE HEALTH CONCERN. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND KILL SOMEONE BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED. I HAVE ACTUALLY STUMBLED AFTER GETTING OUT OF THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE REVERBERATION AND MY EQUILIBRIUM BEING OFF BECAUSE OF IT. I HAD WKED FOR A GM DEALER FOR 25 YEARS THAT'S WHEN THEY USED TO TAKE CARE.OF THERE CUSTOMERS. I HAVE DRIVEN AND OWNED 20 SUBURBAN & YUKONS I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE LIKE THIS. CONCLUSION: NOT FIXED

SERVICE BRAKES
I DROVE APPROX. 30 MILES TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE. I SPENT ABOUT 2 HOURS THERE THEN STARTED MY 2002 YUKON XL TO HEAD BACK HOME. UPON MOVING THE VEHICLE I REALIZED I HAD VERY LIMITED BREAKING POWER. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I DREAD THINKING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE HEADING HOME. MY MECHANIC SAID THE BRAKE LINE FAILED CAUSING THE REAR BRAKES TO LOSE ALL STOPPING POWER. HE SAID HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL CASES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON EARLY 2000'S GMC TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE. GMC SHOULD STAND BEHIND THIS AND PAY TO REPAIR THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART REPLACEMENT. THIS WILL BE AN $800 REPAIR FOR ME AND A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT IN GMC IF THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES.

WITH ALL WINDOWS UP, VEHICLE EXHIBITS A BUFFETING / PRESSURE SENSATION THAT CAN BE FELT PREDOMINATELY IN THE EARS BETWEEN 30 AND 50 MPH. SIMILAR TO WHEN ONLY THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS ARE DOWN IN MANY VEHICLES. I SECOND THE FACT THAT AFTER ANY AMOUNT OF TIME AT THESE SUSTAINED SPEEDS IT BEGINS TO CAUSE DIZZINESS, EAR PAIN, AND HEADACHES. GM FORUMS ARE FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY WAS MANUFACTURED WITH A SIGNIFICANT, KNOWN FLAW THAT THEY CANNOT CURRENTLY FIX. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A SAFETY ISSUE STRICTLY BASED UPON THE PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS ONSET BY THE FEELING WITHIN THE VEHICLE.

I LEASED A 2016 YUKON DENALI XL ON 9/15/15. IT HAS TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS. 1. BUFFETING/PRESSURE NOISE - A NOISE AS IF A WINDOW IS CRACKED, EXCEPT IT'S NOT CRACKED. THIS OCCURS AT SPEEDS FROM 24MPH AND UP AND CAUSES EARS TO POP AND IS NOTICEABLE TO VIRTUALLY EVERY PASSENGER I HAVE HAD. 2. WHOLE-TRUCK VIBRATION - OCCURS BETWEEN 70-80MPH IN ENTIRE VEHICLE. WHEEL REPLACEMENTS, TIRE REPLACEMENTS, ROAD-FORCE BALANCING, DRIVESHAFT REPLACEMENT, DRIVESHAFT "BALANCING", ETC....NOTHING HAS FIXED IT. I HAVE DRIVEN 13 2016 YUKON, YUKON XL, TAHOE AND SUBURBANS. EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS THE BUFFETING ISSUES. ALL BUT ONE HAS THE VIBRATION ISSUES. GM HAS ISSUED A PI STATING THAT THE ROOF BOWS MAY HAVE COME DISCONNECTED AND THEY NEED TO BE REATTACHED. THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT REATTACHING THEM DOESN'T FIX THE BUFFETING ISSUE. I HAVE A DATE-STAMPED LOG OF EVERY DEALER VISIT, CONVERSATION, EMAIL, ETC. AND AM GLAD TO SHARE IT. THESE ISSUES ARE RIDICULOUS TO OCCUR IN ANY CAR MUCH LESS A 75K FLAGSHIP CAR THAT PULLS IN 3-7K IN PROFIT FOR GM/DEALERS PER VEHICLE.

CRACK IN DASH BESIDE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. CRACK SEEMED TO APPEAR OVERNIGHT WITH NO TRAUMA TO THE DASH AT ALL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT THAT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, SHRAPNEL FROM THE CRACKED DASH WILL BE THROWN INTO MY PASSENGERS' FACES CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY.
