FOUND 1 BROKEN WIRE INSIDE WIRE INSULATION. REPAIRED. PICKED UP CAR AND IT FAILED 1 MILE LATER, TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THEY FOUND 2 MORE BROKEN WIRES. REPLACED HARNESS. ONE WEEK LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AFTER BRIEF WAIT IT STARTED AND RAN FOR ANOTHER DAY UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP PURCHASED FROM. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TWO WEEKS LATER IT FAILED AGAIN. TOW TRUCK TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEARLERSHIP. THEY CHANGED ANOTHER PART RELATIVE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM AND SAID IT "MAY" BE FIXED. I REFUSE TO PICK IT UP OR DRIVE IT AGAIN; IT'S DANGEROUS AND UNDEPENDABLE. HAVE ASKED GM FOR ANOTHER CAR AND I AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEAD LIGHT FLICKER WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING OR GOING OVER BUMPS. APPEARS TO MAKE DRIVERS THINK I AM FLASHING MY HIGH BEAMS. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, NOT ONLY TO ME BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE AHEAD OF ME. DEALER WAS NOT VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PROBLEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS NOT AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE AT NIGHT. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON. IT NOW HAS 20,000 MILES. GM HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP TWICE SO FAR AND WILL HAVE TO EVERY TIME I RUN LOW ON GASOLINE. IT SEEMS THAT THE PUMP IS LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK AND THE PUMP DEPENDS ON THE TANK HAVING ENOUGH LIQUID TO KEEP THE ELECTRIC PUMP COOL. OTHERWISE IT OVERHEATS AND BURNS UP. I CAN'T BELIEVE SUCH DUMB ENGINEERING. I'M SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WHO HAS HAD THIS TROUBLE. THE SERVICE PEOPLE MAKE NO SECRET THAT YOU MUST KEEP AT LEAST A QUARTER TANK AT ALL TIMES TO KEEP THE PUMP FROM BURNING UP. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON. THIS CONDITION ONLY OCCURS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH AND WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR MAKING A CURVE. THIS CONDITION IS NOT ONLY DISTRACTING, BUT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH NO OTHER AMBIENT LIGHT I AM UNABLE TO SEE ADEQUATELY AHEAD OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD DRIVERS AHEAD OF ME PULL OVER THINKING THAT I WAS FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM AND OTHER DRIVERS GET IRATE BELIEVING THAT I AM "BRIGHT LIGHTING THEM". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD ON THE DENALI'S WITH STABILITRAK. GM STATES THAT THIS CONDITION IS "NORMAL". I BELIEVE THAT HEADLIGHTS ARE MEANT TO BURN STEADY AND NOT FLICKER OFF AND ON. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS WITH THE AUTO MANUFACTURER TO MANDATE A FIX BEFORE THERE ARE INJURIES ATTRIBUTED TO THIS CONDITION.*AK
