INTERIOR LIGHTING
'03 YUKON DENALI - WHILE DRIVING IN COMPLETE DARKNESS WHILE MAKING A LEFT SWEEPING TURN EVERY VISIBLE INTERIOR LIGHT TURNS OF AND ON FOR 1-2 SEC. THIS INCLUDES HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS BECOMING VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING TO OTHER DRIVERS. THE DEALER BLAMES IT ON A LOOSE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THEY REPLACED IT. THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ON ANOTHER NIGHT TRIP, THE SAME EVENT OCCURED AGAIN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ALTENATOR. IT STILL DOES IT. THE DEALER SAYS THEY NOE HAVE NO IDEA. I REALLY NEED HELP. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT COMPLETE LOSS WHILE IN DARKNESS AND SUBSEQUENTLY HITTING A DIVIDER.*AK

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
WE PURCHASED A 2003 GMC YUKON. BEFORE IT HAD REACHED 3000 MILES THE NEUTRAL LIGHT CAME ON ON THE 4X4 UNIT. FROM THERE IT WOULD SHIFT ITSELF INTO 4 LOW. WE HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE REPLACED ONE OF THE COMPONENTS 3 TIMES, TWO OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS ONCE. AFTER THE SECON D REPLACEMENT IT STARTED SHOWING NEUTRAL AGAIN ON THE 4X4 UNIT. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE PROBLEMS DO NOT ARISE UNTIL AFTER 1000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE UNITS. WE ARE TRYING TO DO A BUY BACK BUT GM IS DRAGGING THINGS OUT AND GIVING US A HARD TIME.*AK
