ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PAST FEW DAYS WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND HIGHWAYS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY RADIO POWERING OFF AND ON EVERY FEW MINUTES, THE WARNING LIGHT TO HAVE MY TIRE PRESSURE SERVICED, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS LIT UP AND A STABILITRAK WARNING MESSAGE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. WHAT IF MY VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING? THERE ARE NO RECALLS ACCORDING TO GMC'S WEBSITE. I ALSO WANT TO REPORT THAT MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND STARTING TO SEPARATE, WHICH WORRIES ME SINCE THE CRACK IS NEAR MY AIRBAGS, AND CRACKED OVER MY STEERING COLUMN. GMC HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS EITHER AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OWNER'S OF YUKONS AND TAHOES AROUND MY YEAR MODEL. I HAVE 119K MILES ON MY VEHICLE SO I AM SURE GMC WILL NOT REPAIR ANYTHING UNLESS I PAY FOR IT MYSELF, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I FEEL MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT RISK.

THE PLASTIC DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED. IT STARTED OUT SMALL COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND STRETCHING TO THE EDGE OF THAT DASH PANEL. NOW A SECOND PART OF THE DASH HAS CRACKED BY THE DRIVER SIDE OVER THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER. THE PORTION OF THE DASH THAT'S CRACKED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN AS IT COULD BREAK OFF AND CAUSE SHARP PIECES TO HIT THE PASSENGER IN THE FACE OF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. MY GMC DEALER STATED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS "COSMETIC" ISSUE AND THEREFORE I WILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A PORTION OF THE COST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HE VEHICLE IS GARAGED. THERE COULD BE NO LONG TERM DAMAGE TO THE DASH OTHER THAN WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO WHICH IS TO BE UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. GMC - OWN THIS ISSUE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM PLEASE. I'M NOT LIKELY TO BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER OF YOU CAN'T PRODUCE A SUPERIOR AND RELIABLE PRODUCT -OR- BE RESPONSIBLE AND CORRECT AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

SEATS
WHEN PRESSING MORE THAN ONE DRIVERS WINDOW CONTROL, THE DRIVER'S SEAT OCCASIONALLY MOVES TO THE FULL FORWARD POSITION FORCING THE DRIVER UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL (STEER) THE VEHICLE.

THE UPPER DASH HAS TWO CRACKS NEXT TO THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG OPENING. I CANNOT GET THESE CRACKS REPAIRED BECAUSE THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I CANNOT FIND OUT IF THE BROKEN, CRACKED UPPER DASH COULD ALSO INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY OPEN CASE # 8-1633101708 BUT HAVE NOT OFFERED TO FIX OR REPLACE THE UPPER DASH.

SERVICE BRAKES
THERE IS A RECALL #05068 THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR, EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE AND BRAKE. (2003 GMC YUKON XL). HOWEVER, GMC CLAIMS MY CAR "ISN'T EFFECTED" AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. MY ISSUES ARE 1. GETTING DANGEROUS, AS THE CAR BOGS AND WON'T ACCELERATE WITHOUT A PERIOD OF HESITATION AND THEN IT GIVES TOO MUCH ACCELERATION WHICH CAN BE BAD IF I'M ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE. ALSO, THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES WHICH IS ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING: 2. MY ABS KICKS IN RANDOMLY, EVEN IF THE PAVEMENT IS TOTALLY DRY AND CLEAR. APPARENTLY, THIS IS CAUSED BY A CORRODED MOUNTING SURFACE FOR THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. THE CORROSION BUILDS UP CAUSING EXCESSIVE GAP BETWEEN MOUNTING SURFACE AND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WHICH CAUSES A LOSS OF WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL. WHEN THE ABS MODULE SEES THE LOSS OF SIGNAL IT THINKS THE VEHICLE IS SLIDING OUT OF CONTROL SO IT WILL ACTIVATE THE TRACTION CONTROL OR ABS. DESCRIPTION FROM RECALL #05068: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT... HAZARD:THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM KICK IN BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. DEALER SUGGEST REPLACING THE BRAKE SENSOR OR DISABLING IT. FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS EVENT THE VEHICLE HAD 35K MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL GIVEN THE IMPLICATIONS OF A FAULTY SYSTEM.

I WOULD LIKE TO RESORT HOW HARD IT IS TO TELL IF THESE VEHICLES ARE TURNING OR BRAKING DUE TO THE "BRAKE-LIGHT-TURN-SIGNAL COMBINATION" WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ON.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MPH ON SECONDARY ROAD WHEN ALL LIGHTS DIMMED AND THE VEHICLE POWER WENT DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT AND I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES, THEN RE-STARTED WHICH SEEMED TO HAVE RE-SET THINGS. IT RAN OK TO MY DESTINATION. BUT SINCE THEN (A YEAR OR SO) IT BOGS DOWN WHEN STARTING OUT FROM IDLE SUCH AS A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND THE LIGHTS DIM. AT THE SAME TIME, IT MAKES A GRINDING SOUND AS IF FROM THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE BECOMES STIFF AS THOUGH IT IS TRYING TO OFFSET MY BRAKING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STABILITY INDICATOR STATES "TRACTION ACTIVE". ONCE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN, IT WILL GO OFF AND THE VEHICLE WILL ACT NORMALLY. I DISCOVERED THAT MANUALLY OVER-RIDING THE TRACTION (SHUTTING IT OFF), IT ELIMINATES THE HESITATION. BUT IT STILL MAKES THE GRINDING/GROANING SOUND ALONG WITH THE BRAKE ISSUE. ONCE IS GETS UP TO SPEED, EVERYTHING IS FINE. ALL OF THIS IS JUST ON STARTING OUT AFTER A STOP. WE HAVE HEARD OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT RESOLVED. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUES TO MY KNOWLEDGE. IT IS A REAL DANGER WHEN TRYING TO START ONTO A HIGHWAY OR INTERSECTION.

MY FATHER WAS DRIVING FROM DIALYSIS ON THE DECLINE OF A BRIDGE WHEN HE PASSED OUT BEHIND THE WHEEL. HE WAS WEARING HIS SEATBELT, AND THE VEHICLE RESTED AFTER HITING A TREE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION PENDING, THEY HAVE SENT A REPRESENTAIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND I AM AWAITING THE OUTCOME. I HAVE CONTACTED COPART AND HAD THE VEHICLE PLACED ON HOLD TO ALLOW NHTSA THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE SAME, IF YOU CHOOSE. 5017 DUNCAN ROAD, PUNTA GORDA, FL (941) 505-9700.
