SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2003 GMC YUKON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO INTERMITTENT ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WARNING BELLS STARTED TO SOUND AND THE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT, ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID, AND FOUND IT WAS OK. THE NEXT DAY, HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE PADS AND CHECKED THE SYSTEM. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, WHICH VERIFIED THE ABS HAD COME ON, BUT RESET WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RE-STARED. THE BRAKE SHOP RECOMMENDED THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, IN THEIR OPINION THE ABS MODULE AND ABS PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER, WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON, THE ABS WAS INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, IT WOULD COST $125, JUST TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND IF THE MODULE AND PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, IT WOULD COST $ 2,200. THE ABS LIGHT STAYED OUT FOR WEEKS. HOWEVER, IN MARCH 2014, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY, AIR BAGS
IN APRIL OF 2013 I TOOK MY GMC INTO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE CRACK THAT STARTED ABOVE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WAS TRAVELING TOWARD MY AIRBAG. THE DEALER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THAT GM HAD REPAIRED SOME BUT WAS NO LONGER DOING SO. HE ALSO SAID THAT IF THEY REPLACED THE DASH WITH A NEW ONE, IT WOULD DO THE SAME THING. THE CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO TRAVEL AND NOW MY AIRBAG PANEL IS RAISED ON THE DASH. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY OFFERED TO SPLIT THE COST OF THE REPAIR AT $400-$500 WITH NO WARRANTY ON THE REPAIR. THEY AGREED THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY INTERIOR DOOR LATCHES ALSO BEGAN PEELING WHICH LEFT SHARP EDGES OF PLASTIC (?)-MY DAUGHTER SLICED HER FINGER OPENING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. GM AT FIRST REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM IN APRIL OF 2013 BUT AS OF TODAY, OFFERED TO REPLACE THEM AT NO COST TO ME. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
3 OF THE 4 DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO WORK AS INTENDED, I.E., WITH FOB AND HAD TO BE MANUALLY MANIPULATED TO OPEN DOORS. ONE DOOR COULD BE OPENED WITH KEY. ONE DOOR COULD ONLY BE OPENED IF LOCK WAS PULLED UP MANUALLY - IT WOULD LOCK AUTOMATICALLY, BUT TOOK MANUAL INTERVENTION TO GET THE LOCK IN THE UN-LOCK POSITION. UNLESS THERE WAS AN ADULT IN THIS POSITION TO OPEN THE LOCK, THE DOOR COULD NOT BE ACCESSED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS WAS A REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND CAUSED GREAT CONCERN WHEN CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THE 3 LOCKS REPLACED AT A GREAT DOLLAR COST, BUT COULD NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE HAVE CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEAT WITHOUT HAVING IT DONE. I HAVE REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM GMC AS I DO NOT BELIEVE A 75% FAILURE RATE ON DOOR LOCKS IS ACCEPTABLE SAFE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI AND AS I SEE FROM THE MANY COMPLAINTS BEFORE ME MY CLUSTER HAS WENT OUT. I HAVE NO USE OF MY DASHBOARD AT ALL. NO USE OF GAS GAUGE. NO USE OF SPEEDOMETER. NO USE OF OIL GAUGE. NO USE OF ANYTHING ON DASH. WHY AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS HAS GMC NOT DONE ANYTHING. IF THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON NOW WITH IGNITION SWITCH THEY WILL PAY SO MUCH MORE WITH LAWSUITS. I WILL BE THE FIRST IN LINE, CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE RAN OFF THE ROAD FOR LACK OF GAS

2009 GMC YUKON EXPERIENCED COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. EVERYDAY FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS MY YUKON EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL FAILURE AS IF YOU TURNED THE CAR OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY, THEN IT THE POWER COMES RIGHT BACK WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. THIS POSSES A SIGNIFICANT DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY DUE TO, HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKING LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS ARE ALL OFF.

SERVICE BRAKES
A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT BECAUSE A CAR WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF HIM. I APPLIED THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS A WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. I WENT TO DRIVE A FEW FEET AND TRIED TO STOP WHEN I REALIZED I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL AND THE WHITE SMOKE WAS STILL COMING OUT. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SHOP. THE BRAKES LINE FAILED BECAUSE OF CORROSION. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS SPRAYING ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CREATING THE WHITE SMOKE. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
THE TOP COVER OF THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ON THE HUMP ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIR BAG...GOD FORBID THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. THAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. THE VEHICLE IS A 2009 GMC YUKON, WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY AND ADVANCES GM HAS MADE, I WOULD ASSUME THAT A SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS DEGREE WOULD WARRANT A RECALL OR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND RESPONSIBILITY FROM GM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES FAILED TO STOP PROPERLY, SURGING/INTERMITTENT PULSING AND STRANGE SOUNDS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION FOR ABS BRAKES. I TOLERATED AND DROVE CAREFULLY FOR YEARS. NOW I FIND THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF A GMC RECALL PROBLEM 05V-379. UPON CONTACTING GMC THEY SAY THEIR COMPUTERS NEED UPDATING AND IT "MAY" BE IN FOR RECALL BUT THE GMC DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS NOW. SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT TOTAL FAILURE AND AM REGISTERING A COMPLAINT. THEY SAID THAT I COULD GET IT FIXED NOW AND THEN THEY "MAY" REIMBURSE ME LATER. I CALLED THE GMC NUMBER ON THEIR RECALL SITE, THE SITE SAID MY NUMBER "MAY" QUALIFY FOR RECALL. I AM CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED NOW THAT I KNOW THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR OTHER GMC PRODUCTS AND CAN'T GET FIXED. *TR
