ENGINE
STARTED THE MOTOR IN THE MORNING NOTICED A LIGHT TICKING NOISE COME FROM THE MOTOR. SOUNDS LIKE THE LIFTERS ARE TAPPING. THE NOISE USE TO ONLY BE IN THE MORNING BUT NOW IT IS CONSTANT. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSIS WAS INFORMED THAT THE LIFTERS ARE GOING BAD!!!!! WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST AROUND 3000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY OTHER GM OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE A RECALL PLACED ON THESE MOTORS I THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT WE HAVE TO PAY OUT SO MUCH MONEY TO OWN A NICE CAR JUST TO HAVE IT TURN INTO A BIG PILE. MY LOW MILEAGE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS 200000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ENGINE
WE HAVE A 2003 YUKON THAT WILL SHUTS DOWN ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME, THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" "STABILITY TRACTION LOSS" APPEARED ON DISPLAY - I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE WAIT A FEW MINUTES THEN RESTART IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY AND A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT WAS A SNOWY MESS OUT SIDE WHICH MADE THE SITUATION WORSE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I GET SCARED BECAUSE THERE COULD BE A SEMI BEHIND US AND IT WILL JUST PLOW INTO US BECAUSE WE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL WE SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND RESTART. VERY SCARY. WE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE TO FIND OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A LONG STANDING ISSUE, GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. GM SEEMS TO BE HAVING ALOT OF PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE NOT DEALING WITH. SHAME ON GM! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ON MY 2001 YUKON. A SEVERELY CORRODED BRAKE LINE LEADING TO PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BRAKE FAILED. POINT OF FAILURE WAS AT THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RADIATOR. DURING REMOVAL OF THE FAILED LINE FROM IT'S MOUNTING CLIP ON THE VEHICLE FRAME THE BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT BRAKE WAS BUMPED CAUSING IT TO BREAK AS WELL. ON CLOSER INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED TO THE POINT THEY WERE READY TO FAIL AND ALL LINES REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN WHEN THE BRAKES FELT A LITTLE SOFT. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE. I PUT IN A HALF A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID INTO THE RESERVOIR. I DROVE TO THE HOUSE AND PARKED IT. SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER PARKING THERE WAS THE BEGINNING OF A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID. I MADE SEVERAL OTHER STOPS AND AT EACH STOP BRAKE FLUID WAS BEGINNING TO LEAK WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE DASH ON MY VEHICLE HAS CRACKED AND FEEL THAT IF THE AIR BAG IS EVER DEPLOYED IT WILL SEND PLASTIC FLYING INTO MY PASSENGERS FACE OR CUT THE AIR BAG. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GM ABOUT THIS AND DO NOT FEEL THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE $1,100 THE FIRST TIME I CALLED AND AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY COULD DO IT FOR $500 NOW. I STILL FEEL THAT THIS IS GM'S ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS. *TR

THE DASH WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CRACKED. WHEN I WAS SEARCHING TO FIND A REPAIR SHOP NEAR ME, I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL BLOGS (HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/THE-UPPER-DASH-MAY-CRACK-554 AND HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/GMC/YUKON/2009/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/CRACKED_DASHBOARD.SHTML) MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT CRACKS. WHEN I CALLED GMC THEY EXPLAINED ANY RECALL HAS TO BE PROCESSED THROUGH THIS ASSOCIATION, WHICH I CERTAINLY WASN'T AWARE OF, AND I DO NOT THINK THE OTHER PEOPLE WERE EITHER BECAUSE IT'S AN APPROXIMATELY $1,600 REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND PEOPLE HAVE PAID IT. I REALLY THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECTIFIED THROUGH GMC, SO IF THIS ONE COMPLAINT IS NOT ENOUGH, PLEASE GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS WELL. THANK YOU! *TR
