ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SAME THING AS ALREADY LISTED. MY RADIO, WIPERS AND WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY COME ON BUT IF YOU TRY TO USE THE WIPERS OR ROLL DOWN A WINDOW IT SHUTS ALL 3 DOWN. FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING MY YUKON IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN I FOUND IT NECESSARY TO ATTEMPT A PANIC STOP. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT SOMTHING GIVE WAY AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ATTEMPTED APPLYING THE BRAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I NURSED THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE JUST BEFORE THE REAR WHEEL. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND THEM TO BE VERY CORRODED AND THE ONE LINE LEADING TO THE REAR BRAKES WAS SPLIT OPEN. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE BRAKE LINE FROM THE ABS UNIT UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT TO THE JUNCTION NEAR THE SPARE WHEEL. I HAVE INSPECTED THE OTHER BRAKE LINES AND FOUND THEY ARE CORRODED ALSO. *JS

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:REAR WINDOW
2007 GMC YUKON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR DEFROSTER TABS WOULD DETACH FROM THE WINDOW EVERY WINTER. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. THE FIRST TIME, THEY SOLDERED THE TERMINAL BACK ON AT A COST OF $ 29.95. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW BECAUSE IT COULDN'T BE SOLDERED BACK ON. THE THIRD TIME, THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE WINDOW AGAIN. THE DEALER THE SENT THE CONSUMER TO A GLASS COMPANY, WHERE THEY EPOXYED THE TABS BACK ONTO THE WINDOW. HOWEVER, WITHIN A WEEK THE TABS FELL OFF AGAIN. ANOTHER LOCAL GLASS COMPANY WAS RECOMMENDED AND THAT COMPANY RE-ATTACHED THE TABS, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE TABS FELL OFF AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR MAIN BRAKE LINE BROKE RIGHT HALF INTO WHEN I HAD TO APPLY A VERY HARD STOP ON INTERSTATE 64 I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN A SMALL CAR ABRUPTLY CHANGED LANES THERE WASN'T EFFICIENT ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE CAR TO MOVE IN AS HE MOVED OVER I HAD TO HIT MY BRAKE RATHER HARD TO GIVE THIS IDIOT ENOUGH ROOM TO MERGE IN THE ABS KICKED IN AND THE TIRES SQUEALED I CAME VERY VERY CLOSE TO REAR ENDING THIS GUY BUT I HAD JUST ENOUGH BRAKE TO SLOW MY CAR UP WITHOUT INCIDENT AFTER THAT MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I EXITED THE INTERSTATE SOMEHOW IT DID STOP LUCKY ME. SOON AS I SAW A STORE I STOPPED AND PURCHASED 4 CANS OF BRAKE FLUID REFILLED THE RESERVOIR AND MADE IT HOME WITH THAT. I JACKED MY YUKON UP AND SAW A VERY RUSTY STEEL LINE BROKE OFF AT THE FITTING IT DIDN'T PULL OUT OF THE FITTING IT ACTUALLY BROKE INTO AND OF COURSE FLUID WAS EVERYWHERE. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD DISASTER THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE RIGHT AT THE PEAK OF THE DAY WHEN EVERYONE WAS LEAVING WORK TRYING TO GET HOME. I AM THANKING MY LUCKY STARS I MADE IT HOME SAFE. NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE REPAIR PART OF THIS WHOLE THING. *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS SITTING STILL IN TRAFFIC WHEN HIT IN THE REAR PASSENGER QUARTER PANEL BY A F150 TRUCK TRAVELING APPROX 65MPH. IT HIT HEAD ON IN THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE & QUARTER PANEL. THE TIRE WAS KNOCKED OFF, AXLE KNOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE, FRAME WAS DAMAGED, REAR AIR CONDITION WAS CRUSHED AND THE VEHICLE VALUED BY STATE FARM AT $27,000 WAS TOTALED. THE F150 WAS ALSO TOTALED. AN ADULT WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT, INFANT IN 2ND ROW CAPTAIN CHAIR DRIVER SIDE, 8 YR OLD 2ND ROW CAPTAIN CHAIR PASSENGER SIDE, 5 YR OLD WAS IN THE 3D ROW PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT AT THE POINT OF IMPACT. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND ON STAR WAS NOT CALLED. I CALLED 911 FROM MY CELL PHONE & ALL PASSENGERS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. STATE FARM NOW OWNS THIS VEHICLE BUT I HAVE PICTURES. NOW MY NEW 2010 YUKON HAS A SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT ON. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH GM'S AIR BAG SYSTEMS. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
CRACK NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG, ABOVE STEERING WHEEL AND ANOTHER STARTING TO FORM NEAR THE INITIAL CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY PRETEND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, THOUGH THERE ARE HUNDREDS COMMENTS ON FORUMS/GROUPS ONLINE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MINE AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION WHERE THE AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY. WILL THEY DEPLOY PROPERLY? WILL THE SHARDS OF PLASTIC FROM THE FAULTY DASH CAUSE FURTHER INJURY? GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES AND DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CONSUMERS BY REPAIRING THE DASHES. *TR

ENGINE
IN DECEMBER 2010 THE CAMSHAFT IN THE 5.3L GM ENGINE REPORTEDLY DELAMINATED CAUSING ONE OR MORE LIFTERS TO GALL AND FAIL REQUIRING A NEW ENGINE. I PURCHASED A FACTORY 5.3L ENGINE FROM A GM DEALER AND HAD THAT INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WITH THE ASSURANCE OF A 3 YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. 28 AUGUST MY WIFE TOLD ME THE ENGINE WAS NOISY. ON STARTING THE ENGINE IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT OIL WAS NOT PUMPING THROUGH THE LIFTERS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER ON THE 29TH FOR DIAGNOSIS. ON 30 AUGUST THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS SHIPPED WITH FAULTY CASTECH HEADS THAT CAUSED COOLANT TO SEEP INTO THE OIL. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I WOULD LIKE, IF IT IS THE JOB OF THE NHTSA, TO HAVE THE 5.3L ENGINE RECALLED. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING TO WORK AND "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" CAME ON. ENGINE STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT GAIN SPEED. I WAS IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPEN AND MY VEHICLE CAUSE A INCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN ENGINE REDUCED ALL SPEED. GMC SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND INFORM THE PUBLIC OF ALL THE DANGERS THESE VEHICLES ARE CAUSING FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS LUDICROUS THAT GMC DOES NOT HAVE THESE VEHICLE OFF HE STREETS AND DESTROYED KNOWING THAT THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE LIVES IN DANGER. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A GMC VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR

ENGINE
MY CAR BEGAN TO HAVE A BUILD UP OF SLUGS AND BEGAN LOOSING OIL PRESSURE AND COOLANT AND NEEDED OIL ADDED AND COOLANT FREQUENTLY. OIL PRESSURE FLAT-LINED IN JANUARY OF 2012 AND IT WAS TAKEN TO MY MECHANIC. THE SLUGS WERE CLEANED AND A NEW OIL PUMP WAS PLACED BECAUSE OF THE BUILD UP OF SLUGS. I WAS ADVISED TO CHANGE THE OIL FREQUENTLY TO CLEAN THE SLUG OUT BUT IT CONTINUED TO BUILD UP AND THE MYSTERY OF LOOSING COOLANT OIL PRESSURE HAS BOTTOMED OUT TWO MORE TIMES AND I FOUND A ARTICLE ON THE INTERNET THAT A NUMBER OF GMC VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE WERE BUILT WITH DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEADS DUE TO CRACKS OVER TIME WHICH ALLOWS COOLANT TO LEAK INTO ENGINE AND MIX WITH THE OIL WHICH BUILDS UP SLUG. I WANT TO KNOW WHY A RECALL DOES NOT EXIST. THIS HAS COST ME SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS....I NEED GMC TO MAN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT.*JB

I WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT AFTER GETTING GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAS SHORTAGE DURING THE MAJOR SNOW STORM IN THE NORTH EASTERN UNITED STATES. AS I WAS APPROACHING A LIGHT I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I THEN BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND WHEN IT WAS PLACED ON A LIFT THEY NOTICED THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WAS RUSTED INCLUDING THE BRAKE LINES. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. *JS
