I HEARD MANY HORROR STORIES OF THESE TRUCKS AND HOW THEY TEND TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS. ONE BEING THE CRACKING DASHES ON THIS BODY STYLE VEHICLE. WELL AFTER MUCH THOUGHT INTO THE MATTER I CHOSE TO PURCHASE A TAHOE / YUKON. I SEARCHED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS GOING TO MANY DEALERSHIPS AND LOOKING AT MANY USED TRUCKS HUNTING FOR ONE WITHOUT AN EXISTING CRACKED DASH. EVERY SINGLE TAHOE / YUKON I LOOKED AT ON THE LOTS HAD CRACKED DASHES UNTIL I FOUND MY TRUCK THAT I PURCHASED WITHOUT A CRACKED DASH. I HOPPED ON IT AND BOUGHT IT THAT DAY. WITHIN 6 MONTHS MY DASH HAD THE NOTORIOUS AIR BAG CRACK THAT ALL THESE TRUCK GET I WENT TO A DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED AND WAS TURNED AWAY BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE FOR FULL PRICE. AFTER LEAVING VERY ANGRY I DEALT WITH THE ISSUE. A YEAR OR SO LATER MY DASH HAS CRACKED BEHIND THE GUAGE BEZEL. THIS TRUCK IS BARELY DRIVEN AND SITS UNDER COVER NOT IN DIRECT LIGHT WITH ONLY 58,000 MILES AND IS FALLING APART. CHEVY HAS COMPLETELY TURNED THEIR BACK ON THESE PROBLEMS AND IT IS AN OCCURRENCE IN 99% OF THESE VEHICLES. THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND SEND CUSTOMERS TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES AND IT ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT WE HAVE CAUSED. IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. YOU CAN GOOGLE 2007+ TAHOE YUKON DASH CRACK AND GET FLOODED WITH THOUSANDS OF ARTICLES AND PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND CHEVY HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. THERE IS FACEBOOK PAGES SETUP FOR THIS ISSUE ALSO THAT'S HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE IT IS. I AM TRYING TO GET THESE ISSUES FIXED FOR THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND WE CAN'T GET ANY HELP. IF YOU LOOK INTO THIS I PROMISE YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US AS WE FEEL THAT OUR SAFETY IS NOT IN GMS BEST INTEREST. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER STEPPING ON MY BRAKES AGGRESSIVELY TO STOP FOR A DOG CROSSING THE ROAD. I RECEIVED A BRAKE STABILITY NOTICE ON MY DASH. SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AFTER I PUMPED THE BRAKES, AND TRIED TO THROW THE CAR IN REVERSE TO REDUCE THE SPEED. I COASTED INTO A PARKED SUBARU ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BECAUSE OF THE REAR IMPACT THE SUBARU THAT I HIT PUSHED INTO TOYOTA HIGHLANDER IN FRONT OF IT. THEREFORE THREE CARS AFFECTED BY THE ACCIDENT. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THAT WAS THE WORST PART, I WOULD HAVE COASTED RIGHT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION ON MAIN STREET HAD I NOT STOPPED THE WAY THAT I DID. AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC HE MENTIONED THAT I POPPED TWO BRAKE LINES. *TR

2002 GMC YUKON SUFFERED MULTIPLE BRAKELINE FAILURES DUE TO CORROSION. REAR BRAKE LINES RUNNING ALONG THE AXLE WERE ORIGINALLY REPLACED UPON VISUAL INSPECTION. THE REAR MAIN LINE FROM THE ABS MODULATOR FAILED SHORTLY AFTER FROM A CORROSION INDUCED LEAK WHERE THE LINE PASSES OVER THE FUEL TANK. THE FRONT LINES WERE SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT AS A PRECAUTION BUT FAILED PRIOR TO REPAIR WHERE THE LINE PASSES OVER THE RADIATOR BRACE. ALL BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES SHOW SIGNIFICANT CORROSION DAMAGE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL IN ORILLIA ONTARIO CANADA, I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE THROUGH 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND AFTER NEARLY HITTING ANOTHER CAR IN A SERVICE STATION PARKING LOT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. MY BROTHER CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT ALL BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT OF A RUPTURED CORRODED BRAKE LINE NEXT TO THE ABS SENSOR UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
HAD TO STOP IN A HURRY ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT THE BRAKES, I BELIEVE THE ABS LOCKED UP AND I FISHTAILED FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT AND BACK TO THE LEFT AGAIN. ENGINE SHUTOFF AUTOMATICALLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS NEARLY CAUSED A MULTI CAR COLLISION WITH A POSSIBLE BRIDGE FLY AWAY AS WE WERE ON A BRIDGE AT THE TIME. LUCKILY THROUGH DEFENSIVE DRIVING WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND KEEP IT FROM HITTING ANYTHING OR ANYONE, HOWEVER NOW WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT THERE IS A SQUEAK AT EVERY ROTATION WHEN GOING SLOW. ALSO THE VEHICLE SLOWLY HESITATES COMING TO A STOP AND ABS WILL SOMETIMES START ENGAGING CAUSING NEAR COLLISIONS. *TR

I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND STARTED TO BRAKE AND THEN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD THE STAND ON IT TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

FLUID RESERVOIR WAS STILL FULL OF FLUID. THE LINE BROKE OUT UNDER THE CARRIAGE, FRONT DRIVER SIDE, JUST BEHIND THE FRONT WHEEL WELL. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE OF THE CORRODED LINES. *TR

ENGINE
UPON START UP OF VEHICLE, A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UPON INSPECTION, FOUND THAT THE LEFT REAR EXHAUST BOLT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD BROKEN OFF CAUSING EXHAUST LEAK. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE GM 6.0 LITER AND OTHER ENGINES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND ALSO CAUSES THE EMISSIONS CONTROLS OF THE ENGINE TO BE INOPERABLE. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES CAN AND DO INCLUDE; CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT FAILURE. *TR
