SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LATE THIS AFTERNOON ON JULY 05, 2011 ON RT 589 IN PASCO COUNTY FL, I WAS COMING OFF THE EXIT TO A RED LIGHT AND I COULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND HOLD IT THERE IN ORDER TO STOP JUST SHORT OF THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE RIGHT LANE GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT THE SAME TIME. I PULLED OVER AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND NOTICED FLUID SQUIRTING OUT ABOVE THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE AREA. AFTER I MADE IT HOME I PULLED THE TIRE OFF AND LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICE TWO HEAVILY CORRODED LINES WHERE THE FLUID WAS COMING OUT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR WITHIN CITY, THE TRUCK DISPLAYS A WARNING "STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED, REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THE TRUCK WHILE IN MOTION LOWERS POWER AND BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD, UNABLE TO DRIVE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. FORCED TO PULL OVER AND IN ONE INSTANCE THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED WARNING. TO DATE THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED HOWEVER THE CONDITION RETURNED 1 WEEK LATER, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. AT THIS TIME A SOLUTION TO THE CONDITION HAS NOT PRESENTED ITSELF AND THE TRUCK IS QUITE DANGEROUS AS IT MAY SHUT DOWN OR REDUCE ITS ENGINE POWER DUE TO THIS DEFECT THAT GM IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I HAVE REPLACED 3 OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2007 YUKON DENALI DUE TO BREAKAGE. DRIVERS SIDE AND REAR DRIVERSIDE PASSENGER WITHIN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE FIRST ONE BROKE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TWO OTHERS WERE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. BESIDES THE EXPENSE, $200 EACH EVENT,THE INCONVENIENCE OF TAKING TIME OUT OF MY SCHEDULE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED IS FRUSTRATING. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2000 YUKON A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, AND WHILE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN NOT TWO MILES FROM OUR HOME, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME, AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER I AM INCREDIBLY WORRIED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, AND MY INFANT SON SITS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. NOT ONLY WOULD THE INCREDIBLY LOUD 'GUNSHOT' SOUND HAVE POSSIBLY DAMAGED HIS EARS, BUT THE SMOKY AFTERMATH THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE FOR BOTH CHILDREN'S LUNGS. AIRBAGS ARE AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE THAT IS UNPARALLELED WHEN THEY OPERATE CORRECTLY. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS FAULTY WIRING OR SENSORS IN THIS MODEL SUV FOR THE SIDE SEAT AIRBAG TO GO OFF NOT ONLY WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE REST OF THE VEHICLES AIRBAG SENSORS, BECAUSE I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SPONTANEOUSLY GO OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, HOWEVER IT WAS A SUNDAY AND WE WERE TOLD NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO HELP US. A VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, THE 21ST, AND MY HUSBAND RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE INSPECTOR LATER THAT NIGHT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INCIDENT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE INSPECTOR THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING A CALL FROM GMC WITH THE DETAILS AND OUTCOME OF THE INSPECTION. IT IS NOW THURSDAY THE 23RD, AND EVEN AFTER TWO PHONE CALLS I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. I HAVE NOW BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR TWELVE DAYS, AND STILL CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TRANSPORTING MY CHILDREN. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT GMC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REMEDYING THE PROBLEM AND ASSURING ME THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNDER ANY PREMATURE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR
