TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE ABS TRACTION CONTROL ON MY 2004 YUKON DENALI ACTIVATES ON DRY ROADS AND NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE ROAD, THE TRACTION CONTROL KICKED IN AND CUT POWER TO THE TRUCK. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

SEATS, AIR BAGS
TRAVELING AT NIGHT, AT 65 MILES AN HOUR IN A 2007 YUKON SLE2 4 DR WAGON, I HIT A STEER (APPROXIMATELY 880LBS). UPON IMPACT, THE BOTTOM OF MY POWER DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED FORWARD AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT TILTED FORWARD, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE DEALER, AND MY INSURANCE AGENT BOTH VERBALLY AND IN WRITING. THE VEHICLE HAD OVER $11,000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE, BUT THE REPAIR CENTER STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY DAMAGE TO THE SEAT. I TRADED THE VEHICLE IN, AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WITH THE SEAT NOT BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE IS NOW FOR SALE AGAIN, AND I AM FEARFUL THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE IN A WRECK AND THE SEAT WILL MALFUNCTION AGAIN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2001GMC YUKON DENALI - ABS BRAKES ENGAGE AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCES AT SLOW SPEEDS. THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS (66163) AND NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN (O5V-379000) FOR 2002+ CARS BUT NOT 2001. I BELIEVE THAT 2001 WAS THE MODEL YEAR CHANGEOVER WHERE SOME 2001S WERE OLD BODY STYLE AND SOME NEW. MINE IS THE NEWER STYLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS THEY CALL IS BROKEN. GMC KNOW OF THIS AND IT EFFECT THOUSAND OF VEHICLE THAT THEY MAKE. INCLUDING ENVOY, TAHOE, YUKON, AND DENALI. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING, IF MY TANK IS FULL OR EMPTY OR TEMPERATURE OR MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. I ALMOST BECAME A VICTIM, MY CLUSTER RECENTLY BECAME BROKEN AFTER AN ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE CUT OFF WITH ME NEXT TO A BIG RIG. I'M TRYING TO CONTROL A BIG SUBURBAN AND WITHOUT POWER FOR MY POWER STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS A [XXX] TO STEER. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE MY FUEL SAID 3/4 AND 15 MILES LATER I'M ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WONDERING WHY MY TRUCK WONT START. COME TO FIND OUT, I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH MT GAUGE STILL ON 3/4. NOW MY SPEED IS ERRATIC AND I HAVE NO CLUE HOW FAST I AM GOING IF IT WERE NOT FOR MY GPS UNIT. ANYWAY I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID ITS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IF I'M OVER 80,000 MILE THEY CANT HELP. [XXX] THE WARRANTY THIS IS A LAW SUIT WAITING TO BE FILED. ALL ITS GOING TO TAKE IS A POOR SOUL THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND FIND THEM SELF 6FT UNDER. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SEAT BELTS
MY 2007 GMC YUKON SEATBELTS IN 3RD ROW OF SEATS LOCKS UP WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. IF MY CHILD IS IN THEIR CARSEAT IT LOCKS THEM WHERE THEY CANT MOVE AND BREATH. THEY CRY AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON HIGHWAYS, ETC. TO UNLOCK SEATBELT ALL THE WAY BACK. EVEN UNHOOKING FROM THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. GMC REFERRED ME TO YOU ALL INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. SEEMS TO BE A SEATBELT DEFECT THAT NEEDS A RECALL FOR YUKONS. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I PURCHASED A SET OF BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TIRES FOR MY 1999 GMC YUKON. THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT AFTER I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 12 MILES SINCE THE NEW TIRE WAS INSTALLED AT THE DISCOUNT TIRE DEALERSHIP IN BURIEN WASHINGTON. THE TIRE WAS A C LOAD RATED TIRE, SIZE 265 16 R75. THE ENTIRE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BLEW OUT AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE SIDEWALL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BLOW OUT WITH THIS CHARACTERISTIC. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS EVENT AND IT OCCURRED ON A BAND NEW TIRE. THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THERE ARE LIKELY OTHER TIRES WITH THIS SAME DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON. AFTER HAVING A DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BURN OUT, I REMOVED THE LENS AND FOUND SIGNIFICANT CHARRING OF THE LIGHT BULB SOCKET. IT WAS BURNT SO BAD THAT IT MOSTLY CRUMBLED AS I TRIED TO REMOVE THE OLD BULB. I TOOK OFF THE OTHER SIDE TO CHECK IT, AND THE CONDITION OF THE SOCKET WAS THE SAME. THUS, BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SOCKETS WERE BURNT. THE EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE BULB ALSO DISTORTED AND RUINED BOTH OF MY LENSES ON THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THESE CARS HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH HEAT ON THESE LIGHT SOCKETS. I'M SHOCKED BY THIS, AND WONDER HOW MANY CAR FIRES HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY SPEEDOMETER FAILED ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR THIS FOR MODEL YEAR 2003-2006, BUT ONLY UP TO 80,000. I HAD 104,000 WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MY VEHICLE. IT COST ME $600 TO GET THIS DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE A LIMIT ON MILEAGE. NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. BY DRIVING TO SLOW, ONE CAN CAUSE OTHER DRIVERS TO ERRATICALLY PASS AND ZOOM BY YOU OR DRIVING TO FAST CAN CAUSE OTHER DRIVERS TO HURRIEDLY GET OUT OF YOUR WAY AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THIS IS MORE THAN LIKELY THE CAUSE OF A SPEEDING TICKET I GOT BACK IN MAY 2009. IT POSSIBLY WAS ACTING UP, BUT DIDN'T COMPLETELY FAIL UNTIL JULY 2009. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON AND THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (ECBM) HAS FAILED. THE ECBM IS THE FEATURE THAT CONTROLS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ON CARS AND TRUCKS. WITHOUT THE ECBM WORKING, A CAR/TRUCK WILL NOT HAVE ABS BRAKING, WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR STOPPING AND BRAKING, ESPECIALLY SINCE ALL NEW CARS HAVE THIS FEATURE AND MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE OTHERWISE. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC AND ALL GENERAL MOTORS TRUCKS FROM 2000 TO 2003 AND OTHER MODEL YEARS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE HAD THIS EBCM FAIL ON THEM. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PART AND FURTHER THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS $1,000, EXCLUDING LABOR. THIS EXORBITANT CHARGE IS COST PROHIBITIVE TO MOST PEOPLE AND IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURE. I FEEL LIKE THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AT NO COST TO CONSUMERS. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
