ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO ACT ERRATIC, THEN COMPLETELY FAILED AT 60 MPH...EVEN WHEN STOPPED. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT LONGER RESPONSIVE AND UNRELIABLE FOR SAFE TRAVEL. GM OWES THE PUBLIC A RECALL NOTICE, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, A 500 DOLLAR FIX. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2001 GMC YUKON SUV. THE ABS CONTROLLER MODULE WENT OUT AT 22,K MILES AND COST $1900 TO REPLACE. AT A GMC DEALER AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. THIS WEEK AT ~45K MILES IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND COST $1750 AT A LOCAL GARAGE. SOME THING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WHEN TWO SUCH MODULES FAIL IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. THERE IS A VERY DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE HERE. I AM A VERY CONSERVATIVE SAFE DRIVER BUT HAVE LEARNED ON THE INTERNET THAT SUCH FAILURES ARE COMMON. A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED OF GENERAL MOTORS! *TR

SEATS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. WHILE REMOVING THE THIRD ROW SEAT FROM THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF THE PART USED TO PROPERLY LATCH THE SEAT TO THE FLOORBOARD FAILED. WITHOUT THIS PIECE, THE SEAT IS DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HE MUST PURCHASE THE WHOLE PART RATHER THAN THE PIECE THAT FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

STEERING
PROBLEMS WITH STEERING KNUCKLE/COLUMN SINCE PURCHASE. DEALER WELL AWARE OF ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM. STEERING PART WAS REPLACED WHICH ONLY SOLVED PROBLEM WITH LOOSENESS AND NOISE TEMPORARILY. SECOND REPAIR "EXERCISED" THE STEERING KNUCKLE WHICH WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND NOISE, KNOCKING WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL OR GOING OVER BUMPY TERRAIN. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
I VERY RARELY USE MY REAR GLASS HATCH OF MY 2004 YUKON, BUT RECENTLY WHEN HAVING TO LOAD UP MY YUKON TO EVACUATE HURRICANE GUSTAV. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT, I HEARD A LOAD POP AND NOTICED THAT THE LEFT REAR GLASS HINGE HAD BROKEN UP. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY HAVE THE REPLACEMENT IN STOCK, BUT SINCE THEY DO NOT DEEM IT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I FIND THIS SHOCKING SINCE THEY KNOW THAT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY KEEP THIS ITEM IN STOCK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CHARGE YOU $900 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE BRAKE LINES ON MY SUV. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED, THE BREAKS FELT A LITTLE SOFT UPON BRAKING. TOOK IT IN TO THE SHOP FOR EVALUATION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES FROM THE ABS TO THE REAR BREAKS HAD RUPTURED. THIS OCCURRED AT 54,444 MILES ON AUG 16, 2007. APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED, BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES FELT SPONGY. TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES FROM THE ABS TO THE FRONT BRAKES HAD RUPTURED THIS TIME. THIS HAPPENED ON 3/28/08 AND 58,921 MILES. ALL LINES WERE FABRICATED AND REPLACED. I HAVE HAD NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS SINCE THE REPAIR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WE PURCHASED OUR GMC DENALI USED IN JULY 2007. IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR I NOTICED SOMETIMES THAT WHEN I WOULD LOOK AT THE SPEEDOMETER IT WOULD SAY THAT I WAS DOING ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN I KNEW THAT I WAS NOT GOING THAT SPEED. I WAS KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55MPH. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICED THAT THE SPEED ODOMETER WOULD SAY I WAS NOT MOVING AT ALL THAT MY SPEED WAS 0, AND I WOULD BE DRIVING AT THE TIME. THEN IN JULY OF THIS YEAR WE WERE COMING BACK FROM A FAMILY DAY TRIP AND WE WERE PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING. THE OFFICER INFORMED US THAT WE WERE GOING ABOUT 55 WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 40. ACCORDING TO THE SPEED ODOMETER WE WERE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE I AM EITHER GO NO SPEED AT ALL OR THE SPEED ODOMETER STARTS GOING CRAZY OR GETS STUCK AT 40MPH. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FINE ANY RECALL ON THIS MATTER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
MY 2000 YUKON'S FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING OUR FAMILY ON HWY 94 EAST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE STATION WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE APPROX. 20 FAILED FUEL PUMP MODULES AND ASSURED ME THAT THEY WILL INSTALL THE UPGRADED PUMP THAT DOES NOT "BURN" WHEN THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH LOW FUEL LEVEL!!! I GOOGLED THE FAILURE AND CAME TO YOUR RECALL 05V155000 AND THE GM 05027 BUT GMC DOES NOT HONOR IT FOR MY VIN NUMBER??? WHAT IS SURPRISING IS THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE NEW PUMP FROM THE DEALER THEY HAD THE "UPGRADED" ACDELCO ONE ON THE SELF BUT OTHER THAN THAT I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM ACCORDING TO OUR VIN NUMBER!!! SO I THOUGHT THAT IF EVERY GMC OWNER REPORTS HERE MAYBE THEY WILL GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER THERE IN GM AND INSTALL SOMETHING OF A BETTER QUALITY FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THEIR $40K VEHICLES!!! A VERY UPSET BUT LOYAL GM OWNER. *TR

UPON COMPLETING A 400 MILE VACATION, I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME, WHILE PULLING A LARGE CAMPER, AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED, GOOD THING I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST GM. DEALER AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE PUMP SHAFT SHEARED IN TWO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 GMC YUKON. IT FIRST STARTED WITH MY RADIO CUTTING ON AND OFF. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE WARNING LIGHT COME ON ALERTING ME THAT I HAVE AN OPEN HOOD, UNLOOSEN FUEL CAP,AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND REMAINED ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS. LATELY THE ALARM HAS BEEN GOING OFF 5 TIMES TO DATE. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS GETTING ME ANYWHERE. I HAVE DELIVERED IT TO THEM THREE TIMES AND HAVE HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT TWICE. TODAY WAS THE THIRD TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOANER CAR AND TO RETURN ON WED. 8.27.08 . THEY DID NOT WRITE UP THAT I WAS THERE TODAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT THE NEXT TIME A DUMMY LIGHT GOES OFF I ONLY HOPE THAT IT ISN'T SOMETHING SERIOUS SINCE ALL THE ISSUES SEEM TO BE A "BOY CRYING WOLF". *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE COOLING FAN IS VERY LOUD AND STAYS ON FOR AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF TIME WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK OR AT A STOP WHILE ON ONLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS OVER 85 DEGREES. THE FAN WILL CONTINUE TO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES. SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHUT OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. HAD IT FOR REPAIR ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT GMC AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IS WAS NORMAL. *TR
