TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT NOTICED A LEAK UNDER THE HOOD OF HIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE HYDRO BOOST FAILED. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY $861 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THAT HE COULD HAVE RUN OUT OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE FLUID, AND THE SEAL FAILED AND WAS LEAKING. THE FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE FLUIDS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE INABILITY TO BRAKE. THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING ARE ONE UNIT. A GMC REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT HE WOULD CALL THE CONTACT IN 24 HOURS TO DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL PAY FOR THE PARTS OR A PORTION OF THE REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,498 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,448.

I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI AND AT 43,000 MILES, ONLY 3 YEARS OLD (IF THAT) IN AUGUST OF 2006, MY SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED ONE DAY BUT ONLY AFTER STICKING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS ON 20-30 MPH. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $435 TO FIX IT; BUT, I REFUSED BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I BOUGHT IT IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND OUT I WAS NOT ALONE IN OWNING A GM DEFECT, AS WELL AS, GM'S KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DEFECT SINCE AT LEAST 2003 IF NOT LONGER. THIS SHOWS A FLAGRANT DISREGARD FOR OUR SAFETY AND A VOLUNTARILY DECEITFUL ACT ON GMC'S BEHALF THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS HAS CAUSED INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. BOTH AT LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEED. DURING A STOP FROM 60 MPH TO A STOPPED CONDITION, ABS CAUSED BRAKING TO BE REDUCED FROM ABOUT 45 MPH DOWN. MINOR REAR END COLLISION RESULTED. ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS, ABS HAS RELEASED BRAKING WHEN VEHICLE HAS GONE OVER A BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT, CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO CAMPAIGN #05V379000. WHY HAS THE 99 GMC BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL? DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED - YET. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE ON MY 2005 YUKON DENALI. NEEDLE GETS STUCK AND WONT RETURN TO NORMAL POSITION. AUTO MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLING SPEEDOMETERS IN CARS FOR OVER 100 YEARS. VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 50,000 MILES. GMC WONT RECALL BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED, BUT YET 03-05 WERE RECALLED IN THE SAME MODEL. I FEEL THIS CREATES A COSTLY REPAIR PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE ON SUCH NEW VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE PART OF A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI SYSTEM STABILIZATION DISABLED WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES IN THE CAR COMPUTER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT STILL NO ERROR CODES. ONSTAR RUNS DIAGNOSTICS AND REPORTS NO ERRORS AND TELLS ME TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. THIS FIRST OCCURRED IN DECEMBER WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, NOW SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND IT STILL IS COMING ON. I AM WORKING WITH GMC CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT TO DATE THEY ARE SAYING THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES. I HAVE ASKED THEM IF THE TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT THEY CANNOT ASSURE ME THAT IT IS. THEY REFUSE TO DOCUMENT ANYTHING IN WRITING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE TRUCK. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS NOR INJURIES, BUT I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THE STABILIZATION SYSTEM WAS MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND IT MUST BE OPERATIONAL. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE TO INSURE THE TRUCK IS SAFE? WHY CAN'T THEY REPLACE COMPUTER MODULES UNTIL THERE IS A RESOLUTION? THE TRUCK DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST 35 MONTHS I OWNED IT, DRIVING THE SAME EXACT ROADS THAT THE WARNING FLASHES ON NOW. *TR
