SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
ON JUNE 28, 2006 WHILE LOOKING AT A GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION 2007 YUKON, WITH A RETRACTABLE MIDDLE SEAT. I HAD THE PASSENGER'S REAR DOOR OPENED LOOKING INSIDE AT THE INTERIOR. THE SALESMAN, WITHOUT LOOKING WHERE I WAS, PUSHED THE TOP CONSOLE BUTTON ABOVE THE FRONT SEATS WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO QUICKLY AND VERY HARD TO RETRACT, STRIKING THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK, TEMPORALLY STUNNING ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS OPTION THAT COULD SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE NOT KNOWING HOW FAST AND HARD THIS OCCURS. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY SAFETY FEATURE THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE A SMALL CHILD OR INFANT WAS IN THE SEAT AND SOMEONE ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED THE BUTTON. *JB

PARKING BRAKE
UPON MOVING TO HOUSTON, I HAD AN INSPECTION PERFORMED ON MY 2001 GMC YUKON. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PARKING BRAKE HAD BECOME ENGAGED, EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT EVEN USE IT, AND DESTROYED MY REAR LEFT ROTOR, BRAKE PADS, AND EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS. IN ADDITION TO REPLACING THE ROTOR AND ALL BRAKE PADS ON THE REAR LEFT, I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKE PADS ON THE RIGHT REAR REPLACED AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME WITH NO REAR BRAKE PADS OR EMERGENCY BRAKE. IN OTHER WORDS, HAD I PARKED MY CAR ON AN INCLINE AND USED THE PARKING BRAKE, IT WOULD NOT HOLD MY CAR. I ALSO HAD NO REAR BRAKES IF MY FRONT BRAKES HAD FAILED. I HAVE READ FORUMS ONLINE AND HAVE DISCOVERED THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OTHER 2001 YUKON OWNERS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2001 AND HAVE HAD NO NEED FOR MY PARKING BRAKE. THE TOTAL DAMAGES WERE OVER $500 AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AS THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN AND IF THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATES ITSELF. THE INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND THE PARKING BRAKE IS FULLY DISENGAGED. *JB

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A SQUEALING NOISE THAT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. DURING A NORMAL MAINTENANCE SERVICE, THE SERVICE DEALER DETERMINED THE SQUEALING NOISE WAS NORMAL. ON APRIL 4, AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH THE DEALER REGARDING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE VENT SOLENOID HAD FAILED INTERNALLY AND THE VENT SOLENOID AND BRACKET PARTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT UNTIL WORK COULD BE PERFORMED THE CAR WAS DRIVEABLE. ON APRIL 5TH, THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON WET ROADS, THE BRAKES FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MANUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE HIT A POLE AND SLIDE INTO A DITCH. DURING THE ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALL OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING SEATBELTS HOWEVER INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE CONTACTS HAD LOWER BACK INJURIES. AN MRI WAS PERFORMED SHOWING A DISLOCATED DISK TO THE LOWER BACK. OTHER INJURIES OCCURRED TO TWO OTHER PASSANGERS AGES 12 AND 7; MINOR HEAD INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND ACCIDENT REPORT WAS PROCESSED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. ADDITIONAL REPAIRS STILL NEED TO BE MADE TO BRAKES AND AIRBAGS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
FUEL PUMP FUSE BLOWS DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. NOT SURE OF EXACT SPEED. I BELIEVE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 TO 65 MILES PER HOUR. BLEW FOUR TIMES. PROBLEM ONCE PER MILE. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK THE STREET THE REST OF THE WAY AND THE FUSE DID NOT BLOW. HAVE NOT BEEN TO A MECHANIC YET EXCEPT FOR MY DAD AND WE BOTH AGREED THAT IT WAS WEIRD THAT THE FUSE KEPT BLOWING. FYI WHEN THE FUSE BLEW THE ENGINE JUST STALLED AND I COASTED TO THE EDGE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START EITHER UNTIL THE FUSE WAS REPLACED. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
1995 YUKON FUEL AND BRAKE LINES WERE DIAGNOSED AS HAVING POTENTIAL RUST. *TS A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THE BRAKE LINES NEAR THE MASTER CYLINDER RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. THE FUEL LINES ON TOP OF THE SENDING UNIT ALSO RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. *NM THE BRAKES LOCKED UNEXPECTEDLY AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT REAR LOWER BRAKE ANCHOR WAS SHEARING OFF THE BACKING PLATE, GOING TO ONE SIDE, CONSEQUENTLY ALLOWING THE BRAKE SHOES TO ENGAGE WITHOUT BRAKE PRESSURE. UPDATED 03/09/06. *JB *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI. I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER AND HORN ARE INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT. I CAN DRIVE THE TRUCK ONE DAY AND IT'S FINE AND LATER THAT DAY OR DURING ANOTHER DRIVE, THE HORN WILL NOT WORK AND THE SPEEDOMETER WITH EITHER DO A 'JUMPING' MOTION OR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CRASHES TO DATE. I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE DENALI BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HORNS ON THE SIERRA TRUCKS...*NM

SEAT BELTS WERE IN USE BY ALL 3 OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED TO THE DRIVER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WERE ON SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THE ABS LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V37900, REGARDING THE SERVICE BRAKES, ANTILOCK. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

STEERING:COLUMN
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING SHAFT WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL JANUARY 2005. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED THERE IS A POPPING AND GRINDING NOSE. THERE IS ALSO AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SHAFT WAS GREASED. THIS DID NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE SHAFT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NHTSA RECALL INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START PERIODICALLY WHILE IT IS RAINING OR THE HUMIDITY IS VERY HIGH. DURING THIS TIME, THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL BLINK AND YOU MUST WAIT A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL START AGAIN. THERE HAS BEEN ONE CASE WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED DURING DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER (STEERING, BRAKES, ETC). THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND OUT WHY THIS WAS OCCURRING. THE KEY CYLINDER WAS REPLACED BASED ON A "PASSLOCK" ERROR CODE IN THE ECU. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE VISITED MANY WEBSITES AND FOUND THIS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET AND GMC SUVS AND ACROSS MANY YEARS OF PRODUCTION. *JB

VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE
THE 2007 GMC YUKON (& CHEVROLET TAHOE) HAVE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE / PROBLEM. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO READ IN DAYTIME (SUNNY) CONDITIONS. MOST OF THE TIME DURING DAYTIME/SUNNY CONDITIONS YOU CAN NOT JUST GLANCE AT THE INSTRUMENTS TO READ THEM. YOU HAVE TO DIVERT YOUR ATTENTION FOR 2 OR MORE SECONDS TO READ EVEN THE SPEEDOMETER (WHICH IS THE EASIEST TO READ). ALL INSTRUMENTS HAVE BLACK FACES WITH WHITE MARKINGS WHICH ARE LEGIBLE DAY AND NIGHT. THE DAYTIME VISUAL RECOGNITION PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY TWO CONDITIONS. 1) RED POINTERS THAT DO NOT CONTRAST SUFFICIENTLY WITH THE BLACK FACE, AND 2) DASH COWLING SHADING/GLARE PROBLEMS. THE TOP LEFT (OIL PRESSURE) AND TOP RIGHT (VOLTMETER) GAUGES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ. THE BOTTOM RIGHT (COOLANT TEMP) IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. THE BOTTOM LEFT (FUEL) IS DIFFICULT TO VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. THE TWO LARGE CENTER GAUGES (TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER) ARE DIFFICULT TO READ. THE TIME / ATTENTION REQUIRED TO READ THESE GAUGES PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE YOU ARE FORCED TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR FAR TO LONG (OR TO KEEP REPEATING LOOKS TO CHECK YOUR SPEED / FUEL STATUS. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 GMC YUKON AND MADE A ROAD TRIP OF 3000 MILES. TWO DRIVERS HAD SIMILAR VISUAL RECOGNITION PROBLEMS DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. I GAVE UP EVEN TRYING TO READ THE OTHER GAUGES. IF YOU WEAR SUNGLASSES YOU HAVE TO LIFT THEM TO TRY TO READ THE GAUGES. THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO (HAVE TO DO) TO LESSEN THE VISUAL RECOGNITION PROBLEM. 1) TURN ON THE LIGHTS (PROVIDES MINIMAL DASH ILLUMINATION), 2) CLOSE THE SUNROOF SHADE (REDUCES GLARE), AND 3) PLACE YOU HAND ABOVE YOUR EYES AS A SHIELD (REDUCES GLARE). I HAVE TALKED TO THE GM DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD INCREASE ILLUMINATION ON THE DASH LIGHTING. (THAT WOULD STILL MEAN I WOULD HAVE TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS DURING THE DAY.) BOTTOM LINE - THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING - THEY CAN'T RE-ENGINEER GM'S PRODUCT. *JB

STEERING
STEERING HAS BECOME ERRATIC. WHEN TURNING, THE RATIO OF WHEEL TURN TO STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT VARIES, INCREASING GREATLY AT APPROX. "2 O'CLOCK" TO THE RIGHT THUS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VEER UNEXPECTEDLY IN THE DIRECTION OF THE INITIAL TURN. NOW IT IS HAPPENING WHILE TURNING LEFT ALSO BUT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO THE RIGHT. *JB
