LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH MY HOOD FLEW UP AND CRASHED INTO MY WINDSHIELD. AFTER INVESTIGATING WHY... THE RIVETS PULLED OUT OF THE HOOD ALLOWING IT TO RELEASE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE NO HELP AT ALL. TURNED IT IN TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR REPAIRS. THIS IS REALLY HARD TO SWALLOW WHEN ITS NOT YOUR FAULT AND COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. I ALMOST CRASHED! *NM

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
REAR SIDE MIRROR ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE HAIRLINE CRACKS. THEY WERE REPLACED AND NOW THEY ARE BACK. THE HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE MIRROR DISTORTS VIEWS AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THE MIRRORS ARE TOO THIN TO HANDLE THE DEFROST OPTIONS ON THE MIRRORS. THEY SEEN TO FAIL ON THEIR OWN. *NM

STEERING
I AM WRITING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT MY RECURRING ISSUES WITH MY STEERING COLUMN IN MY 2002 YUKON XL. IN SHORT, IT RATTLES. ON THE ROAD, IT RATTLES AT A LOW THUD, THUD, THUD SOUND. TURNING CORNERS, IT RATTLES WITH THE SAME SOUND. INITIALLY, WHEN I TOOK IT TO BERGLUND CHEVROLET, IN ROANOKE, VA, THEY ATTEMPTED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITH A LUBE KIT. WHEN THE PROBLEM SURFACED AGAIN, I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED. 20,000 MILES LATER, I FACE THE PROBLEM FOR THE 3RD TIME. I DRIVE ON THE ROAD, NEVER OFF ROAD. I HAVE OWNED A NUMBER OF VEHICLES, AND ALWAYS HOLD ON TO THEM UNTIL THEY EXCEED 150,000 MILES. NEVER HAVE I HAD TO REPLACE ONE STEERING COLUMN, IN ANY VEHICLE, AND I OBVIOUSLY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A VEHICLE REQUIRING MORE THAN ONE. I HAVE LEARNED FROM GMC THAT THERE WAS A FIRST GENERATION FIX AND A SECOND-GENERATION FIX. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHICH GENERATION I GOT, BUT I DO KNOW IT WAS NOT A FIX. AFTER SOME ARGUING, THE FIRST REPAIR WAS COVERED. THE SECOND WAS COVERED, AS WELL, BUT ONLY AFTER ARGUING ONCE MORE. IT SEEMS PERFECTLY CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED AGAIN, AT NO COST TO ME, BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A SATISFACTORY REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM '' A PROBLEM ACKNOWLEDGED BY GMC AS NEEDING TO BE REMEDIED. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT GOT THE STEERING COLUMN SOLUTION THAT WORKS. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS. NO ONE SHOULD EXPECT TO REPLACE A STEERING COLUMN ON A VEHICLE EVERY 20,000 MILES. IT IS NOT A FILTER OR FLUID THAT NEEDS CHANGING AT INTERVALS, AND I REFUSE TO HAVE THIS TREATED AS IF IT WERE REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF A UNIT THAT WEARS OUT SO QUICKLY, AND AM VERY DISTURBED BY THE COMPLACENCY OF GMC ABOUT SUBJECTING ME TO CONTINUOUS REPAIRS, AND APPARENTLY HIDING BEHIND POLICIES RATHER THAN DOING THE RIGHT THING WITH A CUSTOMER. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2001 YUKON XL SUV WITH 81182 MILES ON IT. TRANSMISSION MADE A POPPING SOUND (NO FORWARD GEARS, BUT REVERSE GEARS). SUV HAS UPGRADED TRANSMISSION THAT HAD A SUPPOSEDLY BETTER MODEL "FRONT PLANET" PART PER GMC TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THAT SUPPOSEDLY SUPERIOR "FRONT PLANET" SPLIT INTO (2) PARTS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION ALTHOUGH IT IS ONE MOLDED PIECE. RESULTING EXPLOSION OF METAL CAUSED A $2703.52 TRANSMISSION REBUILD. I HAVE THE DIGITAL PHOTOS AND THE ACTUAL FAILED PARTS!*JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. WHEN PUTTING GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND FILLING IT UP THE GAS SPILLED OUT UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK. THE CONTACT HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT PARTY FOR SERVICE. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS AT THIS POINT. ALSO, ABS SYSTEM FAILED. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR GOING TO STOP THE ABS IS ENGAGED AT ANY SPEED. THE CONTACT CALLED GM, AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND HAD THE WHEEL SENSOR REPLACED. THAT HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. GENERAL MOTORS WAS CONTACTED OVER THE PROBLEMS, THEY SAID THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED AT THIS TIME. GM DID TOLD THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD GIVE HIM A COUPON FOR A NEW 2006 VEHICLE.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD BECOME INCREASINGLY HARD TO PUSH OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS. FINALLY, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ABS PUMP RAN CONTINUALLY, HEATING THE FLOOR PAN OF THE VEHICLE. I REMOVED THE ABS FUSE TO STOP THE PUMP. THIS IN TURN HAS DISABLED THE ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT SEEMS THE REPAIR FROM GM IS VERY EXPENSIVE ($1100) AND USES THE SAME VERSION OF A COMMONLY FAILING PART THAT MIGHT ONLY LAST ANOTHER 40-50K MILES. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:FOG LIGHTS
THE FOG RUNNING LIGHT ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE HAS BEEN OUT SINCE 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF OUR VEHICLE. IRONICALLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SAME LIGHT IS OUT ON A GREAT NUMBER OF THE TAHOE'S & YUKON'S THAT I SEE ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY FLAW ON THIS MODEL YET IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE BULB BUT THE LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. *JB
