VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPER'S MALFUNCTION AND WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND A RECALL FOR MANY CHEVROLET'S AND GM'S. FOR WHATEVER REASON, 1999 GMC'S ARE NOT INCLUDED. I PERSONALLY KNOW OF THREE OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1991. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP SINCE VIN IS NOT ON LIST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. *AK

STEERING
AT SPEED, 20+MPH, THE STEERING WILL GO OUT FOR A SECOND OR 2 AS IF IT IS ON ICE. I HAVE NOTICED A RECALL ON 98 GMC YUKONS,(#97V142000), BUT NOT ON 97'S. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD BE MY STEERING BOX. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION. STEERING WILL BE LOST IF STEERING BOX FAILS COMPLETELY, WHICH IN TURN CAUSES ACCIDENTS. *NM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
I RENTED A 2005 GMC YUKON FROM ENTERPRISE AT THE SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. AIRPORT LOCATION. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY 101 NORTHBOUND OVER CUESTA GRADE ON THE DECENT OF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE GRADE THE HOOD POPPED OPEN, FORTUNATELY THE ADDITIONAL LATCH CAUGHT THE HOOD THUS PREVENTING THE HOOD FROM FLYING BACK AND SMASHING THE WINDSHIELD. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THAT MOMENT AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SECURE THE HOOD. I DETERMINED THAT THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER LOCATED NEAR THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS AREA HAS VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE AND IS FAR TO EASY TO RELEASE. I HAD BEEN LISTENING TO THE RADIO, TAPPING MY LEFT FOOT AROUND AND WITHOUT KNOWING IT I HAD CAUGHT THE HOOD RELEASE WITH MY FOOT AND POPPED THE HOOD OPEN. I FEEL THAT AN AFTER MARKET REPAIR COULD BE MADE BY CREATING A ATTACHABLE FLAP STYLE DOOR THAT WOULD COVER THE RELEASE LATCH UNTIL IT WAS ACTUALLY NEEDED. I ALLERTED THE RENTAL AGENCY OF THE DEFECT AND ADVISED THEM NOT TO RENT THAT VEHICLE OUT UNTIL A CORRECTION TO THAT DEFECT HAD BEEN COMPLETED. I ASKED THAT THEY PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO THE COMPANY AND THAT THEY LET GMC KNOW AS WELL. THANK YOU, HILY GREENE. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEAD LIGHT FLICKER WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING OR GOING OVER BUMPS. APPEARS TO MAKE DRIVERS THINK I AM FLASHING MY HIGH BEAMS. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, NOT ONLY TO ME BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE AHEAD OF ME. DEALER WAS NOT VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PROBLEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS NOT AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE AT NIGHT. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO MY ABS SYSTEM STARTED TO ENGAGE ON DRY PAVEMENT. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND THE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR, INCREASING BRAKING DISTANCE. IN ONE INSTANCE MY WIFE WAS PARKING AND THE ABS ENGAGED AND THE YUKON RAN INTO THE CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T STOP. THE ABS USUALLY ENGAGES IN THE LAST 5 TO 20 FOOT OF BRAKING AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMEDIATE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND PRIVATE SHOPS AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM.*AK
