EQUIPMENT
AFTER ENGINE IS WARMED UP, USUALLY AFTER DRIVING JUST A FEW MILES, THERE IS A LOUD BANGING NOISE THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE MUFFLER. IT HAPPENS APPROX EVERY 8-12 SECONDS WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING OR OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HEAR IT, ALTHOUGH THE SALES MANAGER THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE HEARD IT. THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK LATER AND THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT BUT GMC HAS NOT RELEASED THE PARTS SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT EVEN IF THEY DID HEAR IT. WHEN I AM SITTING NEXT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, FOR EXAMPLE AT A LIGHT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS HITTING THEIR VEHICLE AND IS COMING FROM MINE. WITH ROAD RAGE BEING WHAT IT IS THESE DAYS I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THAT GMC HAS "NOT RELEASED THE PARTS" TO FIX IT.*AK

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
INTERMITTEN DROP IN STEERING TO THE RIGHT, MOSTLY DURING CORNERS. ABOUT A QUARTER TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WAS TOLD TO ME BY A MECHANIC THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS AND THERE IS ONLY ONE PART FROM THE DEALER DEALING WITH IT. NO AFTERMARKET ITEM. IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT IT IS A SPEED SENSOR ON THE STEERING COLUMN THAT GOVERNS THE SPEED SENSOR FOR THE POWER STEERING. DURNING A TURN AT ALMOST ANY SPEED, THE STEERING DROPS OUT A QUARTER OF A TURN. QUITE A SHOCK TO SOMEONE DOING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY FREEWAY.

SEATS
FAILURE OF DRIVER SEAT MOUNTING ON THE WINDOW SIDE. *MR THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THE MOUNTING HOLES, ONE ON EACH CORNER OF THE SEAT, WERE RETROFITTED ON THE WINDOW-SIDE (FRONT & REAR) BY SPOT WELDING A THREADED WASHER ABOUT THREE INCHES TO THE RIGHT OF THE CORNER HOLES TO FACILITATE MOUNTING OF THE SEAT TO THE RAIL ON THE FLOORBOARD. THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN CAUSED METAL FATIGUE SURROUNDING THE SPOT-WELDED WASHERS, RESULTING IN THE SEAT BREAKING LOOSE. *SC *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
WHEN MY 2004 GMC YUKON WARMS UP, A LOUD REPETITIVE CLANGING NOISE EMINATES FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS CAN BE HEARD WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUES FOR A PERIOD AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE YUKON WAS PURCHASED NEW ON 5/31/04 AND BEGAN MAKING THE NOISE WITHIN 500 MILES. GMC SAYS ENGINEERING HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE PROBLEM SINCE 11/03 AND IT INVOLVES METAL IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BEING DEFORMED BY THE HEAT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER YUKON OWNERS AND MADE A POINT TO LISTEN TO OTHER YUKONS ON THE ROAD AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANOTHER YUKON EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. GMC REFUSES TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IF THE METAL IS DEFORMED, HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT LEAKING FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT?

MOREOVER, MORE RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THE RANDOM WINDOW BLOW-OUT IN MY CARGO AREA. NOT TO MENTION THE THROTTLE STICKING. THIS IS UNREAL, WHAT A NIGHTMARE, CUTE TO DRIVE HORRIBLE TO OWN!*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD TO CHANGE LANES THROUGH TRAFFIC AND STOP ON THE SHOULDER BECAUSE I HAD NO VISIBILITY. THIS SAME EVENT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT. MY HUSBAND OWN A DIFFERENT GMC VECHILE THAT WAS RECALLED DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE 1998 YUKON WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD ADDRESS. THIS DEFECT IS PUTTING ALOT OF PEOPLE IN DANGER AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT GM IS AWARE OF IT.*AK

BROKEN WIPER MOTOR, WILL NOT BE COVERED BY GMC OR DEALER DUE TO ITS A 1997 AND HAS 110K MILES. IT HAPPEND DURING A RAIN STORM AND I WAS STRANDED BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR AN HOUR. NOW I CANT DRIVE IN THE RAIN, AND THEY WANT 200 BUCKS TO FIX IT. WHY IS IT NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL? I CALLED GMC AND HAVE RECORD NUMBER 1-239-630035. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
GM HAS AN ANTI-THEFT DEVICE CALLED A PASSLOCK. THE SYSTEMS SEEMS TO BE FAULTY ON A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF THEIR VEHICLES. IT MAKES THE AUTO NOT START AND MAYBE EVEN SOMETIMES DIE WHILE RUNNING. I'M QUITE CONCERNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ENGINE FAILING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $400 - $500 TO FIX IT.*AK
