POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
MY 2000 YUKON HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE STALLING DURING BRAKING AND TURNS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2001 WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. THE PROBLEM IS NOW SEVERE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MORE TIMES THAN YOU AND I HAVE FINGERS AND TOES. I CANNOT TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NOR CAN I FIND A MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP (HA HA ) THAT CAN FIND OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE INTAKE MOTOR OR THE INTAKE GASKET NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT DIAGNOSTICS CANNOT BACK THESE THEORIES UP. TODAY I NEARLY HIT A TELEPHONE POLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DIED AND LOST POWER STEERING WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN. *AK

PARKING BRAKE
PARKING BRAKE ISSUE. I OCCASIONALLY NOTICED A SCRAPING NOISE COMING SOMEWHERE FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE SERVICING DEALER PULLED THE REAR BREAK ROTOR OFF TO INSPECT THE PARKING BRAKE. THEY FOUND THAT THE PAD HAD WORN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE METAL AND THAT THE NOISE I WAS HEARING WAS THE REMENANTS OF THE SHOE, THE LINER, SCRAPING AGAINST THE DRUM. THE DEALER MAINTAINED THAT I MUST BE DRIVING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. I MAINTAINED THAT WAS NOT TRUE, THAT THERE MUST BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH SOME OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS CAUSING THE UNINTENDED ENGAGING OF THE PARKING BRAKE SHOE AND THE DRUM. I CONTACTED GMC DIRECTLY A SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO MAINTAINED THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT WANT TO SIMPLY REPLACE ALL THE PARKING BRAKE AND DRUM AS I FELT THERE WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND THAT MY ISSUE WOULD BE RECURRING. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE BRAKE SHOE LINER COULD EVENTUALLY WEAR OUT THE DRUM AND POSSIBLE CAUSE A CRASH. HOWEVER, I AM NOT ABLE TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR. SUBSEQUENTLY, AFTER RESEARCHING THE NHTSA SITE, I FOUND GMC'S SERVICE BULLETIN, NHTSA # 10000172 DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM AND THE RECOMMENDED FIX, WHICH WAS REPLACING A PART WITH A "NEWLY DESIGNED PART ( A TENSION SPRING)! THE SERVICE BULLETIN DID NOT STATE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY DRIVERS DRIVING THEIR CARS WITH THEIR PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. I BELIEVE THAT ENOUGH OWNERS COMPLAINED AND GMC REALIZED THAT IT WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM. THE BULLENTIN COVERS SERVAL GM MODELS. AGAIN, THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE NOISE CAUSED BY THE SCRAPING, BUT THE POTENTIAL ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE BRAKE SHOE LINER EVENTUALLY WEARING THRU THE PARKING BRAKE DRUM POSSIBLE CAUSING THE ROTOR TO SEPERATE. THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A LOSS OF CONTROL OR SUDDEN STOP PROBABLY WOULD TAKE PLACE. I THINK THAT COULD BE VERY SERIOUS AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON. THIS CONDITION ONLY OCCURS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH AND WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR MAKING A CURVE. THIS CONDITION IS NOT ONLY DISTRACTING, BUT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH NO OTHER AMBIENT LIGHT I AM UNABLE TO SEE ADEQUATELY AHEAD OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD DRIVERS AHEAD OF ME PULL OVER THINKING THAT I WAS FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM AND OTHER DRIVERS GET IRATE BELIEVING THAT I AM "BRIGHT LIGHTING THEM". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD ON THE DENALI'S WITH STABILITRAK. GM STATES THAT THIS CONDITION IS "NORMAL". I BELIEVE THAT HEADLIGHTS ARE MEANT TO BURN STEADY AND NOT FLICKER OFF AND ON. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS WITH THE AUTO MANUFACTURER TO MANDATE A FIX BEFORE THERE ARE INJURIES ATTRIBUTED TO THIS CONDITION.*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON VARIOUS AREAS OF MY YUKON. THIS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BARELY FIVE YEARS OLD AND GETS WORSE AND WORSE. I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE THE MANY GMC'S ON THE ROAD THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING. NOT A VERY APPEALING REPRESENTATION OF THESE VEHICLES WHEN CHUNKS OF PAINT ARE MISSING. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RESOLUTION TO THE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PAINT JOB?
