POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
WE PURCHASED A 2003 GMC YUKON. BEFORE IT HAD REACHED 3000 MILES THE NEUTRAL LIGHT CAME ON ON THE 4X4 UNIT. FROM THERE IT WOULD SHIFT ITSELF INTO 4 LOW. WE HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE REPLACED ONE OF THE COMPONENTS 3 TIMES, TWO OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS ONCE. AFTER THE SECON D REPLACEMENT IT STARTED SHOWING NEUTRAL AGAIN ON THE 4X4 UNIT. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE PROBLEMS DO NOT ARISE UNTIL AFTER 1000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE UNITS. WE ARE TRYING TO DO A BUY BACK BUT GM IS DRAGGING THINGS OUT AND GIVING US A HARD TIME.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ABS PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN WITH IGNITION SWITCH OFF. HAD TO REMOVE FUSE TO ABS SYSTEM TO STOP THE PUMP. NOW, CANNOT DETERMINE IF BRAKE SYSTEM HAS A FAILURE BECAUSE THE BRAKE INDICATOR STAYS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE THE ABS FUSE IS REMOVED. BRAKE SYSTEM AND ABS SYSTEM SHOULD BE SEPARATE ENTITIES SO THAT A FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETLY STOPPED WORKING IN A WINTER STORM 12/09/03. I FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL ON THE WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY DID NOTHING BUT LOOK AT THE VIN AND TOLD ME THAT MY 1994 YUKON NEEDED A CIRCUIT BUT DID NOT FIT INTO THE RECALL. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $85.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT MANY OTHERS GET FIXED FOR FREE. THEY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE WIPERS WITHOUT ANY EXAM AT ALL. THAT TELLS ME THAT THERE MUST ALSO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL ON THE CIRCUIT BOARDS IN ALL OF THE TRUCKS. I CALLED GMC THEY TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PLANTS WERE THE BOARDS WERE MADE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PLANTS THERE WERE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVEING PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PART ON THE SAME TRUCKS BUT THEIR PARTS WERE MADE IN A DIFFERENT PLANT THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE PLANT BUT A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PART THAT WILL CAUSE ALL OF THEM TO FAIL. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE ONE FROM MY TRUCK LOOKED AT BY SOMEONE THAT DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURES BOARDS EVERY DAY TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE ONE STATED IN THE RECALL. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE THIS RECALL EXPANDED TO COVER ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE (POORLY DESIGNED) PARTS.*AK
