SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY CAR FAILED BECAUSE OF THE ACTUAL COMPUTER CONTROL UNIT. IT FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE FULL SYSTEM TO FAIL. THE CAR IS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE FUSE CONTROLLING THE ABS SYSTEM HAD TO BE REMOVED AS THE PUMPS CONTROLLING THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT TURN OFF SINCE THE CONTROL UNIT FAILED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PART WOULD COST $1,000.00 TO REPLACE. A COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS PRICE AS I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THESE PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY FAULTY AND FAIL REGULARLY WHILE IN USE. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
I PUT MY 1 YEAR OLD IN HIS CAR SEAT AND WENT AROUND THE OTHER SIDE TO CONTINUE FASTENING IN MY OTHER TWO TODDLERS, BROOKE, 4, AND MASON, 3, INTO THEIR SEATS AS WELL. ONCE I GOT INSIDE THE DRIVERS SEAT, BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE, I HAD REALIZED THAT I HAD BETTER GET ANOTHER BOTTLE OUT OF THE REFRIGERATOR. WHILE I WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE, MY 3 YEAR OLD, MASON, CLIMBED OUT OF HIS SEAT AND JUMPED INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT AND BEGAN PLAYING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. HE HAD TURNED THE KEY SWITCH A FOURTH OF AN INCH, NOT EVEN TO THE FIRST CLICK (ON POSITION), AND SUCCESSFULLY PULLED DOWN THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL (OBVIOUSLY WITHOUT APPLYING HIS FOOT TO THE BRAKE). AS I WAS COMING BACK OUT OF THE HOUSE, I SEE MY CAR AND THREE CHILDREN GOING BACKWARDS DOWN MY DRIVEWAY WITH MASON BEHIND THE WHEEL, ON HIS KNEES YELLING "UH OH, UH OH!". I RAN, SCREAMING OUT MY CHILDS NAME, IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SO HE COULDN'T FALL OUT BUT DIDNT MAKE IT IN TIME. THEY WENT STRAIGHT UP A BANK AND INTO THE WOODS PLOWING THROUGH THREE TREES. SOUNDS OF GLASS SHATTERING AND CHILDRENS CRY SURROUNDED MY HEAD. FINALLY, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN HALT. IT SAYS ON THE DASH OF MY VEHICLE YOU MUST APPLY BRAKE IN ORDER TO PULL OUT OF PARK. THE SERVICE MANAGERS DIAGNOSIS OF MY VEHICLE BEING OF NORMAL OPERATION IS IN FACT A CONTRADICTION TO WHAT ALL MANUALS STATE. THIS DEFECT ALMOST TOOK THE LIVES OF MY THREE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE SOME PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE AND CONCERN IN THIS MATTER. PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS MALFUNCTION TO AVOID FUTURE ACCIDENTS. MY STORY CONTINUES AND IS IN MUCH FURTHUR DETAIL BUT YOUR EMAIL PAGE WON'T ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS!

STEERING:COLUMN
EXCESSIVE "PLAY" IN STEERING COLUMN OF 2003 GMC YUKON, AFTER 26,000 MILES AND 8 MONTHS OF DRIVING WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY OR MAINTENANCE SERVICE AGREEMENT. DEALER INDICATED THAT REPAIR INVOLVED A LUBE KIT FOR "INTERIM STEERING SHAFT". DEALER ADVISED THAT GMC ISSUED A MAINTENANCE CIRCULAR REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECT OR MISTAKE BY FACTORY. OWNER CONTACTED GMC CONSUMER AFFAIRS. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM DETROIT STATED THAT NO GOVERNMENT RECALL ISSUED ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE/VIN#, BUT THAT PERHAPS GMC HAD ISSUED A "SPECIAL POLICY" TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. GMC POLICY ON "SPECIAL POLICY" PROBLEMS IS TO WAIT FOR MAINTENANCE PROBLEM TO MANIFEST ITSELF AND BE IDENRTIFIED BY OWNER, INSTEAD OF INFORMING OWNER AND/OR TAKING PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. *AK
