PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON HAS NEVER WORKED. VEHICLE WILL ROLL DOWNHILL IF PARKING BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. DEALER CLAIMS THE BRAKE IS WORKING PROPERLY AS DESIGNED, TAKEN TO DEALER AT LEAST 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS FOR THIS COMPLAINT, ALWAYS WITH THE SAME EXPLANATION. LAST TIME I HAD THIS CHECKED RECENTLY I WAS TOLD THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES NEEDED REPLACEMENT, THAT I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON (UNTRUE). I HAD BRAKES EXAMINED AT A NON GMC SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE OVERLY WORN ON ONE SIDE DUE TO IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A FUNCTIONING PARKING BRAKE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER GAVE ME MISINFORMATION ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS, NOW REFUSING TO REPAIR THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE EXAMINED BY NSTA. THANK YOU.

ON APRIL 9, 2003 THE CONSUMER WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UP TO 28 MPH WITHOUT APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO SEVERAL OBJECTS BEFORE IT STOPPED. GMC SENT AN ENGINEER TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM WHICH COULD NOT BE DETERMINED AT THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. *JB

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY 1998 GMC YUKON WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TOWING A 23 FT. BOAT! I KNOW GM HAS RECALLED MANY VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT INCLUDE 1998 MODELS! PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX THE WHOLE PROBLEM BEFORE A LOT OF PEOPLE DIE! I ALMOST TOOK OUT THREE VEHICLES BEFORE I COULD GET OVER ON THE SHOULDER! I'VE FIXED MY YUKON ALREADY BECAUSE IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT GM IS STILL DROPPING THE BALL! *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF AFTER THE DOME OVER RIDE BUTTON IS PUSHED FOUR (4) TIMES WITHIN SIX (6) SECONDS PER THE MANUAL BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SHUTTING OFF AFTER SOMETIMES 1 HIT OR 2 OR 3 AND SOMETIMES 4. DRIVING HOME LATE ONE NIGHT ON A BUSY DENVER INTERSTATE WE I HIT THE BUTTON ONCE AND ALL THE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE WENT OFF. VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AS THERE ARE NO MANUFACTURERS NOTICES AND THE COMPUTER SAYS THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. *NLM

PARKING BRAKE
THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2000 YUKON WOULD NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS CONDITION EXISTED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, I WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE HAS A NEW TYPE PARKING BRAKE. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. IT WOULD ONLY HOLD THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. AFTER TWO YEARS OF THE PARKING BRAKE NOT HOLDING I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE AND INQUIRED ONE MORE TIME ABOUT THE PARKING BRAKE. THE DEALER CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PADS AND MADE SOME OTHER CHANGES. NOW THE PARKING BRAKE DOES HOLD THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF SINCE THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM UNTIL THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE.
