POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION REACTS AS IF IN NEUTRAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT DROPS INTO GEAR. SINCE NO "CODES" SHOW UP WHEN THE CAR IS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR THE DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER IS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS A ROADWAY, MOVER OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, ETC. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED. DT

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 1996. WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE HEARING NOISES AND TROUBLE WITH A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I APPLIED THE BRAKES GOING ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR TO SLOW DOWN TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND BOTH REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS BLEW OUT ON ME ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. SINCE THE VEHICLE TURNED OVER PAST 60,000 MILES, I HAVE HAD AT LEAST THREE INCIDENTS WHERE ACCIDENTS ALMOST OCCURRED DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. TWICE THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER GETTING BRAND NEW BRAKES DONE ALL THE WAY AROUND, ONCE AT THE DEALER AND ONCE AT A MIDAS MUFFLER SHOP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION IN THE ABS SYSTEM. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALER TOMORROW, SINCE IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. DT

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE, SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
LACK OF 3 POINT RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND HEAD RESTS ON MIDDLE POSITION OF BENCHES. I HAVE SIX CHILDREN WHO ARE QUICKLY OUTGROWING CAR SEATS. I BELIEVE 2 PT RESTRAINTS ARE UNSAFE. WHEN WILL THEY BECOME STANDARD IN LARGE UTILITY VECHICLES LIKE THE YUKON XL? LESSER CARS ARE EQUIPPENT WITH THEM. HOW DOES A MOTHER CHOOSE WHICH 2 CHILDREN TO PLACE IN THE LESS SAFE SEATS? NLM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AND NOTICED GAS FUMES IN THE CAB. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE SUV AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE DRIPPING OFF THE ENGINE ONTO THE GROUND. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (WHICH COULDN'T FIX IT ON A SATURDAY SO WE HAD TO STAY IN TOWN TWO EXTRA DAYS UNTIL MONDAY AND RENT A CAR, BUT THEY WERE FAST ON MONDAY) . I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD , BUT MORE CONCERNING WAS THAT THEY COULD OFFER NO EXPLAINATION AS TO WHAT HAD CAUSED THE LEAK. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSED A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND INJURED OR KILLED ME OR A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE EMAILED GMC ON THEIR WEB SITE TODAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS IT COULD BE LIFE THREATNING.*AK
