UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MINE PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE (ODI ID: 741897 ) THAT I FOUND POSTED ON YOUR WEB SITE. MY MECHANIC SAID HE WASN'T SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WE COULD START BY REPLACING THE STEERING BOX AND GOING FROM THERE. HAVE SPOKEN WITH 2 OTHER YUKON OWNERS AND THEY SAID THEY'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THAT GMC BASICALLY FELT THEY WERE FEELING SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T EXIST.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN FEB OF 2002 AND IT WAS SLEETING, I WAS USING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO CLEAR THE WINDOW. THE RIGHT FORNT WIPER ARM CAME LOOSE AS THE WIPER STARTED THE UP STROKE AND THEN JUST STAYED IN THE "UP" POSITION, IT GOT TANGLED UP INTO THE LEFT WIPER ARM AND BENT THE ARM TO WHERE THE WIPERS COULD NOT BE USED. I TOOK THE YUKON INTO A GMC DEALER WHO WAS CLOSE BY, THEY REFUSED TO WORK ON IT SINCE I HAD NOT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THERE, SO I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE APPROX. 50 MILES TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM TO GET IT REPAIRED. THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT THE WIPERS ON THIS VEHICLE SOMETIMES DO THAT, IN FACT HE SAID HE HAD ALREADY REPAIRED TWO THAT SAME DAY AND I SHOULD CARRY A 13MM WRENCH WITH ME AND CHECK THE TIGHTNESS ON THE ARMS FROM TIME TO TIME. THE NEXT INCIDENT HAPPENED IN APRIL AND IT WAS MISTING RAIN, I HAD JUST TURNED ON MY WIPERS WHEN I SAW THE LEFT FRONT WIPER ARM COME LOSE AND STOPPED WIPING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE WIPERS OFF BEFORE IT GOT TANGLED UP WITH THE RIGHT WIPER ARM. I USED THE 13MM WRENCH, THAT THE DEALER RECOMMENED I BUY, AND TIGHTENED IT. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFTEY FEATURE IF THIS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE IT WAS RAINING OR SLEETING HARD. THE INCIDENT WITH THE REAR DEFROST HAPPENED IN APRIL OF 2002. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH TOWN AND THE REAR WINDOWS (IT HAS CARGO DOORS, 1 WINDOW IN EACH DOOR) START TO FOG UP, I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND THE RIGHT REAR WINDO IN THE CARGO DOOR CLEARED UP WITHIN SECONDS, THE WINDOW ON THE LEFT REAR CARGO DOOR NEVER DID. THE DEALER IS SCHEDULED TO LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM ON 05/06/2002. THIS SERIOUSLY IMPAIRS YOUR VISION WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS WON'T DEFOG/\. *AK

PARKING BRAKE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, SUSPENSION, SEATS
MY PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT HOLD MY VEHICLE ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST GRADE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL PER GMC EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. MY ENGINE HAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I START IT UP IN THE MORNING. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL PER GMC. MY FRONT PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT BACK MOVES FORWARD AND BACK (WOBBLES). MY REAR END WHEEL BEARING WERE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A LOUD HUM. THAT WAS MISDIAGNOSED TWICE BY ALFRED MATHEWS. MY FRONT END FEELS LOOSE AND SQUEAKS WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING. REAR LEATHER BUCKET SEATS RATTLE ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING AND THE LEATHER HAS RIPPED @ SEAMS TWICE. ALFRED MATHEWS REPLACED ONCE AND TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO FIX SEAT RATTLE. MY NEWEST COMPLAINT IS A NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOORS. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****761455

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
THE FIRST TIME THE POWER STEERING UNIT WENT INTO A HYPER-SUPER-SQUIRRELY(ONLY MOMETARY) MODE WAS AT 5000 MI. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME, COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THE EVO SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM MANIFESTED ONCE AGAIN AFTER A FEW HUNDRED MILES. STEERING HAS GONE "HYPER" AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30 MPH, TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT, AS WELL AS ON STRAIGHT SECTIONS OF ROADWAY. IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING FEELING TO LOSE CONTROL OF SEVERAL THOUSAND POUNDS OF STEEL TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. LUCKILY I HAVE ALWAYS MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL BEFORE GOING OFF OF THE ROAD, I HOPE MY LUCK CONTINUES. I SUSPECT GMC WILL NOT REMEDY THIS SITUATION UNLESS NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE KILLED FIRST.*JB
