FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
FUEL TANK LEAKS FROM TOP OF TANK AFTER FILL-UP, ALL FITTINGS APPEAR TO BE OK. THIS ONLY OCCURS AFTER TOPPING OFF, BUT LOSES ABOUT 1 GALLON FROM TOP MID-SECTION OF TANK. ALSO FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP SINCE THIS STARTED GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE YUKON IS A WEAK LINK ON AN OTHERWISE GREAT VEHICLE. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL. THE PROBLEM WITH IT IS THAT THE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR EVERYTIME IT IS USED AND YOU TEND TO WONDER IF THE TRUCK WILL STOP IN TIME. I READ IN THE PAPER THIS WEEK THAT THE YUKON'S BRAKES ON THE 1999 AND LATER TRUCKS WERE RECALLED AND WOULD BET THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. EITHER WAY I WANT A COMPLAINT LISTED ABOUT THESE LOUSY BRAKES ON THE 98 MODEL YUKON AND MAYBE GMC WILL DESIGN A FIX FOR THIS LOUSY SYSTEM. *AK

#540735September 2, 1998
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SPEED SENSOR IN THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM CAUSES THE STEERING TO CHANGE FROM VERY STIFF (I.E., DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL) TO VERY LOOSE (I.E., VERY EASY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL). THIS PROBLEM ALSO CAUSED THE DRIVER TO NEARLY LOOSE CONTOL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.
