WHILE MAKING A SHARP TURN, THE DRIVER HEARD A RATTLE NOISE AND VIBRATION. THE TURN COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS MAKING A RIGHT/LEFT WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT TWICE AND PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *PH

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

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.

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.

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

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

TIRES
I HAVE HAD 2 CATASTROPHIC FAILURES ON THE SUBJECT FIRESTONE TIRES @ 60 AND 70 MPH RESPECTIVELY. FIRESTONE WOULD NOT REPLACE THE FIRST TIRE IN MAY, 2001. AFTER THE SECOND FAILURE, 8/30/02 I FOUND A RECALL CALL NOTICE ON FIRESTONES WEBSITE FOR THE WILDERNESS LE TIRES MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO(WHICH MINE WERE) HOWEVER IT ONLY COVERS DOT#V672WL21700. I HAVE APPEALED TO THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER WITHOUT ANY SATISFACTION. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM EXTENDS BEYOND THE RECALL NOTICE AND SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE FIRESTONE IS FORCED TO MAKE A BROADER RECALL.*AK

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG INDICATOR HAS LIT ON MANY OCCASIONS FOR LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM OR MAKE IT LIGHT, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS AN ERROR CODE IN THE VEHICLE COMPUTER. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE ME FOR CHECKING AS EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER. WE DRIVE IN FEAR THAT ONE OR BOTH AIR BAGS MAY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME DUE TO A SHORT CIRCUIT, CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT.*AK
