STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE RIGHT WINDOW HINGE ON THE REAR "LIFT GATE" HAS BROKEN AFTER 68,000 MILES AND THREE AND HALF YEARS OF USAGE. THE HINGE HAS FAILED DUE TO FATIGUE FROM NORMAL, OCCASIONAL USE ON A WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE, IN MY OPINION AS A MECHANICAL ENGINEER, IS A FACTORY DESIGN DEFECT. THE SAFETY ISSUE I HAVE WITH THIS PROBLEM IS THAT AFTER HINGE BREAKS, THE GLASS NO LONGER SEALS PROPERLY AND HANGS AJAR ALLOWING EXHAUST GASES TO BE VACUUMED INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS PROBLEM REQUIRES A $1400 GM OR A $600 DOLLAR AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS EVEN MORE DISHEARTENING KNOWING THAT IT WILL ULTIMATELY FAIL AGAIN IN THREE YEARS. THANKS FOR YOUR EAR AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. *JB

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL
MY 2001 GMC YUKON WITH 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES FAILED STATE INSPECTION DUE TO WORN OUT (NON-FUNCTIONING) EMERGENCY BRAKES. I HAVE ONLY USED THEM FOR PARKING ABOUT 10 TIMES & NEVER FOR EMERGENCY STOPPING. THE DEALER WHO REPAIRED THEM, TOLD ME THAT DUE TO A CLIP DESIGN PROBLEM, THEY TYPICALLY WORE OUT WITHOUT USE, RIGHT AFTER THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED. THE LININGS WOULD NOT REMAIN STRAIGHT & WOULD WEAR PREMATURELY. THEY CHARGED ME FOR SOME OF THE REPAIR ($100) BUT IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED AS A RECALL. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE EBCM WENT OUT ON MY 2001 GMC YUKON ABS SYSTEM CAUSING THE ABS PUMP TO RUN CONTINUALLY EVEN WITHOUT THE KEY ON. PULLING THE FUSE STOPPED THE PUMP FROM RUNNING, BUT I DON'T HAVE ABS, WHICH TO ME IS A SAFETY CONCERN. GM SHOULD RECALL THIS MODULE FOR SAFETY REASONS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS A LONG LIST OF VEHICALS WITH THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THIS PART DUE TO THE $1000 PRICE FROM THE DEALER, NOR DO I INTEND TO UNTIL GM ISSUES A RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART. FOR THE MONEY THAT I GAVE GM FOR THIS VEHICAL, I EXPECT MORE CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THIS, I HAVE GIVEN THEM ENOUGH MONEY FOR THEM TO JUST BRUSH MY SAFETY (AND OTHERS' SAFETY AS WELL) ASIDE. *AK
