VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE BACK GLASS ON OUR 2004 GMC YUKON XL BROKE AT THE RIGHT HINGE AT FIRST. WE HARDLY EVER OPENED THE BACK GLASS, SO THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. TODAY THE LEFT BACK GLASS HINGE BROKE. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR A RECALL ON THIS, HOWEVER THERE ISN'T ONE. GMC IS AWARE AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM BUT ISN'T WILLING TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. FOUND MANY FORUMS WHERE OTHER GMC & CHEVY OWNERS ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT CAN BE FIXED FOR AROUND $1000.00 BUT SINCE IT IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT ON THEIR END.....WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT? PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
VEHICLE IS A 2004 GMC YUKON XL1500. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP AND WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES UNEXPECTEDLY, AND THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WARNING "TRACTION ACTIVE" IS GIVEN. THE PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY RANDOM, HOWEVER IT OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME NOW. THE PROBLEM PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN OTHER VEHICLES ARE AROUND, AS THE SUDDEN SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE, DUE TO THE ABS ENGAGEMENT, FOLLOWED BY A LURCH FORWARD AFTER THE ABS RELEASES COULD CAUSE VEHICLE COLLISIONS. *TR
