WHILE COASTING ON THE SHOULDER I TRIED SHIFTING TO OTHER GEARS - RECEIVED POWER ON SECOND GEAR HOWEVER RUBBING NOISE AND HARDLY ANY POWER. LUCKILY MY DEALER WAS WITHIN A MILE OF WHERE THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AND LIMPED TO THE DEALER IN SECOND GEAR AT 25MPR. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING AND RECALLED AND THAT WAS FIXED BY GM. THE BRAKE LIGHTS SOMETIMES OVER HEAT AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE SADDLES ON THEM. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW THEY GO OUT BUT I HAVE PEOPLE HONKING AT ME THAT I HAVE NO LIGHTS IN THE REAR. NOW WITH MY WARRANTY OUT AND HAVE 86.000 MILES ON IT THE FUEL PUMP IS OUT ON THE VEHICLE AT A 700 DOLLAR COST. THE DOOR KNOB FELL OFF, I HAVE OIL PRESSURE ISSUES ALL OF THE TIME. LAST NOVEMBER THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TO PICK IT UP OFF OF THE INTERSTATE WHICH SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT. BRAKE ISSUES. WHEN YOU SPEND 48,000 DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE IT MAKES YOU SAD THAT GM DOES NOTHING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS. MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT HELP THEM ANYMORE. TODAY THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE IT TO GM AND PAY 200 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSIS. JUST MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKET. I WANT TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR ADVISE. THIS CAR IS DEFINITELY A DISAPPOINTMENT ND LEMON. *TR

I WENT TO THE MALL YESTERDAY AND MY CAR STARED SHAKING THE MALL IS 4 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THIS INTERSECTION ON THE WAY HOME AND I HEARD A HORRIBLE POP AND SAW SOMETHING FLY IN THE AIR AND FALL OFF OF MY CAR. IT WAS THE DRIVER SHAFT AND THAT PART WAS LAYING IN THE ROAD ABOUT 4 FEET LONG AND IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE RAN OVER IT I BELIEVE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY TO SOMEONE. THIS CAR HAS HAD SO MANY ISSUES. FROM TAIL LIGHTS GOING OUT AT ONE TIME, THE DOOR KNOB FALLING OFF, THE ARM OF THE SEAT BROKE AND NOW THE HEAD LIGHT JUST WENT OUT. BRAKE ISSUES AND I CALLED GMC TO TELL THEM THAT THIS PART FELL OFF AND THEY WERE NOT SURE IF IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. NOTHING EVER IS BUT IT IS SAD TO SPEND THIS KIND OF MONEY ON A VEHICLE AND HAVE SO MANY ISSUES WITH IT. WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. I WAS SHAKING FROM THIS INCIDENT AND HAD THE CAR TOWED AWAY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2007 GM YUKON XL. IN OR ABOUT MAY-JUNE OF 2009 THE CAR BEGAN RUNNING BADLY AND SMELLED OF GAS. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER (SUN PONTIAC GMC OF WANTAGH, NY) AND THEY SAID THEY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND TIME AGAIN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING AND ONSTAR CALLS TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY. MANY REPORTS FROM ONSTAR ALSO CONFIRM THIS. AFTER MANY TRIPS TO SUN PONTIAC THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD REFUSED TO ISSUE ME A REPAIR ORDER BECAUSE YUKONS WERE HAVING EXPLOSIVE CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY MINE. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HAD ANY SUCH PROBLEM AND REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS ORDERED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY HOME BECAUSE OF THE SAME EXPLOSIVE CONDITION. SINCE JUNE 2009 I HAVE HAD OVER 300 PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH GM. I PERSONALLY WITNESSED THE ENTIRE REAR END UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE IN PIECES. I HAVE READ AND BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT EVEN AFTER THEY REPLACED HARNESSES, GAS TANKS, TUBES, GAS LINES ETC. IT COULD NOT BE FIXED. THE LAST WORDS OUT OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SUN WAS THAT " I WOULDN'T DRIVE THAT CAR IF I WERE YOU BECAUSE IT MIGHT BLOW UP". I KNEW THAT GM WOULD NEVER ADMIT TO ANY OF THIS SO I TAPED MOST OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL OF THEIR HEAD OFFICIALS AND STORED NUMEROUS COPIES WITH TWO SEPARATE ATTORNEY'S, MY FAMILY AND ONE COUSIN WHO WORKS FOR THE MEDIA IN CASE ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN. IT WAS ADMITTED TO ME A GM THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME AND IT WOULDN'T BE THE LAST. I HAVE TAKEN MY YUKON OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED IT AWAY FROM ANYTHING FLAMMABLE WITH VERY LITTLE GAS IN THE TANK (WELL, THAT WAS HOW GM LEFT IT. I HAVE PROOF THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS FULLY AWARE THAT YUKONS MIGHT START BLOWING UP YET I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL AND I HAVE A $46,000.00 PILE OF RUBBISH IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

AIR BAGS
TWO WEEKS AGO A WARNING LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING "SERVICE AIR BAG". TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICE TODAY AND SUMMARY FROM TECH WAS "PERFORMED TECH TWO DIAGNOSTIC SCAN. FOUND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE B0087 SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT CIRCUIT. FURTHER DIAGNOSIS IS NEEDED." DECIDED TO EXPLORE VIA INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE: NHTSA #10023755. IF THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THIS, THEY DID NOT STATE ANYTHING. SUGGESTION FROM DEALER WAS THAT THEY REPLACE THE SENSOR AND IF THAT DID NOT WORK THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE "SENSOR COMPUTER". *TR
