ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HAD TRUCK FOR ONE WEEK, HAVING A GOOD TIME, AND THEN THE CAR STALLED ELEVEN TIMES ON ME. WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I AM TRAVELING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. EVEN STALLED ON TOP OF THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS BRIDGE WITH A TRUCK FULL OF KIDS. VERY SCARY I AM TERRIFIED TO GO ANYWHERE FAR AND AM NOT PLEASED WITH THE FACT I HAD TO PAY A HUNDRED DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I HAVEN'T PAID THE FIRST NOTE AND SHELLING OUT MONEY FOR REPAIRS. I HATE THIS. THEN THE DEALERSHIPS TREAT YOU AS IF YOU ARE CRAZY. THEY CLAIM IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP! NOW THE SERVICE CREW AT (?) THINKS I'M CRAZY, I'M JUST SCARED. I COULD HAVE STAYED IN MY UNRELIABLE INTREPID FOR WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH. AND REMEMBER IT'S ONLY BEEN A WEEK. NOW I JUST DROP THE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND PARK IT UNTIL IT'S TIME TO PICK THEM UP. NOTHING EXTRA! WE NEED TO TRY TO FORM A CLASS ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. ONE DAY THE CAR BEHIND US WON'T STOP! THANK GOD NOTHING TRAGIC SO FAR THAT WE KNOW OF. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE DRASTIC MEASURES ARE MADE BY THESE MANUFACTURES! I WISH EVERY HEAD GMC AS WELL AS A FEW OTHERS WOULD TAKE THESE VEHICLES FOR THE WEEKEND AND DRIVE IN FEAR LIKE WE DO EVERYDAY WITH THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN MY 2003 GMC YUKON XL AND ONLY WENT A SHORT DISTANCE WHEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS VERY SLUGGISH AND THE DIC SHOWED "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I STARTED IT UP A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT WAS FINE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS COMMON AND IT WAS DUE TO REFUELING WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING OR A LOOSE GAS CAP...NEITHER OF THESE HAD HAPPENED IN MY CASE. THE NEXT DAY I HAD MY THREE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON RT. 95 WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN. I LOST ALL ABILITY TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE MECHANIC THAT TOWED IT READ THE DTC'S AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING: -CLASS 2 DATA LINK MALFUNCTION. - BODY CONTROL MODULE. - PCM TO TAC MODULE SERIAL DATA CONNECTION. I PLACED A CALL TO GMC ON 9/2 TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THE DANGER IT HAD PLACED MY FAMILY IN. THEY TOLD ME IT HAD TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP FOR AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES W/ OTHER YUKONS AS WELL AS 2003 CHEVY AVALANCHES. AFTER READING THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THIS ISSUE IT IS VERY APPARENT THAT GMC IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BUT HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE IT PUTTING MILLIONS AT RISK EVERY DAY. SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET HURT. *NM

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON XL WHICH BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME AT ~51,280 MILES. THESE ARE SEALED BEARINGS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE BY REPLACING BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES, $692.49, WHEN I HEARD THE BEARING GRINDING NOISE. THE MECHANIC AT THE GM DEALER TOLD ME HE REPLACES THE BEARING ASSEMBLIES ON TWO TO THREE VEHICLES A WEEK. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE WINDOW HINGE ON THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2003 GMC YUKON BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WINDOW. THIS HAS BEEN USED VERY RARELY, AND THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS GARAGED. IT SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, OR DESIGN FLAW...NOT SOMETHING THAT FAILED BECAUSE OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. WITHOUT REPAIR, THIS COULD LEAD TO WINDOW SEPARATION AND HARM TO OTHER VEHICLES FOLLOWING ME ON THE HIGHWAY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN STICKING. SOMETIMES IT RESETS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN STUCK PAST THE 120 MPH. REPAIR SHOPS RECOMMEND TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE BUT HAVE NOT DONE SO YET. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR AT LEAST 4 MONTHS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED ON THREE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY SPEEDS OF 30- 75 MPH THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LOUD BANG. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FILLED WITH WHITE SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP EACH TIME. THE ENTIRE A/C WAS REPLACED ON TWO OCCASIONS. ON ANOTHER OCCASION VARIOUS PARTS OF THE A/C WAS REPLACED. ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED EACH TIME. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2003 YUKON XL (51,000 MILES) FLEX FUEL SENSOR IS ROTTING OFF THE VEHICLE. WAS TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED. IT IS SELF DESTRUCTING AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE FUEL LINES ENTER THE SENSOR. IF THE CORROSION CONTINUES IT WILL CAUSE FUEL TO SPRAY ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I AM AN ASE MASTER TECH. AND A VOCATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE INSTRUCTOR. I FEEL THIS COULD POSE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
MY 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI HAD JUST OVER 63,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE MAJORITY OF THE DRIVING HAS BEEN ON PAVED ROADS/HIGHWAYS. THE HUB ASSEMBLIES (BOTH SIDES) BEGAN MAKING A NOISE IN MARCH OF 2006. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CERTIFIED AUTO REPAIR FACILITY AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES WERE IN IMMEDIATE NEED OF REPLACEMENT AND THAT THERE WAS A DANGER IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE WORK DONE ON MARCH 22, 2006. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE FAILED PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED THE BBB WHO, IN TURN, REFERRED ME TO THE GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE. AFTER CONTACTING THESE PEOPLE THEY FILE A REPORT #1-408898915. THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT GMC WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME DUE TO THE FACTS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I HAD NOT USED A GMC DEALER FOR THE REPAIR WORK. THE REPAIRS WERE #613.59. THE DEALER WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME APPROXIMATELY $1,000 FOR THIS SAME WORK. THEY DID GIVE ME THE ADDRESS OF THE GMC DIVISIONAL OFFICE IN MICHIGAN AND SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I WILL DO THIS, BUT I HAVE NOT DONE THIS YET AS I DO NOT ANTICIPATE A POSITIVE RESULT FROM MY EFFORTS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE PARTS AND/OR VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY SINCE BOTH THE BRAKES AND THE TIRES OUT LASTED THE WHEEL ASSEMBLIES. THERE SHOULD BE AN "IMPLIED WARRANTY" THAT MAJOR COMPONENTS LIKE THESE HAVE A LIFE EXPECTANCY THAT EXCEEDS THE WRITTEN WARRANTY. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2003 YUKON HAS A SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM. THE MPH WILL BECOME LOCKED IN ON SPEEDS THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ACCORDING TO THE SPEEDOMETER 110 MPH, BUT ACTUAL SPEED LESS THAN 40 MPH. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN 40 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE AT TIMES WILL NOT RESET TO 0 MPH. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE, AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT SOME FRIENDS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES(GMC PICK UPS) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THIS A PROBLEM THAT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT! *NM

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
AT 45729 MILES WE HAD TO HAVE THE GEAR BOX REPLACED AT THE COST OF $1044. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER MECHANICS A GEAR BOX IS A PART THAT IS SELDOM REPLACED ON ANY VEHICLE. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON REPAIRS FOR A NEWER VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE COST WAS OVER $31000. *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING:LINKAGES, SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:TORSION BAR
2003 GMC YUKON XL HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING COLUMN SINCE IT WAS NEW. AT APPROX. 4,000 MILES, TOOK TO DEALER FOR THUMPING/POPPING SOUND THAT COULD BE FELT IN STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING, ACCELERATING, STOPPING OR OVER A SPEED BUMP. DEALER PACKED INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WITH GREASE. DID NOT WORK. TOOK BACK TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. NOTHING MORE FELT IN STEERING COLUMN. AT APPROX. 12,500 MILES TOOK YUKON BACK TO DEALER TO REMEDY POPPING NOISE AND UNUSUAL WEAR/FEATHERING ON INSIDE TREAD OF F. TIRES. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE NOISE. SAID ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. HAD TO PAY FOR ALIGNMENT/ROTATION. WIFE TOOK VEHICLE BACK WHEN TECH. WAS AVAILABLE TO RIDE ALONG. WIFE WAS ABLE TO GET YUKON TO DUPLICATE NOISE WITH TECH. IN VEHICLE. TSB SAID TO REMOVE BOLTS FROM CROSS MEMBER, BORE BOLT HOLES, LUBRICATE, REPLACE AND TORQUE. DIDN'T GET OFF OF THE LOT BEFORE NOISE RETURNED. NOW AT 25,000 MILES, AFTER MORE UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR AND THE UNRESOLVED POPPING NOISE, TOOK YUKON BACK AT DEALERSHIP. SERVICE MANAGER ORDERED WASHERS AS PER NEW TSB FOR PERMANENT FIX OF POPPING NOISE AND IS EXPERIMENTING WITH ALIGNMENT TOLERANCES. JUST DROVE 10 FEET OUT OF SERVICE AREA PARKING LOT AND POPPING NOISE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN ON MONDAY 08/08/05 SO THE SERVICE MANAGER CAN RIDE ALONG TO OBSERVE PROBLEM. TALKED TO A FRONT END SPECIALIST AT WORK AND HE INDICATED THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2000 & UP G.M. FLEET VEHICLES.(100+) SAID GM REP CAME TO INSPECT, NOTED THE PROBLEM AND LEFT. FRONT-END SPECIALIST SAID THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN GM TORSION BAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM THAT IS CAUSING MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS BUT GM REPS WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR REMEDY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I HAVE TAKEN MY 2003 GMC YUKON XL IN FOR SERVICE ON THE AIR CONDITIONER ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I RECENTLY MOVED FROM MICHIGAN TO TENNESSEE AND WHILE LIVING IN MICHIGAN I NOTICES A SQUEALING NOISE WHENEVER I TURNED ON MY AC. THE NOISE WOULD LAST A FEW MINUTES AND THEN STOP. I ALSO NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE UPON ACCELERATION WHILE THE AC WAS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN MICHIGAN AND AT FIRST NOTHING WAS FOUND. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN TENNESSEE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A RECYCLING SWITCH, AND IT WAS REPLACED. NOW, ALMOST I YEAR LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BUT UNFORTUNATELY, MY VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY (50,000 MILES) AND I AM NOW TOLD THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. IT WILL NOW COST ME OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. *JB

SUSPENSION, SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE INTERSTATE FROM A 4 HOUR DRIVE AND HEARD A AWFUL GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT SOUNDED LIKE "METAL AGAINST METAL". AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A BRAKE PAD, BUT THE PADS APPEARED TO BE FINE. I PARKED IT THAT NIGHT AND ON SUNDAY MORNING (6/6/2005) DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM TO CALL IN THE MORNING. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME MONDAY MORNING AND SAID THAT THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAD GONE BAD. IN MY DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SURBURBANS, ENVOY'S AND YUKONS. MY CONCERN IS THAT HOW MUCH LONGER WOULD I DRIVEN BEFORE THE BEARING TOTALLY BUNED UP AND CAUSED THE LOSS OF STEERING? I HAD THE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY REPLACED AT A $494.70 EXPENSE TO ME AND IT IS CURRENTLY DRIVING FINE. THE VEHICLE HAD 46,369 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
2003 YUKON XL WOULD DIE LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS WHEN IT STILL HAD AT LEAST 1/4 TANK OR IT WOULD NOT START WHEN IT HAD AT LEAST 1/4 TANK OF GAS BUT IF YOU ADDED 1 - 5 GALLONS OF GAS IT WOULD START. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMP HAD LOW PRESSURE AND THEY REPLACED FUEL SENDING UNIT. SEEMS TO BE FINE NOW. DEALER STATED THEY HAD NOT SEEN ANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I KNOW OF AT LEAST 4 OTHER GM SUV'S THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SMALL TOWN THAT I LIVE IN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON XL. THE IGNITION KEY HAS THREE DIFFERENT SETTING AUXILIARY, RUN, START AND THE VEHICLE HAS A STOP MECHANISM SO THAT OWNER CANNOT TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK UNLESS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. HOWEVER, THAT STOP SETTING DID NOT WORK IF THE KEY WAS SET TO THE AUXILIARY. COULD BASICALLY TAKE IT OUT OF PARK AND PUT IT INTO GEAR WITHOUT HAVING TO STEP ON THE BRAKE. UNABLE TO DO IT IF THE KEY WAS SET ON THE RUN POSITION OR IF STARTED VEHICLE. OWNER'S MANUAL DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AND IT DID NOT TALK DISCUSS THE SAFETY OF THE WAY THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE. WHAT HAPPENED IS HE HAD A 2 YEAR OLD AND A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD WHILE BACKING CAR INTO DRIVEWAY. IS ON A SLANT THEY WERE JUST SITTING THERE THEY HAD THE VEHICLE ON ACCELERATE AND WHEN HE TURNED AROUND 2 YEAR OLD CRAWLED INTO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ACROSS THE STREET. THE DOORS WERE LOCKED TO THE VEHICLE HE HAD TO JUMP THROUGH THE WINDOW AND HIT THE BRAKE. AND HE HAS READ THE OWNERS MANUAL FROM FRONT TO BACK AND HE CANNOT SEE ANYWHERE IN THERE TO WERE IT IS POSSIBLE TO WEAR YOU CAN TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PARK SETTING WITHOUT HITTING THE BRAKE. HE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THE VEHICLE. HE KNOWS SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAS THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE WITH THIS SAME MECHANISM AND THERE VEHICLE IS THE SAME WAY.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
IT WAS RAINING, I EXITED I95 ON TO RT 321 IN SOUTH CAROLINA, DECELERATING SPEED ABOUT 40 MPH ON EXIT RAMP TO THE RIGHT, WHEN CAR IN FRONT ABRUPTLY APPLIED BRAKES, I DID SAME, AND VEHICLE WENT IN TO SKID. KEPT FOOT ON BRAKES, NO ALB ENGAGEMENT. VEHICLE SLIDE OFF ROAD, AND TIRES HIT GRAVE AND VEHICLE SPUN 180 DEGREES COMIN TO REST ON PRECIPICE OF CLIFF. WE WERE NEARLY KILLED. THE ALB DID NOT ENGAGE. THE DEALER SAID HE "TESTED"... AND SIAD THEY WERE FINE?? HOW DID HE TEST ON DRY PAVEMENT THAT DAY? I HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING BUT LIP SERVICE FROM THE DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THE ALB OF THIS VEHICLE, OR AN INTERMITTENT FLAW.. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED NOT LIVING TO TELL THE STORY ABOUT THIS DESIGN FLAW. GM IS DENYING ANY PROBLEM AND IS OF NO HELP. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A MAJOR ISSUE, POSSIBLY WITH ALL THESE ALB SYSTEMS. I NEED SOME HELP ON GETTING MY CAR RECALLED AND FIXED. I READ YOUR "SALT STATE" RECALL, BUT IT IT MUCH LARGER THAN THAT. IT IS A FLAW WITH ALL THESE VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE I HAVE IS A 2003 YUKON XL

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
VEHICLE HAS AUTOMATIC SEATS. THE AUTOMATIC SEAT MODULE WILL NOT RETAIN THE STORED INFORMATION WHICH IS USED TO SET THE SEATING POSITION. THE SEAT WILL NOT GO BACK TO ALLOW THE DRIVER TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE MOTOR THAT OPERATES THE MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT BEGAN TO RUN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, CAUSING THE SEAT TO MOVE FORWARD INTO THE DASHBOARD. OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS DEFECT.*AK DEALER STATED THAT UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER CAN FIX THE SEAT MODULE SEAT IT SHOULD BE TURNED OFF AND NOT USED. *BF *NM
