#735602November 1, 2000
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
ENGINE EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS OF STARTING HARD WHEN HOT OR STALLING WITH NO WARNING. THE SES LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CODES 17, 18, 35 & 36 WERE STORED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THIS AND TRUCK WAS AT DEALER FOR 3 APPOINTMENTS BUT DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. THESE CODES ALMOST ALWAYS INDICATE A FAILING FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND CALLS TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS LINE ASKING WHY NOTHING WAS BEING DONE TO CHANGE THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE. A CASE NUMBER WAS ASSIGNED. ALL VISITS TO THE DEALER WERE DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. A TRIP FOLLOWING THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEARLY RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION ON AND INTERSTATE AS THE TRUCK STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I PURCHASED A NEW GM FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF AND RESOLVED THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY. GM HAS SINCE REINSTATED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL TRUCKS INCLUDING MINE. I AM SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR A REFUND FOR MY LOSSES.*AK

SUSPENSION:REAR
2-DOOR TAHOES AND YUKONS ARE PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROLL-OVER, FOR LACK OF A REAR ANTI-ROLL BAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER. OUR 1995 YUKON ROLLED AT LESS THAN 35MPH AND WAS TOTALED. WE INSTALLED A REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR ON OUR REPLACEMENT 1995 TAHOE AND IT IS NOW MUCH SAFER. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THE REAR SWAY BAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON ALL 2-DOOR TAHOES AND YUKONS.

#719019February 20, 2000
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
ORGINAL DELCO BATTERY LEAKED ACID ALL OVER FENDER WELL AND FLOOR OF GARAGE. UPON INVESTIGATING , FOUND THAT POSITIVE POST WAS LOOSE FROM BATTERY AND LEAKING. REPLACE WITH ANOTHER DELCO, SUPPOSE TO BE A BETTER MODEL AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM THEY WERE HAVING. AGAIN IN ABOUT 18 MONTHS, THE SAME THING AGAIN. REPLACED AGAIN WITH SAME PROBLEM, THIS TIME I BOUGHT A SEARS DIE HARD, AND HOPEFULLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. HEARD THE SAME STOREY FROM AT LEAST 10 FRIENDS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES. SHOULD HAVE REALIZED THEY HAD A PROBLEM. I THINK IT IS IN THE BOLT (TERMINAL) DISIGN. SHORTER BOLT (TERMINAL) ON NEGATIVE SIDE, AND EITHER THE LONGER BOLT ON THE POSITVE TERMANAL WAS PIERCING THE INNER WALL OF THE BATTERY, OR IT WASN'T GOING IN FAR ENOUGH AND CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL BAD CONNECTION, CAUSING A HEAT BUILD UP. I THINK YOU WILL FIND IN MOST CASES THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND BOLT WAS CORODED TO NEARLY NOTHING IN THE CENTER OF POSITIVE BOLT. I SEE WHERE ON THE NEWER G.M . TRUCKS THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED AND I SURE HOPE I DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
IN AUGUST 1997 ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE BATTERY LEAKED ACID THUS CORRODING THE AIR BAG SENSOR, POSITIVE & NEGATIVE CABLES & CORRODING OTHER METAL PARTS TO FRAME OF THE YUKON. THERE IS NOW VISIBLE RUST DUE TO THE ACID LEAK. GM DEALER MARTIN GMC REPLACED THE BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY. FOR THE SECOND TIME ON 11/24/99 WITH THE 1YR BATTERY GM REPLACED LEAKAGE OCCURED AGAIN. THIS TIME MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $543.94 FOR REPLACEMENT OF SENSOR, NEW FRONT BRAKES, & NEW ROTORS FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 54,194 MILES. ALSO, GM REFUSED TO REPLACE THE 1YEAR OLD BATTERY THAT WAS LEAKING BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY HAD LEAKED PREVIOUSLY UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WANTED ME TO PURCHASE A BATTER FOR $80.00. I REFUSES & PURCHASED A BATTERY AT WALMART. THIS ACID PROBLEM HAS CAUSED IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD & IT IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IS THERE ANY RECOURSE IN GETTING MY MONEY REFUNDED?
