ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OF THE GMC YUKON POSSES A GREAT RISK OF COSTLY REPAIRS AND THE POSSIBLITY OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER BECAUSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE RADIO WENT OUT. I ASSUMED THAT MAYBE A FUSE HAD WENT OUT. BUT WHEN ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO REPLACE THE BLOWN FUSE, THOSE FUSES BLEW ALSO. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT A SHORTING OF THE WIRING OCCURRED BECAUSE SODA WAS SPILLED IN THE REAR CUP HOLDER. THIS CAUSED THE RADIO, SPEEDOMETER, HEAT, ETC... TO GO OUT ON THE FRONT DASH PANEL IN ADDITION TO MAKING SOMETHINGS COME ON WHEN THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. BECAUSE OF THE SPILLAGE CLAIM FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THIS I WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. MY PROBLEM IS THIS, IF A LEAKAGE FROM A CUP-HOLDER CAN CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE, SHOULD THOSE WIRES BE SO EASILY EXPOSED? SHOULDN'T THERE BE SOME TYPE OF SAFETY MECHINISM IN PLACE TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING. THIS VEHICLE IS PROMOTED AS A FAMILY CAR, BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE SAFE FOR A FAMILY. IF THE WIRES ARE SO CLOSE TO THE SURFACE UNPROTECTED THAT SODA COULD GO INTO IT FROM A CUP HOLDER, WHAT ABOUT A LITTLE CHILD HAND. I HAVE A TWENTY MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN A CAR SEAT IN THE REAR, SHE OFTEN DRINKS FROM A SIP-IT-CUP WHILE BACK THERE. SIP-IT-CUP RARELY LEAK, SO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT AN AMOUNT GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS MUCH DAMAGE COULD OCCUR? SOME SORT OF SAFETY MECHANISM NEEDS TO BE INSTALL TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH THESE WIRES. THESE WIRES CAUSE QUITE A BIT OF SYSTEMS TO FAIL ON THE VEHICLE. WHAT'S NEXT ? I HATE TO IMAGINE THAT IF THIS OCCURS AGAIN THAT MAYBE IT WON'T BE THE RADIO THAT GOES OUT MAYBE IT WILL BE A FIRE THAT STARTS OR MAYBE THE ENTIRE CAR MIGHT EXPLODE. A SAFETY RECALL IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER.

AIR BAGS
VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER SUV ("T-BONE"). SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH HIT BRAKES, BUT OTHER VEHICLE PULLED IMMEDIATELY OUT IN FRONT OF VEHICLE IN QUESTION. SMASHED FRONT END OF VEHICLE EQUALLY ON BOTH SIDES (SQUARE IMPACT) AND CAUSED CONTENTS FROM VEHICLE TO COME FROM FAR BACK TO THE FRONT SEATS. WENT FROM 45-0 MPH IN A FEW FEET (ALMOST FLIPPED OTHER SUV), YET AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FORCE CAUSED SEATBELT TO COMPLETELY STRETCH OUT AND LOCK IN PLACE PERMANENTLY. (WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTERWARDS) ALL WITNESSES INCLUDING POLICE, TOW TRUCK, AND INSURANCE COMPANY SAY AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE CAR IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIRS AND WE ARE TERRIFIED TO GET IT BACK IN REPAIRED CONDITION. WE DO NOT WISH TO ENDANGER THE LIVES OF OUR FAMILY AND GM IS NOT REPLYING. DT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
FUEL TANK/FILLER ASSEMBLY CAUSES VAPORS TO BACKUP INTO GAS PUMPS EQUIPPED WITH VAPOR RECLAMATION SYSTEMS. THIS CAUSES A GAS PUMP SO EQUIPPED TO SHUTOFF PREMATURILY WHEN REFILLING THE VEHICLES FUEL TANKS FROM ANY PERCENTAGE OF CAPICITY. THERE FOR, FILLING THE TANK BECOMES ESPECIALLY TIME CONSUMING, FRUSTURATING AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDEOUS AS ONE IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO OVERRIDE THE SYSTEMS AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF INORDER TO PUT ANY REASONABLE QUANTITY OF GALLONS INTO THE VEHICLES FUEL TANK. IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHETHER THE GAS PUMPS AUTO SHUTOFF IS BEING TRIGGERED BY FUEL BACKUP DUE TO TANK DESIGN PROBLEMS OR THE TANK ACTUALLY STARTING TO OVERFILL.*AK
