FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
OUR GAS GAUGE ON OUR 2000 GMC YUKON COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. TOOK IT IN THINKING IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BROKEN. THE PROBLEM THAT COST US A LOT OF MONEY WAS THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FIRST, WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN ON A CAR THIS NEW WITH ONLY AROUND 50,000 MILES AND SECOND, WHY PUT THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE GAS TANK SO THAT IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX? *JB

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
I PULLED A BOAT WITH THE VEHICLE (2000 GMC YUKON XL 2500) ABOUT 275 MILES TO A LAKE AND PUT IT IN THE WATER. TOOK THE BOAT OUT OF THE WATER AND STARTED BACKING IT INTO A SPACE WHEN I HEARD A STRANGE "POP". THEN REALIZED THAT ALL POWER ASSISTED BRAKING AND STEERING WAS GONE. HAD TO LEAVE THE BOAT WHERE IT WAS, AND WAS HAPPY THE PROBLEM DIDN'T OCCUR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY. TESTED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE I COULD STEER AND STOP IT UNDER CAREFUL CIRCUMSTANCES, THEN DROVE IT DIRECTLY, SLOWLY, AND CAREFULLY TO THE DEALER ABOUT 50 MILES. MY OWN INVESTIGATION FOUND A RECALL ID NUMBER 05V005000: "HYDRAULIC PUMP DRIVESHAFT THAT CAN FRACTURE, RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRO-BOOST POWER BRAKES, THE SAME CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER ASSIST FOR BRAKING AFTER THE RESERVE PRESSURE IS DEPLETED." THE DEALER CONFIRMED THIS WAS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN - [XXX]. SEEMED STRANGE TO ME THAT 98000+ OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME TYPE FROM THE SAME YEAR ARE COVERED, BUT MINE WASN'T. NOW I SEE THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE WITH THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES AS MINE. I THINK THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE WIDENED. THOUGH I GOT NO INITIAL HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I CALLED THE GMC RECALL 800 NUMBER AND THEY DIRECTED ME BACK TO THE DEALERS GENERAL MANAGER AND SAID I SHOULD HAVE HIM SPEAK TO THE GM REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT COMPENSATION IN MY CASE. I DID THAT, AND AT LEAST THEY DID COVER THE COST OF THE PART (ABOUT $500), BUT NOT THE LABOR OF $193 TO REPLACE THE PUMP. I ASKED TO KEEP THE OLD PUMP AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD, BUT WAS NOT GIVEN THE PUMP OR AN EXPLANATION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP. THE RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER SEEMS TO INDICATE A "CORE RETURN" UNDER PARTS, SO I GUESS I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY TO KEEP THE OLD PART AND NOT RETURN IT. SINCE THE REPAIR, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING HAVE WORKED PROPERLY, EVEN IN TOWING. *JB UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT T

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS SENSOR WENT BAD IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY. ABS WOULD GO OFF ON DRY ROADS JUST BEFORE VEHICLE STOPPED. SOMETIMES THIS CAUSED OUR VEHICLE TO TAKE LONGER TO STOP. WE HAD THE WHOLE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY REPLACED BY A NON DEALER GARAGE TO THE TUNE OF $382.47. NOW ONE YEAR LATER THE PROBLEM IS BACK. I THINK GM HAS A BIG PROBLEM HERE AND SHOULD RECALL ALL THESE. OUR 2000 GMC YUKON XL ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WE ARE AFFECTED BY THE RECENT RECALL CONCERNING THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND ARE WAITING FOR THE NEW HARNESS PARTS TO ARRIVE. HOWEVER, ABOUT THE SAME TIME WE BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THAT, WE ALSO BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A STICKING ACCELERATOR. AFTER STARTING AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, THE THROTTLE STICKS AND IS OBVIOUSLY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM RATHER THAN A LUBRICATION ISSUE. ONCE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ROLL, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WE AHEV LIVED WITH THIS FOR SOME TIME AND HAVE RECENTLY DRIVEN TWO OTHER GMC PRODUCTS (2001 GMC 1500 YUKON XL AND A 2001 CHEVY 1500 PICKUP), THEY TOO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM QUITE CERTAIN THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A RECALL EVENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT WITH THE STICKING OF THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE OFTEN LURCHES FORWARD AFTER ENOUGH PRESSURE HAS BEEN EXERTED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF THIS PROBLEM IS. THANK YOU, DON TITUS 817-705-1064

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTILOCK BRAKES SLIP AT LOW SPEADS AND FAIL TO STOP VEHICLE. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD INCIDENCES IN RECENT WEEKS WHERE WE NEEDED TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND RESET STOPPING JUST BARELY IN TIME BEFORE A COLLISION. WE PLAN ON BRING THE CAR INTO GMC THIS WEEK. NO INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. OUR COMPLAINT SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020 OPENED ON 4-28-05.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS. FORTUNATELY NOT WHILE ON THE CURVY, SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN ROADS. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED TOWING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PUMP AND CHARGED $200. MUCH INCONVEIENCE WAS INCURRED, WE HAD TO BE RETRIVED FROM THE MOUNTAINS(65 MILES), TAKEN TO THE DEALER BY OTHERS TO RETRIVE VEHICLE, ETC. THERE'S A RECALL(ID 05V005000) OF 98,221 OF THIS EXACT MODEL AND YEAR FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. GMC CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL AND WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME THE $200, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SHUTTLE COST FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO HOME AND OTHER INCIDENTALS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
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

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
THIS RELATES TO THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED INVESTINGATION INTO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON GM LIGHT TRUCKS AND SUVS. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020 I OWN A 2000 YUKON XL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, IT DEVELOPED THE SLOW-SPEED ABS ACTIVATION PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN YOUR ABOVE-DESCRIBED ACTION, RESULTING IN OCCASIONAL INABILITY TO STOP PROPERLY AT STOP SIGNS AND PARKING SPACES. THE FREQUENCY OF INCIDENT INCREASED, UNTIL IN EARLY 2004, WE HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE WE BUMPED ANOTHER VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH WITH NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. WE THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP, WHO REPAIRED IT BY DISASSEMBLY, CLEANING AND REASSEMBLY, AT OUR EXPENSE, SINCE THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAD LAPSED. AS OF NOW, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT YET REOCCURRED, HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION, IT WILL REOCCUR. WE WOULD LIKE A PERMANENT FIX, AS WELL AS PERHAPS GM TO TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR ALREADY PERFORMED.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
1. DURING A FAMILY VACATION TO FLORIDA, MY BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED TO FAIL AT SLOW SPEEDS NORMALLY BETWEEN 5 AND 10MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BECOME STIFF AND THE SYSTEM WOULD MAKE NOISE LIKE THE ABS WAS BEING ACTIVATED. 2. BEING A FAMILY VEHICLE, I HAD THE REPAIR DONE IMMEDIATELY, THE TECHNICIANS IN FLORIDA WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH MY SYMPTOM. AT FIRST THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 3. THE CREW TOOK TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS TO FIGURE OUT FINALLY THAT THE FRONT WHEEL SENSORS FOR THE ABS WERE CORRODED (BECAUSE I LIVE IN MAINE) AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE SENSORS AND THIS ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL I HAVE EXPERIENCED ENGAGEMENT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND SUBSEQUENT INCREASED DISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS AT LOWER SPEEDS, 25-40MPH, AND GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS (DRY PAVEMENT). I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MAINTANCE WORK PREFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHEIRE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I REPORTED THE BRAKING PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGERAND ASKED THAT THE BRAKE AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BE INSPECTED. PRIOR TO VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM A TEST DRIVE WAS COMPLETED IN AN ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE BRAKING PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE "VIBRATION: WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT DID NOT POSE ANY SAFETY THREAT. I EXPLAINED AGAIN THAT THE "VIBRATION" WAS NOT FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IN THE BRAKE SHOE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND REPORTED TO HAVE 80% WEAR ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO AND STILL LOOKED GOOD. THERE WAS NO REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I REQUESTED TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. ALL MAINTANCE SERVICE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OIL AND FILTER CHANGES HAS BEEN DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR, 2000 GMC YUKON XL. WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SINCE IT SEEMS THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF THIS PART. AND THAT INFO COMES STRAIGHT FROM GM. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE APRIL 6TH FOR THIS PART AND AM TOLD THAT IT WILL BE MID-MAY SOMETIME WHEN I MAY ACTUALLY GET IT. THEY SAID THE DEMAND FOR THIS PART HAS BEEN GREAT THEY RAN OUT. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER, WHY WOULD THERE BE A SHORTAGE OF THIS WINDOW REGULATOR AND A HIGH DEMAND FOR THIS IF THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. *AK
