SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY AT LOW SPEEDS. OFTEN WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE, AND ALWAYS WITHOUT WARNING. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. SEVERAL MECHANICS (INCLUDING GMC) HAVE TRIED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. EACH HAD AN EXPENSIVE SOLUTION, NONE OF WHICH HAS WORKED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH IS DESTINED TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE (SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR) ON YOUR WEBSITE. *JB

BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. WENT TO THE DEALER AND BASICALLY SAID THE RECALL WOULD NOT GO INTO AFFECT UNTIL NOVEMBER 2005.

SEATS
FAILURE OF DRIVER SEAT MOUNTING ON THE WINDOW SIDE. *MR THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THE MOUNTING HOLES, ONE ON EACH CORNER OF THE SEAT, WERE RETROFITTED ON THE WINDOW-SIDE (FRONT & REAR) BY SPOT WELDING A THREADED WASHER ABOUT THREE INCHES TO THE RIGHT OF THE CORNER HOLES TO FACILITATE MOUNTING OF THE SEAT TO THE RAIL ON THE FLOORBOARD. THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN CAUSED METAL FATIGUE SURROUNDING THE SPOT-WELDED WASHERS, RESULTING IN THE SEAT BREAKING LOOSE. *SC *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON VARIOUS AREAS OF MY YUKON. THIS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BARELY FIVE YEARS OLD AND GETS WORSE AND WORSE. I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE THE MANY GMC'S ON THE ROAD THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING. NOT A VERY APPEALING REPRESENTATION OF THESE VEHICLES WHEN CHUNKS OF PAINT ARE MISSING. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RESOLUTION TO THE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PAINT JOB?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT FAILURE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING MY 1995 GMC YUKON, TWO TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. HAVE TRIED TO GET INFORMATION FROM GMC ON HOW TO HAVE MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP FIX THE PROBLEM. GMC RESPONSE WAS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL FIGURE IT OUT. HOW LONG COULD THAT TAKE AT MY EXPENSE? ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET THE 1995-96 YUKON'S WERE SUBJECT TO THIS PROBLEM. THEREFORE GMC SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THEIR DEALER HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANK YOU.*JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
JUST HAD DIESEL FUEL INJECTION PUMP NUMBER 4 INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. LAST ONE RAN JUST OVER 25,000 MILES. THIS PUMP FAILS WITHOUT WARNING AND UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES IT CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. GM ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRENTY FOR THESE PUMPS. IVE EXPERIENCED FAILURE WITH THEIR LATEST PUMP AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.. THE ENGINE WILL FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER AND ANY SPEED, INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF THIS DOESNT WARRANT A SAFETY INVESTIGATION I DONT KNOW WHAT DOES.JUST HAD DIESEL FUEL INJECTION PUMP NUMBER 4 INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. LAST ONE RAN JUST OVER 25,000 MILES.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AT STARTUP OR DURING TRAVEL, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT WILL EITHER NOT ILLUMINATE OR GO OUT. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER HAS DIFFICULTY DISTINGUISHING WHICH GEAR THE CAR IS IN.DURING THE EVENING HOURS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM IS AN INTERMITTENT. ALL SO I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TACH AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES DO NOT WORK EITHER WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOT WORKING.
