LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:LOCK, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE REAR HATCH OF OUR DENALI WORKS ITSELF OPEN. WE SHUT IT SUFFICIENTLY HARD, AND IN TIME, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE WARNING LIGHTS OVERHEAD AND ON THE DASH BOARD COME ON TELLING US THAT THE REAR HATCH IS OPEN. WE HAVE TO STOP TO OPEN AND RESHUT IT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO (3000 MILES) MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO PERIODICALLY MALFUNCTION. IT WOULD BEGIN TO SHOW ACCELERATION IN EXCESS OF 120 MPH EVEN THOUGH I WOULD BE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 45 MPH. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF IT WOULD SEEM TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY DEVELOPED INTO A FULL-TIME PROBLEM. NOW WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN PART IT MAY REGISTER FROM 70 TO 90 MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALER FOR A QUOTE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD FIXED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A NUMBER OF YUKONS AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *JB

THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THE ODOMETER CONTINUED TO REPRESENT CORRECT MILEAGE, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT REGISTER THE SPEED. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE HE SUGGESTED THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER COULD NOT PERFORM THE REPAIR BECAUSE OF A LACK OF PARTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND THEY EXPLAINED THE PARTS WERE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. *AK

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
DT: THE VEHICLE HAS POWER STEERING BUT STEERING TO THE LEFT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH RIGHT SIDE STEERING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED ,AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS UNLESS THE CONSUMER WOULD PAY FOR IT. THE CONSUMER OWNS AN AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE STEERING GEAR BOX. HE PURCHASED A NEW STEERING GEAR BOX AND REPLACED THE OLD ONE. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT 47,000 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS SINCE THE REPAIR. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ONE SIDE OF ENGINE BLOCK IS BURNING OUT ALL 4 SPARK PLUGS; NEED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION SENT TO OUR MECHANIC SO HE CAN FIX THIS PROBLEM. NO RESPONSE. ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TOTAL MILEAGE ON 2004 YUKON LL PURCHASED FROM DAVE SMITH AUTO, KELLOG IDAHO IN NOV OF 2004 IS 1,292. YES, THIS IS CORRECT. ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO MILES! I WOULD THINK GMC OR DAVE SMITH WOULD BE INTERESTED IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WITH A NEW VEHICLE. WAITING FOR THEM TO REPLY TO WARRANTY WORK. WE ARE A REMOTE SITE WOMEN'S SHELTER. WE NEED A VEHICLE THAT RUNS! *JB

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
DT: CONTACT STATES WHILE RIDING AS A PASSENGER IN FRONT OR BACK WHEN MOVING FORWARD OR THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED THE SEAT BELT WILL LOCK AND WILL NOT RELEASE. UNTIL THE SEAT BELT IS RELEASED THE OCCUPANT MOVES TRYING TO RELEASE THE TENSION. THIS CAUSES THE TENSION TO KEEP GETTING TIGHTER. THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE THE TENSION IN THE SEATBELT IS TO UNLATCH THE SEAT BELT. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THE SEAT BELTS WERE WORKING PROPERLY. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SERVICE DEALER, THEY STATED THIS WAS A DESIGN FAILURE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DO ABOUT IT. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DURING NORMAL DRIVING, BRAKE PEDAL WILL SOMETIMES GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN ATTEMPING TO STOP, AND VEHICLE WILL NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL. AFTER SECOND ATTEMPT, BRAKES START WORKING AGAIN. NO ERRORS REPORTED BY VEHICLE COMPUTER. WE HAVE ALREADY HIT A MAILBOX TRYING TO AVOID A CRASH, AND ALMOST ROLLED OVER ANOTHER TIME DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. TWO GM DEALERS HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEMS, AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO NOT BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THEM AS THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. PROBLEM HAPPENS APPROX. EVERY 5 WEEKS, NO CONSISTENCY OR EVENTS LEADING UP TO BRAKE LOSS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
DT: VEHICLE IS A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE DRIVING 25-35 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF ON THE CONSUMER. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY, WHICH WAS ON 6-24-05. THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON THEN THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER. THE CONSUMER CAN GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP BY APPLYING EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WHILE CONSUMER WAS STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT. LESS THAN 5 MINUTES LATER SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN. AFTERWARDS SHE WAS PULLING INTO A GAS STATION WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF THE SECOND TIME. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY. THE VEHICLE REMAINED THERE UNTIL 7-2, AND AT THIS TIME THEY TOLD HER THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WAS ON 7-3. THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING 30-35 MPH. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7-5. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE CONSUMER PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON 7-11. AND TODAY 7-12 THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND JERKING WHILE GOING 60 MPH. THIS PROBLEM WAS OFF AND ON UNTIL THE CONSUMER HAD STOPPED THE VEHICLE. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE BACK UP AND DRIVING 35-40 MPH IT STOPPED ON THE CONSUMER FOR THE FOURTH TIME. AND AS OF NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. ALL REPAIRS WERE DONE BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP AS PURCHASED FROM. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. AS OF NOW THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
"STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED" WAS DISPLAYED PRIOR TO THE BRAKES BEING ENGAGED WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A 'YAW SENSOR' REPLACED. THE PROBLEM RETURNED WITHIN 20 MILES. A SECOND SENSOR WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH REPROGRAMMING. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. DEALER STATES "GM HAS TOLD US TO DO NOTHING MORE". NO FURTHER EXPLANATION IS OFFERED BY THE DEALER OR GM "CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE". I BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT ACTIVATES BRAKES ON DRY PAVEMENT WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE PEDAL IS DANGEROUS.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
9-28-04: MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAD 22643 MILES ON IT. I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR THAT MORNING TO START IT UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. MECHANIC STATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP HAD WENT OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMPS ON THESE VEHICLES WERE FAULTY. THEY REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP. 5-24-05: MY YUKON HAD 50012 MILES ON IT. I GOT IN THE VEHICLE THAT MORNING TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. ONCE AGAIN IT HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT COST US APPROXIMATELY $900.00 TO REPAIR. THEY INFORMED US THAT THE NEWEST FUEL PUMP HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WE WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHEN MY HUSBAND ASKED WHY THE 2ND FUEL PUMP THEY PUT ON DID NOT HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY, WE WERE TOLD THAT GM DOESN'T WARRANTY ANY WARRANTY PARTS. BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS STRANDED WITH MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. EACH TIME THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMPS BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY MY FUEL PUMPS SEEM TO QUIT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 25000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY CAN'T GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS EITHER. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 GMC YUKON SLT -- INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN TRUCK WAS STARTED. ALL GAUGES (FUEL, BATTERY & WATER) BECAME INACTIVE. SHIFT INDICATOR NO LONGER WORKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT GEAR THE CAR WAS IN. AUDIO SYSTEM (CASSETTE, CD PLAYER AND RADIO) BECAME INOPERABLE. CAR TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP -- BECK & MASTEN NORTH IN HOUSTON. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. PREVIOUS ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GOING OUT, CAUSING SPEEDOMETER TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. DEALER ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM ON A NUMBER OF YUKONS. (I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS A A RECALL ON EITHER YOUR SITE OR GMC'S SITE.) GMC HAS VIOLATED FMVSS STANDARD NO. 101 AND PARTS 573 AND 577.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS A HORRIBLE BUBBLING OR GARGLING SOUND EMMITING FROM MY 2004 YUKON EXHAUST. IT SOUNDS REALLY BAD, ENOUGH TO TURN PEOPLES HEADS WHILE I'M SITTING AT THE CONVENEIENCE STORE OR A DRIVE THRU. THE DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM STATES THAT THEY ALL MAKE THIS SOUND, BUT I'M NOT STUPID. I KNOW OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR MODEL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I JUST WANT IT FIXED. IF I'M WILLING TO PAY $44,000 FOR A VEHICLE I EXPECT IT TO LOOK AND SOUND GREAT OR AT LEAST LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A NEW ONE. PLEASE HELP! *AK
