FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. IT IS USUALLY SAYING EMPTY WHEN THERE IS PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE GAUGE WILL DISPLAY THE PROPER AMOUNT. WITHIN MINUTES IT WILL SAY EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
BASICALLY MY LIFT GATE AND GLASS ARE STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION AND THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN THE LIFT GATE. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND GMC SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THE LOCK ACTUATOR TO REPLACE THEM ALL WITH A REPLACEMENT PART TO ENSURE NO ONE GETS STUCK INSIDE THERE VEHICLE. THIS PART ALONG WITH INSTALLATION CAN RUN YOU UP TO $1K SO I CAN SEE PEOPLE IGNORING THIS PROBLEM UNTIL IT BECOMES A PUBLIC CONCERN. I WISH GMC WOULD FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AT THE INITIAL START UP AND THE FOLLOW ON DRIVE SELECTION OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVE SELECTOR INDICATOR ON THE (SPEEDO) SPEED CLUSTER FAILS TO LIGHT UP TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE EXACT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. DURING LOW LIGHT TIMES THE INDICATION IS BARELY VISIBLE AND DAY LIGHT HOURS YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE INDICATION TO ENSURE THE PROPER GEAR OF VEHICLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN SELECTING WRONG GEAR. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI REAR TAILGATE / HATCH IS LOCKED AND THE ELECTRONIC LOCK MOTIVATOR WILL NOT OPEN THE REAR TAILGATE / HATCH. THERE IS NO KEY NOR MANUAL WAY TO OPEN REAR TAILGATE / HATCH. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT IT WOULD COST TO FIX ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE NO MORE THAN $450.00. SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS THREE ROWS OF SEATS THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN THIS REAR TAILGATE / HATCH FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE THIRD ROW OF SEATS TO GET OUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED AN ALTERNATE WAY TO OPEN THIS HATCH FOR EMERGENCY'S. WHETHER IT WOULD BE A KEY FROM THE OUTSIDE OR A DOOR HANDLE ON THE INSIDE. WE FEEL THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND IT SHOULD INCLUDE VARIOUS YEARS OF THIS GMC VEHICLE, THE CHEVROLET TAHOE, AND THE CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WHICH HAVE THE SAME SETUP FOR THIS SAFETY REASON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND REVIEW OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
IT APPEARS IN MY INVESTIGATING THIS THROUGH ONLINE SEARCHES AND FORUMS, THERE ARE 1000'S OF GM VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THEIR SPEEDOMETERS QUIT WORKING AND IS QUITE A MONEY MAKER FOR GM AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS, SINCE THEY 'HAVE' TO DO IT SO IT CAN BE REPROGRAMMED FOR MILEAGE AUTHENTICITY! WITH THESE 1000'S OF GM VEHICLES HAVING FAULTY SPEEDOMETERS, OR OTHER FAULTY GAUGES...MINE IS STUCK ON 120MPH!! DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN U REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING!! I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF, AND NOT BECAUSE OF NORMAL USE AND WEAR!! MY 2005 GMC YUKON DENALI WOULD COST $510 + TAX AND HAVE TO B SENT AWAY TO B REPAIRED.... PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND ADD THIS TO ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS GM IS HAVING AND LET'S NOT PUT IT TO THE CONSUMER LIKE THEY HAVE AND ARE DOING! THANK YOU!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
I LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET. I LIVE ON A STEEP HILL AND MY BRAKES AND POWER STEERING FAILED. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE GASKET BETWEEN THE POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM. IT FAILS. GMC KNOWS THIS. I HAVE HAD THIS GASKET REPLACED THREE TIMES IN 5 YEARS AND IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER MOVES TO 0 AFTER 40 MINUTES OF DRIVING, EVEN AT FREEWAY SPEED. ONCE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE REACHES 0, IT STAYS THERE, EVEN WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT 60-70 MPH. TURNING ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN DOES NOT RESET IT. AFTER LETTING VEHICLE SIT OVERNIGHT, IT BECOMES OPERATIONAL AGAIN, THEN WILL GO BACK TO 0 AFTER 30-35 MINUTES OF DRIVING. DENALI HAS VERY FEW MILES ON IT FOR ITS AGE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
THIS IS THE 2ND OCCURRENCE OF THE SAME INCIDENT IN 3 MONTHS. WHILE MOVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT, THE ENGINE JUST STOPS. NO SHUDDER, NO ROUGH IDLE, NO WARNING. WITHOUT POWER, STEERING IS IMPAIRED OR IMPOSSIBLE. TURNING THE IGNITION KEY RESTARTS THE ENGINE NORMALLY. JIGGLING THE KEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
WINTER 2014, CONNECTICUT - BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY PEDDLE FELT MUSHY AND GOING DOWN FARTHER THAN NORMAL. DROVE SON TO SCHOOL QUARTER MILE TO SCHOOL AND NOTED THE LACK OF BRAKING ABILITY. LUCKILY ROLLING STOPS AND KEEPING DISTANCE FROM OTHER CARS ALLOWED ME TO GET BACK HOME. LOOKED UNDER CAR, DRIPPING BRAKE FLUID FROM UNDER MIDDLE OF CARD. HAD THE SENSE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER; FOR THE $2400 ESTIMATE, THEY ALSO SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION LINES WERE LEAKING SO ESTIMATE ALSO INCLUDED THE LABOR/PARTS TO REPLACE BOTH SETS OF LINES TO FIX BOTH LINE RELATED ISSUES. I'VE ALSO HAD THE MISS PLEASURE OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ($3500) THIS YEAR AS WELL. SLIPPING AND EVENTUALLY IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SO HAD TO OPEN THE WALLET FOR THAT. ANOTHER ISSUE (ELECTRICAL) - I SHUT THE CAR OFF WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR ON (HEATER IN THE WINTER) AND THE BLOWER MOTOR STAYED ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, NO KEYS. IT CONTINUED TO RUN AND WOULD HAVE DRAINED THE BATTERY HAD I NOT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. PULLING THE FUSE HAD NO EFFECT. ($600) I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS IN THE FRONT BUMPER. ONE WENT AND TWO WEEKS LATER THE OTHER WENT. NO IMPACTS, THEY JUST DIED. ($1200 FOR BOTH). I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AIR SHOCKS ($2500) I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED (SUPPOSEDLY GM CERTIFIED)) FROM A CHEVY DEALER NOT MORE THAN 3 YEARS AGO WITH 75K MILES. I NOW HAVE 99K MILES. AS I SIT AND TYPE THIS ALL DOWN FOR THIS SUBMISSION, I REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH HAS GONE WRONG WITH THIS CAR & MATCHES UP WITH OTHER OWNER STATEMENTS ON THIS WEBSITE. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
MICHELIN LTX M/S P235/55R20 TIRES. ALL FOUR TIRES ARE LOSING AIR (FILLED WITH NITROGEN). OWNER CONSISTENTLY HAVE TO TAKE TO COSTCO TO INFLATE TIRES TO CORRECT AIR PRESSURE. THE SIDE WALLS SHOW EXCESSIVE CRACKS. TIRES TREAD VERY GOOD. WARRANTY WILL NOT ADDRESS MY CONCERN. VEHICLE IS ONLY USE FOR LONG DISTANCE TRAVELING. DOT INFO ON TIRES: REAR B39Y 56EX 2511 AND FRONT B79Y 4FJX 1609/0000. MICHELIN RECALL IS ONLY ON ONE SIZE TIRE: LT 225/75R16.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-95 NEAR COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VA: AUTO IN FRONT OF ME MADE A SUDDEN STOP AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR; NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS, LUCKILY THE CAR IN FRONT PROCEEDED AND I MISSED HITTING HIM BY ABOUT 3 FEET. MADE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT RAMP AND HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKES, USING PARKING BRAKE, AND NOW THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE COMING ON. PULLED INTO GAS STATION, BIG PUDDLE UNDER THE VEHICLE; REAR BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT AND BLOWN. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SPLIT BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT THE FRONT BRAKES WOULD NOT HOLD EITHER. HAD THE CAR TOWED 25 MILES BACK TO MY HOME GMC DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT ALL OF MY BRAKE LINES NEEDED REPLACEMENT AS THEY WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE AND WERE RUSTED. TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES WAS ABOUT $1,500.00. DUE TO USING THE PARKING BRAKES DAMAGE WAS ALSO DONE TO THE REAR ROTORS AND PARKING BRAKE PADS, THAT WAS ANOTHER $300.00. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2008, IT'S A WEEKEND OR TRIP DRIVER. SINCE I'VE HAD IT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN IN SNOW OR ON THE STREET UNTIL ALL THE SALT RESIDUE HAD BEEN WASHED AWAY. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS IS A VIRGINIA VEHICLE, NOT IN THE SALT BELT. I ALSO HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON SLT; WENT UNDER IT YESTERDAY AND THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED ON THAT TOO. FUNNY THE FUEL LINES RUN NEXT TO THEM BUT THEY ARE NOT RUSTED. I WILL ENTER THAT ONE ALSO IN THE DATABASE, THEY WILL SURELY FAIL IF NOT REPLACED. *TR
