2000 GMC YUKON

2000 GMC YUKON STALLS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN PAST 17 YEARS. GM DEALER NOR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC COULD REPAIR NOR WHAT IS CAUSING PROBLEM.

THE SECOND ROW SEATING IN MY SUV IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE OPTION TO LAY DOWN OR SIT UP LIKE NORMAL. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT OF THE LARGE SECTION TO LAY THE SEAT FLAT. *TR

THE SECOND ROW SEATING IN MY SUV IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE OPTION TO LAY DOWN OR SIT UP LIKE NORMAL. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT OF THE LARGE SECTION TO LAY THE SEAT FLAT, THE CABLE BROKE AS IF IT HAD BEEN READY TO SNAP FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE SMALLER SIDE HASN'T SNAPPED YET BUT I AM SURE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED FAILURES RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5-10 MPH WHILE INITITATING A TURN, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

COMING TO A STOP AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR....MY VEHICLE THEN ROLLED INTO INTERSECTION CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND BRAKE LINE BURST. TO REMEDY SITUATION I REPLACED ALL BRAKE LINES. *TR

VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED WITH HEADS THAT WOULD CRACK OVER TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT FOR OVER A YEAR AND CAUSED MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE A RECALL/COMPENSATION FROM GM. *JS

BROUGHT YUKON IN TO KOONS GMC IN MANASSAS, VIRGINIA IN 2012 FOR TWO RECALLS WHICH I WAS TOLD WERE BOTH DONE ALONG WITH GETTING AN ESTIMATE FOR $3300 FOR LARGELY AN INTAKE MANIFOLD. I HAVE CALLED GM CORP AND BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES OVER THAT PAST TWO YEARS AS MORE CARS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO RECALL LISTS THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE; NOW GM CORPORATE SAYS THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL (NECESSARY TO AVOID LOW SPEED CRASHES) WAS ACTUALLY NEVER PERFORMED AND GM CORPORATE CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH DEALERSHIPS IN THE DC AREA AND GM CORPORATE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS (EXCEEDING 10 TOTAL CALLS) SINCE THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS LEFT TO PERFORM ON THIS YUKON. PRESUMABLY THE HEADREST RECALL I BROUGHT IT INTO KOONS IN MANASSAS, VA AS A SECOND AFTERTHOUGHT TO THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL WAS THE ONLY THING THEY ENDED UP DOING OTHER THAN GIVING ME AN ESTIMATE FOR OVER $3300 FOR WORK THAT HAS NEVER NEEDED TO BE DONE. MY UNANSWERED QUESTION TO GM CORPORATE WAS "I'S THIS HOW YOUR GOING TO HANDLE THE IGNITION RECALLS?" ADDITIONALLY, GM CLAIMS TO BE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHETHER MY IGNITION SWITCH IS THE SAME IN DESIGN AS ANY OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. DO AMERICANS CITIZENS NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST THAT MUCH "PROPRIETARY"-PROTECTED INFORMATION FROM GM? GM CORPORATE'S SPECIALIST CLAIMED TO OBJECT TO MY MENTIONING THAT I, TOO, MIGHT RECORD THE CALL. KOONS ALSO NEVER NOTICED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BROKEN OUT THE ABS LIGHT BECAUSE PRIOR TO THE RECALL (WHICH SHOULD HAVE LATER TIPPED ME OFF THAT THEY DID NOT ACTUALLY CLEAN THE WHEEL SENSOR AND CHECK THE ABS LIGHT SINCE IT WAS NOT ON THE $3300 ESTIMATE OF NECESSARY REPAIRS), BECAUSE NOBODY REALLY KNEW THEN WHY THE ABS LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A RETALIATORY ACT. I MENTIONED TO KOONS SND GM CORPORATE BEFORE SERVICE THAT I WAS DISABLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN WHEN THE BRAKES FELT A LITTLE SOFT. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE. I PUT IN A HALF A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID INTO THE RESERVOIR. I DROVE TO THE HOUSE AND PARKED IT. SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER PARKING THERE WAS THE BEGINNING OF A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID. I MADE SEVERAL OTHER STOPS AND AT EACH STOP BRAKE FLUID WAS BEGINNING TO LEAK WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

DRIVING ON SOUTH ON ROUTE 95 THROUGH CONNECTICUT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON 17AUG12. HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY DUE TO TRAFFIC INCIDENT AHEAD. APPLIED BRAKES BUT LINE BURST AND PEDDLE WENT TO FLOOR. CAR WOULD NOT STOP BUT FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO BREAKDOWN LANE TO ALLOW LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR ENDING CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT HIGH SPEED. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY FOUND THE LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED DUE TO RUST. DEALER REPLACED 40" OF BRAKE LINE. A SIMILAR EVENT OCCURRED DURING MAY OF 2013 ON ROUTE 3 IN MASSACHUSETTS. A COLLISION WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE PEDAL ABNORMALLY TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND BECAME STUCK IN POSITION. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED, CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I WAS JUST BACKING UP TO HITCH A TRAILER WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THANKFULY IT HAPPENED BEFORE I HOOKED THE TRAILER AS I WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT TOWING A TRAILER WITH NO BRAKES! *TR I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SAW IT WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR, BRAKE LINE HAD BURST.

BRAKE LINE FROM ABS MODULE TO REAR BRAKES FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. *TR

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION STOP LIGHT, AT THE SPEED OF UNDER 10 MPH, THE ABS BRAKES SUDDENLY KICKED IN AND PULSATED, NOT ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO STOP. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH A STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, CAUSING ME TO PANIC AND STUMP ON THE BRAKES HARD BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE PARKING BLOCKS IN FRONT OF A BUSINESS. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANICS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ABS WARNING LIGHT OR ERROR CODE, WE ELECTED TO REPLACE BOTH ABS SPEED SENSORS AS A PRECAUTION. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I DECIDED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES INCLUDING ROTORS REPLACED AS A PRECAUTION. THE PROBLEM STILL ACCURES WITH EVERY SLOWER SPEED ATTEMP TO STOP. I AM VERY RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I DUE, I HAVE TO BEGIN MY BRAKING WELL IN ADVANCE AND AT A INCREASED DISTANCE FROM WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO STOP. *TT

MY GMC YUKON EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR 3 MONTH OLD SON AND LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A FIELD. WHEN I ARRIVED, I FOUND A PUDDLE OF FLUID UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FROM BADLY CORRODED STEEL BRAKE LINES. AFTER ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF ONLINE RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR STORIES; SOME OF WHICH ENDED MUCH WORSE. CLEARLY THIS IS A QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, CAUSING AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND TIME. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK) BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TWICE BUT IT ALSO DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

AFTER NO WARNING (LIGHTS, CHIMES OR ALARMS), APPLIED BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES. LUCKILY IT WAS VERY EARLY AND NOBODY WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN I BLEW THROUGH A STOP SIGN INTERSECTION. *TR LOCAL DEALER SAYS ALUMINUM BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND HAD RUPTURED. NEARLY $2000 TO REPLACE ALUMINUM BRAKE LINES WITH STEEL. EVERYONE KNOWS WHEN YOU PLACE DIFFERENT METALS IN CONTACT WHERE THEY CAN GET WET, YOU WILL GET ELECTRO-CHEMICAL CORROSION OF THE WEAKER METAL, IN THIS CASE, ALUMINUM. THAT'S WHY BOATS USE ALUMINUM AND ZINC AS A SACRIFICIAL METAL IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS - TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM CORROSION. THIS IS SURELY AN ENGINEERING FLAW. ON MY YUKON, THE ALUMINUM BRAKE LINES ARE ATTACHED TO THE STEEL FRAME UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHERE THEY ARE SURE TO GET WET ANYTIME IT RAINS, THUS GUARANTEEING THE WEAKER ALUMINUM METAL WILL CORRODE. I HAVE A 45-YEAR-OLD MUSTANG WITH ORIGINAL BRAKE LINES (STEEL) AND NO CORROSION. 10 YEARS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR BRAKE LINES TO BE CORRODED TO THE POINT OF CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE THROUGH NORMAL USE AND NORMAL WEATHER. I LIVE IN MARYLAND, NOT ALASKA. OUR WEATHER IS AVERAGE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2000 YUKON A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, AND WHILE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN NOT TWO MILES FROM OUR HOME, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME, AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER I AM INCREDIBLY WORRIED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, AND MY INFANT SON SITS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. NOT ONLY WOULD THE INCREDIBLY LOUD 'GUNSHOT' SOUND HAVE POSSIBLY DAMAGED HIS EARS, BUT THE SMOKY AFTERMATH THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE FOR BOTH CHILDREN'S LUNGS. AIRBAGS ARE AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE THAT IS UNPARALLELED WHEN THEY OPERATE CORRECTLY. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS FAULTY WIRING OR SENSORS IN THIS MODEL SUV FOR THE SIDE SEAT AIRBAG TO GO OFF NOT ONLY WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE REST OF THE VEHICLES AIRBAG SENSORS, BECAUSE I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SPONTANEOUSLY GO OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, HOWEVER IT WAS A SUNDAY AND WE WERE TOLD NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO HELP US. A VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, THE 21ST, AND MY HUSBAND RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE INSPECTOR LATER THAT NIGHT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INCIDENT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE INSPECTOR THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING A CALL FROM GMC WITH THE DETAILS AND OUTCOME OF THE INSPECTION. IT IS NOW THURSDAY THE 23RD, AND EVEN AFTER TWO PHONE CALLS I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. I HAVE NOW BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR TWELVE DAYS, AND STILL CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TRANSPORTING MY CHILDREN. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT GMC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REMEDYING THE PROBLEM AND ASSURING ME THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNDER ANY PREMATURE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

JUNE 2010 AS I WAS PULLING MY 2000 GMC YUKON INTO A PARKING SPACE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE FACING ME. LIMITED DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO STOP MY VEHICLE FROM HITTING THE OTHER CAR. THERE HAD BEEN NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. SINCE THEN MY VEHICLE HAS CONTINUED TO LOCK UP AT RANDOM. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2005 IN SOME OTHER STATES WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OF COURSE THE STATE I LIVE IN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND ONCE A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, IT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AGAIN IN OTHER STATES. THEREFORE, I AM FACED WITH THE EXPENSES OF FIXING A PROBLEM THE GMAC KNOWS EXIST AT MY EXPENSE!!!!! I'M SURE IT WILL NOT BE CHEAP. THANK YOU GMAC!!! *TR

RIGHT FRONT RUNNING LIGHT ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON DOES NOT LIGHT. I SEE THE SAME PROBLEM ON MANY GMC AND CHEVROLET TRUCKS AND SUVS. THE PROBLEM MAY APPEAR IN A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE VEHICLES. WHEN I REMOVE THE HOUSING FOR THE LIGHT IT USUALLY HOLDS WATER FROM RAIN OR CAR WASHES. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE HOUSING WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WAS POKED WITH A SCREWDRIVER. A NEW BULB WILL ONLY LAST FOR 100 MILES OR SO, THEN IT WILL SHORT OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS HE EXPERIENCES UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ACTIVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V3790000(SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTI-LOCK). THE FAILURE RE-OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE RECALL REMEDY WAS INSUFFICIENT AND DID NOT ADDRESS THE RECALL DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERN OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 11/18/09. *LJ UPDATED 11/19/09*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. HE STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO RECALL# 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTI LOCK) AT 60,000 MILES. AT 105,000 MILES HE BEGAN EXPERIENCING UNWANTED ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, HE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

GMC YUKON 2000 THIRD FUEL PUMP SINCE PURCHASED CAR NEW. GM REFUSE TO RECALL MINE. WHAT CAN WE DO? *TR

FUEL CUT OFF TO ENGINE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

MY 2000 YUKON'S FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING OUR FAMILY ON HWY 94 EAST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE STATION WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE APPROX. 20 FAILED FUEL PUMP MODULES AND ASSURED ME THAT THEY WILL INSTALL THE UPGRADED PUMP THAT DOES NOT "BURN" WHEN THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH LOW FUEL LEVEL!!! I GOOGLED THE FAILURE AND CAME TO YOUR RECALL 05V155000 AND THE GM 05027 BUT GMC DOES NOT HONOR IT FOR MY VIN NUMBER??? WHAT IS SURPRISING IS THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE NEW PUMP FROM THE DEALER THEY HAD THE "UPGRADED" ACDELCO ONE ON THE SELF BUT OTHER THAN THAT I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM ACCORDING TO OUR VIN NUMBER!!! SO I THOUGHT THAT IF EVERY GMC OWNER REPORTS HERE MAYBE THEY WILL GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER THERE IN GM AND INSTALL SOMETHING OF A BETTER QUALITY FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THEIR $40K VEHICLES!!! A VERY UPSET BUT LOYAL GM OWNER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSES THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS, HE CAN FEEL THE ABS PULSATING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE IS MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. ALSO, THE CONTACT HEARS A HUMMING SOUND WHENEVER THE FAILURE OCCURS. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES BEFOREHAND AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 174,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000.

PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION ( LINITIAL LACK OF ADJUSTMENT) REF: SERVICE BULLETIN #010526001 NHTSA 3619514. CONCERN WITH THE FACT A DEALER CHARGE IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT A DEFECT WHICH CAN LEAD TO HAZARDOUS CONDITION. *TR

ABS ACTIVATED AT LOW SPEED IN MY DRIVEWAY. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 GMC YUKON (NON-XL). I WAS TURNING AROUND IN A PARKING LOT AND HEARD A CRUNCH IN THE FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT AND CONTINUED ONTO THE STREET, THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. I HAD TO STRONG ARM IT HOME. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THE 2000 GMC YUKON XL HAD IN FACT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SYMPTOMS THAT MY VEHICLE HAD (NON XL). I CALLED GMC THE NEXT DAY AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I ASKED THEM IF THE SAME RECALLED POWER STEERING PARTS ARE USED FOR THE STANDARD AND THE XL YUKON. THE GMC REPRESENTATIVE WOULD NOT SAY YES OR NO, JUST NOT NECESSARILY IS ALL HE WOULD SAY. I TOLD THEM REGARDLESS THAT THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THE STANDARD YUKON DUE TO THE FACT THAT OURS DID THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE YUKON XL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AND THAT THIS WAS A LIFE OR DEATH TYPE FAILURE IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES (IE; DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED). GMC REQUESTED THAT I TAKE MY YUKON TO THE DEALER AND FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAD BROKE. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY (MORE SORE ARMS) AND LEFT IT FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THE DAMAGE THAT HAD BEEN DONE. THE DEALER GOT BACK TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP, SHAFT, ACTUATOR, AS WELL AS THE MOUNTING BRACKET HAD FAILED. THE DEALER HAD TALKED TO THE LOCAL GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD HELP WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THEY HOWEVER TOLD US THAT THEY WERE NOT BUYING THE PART OR THE LABOR BUT THEY WOULD OFFER $200 TOWARD THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND WE WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE BALANCE $350 FOR A TOTAL OF $550 TO REPAIR. I AM ALSO CURIOUS IF GMC WILL BE REPLACING MY BROKEN PARTS WITH THE EXACT SAME PARTS THAT ARE DESTINED TO BREAK AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD EXPECT UPGRADED PARTS, BUT MAYBE THEY JUST WANT OUR BUSINESS AGAIN A YEAR OR TWO WHEN IT BREAKS AGAIN, THAT IS, IF WE LIVE THROUGH IT NEXT TIME. *JB

THREE WINDOW IN MY YUKON HAVE NOW FAILED. THE FIRST WAS THREE YEARS AGO WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY ABOUT THREE YEARS OLD. TWO MORE HAVE NOW FAILED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS COMMON TO YUKON'S. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP DRIVING 5 MPH THE BRAKES FAILED AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. SEAT BELTS WERE IN USE BY ALL 3 OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED TO THE DRIVER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WERE ON SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THE ABS LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V37900, REGARDING THE SERVICE BRAKES, ANTILOCK. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

MY 2000 GMC YUKON STARTED LEAKING GAS FROM THE FUEL PUMP INTO THE ELECTRICAL OF THE FUEL PUMP. THIS COULD BE SERIOUS AND COULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO EXPLODE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE DEATH OCCURS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE IS AN NHTSA RECALL, 05V379000 CONCERNING THE ABS, HOWEVER THE RECALL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. PRIOR TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE REGARDING THIS BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTIES STOPPING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME THE FRONT BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE LAST TIME THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE DEALER HAS AGREED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AGAIN.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE ABS ENGAGED. AS A RESULT, THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS INCREASED. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V379000, REGARDING THE ABS. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED; HOWEVER NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. UPDATED 03/28/06. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V379000 CONCERNING THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. THE REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE. *AK THE CONSUMER DISABLED THE ABS. UPDATED 01/11/06. *JB

- INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS EVERYTIME THE GAS TANK IS FULL - ANYTIME THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN OR IN PARK IT SHOWS THE EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN OVER A BUMP OR SOMETHING. - I LOOKED ON LINE AND I NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN ALREADY A SERVICE RECALL ISSUED BUT NOT FOR THE YUKON, ITS FOR THE YUKON XL HOWEVER I CONTACTED GMC AND I EXPLAINED THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE XL, THERE RESPONSE WAS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THE YUKON. WITH IN MIND THAT BOTH OF THESE VEHICLE LINES USE OR SHARE MOST OF THEIR PARTS. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 31 MPH ON A GRAVEL ROAD IN DRY CONDITIONS THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT STRUCK A TREE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT PASSENGER HAD TO BE EXTRACTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD COLLAPSED INTO THE FRONT SEAT ALONG WITH THE FIREWALL. THERE WERE 3 INJURIES, AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. A GM REPRESENTATIVE RETRIEVED THE BLACK DETECTION BOX, VERIFIED THE SPEED OF 31 MPH, AND DETERMINED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. GM PURCHASED THE SALVAGED VEHICLE FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND DESTROYED IT. *AK

REF PRESENT RECALL ON 1999-2002 CHEVY & GMC SILVERADO, YUKON LIGHT TRUCKS. I NOTICE THAT RUST IS THE FACTOR IN THE ANTI-LOCK SENSOR RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO FURTHER ADD THAT RUST IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR BREAKDOWN IN ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE A 2000 YUKON WITH 26000 MILES THAT HAS EXTREME RUST DECAY TO REAR AXLE BACKING PLATES AND FRONT ROTORS. THE LOCAL DEALER WHEN QUESTIONED ADMITTED ITS DUE TO RUST BELT ISSUES. I DID NOTICE THAT GM HAS ADMITTED TO HAVING RUST BELT ISSUES WITH ITS BRAKING SYSTEM. WHY ARE YOU NOT REQUIRING THEM TO MITIGATE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WHICH IS EFFECTED? ARE THEY NOT PART & PARCEL OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM? WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER BE SADDLED WITH THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR OF REPLACING THESES COMPONENTS WHICH IF THEY HAVE NOT FAILED SERIOUSLY IMPAIR THE BRAKING AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLES IN QUESTION. MY MECHANIC ADVISES THAT HE HAS HAD MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES COME IN FOR REPAIRS WITH IDENTICAL RUST DISINTEGRATION. THE AREA OF VEHICLE SALE & USE IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN EXCUSE BY THE MANUFACTURER. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AT A LOW SPEED ON A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP LATER FOUND THAT THE STAINLESS BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING. THE ROAD CONDITION WAS PAVEMENT ON A DRY ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL BRAKING. THE CONSUMER HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED ON HER VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SHE HAS EXPERIENCED BRAKING PROBLEMS. REPAIR INVOICES ARE AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *NM *JB

AT SLOW BRAKING SPEEDS {AT 5 MPH} THE ABS BRAKES GO OFF EVERY TIME YOU STOP. WHEN COASTING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT 5 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKES GO OFF THEY LOCK UP AND THEY DO NOT LET GO. WHEN THEY LOCK UP, AND YOUR CANNOT STOP OR CONTROL THE BRAKING, YOU RUN INTO THE CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICHLE ANY MORE BECAUSE SHE CANNOT CONTROL THE STOPPING. I REMOVED THE FUSES THAT CONTROL THE ABS BRAKING SO THAT I CAN CONTROL MY BRAKING.

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS ALL THE TIME AS DOES THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CRUISE CABLES. WITHIN 10 MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE THE PROBLEM RECURRED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

THE DESIGN OF MY 2000 GMC YUKON'S EMERGENCY BRAKE IS FAULTY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED ON MY CAR TWICE. IN APRIL OF 2002, MY CAR FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT WORKING. I HAD TO PAY $550 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND REPLACE A REAR ROTOR THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD DAMAGED BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS HAD WORN DOWN AND THE BASE OF THE BRAKE DAMAGED THE ROTOR. THE CAR PASSED INSPECTION BUT THE BRAKE DID NOT SEEM TO WORK WELL. SO IN 2004, INSPECTION TIME ROLLS AROUND AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AGAIN FAILS. I WAS TOLD GM HAD PLACED A RECALL TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGN BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS TRUE OR NOT. EITHER WAY, THE DESIGN ON THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE. THE ONLY TIME THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS EVER USED IS WHEN THE STATE INSPECTION SERVICE TESTS IT TO SEE IF IT WORKS. GMC SHOULD FIX THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHERE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOULD NOT BE A $400 PROBLEM EVERY TWO YEARS. *JB
