• 12/31/2008· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE FUEL PRESSURE PUMP AND ECM WERE DIAGNOSED AS THE CAUSES OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL DELIVERY PUMP AND FUSES AT THE COST OF $850.26. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. HOWEVER, IF THE RECALL HAPPENS TO EXPAND TO INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES, THE CONTACT COULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,374 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

  ABS SENSOR FAILS AT LOW SPEEDS. REQUIRES EXTENDED DISTANCE TO STOP. BRAKE FAILURE.

• 12/16/2001· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NHTSA FOR PERMITTING MANY AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS TO UTILIZE SO-CALLED HIGH-BRIGHTNESS ARC-LAMPS ON PASSENGERS VEHICLES. THESE LAMPS CAUSE TEMPORARY BLINDNESS AND UNWARRANTED GLARE FOR OLDER DRIVERS SUCH AS MYSELF. THIS IS AN ESPECIAL PROBLEM WHEN THE ARC-LAMP EQUIPPED VEHICLE COMES OVER A HILL OR HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE POINT SOURCE NATURE OF THESE LAMPS RESULTS IN MUCH LOSS OF VISION IN DARK AREAS WITHIN THE FIELD OF VISION BECAUSE OF SCATTER DUE TO AGE HARDENING OF THE CRYSTALLINE LENSES OF THE EYE STRUCTURE. I AM AN INJURED PARTY ( I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY THOUSANDS) SINCE THESE LAMPS DIMINISH THE ABILITY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I RECOMMEND THAT THEY BE OUTLAWED AS A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM A 63 YEAR OLD OPTICAL ENGINEER AND HOPE TO CONTINUE DRIVING FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO COME.*AK

  MY 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 05068 FROM GMC. GMC HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE RIGHT TIME FRAME BUT DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RIGHT VIN NUMBERS. I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS! THE FOLLOWING IS AN EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM GMC: VEHICLES OF A MODEL YEAR ARE AFFECTED. THERE IS AN UPCOMING RECALL 05068 FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR- DESCRIPTION: ABS WHEEL SENSORS. GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF INVOLVED VEHICLES BEGINNING 10/12/2005. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR DIVISIONS (DMV) HAS YOUR CURRENT INFORMATION FOR MAILING PURPOSES IN CASE YOUR VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. BELOW ARE SOME INFORMATION THAT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR THE UPCOMING RECALL. DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION: SOME OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE ASSOCIATED WITH UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS (LESS THAN 10 MPH AND GREATER THAN 3.7 MPH). THIS CONDITION DOES NOT SET ANY ABS CODES NOR DOES IT ILLUMINATE THE ABS WARNING LAMP. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS, BASED ON FIELD REPORT DATA. CONSEQUENCE OF CONDITION: WHEN THE PEAK-TO-PEAK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR VOLTAGE LEVEL RECEIVED AT THE ABS CONTROLLER IS BELOW THE MINIMUM SPECIFIED PEAK-TO-PEAK LEVEL, THE ABS CONTROLLER INTERPRETS THIS AS A WHEEL SPEED THAT IS LESS THAN THE ACTUAL WHEEL SPEED. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ABS INTERPRETS THE WHEEL AS SLIPPING WHEN IT IS NOT. IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE MAY BE REQUIRED. *JB

• 11/04/2005· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  THE SPEED SENSOR FAILS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 6 AND 9 MPG; RESULTING IN NO OR LIMITED ABILITY TO BRAKE. REPEATED NEAR ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC AND IN PARKING SITUATIONS.

I UNDERSTAND GM HAS RECALLED PRACTICALLY IDENTICAL VEHICLES SUCH AS THE GM TAHOE, SUBURBAN, ETC. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE GMC YUKON DENALI IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME VEHICLE AS THE GM TAHOE. I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THAT RECALL IS NOT APPLIED TO THE GMC YUKONS. *NM

• 10/11/2004· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  RE: FUEL TANK LEAK 2000 GMC YUKON/DENALI ON THE EVENING OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2004 THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED AT A LOCAL GAS STATION. UPON ARRIVAL AT HOME A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL WAS NOTICED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT MORNING NO OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS EVIDENT. ON OCTOBER 1, 2004 THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED DURING THE DAY, AND GASOLINE WAS OBSERVED LEAKING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK AND DRIPPING ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND NOT USED UNTIL AFTER THE FUEL WAS NO LONGER LEAKING ON OCTOBER 4, 2004. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A GMC DEALERSHIP, VINCE WHIBBS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, IN PENSACOLA, FL FOR SERVICE ON OCTOBER 7, 2004. THE SERVICE CONSULTANT, CHRISTA HALL, CALLED LATER THAT DAY TO INFORM ME THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAD STARTED TO SEPARATE FROM THE FUEL TANK AND THAT IS WHERE THE FUEL LEAK HAD COME FROM. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN, ALEX JENKINS, JR, SHOWED ME THE FUEL TANK THAT HAD BEEN REMOVED AND POINTED OUT WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. IT WAS ALONG A BONDED/PLASTIC WELDED BEAD AROUND THE BASE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND WHERE IT JOINS THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK, LOCATED AT THE TOP CENTER. A NEW FUEL TANK HAD TO BE ORDERED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TANK. THE OLD FUEL TANK IS AVAILABLE. *NM

  I HAVE JUST BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. WHEN DRIVING IT SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS FISHTAILING, GOING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD.

NOW I FIND THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF A GMC RECALL PROBLEM 05V-379. UPON CONTACTING GMC THEY SAY THEIR COMPUTERS NEED UPDATING AND IT "MAY" BE IN FOR RECALL BUT THE GMC DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS NOW. SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT TOTAL FAILURE AND AM REGISTERING A COMPLAINT. THEY SAID THAT I COULD GET IT FIXED NOW AND THEN THEY "MAY" REIMBURSE ME LATER.

  ABS BRAKES ENGAGED WITH NO WARNING AT LOW SPEEDS (PARKING LOTS, STOP SIGNS, DRIVE THROUHS) AND GREATLY INCREASED THE STOPPING DISTANCE AND SAFETY. THIS WAS OCCOURING IN THE FALL OF '04 EALY WINTER OF '05. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON TOTALY DRY SURFACES, AND WAS TO GREAT OF A RISK TO LEAVE UN-REPAIRED. I HAD TO PAY OVER $900.00 TO CORRECT THE ONE FRONT WHEEL AND THE OTHER(S) ARE SURE TO FOLLOW. THIS IS POOR COMPENENT DEISIGN, AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AS DEFECTIVE. AN OWNER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DISCONECT THE ABS COMPUTER TO AVOID THE BRAKE FAILURE, IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PAY THE $900.00 + PER HUB.

  I'VE EXPERIENCED A VERY SERIOUS/DANGEROUS PROBLEM ON 9/5/03, 11/1/03, 11/2/03 & 4/18/04: THE ENGINE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY SUV. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON HWY, ON BRIDGES/ TUNNELS (WITHH NO SHOULDERS), & WHEN I'VE STOPPED THE SUV @ TRAFFIC LIGHTS & STOP SIGNS. THE COMMON DENOMINATORS FOR THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN SEEM TO BE: (1)LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL-ON ALL 4 OCCASIONS I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HWY FOR 100 OR MORE MILES @ SPEEDS OF 60-70 MPH BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD BEGIN SHUTTING DOWN (2)WEATHER- ON ALL 4 OCCASIONS, THE TEMPERATURE WAS 75-85 DEGREES WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD BEGIN SHUTTING DOWN WHAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN: WHILE ACTIVELY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, I WOULD SUDDENLY NOTICE THAT I WAS NO LONGER GETTING ANY ACCELERATION POWER I WOULD THEN BEGIN TO PUMP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO NO AVAIL ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED, SIGNALING THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHEN POSSIBLE, I WOULD PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER, & CRANK THE IGNITION 1-3 TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START AGAIN. ON THE DAYS THAT I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, THE ENGINE WOULD CONTIN. TO SHUT DOWN EVERY 1-5 MILES, (MORE FREQUENTLY IN TRAFFIC). THE ENGINE WOULD CONTIN. TO SHUT DOWN UNTIL I COULD REACH A SAFE DESTINATION & ALLOW THE SUV TO REST FOR SEVERAL HRS. IN TOTAL, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN 10-18 TIMES ON EACH OF THE 4 DAYS THAT I HAD THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN MOSTLY WHILE I WAS ACTIVELY ACCELERATING, BUT ALSO HAPPENED FREQUENTLY WHEN I WOULD BRAKE WHILE IN TRAFFIC, & WHEN I WAS STOPPED @ A TRAFFIC LIGHT/STOP SIGN; OCCASIONALLY, THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER WHILE ACTIVELY DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT THE ENGINE DIDN'T ACTUALLY SHUTDOWN. AFTER 10-20 SEC. OF HAVING NO ACCELERATION POWER, I COULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE AGAIN. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING & I HAD AT LEAST 1/3 TANK OF GAS.
