  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.

• 12/29/2003· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  ABS PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN WITH IGNITION SWITCH OFF. HAD TO REMOVE FUSE TO ABS SYSTEM TO STOP THE PUMP. NOW, CANNOT DETERMINE IF BRAKE SYSTEM HAS A FAILURE BECAUSE THE BRAKE INDICATOR STAYS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE THE ABS FUSE IS REMOVED. BRAKE SYSTEM AND ABS SYSTEM SHOULD BE SEPARATE ENTITIES SO THAT A FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.

• 12/28/2004· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

• 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

  I WAS DRIVING MY YUKON XL 2000 WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON WEB AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A ODI NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V005000 THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY INDICATED THAT THE CAR VIN WAS NOT IN THE RANGE FOR THE RECALL. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GM TO GET IT FIXED THEY INDICATED THAT FAILURE WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE REPORT 05V005000. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND NOT MY WIFE. I HAD MY 13 MONTH SON IN THE CAR AND THIS FAILURE COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DID HURT MY NECK WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TRYING TO CONTROL AND STEER THE CAR. FOR THE SAKE OF OTHER FAMILIES DRIVING 2000 YUKONS THIS RECALL 05V005000 SHOULD BE BROADEN TO INCLUDE MORE YULON 2000 CARS THAT WERE PRODUCED IN THAT YEAR BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE GETS HURT. *TR

  FUEL LEAK AT THE MAIN FUEL TANK ACCESS PORT. THIS VEHICLE HAS TWO FUEL TANKS, THE SMALLER AUXILIARY TANK(WHICH ARE OEM) HOLD ABOUT 8 GALLONS. UPON FILLING THE VEHICLE TO ITS CAPACITY, FUEL WOULD LEAK OUT UNTIL THE AUXILIARY TANK WAS EMPTY AND AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FILL COMPLETELY FULL ( 3/4 ON THE FUEL GAUGE) IT WOULD NOT LEAK FUEL. THIS PROBLEM EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE FUEL PUMPS TO GO BAD AND WHERE REPLACED AND THE LEAK FIXED. NOW ON NOVEMBER 29, 2007 AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING THE LEAK IS BACK AGAIN, UP UNTIL THIS POINT THE REPAIR ALOUD COMPLETE FILLING. *TR

MY PRELIMINARY RESEARCH REVEALED A BULLETIN WHICH NOTES A RECALL; # 71182. INDICATION IS THAT SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CLEARANCE CONDITION BETWEEN THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL THAT COULD DECREASE TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING CONTACT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF CONTACT OCCURS AND THE BRAKE PIPE BECOMES DAMAGED, IN HALF OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM, THERE CAN BE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PRESSURE. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS CONDITION OCCURRED WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT VERY SLOW SPEED. THERE IS BRAKE FLUID SPILLAGE IN MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DRIVEWAY. *TR

  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

• 11/12/2004· TIRES

  MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL CAME WITH DEFECTIVE FIRESTONE STEELTEX R4S TIRES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ONE OF THE FOUR TIRES BLEW OUT. UPON EXAMINATION OF ALL FOUR TIRES ON THE CAR BY MY MECHANIC HE FOUND ALL FOUR TIRES HAD SIGNS OF VERTICAL SEPARATION OF THE SIDEWALL AND PARTIAL TREAD SEPARATION OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND BIZARRE WEAR. THE TIRE THAT BLEW OUT HAD COME APART ON ONE OF THESE VERTICAL SEPARATIONS. I REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND DROVE IT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WHAT-SO-EVER WITH THESE FIRESTONE TIRES AND THAT THE ALIGNMENT OF MY SUV WAS THE PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM HE WAS CRAZY AND THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE AN ALIGNMENT DONE AND I WANTED IT IN WRITING. THE MANAGER GAVE ME IT IN WRITING, AND HAD THE TIRES REPLACED BUT CHARGED ME OVER $200 AND GAVE ME MORE OF THE SAME BRAND OF TIRE ON THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY GMC DEALER AND HAD HIM CHECK TO SEE IF AN ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED AND I WAS EXPLAINED IN WRITING THAT AN ALIGNMENT WAS NOT NEEDED. *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

• 11/07/2004· PARKING BRAKE

  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

  WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION REACTS AS IF IN NEUTRAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT DROPS INTO GEAR. SINCE NO "CODES" SHOW UP WHEN THE CAR IS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR THE DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER IS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS A ROADWAY, MOVER OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, ETC.
