• 12/30/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  2005 FAULTY GMC YUKON DASH SYSTEM. DEALER ORIGINALLY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE ALCOHOL IN THE GASOLINE. I TRIED USING ETHANOL FREE GAS AND IT WORKED. I COULDN'T FIND ANY ETHANOL FREE GAS ON DEC 25TH SO I HAD TO USE 10% ETHANOL AND MY ENTIRE DASH HAS QUIT WORKING. I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING, IF I HAVE FUEL OR HOW MANY MILES I HAVE ON MY VEHICLE. THE GMC DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP, DASH BOARD AND THEY ESTIMATE IT WILL COST AROUND $1500. IT WORKED FINE WITHOUT ETHANOL! *TR

• 12/28/2009· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  DRIVING VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR APPROX. 1 HOUR CAUSES DIAL-TYPE SPEEDOMETER TO BEGIN REGISTERING INCORRECTLY. INITIALLY THE DEVIATION IS ONLY 3-4 MPH, BUT OVER TIME WILL WORSEN. ACTUAL SPEED IS BEING MEASURED WITH HANDHELD GPS UNIT TO CHECK AGAINST SPEEDOMETER DEVIATION. SPEEDOMETER CAN REGISTER OVER OR UNDER ACTUAL SPEED. AT WORSE, SPEEDOMETER CAN SHOW 0-5 MPH WHILE TRAVELING AT 60-65 MPH ACTUAL, AND AT OTHER TIMES HAS REGISTERED 110-115 MPH WHILE TRAVELING AT 40-45 MPH ACTUAL. IF ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, SPEEDOMETER WILL REGISTER ACTUAL SPEED FOR A SHORT TIME, THEN BEGIN DEVIATING FROM ACTUAL AGAIN. PROBLEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO OCCUR WHEN ONLY TRAVELING AT SPEEDS BELOW HIGHWAY SPEED (30-45 MPH), BUT WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LONG ENOUGH FOR DEVIATION TO OCCUR, SPEEDOMETER WILL BEGIN REGISTERING OVER/UNDER ACTUAL AT ANY ACTUAL SPEED IF VEHICLE IS BEING CONTINUOUSLY DRIVEN (NOT SHUT OFF). *TR

• 12/22/2014· SERVICE BRAKES

  I WAS DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND WENT TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE BRAKES INITIALLY WORKED BUT AT ABOUT 30 MPH THERE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDAL, SO TO SPEAK, TO GET THE 2005 YUKON TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THE TRAFFIC STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME AND UPON INSPECTION THE BREAK LINE HAD FAILED RIGHT BELOW THE RADIATOR WHERE IT CONNECTS TO A PLASTIC RETAINER CLIP. I WAS AMAZED AT THE FACT WITH ONLY 118,000 MILES I HAD TOTAL RUST THROUGH ON BRAKE LINES. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS ON A VEHICLE AND WOULD EXPECT THE LINES TO LAST LONGER. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN INDIANA ABOUT 40 MILES FOR CINCINNATI, OH. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!! SINCE I REPAIRED THIS FAILURE, THE TRANS LINE AND ANOTHER BRAKE LINE HAVE FAILED DUE TO RUST.!! I HAVE OWNED GM PRODUCTS MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAD A 1998 YUKON WITH 235,000 MI. ON THE TRUCK AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH RUST THROUGH ON THE LINES. I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING GM WOULD DO TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WORRY EVERY TIME I USE THE TRUCK THAT ANOTHER LINE WOULD BREAK AND CAUSE A MASSIVE ACCIDENT. *TR

• 12/22/2008· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  MY 2005 YUKON 4WD WENT OUT. IT STARTED AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS NOT CURRENTLY HAVING PROBLEMS THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. THIS TIME IT WAS OUT FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE I FINALLY TOOK IT IN. ALTHOUGH NOTHING EXTREME HAPPENED, SINCE I WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT IF SOMEONE WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE THEY COULD POTENTIALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THERE VEHICLE SINCE THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS ALSO DISABLED IN THIS PROBLEM. REPLACED THE 4WD ACTUATOR TOTAL BILL 762.00 WAS ALSO TOLD IT COULD POTENTIALLY SHORT OUT THE BRAIN BOX FOR THE 4WD OPERATING SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE ALL SUMMER UNTIL NOW, WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED COLD. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 38,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME AND 52,000 THIS TIME. MY 1999 YUKON HAD 158,000 AND I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT. *TR

  ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE BOLT THAT ATTACHES THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT TO THE STEERING GEAR MAY NOT MEET SPECIFICATION. THE BOLT MAY FRACTURE RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF STEERING. THIS IS FROM A GMC SIERRA TRUCK, BUT I HAVE THIS WRONG WITH MY GMC YUKON. *TR

• 11/29/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. THE WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE CLUSTER OF BRAKE LINES IN FRONT OF ABS MODULE DUE TO RUST WHICH LEFT A PUDDLE CONTAINING ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE WAS IN A CHURCH PARKING LOT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND A SUDDEN STOP WAS NOT NEEDED FROM A HIGHER SPEED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF THAT WERE THE CASE. TOO BAD GM DID TO SPEND A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS ON RUST-PROOF BRAKE LINES GIVEN HOW EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS THEY ARE.

• 11/24/2008· TIRES

  THE INSIDE TREAD OF EVERY TIRE IS 1/2 INCH SHORTER THAN THE OUTSIDE TREAD AFTER ONLY 30,000 MILES. THE CAR ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AND ONLY SLIGHTLY OFF. TWO AUTO MECHANICS HAVE SAID THEY ARE JUNK TIRES AND THAT IS WHY THEY WORE THE WAY THEY DID. *TR

  WHEN I WENT TO PULL THE YUKON INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I BARELY MADE IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND STOPPED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE GM DEALERSHIP. I WAS CALLED WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS AND TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD BURST AND HAD CORRUPTED ALL OF THE ROTORS AND THE COST WOULD BE OVER $3K TO REPAIR/REPLACE. NOTE: THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED SEP 2013 AND HAD LESS THAN 1K MILEAGE. I CALLED GM CORPORATE TO ASK FOR RELIEF ON 10/6/14 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL WITHIN 24 HOURS BY A SENIOR ADVISOR. AFTER NOT HEARING BACK, I CALLED ON 10/10/14 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I CITIED ALL THE CASES ON LINE ABOUT FAULTY BRAKE LINES AND NHTSA EA11001 AND THE LADY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ISSUES. SHE STATED IT WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT GM. SHE STATED SHE WOULD CALL THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AND TURN IT OVER TO THEM. THERE WAS NOTHING GM WOULD DO TO ASSIST SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE INVESTIGATION? *TR

• 09/24/2004· LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  I RENTED A 2005 GMC YUKON FROM ENTERPRISE AT THE SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. AIRPORT LOCATION. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY 101 NORTHBOUND OVER CUESTA GRADE ON THE DECENT OF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE GRADE THE HOOD POPPED OPEN, FORTUNATELY THE ADDITIONAL LATCH CAUGHT THE HOOD THUS PREVENTING THE HOOD FROM FLYING BACK AND SMASHING THE WINDSHIELD. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THAT MOMENT AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SECURE THE HOOD. I DETERMINED THAT THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER LOCATED NEAR THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS AREA HAS VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE AND IS FAR TO EASY TO RELEASE. I HAD BEEN LISTENING TO THE RADIO, TAPPING MY LEFT FOOT AROUND AND WITHOUT KNOWING IT I HAD CAUGHT THE HOOD RELEASE WITH MY FOOT AND POPPED THE HOOD OPEN. I FEEL THAT AN AFTER MARKET REPAIR COULD BE MADE BY CREATING A ATTACHABLE FLAP STYLE DOOR THAT WOULD COVER THE RELEASE LATCH UNTIL IT WAS ACTUALLY NEEDED. I ALLERTED THE RENTAL AGENCY OF THE DEFECT AND ADVISED THEM NOT TO RENT THAT VEHICLE OUT UNTIL A CORRECTION TO THAT DEFECT HAD BEEN COMPLETED. I ASKED THAT THEY PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO THE COMPANY AND THAT THEY LET GMC KNOW AS WELL. THANK YOU, HILY GREENE. *AK

• 09/22/2016· POWER TRAIN,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  A KNOWN ISSUE AND PREVIOUS RECALL FOR LIGHTED IDENTIFICATION OF GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR THAT TELLS YOU WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN. LIGHT BURNS OUT ARE STOPS FUNCTIONING, RESULT YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF THE GEAR YOU ARE IN. SUPPOSEDLY MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RECALL RANGE. INTERNET DISCLOSES MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM NOT INCLUDE IN PREVIOUS RECALL. A EXPANDED RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE TO INCLUDE ANY VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THIS INCLUDES A NUMBER OF GMC PRODUCTS, SIERRA, YUKON ETC. ALL DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT WITHIN RECALL RANGE.

• 09/09/2005· ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

  WE HAD OUR BRAND NEW 2005 YUKON SLT FOR 1 WEEK AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 226 MILES ON IT, WHEN THE "STABILITRAK" ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON MY NORMAL ROUTE, A FAIRLY STRAIGHT ROUTE, WHEN THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO MANEUVER, AND TOTALLY LOCKED UP. HAD I BEEN DRIVING FASTER, I AM CONFIDENT THAT WE COULD HAVE ROLLED OR BEEN IN AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. THE "SERVICE STABILITY" LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION. GENERAL MOTORS CONCLUDED THAT THE YAW SENSOR HAD NOT BEEN CALIBRATED, CAUSING IT TO ENABLE THE STABILITRAK PROGRAM WITHOUT REASON OR WARNING. WE DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT EXPLANATION FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED AND GOT US ANOTHER BRAND NEW YUKON. WE WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL US REGARDING THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. *NM

• 09/09/2005· ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

  WE HAD OUR SECOND BRAND NEW 2005 YUKON SLT FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK, WITH APPROXIMATELY 250 MILES ON IT WHEN THE "STABILITRAK" AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP. WE GOT THIS VEHICLE AFTER OUR 1ST YUKON LOCKED UP APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH EARLIER. WE HAD JUST LEFT OUR HOME AND WERE ON THE STREET WE LIVE ON DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, WHEN WE FELT SOMETHING WEIRD, HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, AND THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP. THE "SERVICE STABILITY" LIGHT WAS ON. THE IS EXACTLY THE SAME SCENARIO THAT HAPPENED ON OUR OTHER 2005 YUKON. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES PRESENT IN THE COMPUTER, OR ANY ROUTE CAUSE. WE FEEL VERY UNCERTAIN OF THE "STABILITRAK" SYSTEM AND FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY REVIEW. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH OR FASTER, WE COULD BE INJURED OR DEAD. THERE MUST BE OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THROUGH RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED SEVERAL MONTHS APART AND AT DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING FACILITY THAN THE FIRST YUKON. WE WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL US REGARDING THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE, THIS IS THE SECOND YUKON TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. *NM

• 07/28/2013· STRUCTURE,TIRES,WHEELS

  THE SPARE TIRE IS STORED UNDER VEHICLE AND LOWERED FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE BY A CRANKING A CABLE. IT ALSO HAS A SECONDARY LATCH TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING ON ROAD IF THAT CABLE SHOULD FAIL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LATCH IS DESIGNED VERY POORLY AND QUITE SUSCEPTIBLE TO RUSTING FROM ROAD SALT. THIS PREVENTS IT FROM RELEASING THE SPARE TIRE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE REASON THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THE SPARE TIRE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE ON EXACTLY HOW TO RELEASE A FROZEN SAFETY LATCH. IT IS VERY UNLIKELY ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO SO WHILE STRANDED ROADSIDE WITH A FLAT TIRE. IT WOULD AT LEAST GREATLY EXTEND THE AMOUNT OF TIME PERSON WOULD BE WORKING ON THEIR VEHICLE ALONG THE ROAD. *TR
