SOME COMBINATION LAMPS THAT ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH AMBER SIDE REFLECTORS FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."

Risk. WITHOUT THE AMBER REFLECTORS, THE VEHICLE WILL BE POORLY ILLUMINATED, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

Remedy. POLI-AUTO WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND OFFER TO REPURCHASE THE HEADLAMPS AT ITS ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT POLI-AUTO AT 305-477-1356.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A MISROUTED POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE ASSEMBLY THAT COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE STEERING SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT.

Risk. OVER TIME THIS CONTACT COULD CAUSE A WEAR-THROUGH OF THE CABLE ASSEMBLY CONVOLUTED CONDUIT AND CABLE INSULATION EXPOSING THE WIRE CORE AND RESULTING IN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL SHORTING. THIS COULD RESULT IN ERRATIC MOVEMENT OF THE VOLTAGE GAGE, TOTAL BATTERY DISCHARGE IN A FEW HOURS, OR THE CABLE INSULATION AND CONDUCT COULD IGNITE IF ENOUGH CURRENT IS DISCHARGED AT THE POINT OF CONTACT, RESULTING IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE FOR PROPER ROUTING AND RE-ROUTE THE CABLE IN NECESSARY. THE CABLE WILL ALSO BE INSPECTED FOR WEAR OF THE CONDUIT AND CABLE INSULATION, AND WILL BE REPLACED IF NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 23, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.

HAVING LOW SPEED (UNDER 8MPH) ABS ACTIVATION REGARDLESS OF WEATHER/ROAD CONDITIONS. BASICALLY THE SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V379000 BUT APPARENTLY MY VIN IS NOT COVERED, I LIVE IN ILLINOIS. *TR

BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. TRAVELING 35 MPH, I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND THE PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR. HAD MINOR RESISTANCE, THEN JUST COMPLETELY GAVE WAY. NO BRAKES! WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN INCIDENT BY VEERING INTO THE ONCOMING LANE THAT WAS LUCKILY VACANT. TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET TO SAFELY ROLL TO A STOP. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THE REMAINING 1.5 MILES HOME, I HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. ADVISED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC THAT HE HAS SEEN A DOZEN TIMES. THE BRAKE LINES CORRODE, AND EVENTUALLY BURST. ABSURD! TO THINK THIS COULD OF HAPPENED ON A FAMILY ROAD TRIP AT 65MPH... I WILL BUYING A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF GMC AND THEIR UMBRELLA OF POORLY MADE VEHICLES- ASAP!

THE BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED AND AT LEAST 1 HAS RUPTURED LEAVING VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY BRAKES. BRAKE PETAL GOES DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR AND NO BRAKE FLUID WAS FOUND IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

TIRES WERE PURCHASED SEPT. 25, 2009 AND NOW HAVE EXTENSIVE WEATHER CRACKING. COSTCO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRES WHEN I REPORTED THE QUALITY DEFECT IN AUGUST, 2014, JUST 59 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE APPEALED THAT DECISION AND EXPECT TO FIND OUT TOMORROW IF THEY WILL MAKE GOOD ON THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THEY CLAIM THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS WEATHER CRACKING THAT THE TIRES ARE SAFE. I DOUBT THEY WOULD USE CRACKED TIRES LIKE THAT ON THE VEHICLE CARRYING THEIR OWN FAMILY. *TR

WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY TRUCK ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT AFTER I WAS HALFWAY IN THE INTERSECTION. I FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE ABOVE THE FUEL TANK ROTTED AWAY. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE BOTH STEEL LINES TO THE REAR WHEELS AND THE TWO STEEL LINE TO THE FRONT REPLACED. *TR

THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATES MOST EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, ESPECIALLY IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE THE WHEELS ARE TURNED. THIS CAUSES EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 287 NORTH, IN MORRISTOWN, NJ WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT AND I NEEDED TO APPLY MY BRAKES. WHEN I USED MY BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT STOP. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND I SWERVED TO AVOID OTHER CARS. I ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE GRASS SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE CAR. AFTER INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES DONE BY A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC, HE FOUND THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES IN THE CAR BURST OPEN DUE TO HEAVY CORROSION LEADING TO THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES IN THE VEHICLE AS NONE OF THEM WERE ABLE TO BE SALVAGED. *TR

MY BRAKE LINE RUPTURED ON ROUTE 287 IN NEW JERSEY WHEN I NEEDED TO BRAKE BEHIND A STOPPING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY FOOT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO STOPPING POWER. GM INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED IT HAD MULTIPLE FLAWS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. *TR

PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT,AND DROVE DOWN A STREET. AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR,AND I WENT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AVOIDING CARS AND THEN SLAMMING INTO A CURB TO TRY TO STOP THIS BIG SUV WITH NO BRAKE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST REPAIR SHOP ,AND THEN I WAS INFORMED THAT NOT JUST THE ONE BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT,BUT ALL WERE RUSTING OUT AND COULD BREAK ANY DAY NOW. SINCE DAY ONE THIS SUV WAS SERVICED AT A GMC DEALER,AND NOT EVEN 7 DAYS JUST WENT BY IT WAS AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND NOT ONCE DID ANYONE MENTION THE RUSTED BRAKE LINES. THIS SUV WAS AT THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES A YEAR AND THEY NEVER MENTION THE PROBLEMS. *TR

FRONT END SQUEAKS REAL BAD WHEN TURNED SHARP. *TR

GAS GUAGE NOT WORKING ON 2001 YUKON DENALI. TANK WAS FILLED UP & THE FUEL GAUGE READ @ 'E'. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON & THE SOUND CAME ON. IT HAS OCCURED ALL THE TIME NOW & THEN IT RE-READS THE CORRECT AMT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. *TR

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS EVERY TIME I STOP. THIS COULD CAUSE FRONT END COLLISION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COMPLETELY STOP WHEN BRAKING AND I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL. GM WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH MILEAGE WAS NOT A FACTOR. OTHER YUKON VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT MY VIN FOR SOME REASON WAS NOT INCLUDED. *TR

2001GMC YUKON DENALI - ABS BRAKES ENGAGE AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCES AT SLOW SPEEDS. THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS (66163) AND NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN (O5V-379000) FOR 2002+ CARS BUT NOT 2001. I BELIEVE THAT 2001 WAS THE MODEL YEAR CHANGEOVER WHERE SOME 2001S WERE OLD BODY STYLE AND SOME NEW. MINE IS THE NEWER STYLE. *TR

ABS COMES ON AT 5 MPH UNTIL FULL STOP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR SEVERAL DAYS IN AN UNCOVERED DRIVEWAY IN THE RAIN. WHEN THE CONTACT OPENED THE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT WATER PENETRATED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE CARPET, SEATS, AND SEAT BELTS WERE DAMAGED WITH MILDEW. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AVAILABLE. HE WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSIS TO BE APPROXIMATELY $165 TO BE PAID BY THE CONTACT. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 78,000.

CONTINUOUS BRAKING PROBLEMS. I UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT ROTORS, CALIPERS, BRAKES, EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS MY ABS & EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF DURING DRIVING. I HAVE HAD A GMC DEALERSHIP (FOLSOM GMC) AND LES SCHWAB PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS TO ONLY TELL ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS AGAIN DUE TO WEAR. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETECT WHY THE TWO LIGHTS COME ON. LAST NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME THE TWO LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, THIS TIME I NOTICED A LOUD MOTOR RUNNING, EVEN WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THE MOTOR NOISE CONTINUED. ONCE I PULLED THE ABS FUSE OUT OF THE CONTROL BOX THE MOTOR STOPPED. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO HAVE IT SERVICED AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR COMPANY PERFORM AN INVESTIGATION ON THE ANTILOCKING SYSTEM AND BRAKE SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES. IN MY RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND OTHERS DENALI OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE BRAKE/ANTILOCK SYSTEM FAILURES. A FEW OF THE COMPLAINTS I FOUND ARE AT "WWW.ALLWORLDAUTO.COM" AND "WWW.LEMONAUTO.COM". THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON I-10 BACK TO PHOENIX HAD PAST MARANA OUTSIDE OF TUCSON WHEN MY SUV STARTED TO TREMBLE A LITTLE BIT WONDERING WHAT THAT WAS BUT BEFORE I CAN PULL OVER THE TIRE BLEW OUT AND LOST CONTROL FOR A SECOND BUT WAS ABLE TO CONTROL IT AND GET PULL OFF TO THE RIGHT OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I GOT OFF TO CHECK THERE WAS NOT MUCH TIRE AND IT HAD MADE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SUV NOW I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE INSURANCE TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES AND COST TO REPAIR IT. *TR

FUEL TANK MAKES A POPPING NOISE WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF TURNING ENGINE OFF. FUEL TANK CAP REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 GMC YUKON SLT, AND I HAVE HAD AN ABS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NOT ONE SPECIFIC INSTANCE, WHICH CAUSED IT. I HEARD A CONSTANT RUNNING SOUND, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE ABS, AND HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO STOP IT. NOW, MY BRAKE & ABS LIGHTS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. IT HAD ME AT A DISADVANTAGE. I AM A FATHER OF 2, AND WE OFTEN TRANSPORT OUR PARENTS. GENERALLY DO MOST TRAVELING IN THE YUKON, BUT NOW APPREHENSIVE ABOUT THE IDEA OF IT. DO NOT WANT TO SUBJECT THE FAMILY TO SUCH. I DEPLOY A LOT, AND DON'T WANT MY WIFE TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO THE GMC DEALERS AWHILE BACK. THE DEALERS WILL NOT FIX IT, JUST REPLACED THEM. WHICH WAS AROUND A GRAND TO DO. SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL OUTSIDE THE SALT BELT STATES THEY WON'T HELP US. I FOUND SOMEONE IN THE AREA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE, AND IT APPEARED TO BE AN COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT IT DID NOT APPLY HERE IN FORT WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA. IN WHICH WERE ARE ON THE COAST SUBJECT TO SALT WATERS OF THE GULF COAST. I NOTICED IT ON RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 05V379000. IT AFFECTED SALT BELT STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ONLY.... PLEASE EXTEND RECALL AREA FOR OTHER LOCATIONS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MAYBE COAS
