(TO SEE THE SCHOOL BUS ENGINE SIZES, CLICK ON "DOCUMENT SEARCH" AND THEN "BUS APPLICATIONS"). THE CONNECTOR ON THE FUEL FILTER WAS NOT MANUFACTURED TO HONEYWELL'S SPECIFICATION. AS A RESULT, THE O-RING MAY NOT SEAT CORRECTLY ON THE FUEL LINE.

Risk. THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE AN INADEQUATE SEAL AT THE CONNECTION, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO A FUEL LEAK. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.

Remedy. HONEYWELL WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE FUEL FILTERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 18, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FRAM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-890-2075 (OPTION 1).

Defect. ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN MODEL-ENGINE COMBINATIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL DUE TO CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CONTROLLER CIRCUIT BOARD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL.

Risk. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR DURING BAD WEATHER, DRIVER VISIBILITY WOULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 19, 2003. 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 CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.

Risk. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER.

Defect. THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH THE THROTTLE CABLE CONTACTING THE DASH MAT WHICH COULD BIND THE THROTTLE. THIS DOES NOT MEET WITH THE MAXIMUM RETURN TIMES REQUIRED BY FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 124, "ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMS."

Risk. CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THE ENGINE SPEED MAY NOT RETURN TO IDLE INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR ADEQUATE THROTTLE CABLE TO DASH MAT CLEARANCE, AND IF THERE IS INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE, CUT OUT A PORTION OF THE DASH MAT TO PROVIDE PROPER CLEARANCE.

Defect. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT-CABLE LOCK CLIP CAN BACK OUT OF ITS INSTALLED POSITION RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CABLE ADJUSTMENT. WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS PLACED IN THE "PARK" POSITION, THE "PARK" INDICATOR LIGHT MAY NOT ILLUMINATE.

Risk. THE VEHICLE CAN MOVE UNINTENTIONALLY IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT NOTICE THAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOT ON AND DOES NOT APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL ADJUST THE SHIFT CABLE AND INSTALL A LOCK CLIP.

Defect. THE VEHICLES HAVE BOTH THE SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT (SIR) LABEL AND AN ENGINE START LABEL INSTALLED ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE SUN VISOR. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO.208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION."

Risk. CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: OPERATORS COULD FAIL TO NOTICE AND HEED THE WARNING LABEL.

Remedy. THE ENGINE START LABEL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE STOWED SIDE OF THE SUN VISOR AND A NEW ENGINE START LABEL WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE HEADLINER IN THE SUN VISOR DEPRESSION. OWNERS WILL RECEIVE THE NEW LABEL AND CAN INSTALL THE LABEL THEMSELVES OR HAVE A DEALER INSTALL IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE VEHICLE WENT "IDLE" AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

1995 YUKON FUEL AND BRAKE LINES WERE DIAGNOSED AS HAVING POTENTIAL RUST. *TS A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THE BRAKE LINES NEAR THE MASTER CYLINDER RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. THE FUEL LINES ON TOP OF THE SENDING UNIT ALSO RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. *NM THE BRAKES LOCKED UNEXPECTEDLY AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT REAR LOWER BRAKE ANCHOR WAS SHEARING OFF THE BACKING PLATE, GOING TO ONE SIDE, CONSEQUENTLY ALLOWING THE BRAKE SHOES TO ENGAGE WITHOUT BRAKE PRESSURE. UPDATED 03/09/06. *JB *NM

BRAKE LINES NEAR THE MASTER CYLINDER RUSTED TO THE POINT OF COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. LUCKILY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND WAS ABLE TO RECOVER USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE BEACH, NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN IN A FLOOD. BRAKE LINES REPLACED AT HIGH COST. *JB

FUEL LINES RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE SENDING UNIT AND FIRST SECTION OF FUEL LINES ARE ONE PIECE, SO THE SENDING UNIT ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE BEACH, NOR HAS IT BEEN IN A FLOOD. FUEL LINES AND SENDER REPLACED A HIGH COST. *JB

BRAKES LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY AT LOW SPEEDS. OFTEN WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE, AND ALWAYS WITHOUT WARNING. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. SEVERAL MECHANICS (INCLUDING GMC) HAVE TRIED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. EACH HAD AN EXPENSIVE SOLUTION, NONE OF WHICH HAS WORKED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH IS DESTINED TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE (SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR) ON YOUR WEBSITE. *JB

DT: THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES PULSATED AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CONSUMER COULD FEEL IT IN THE PEDAL AND COULD SLIGHTLY HEAR IT KICK IN. IT DID THIS ON DRY ROADS NHTSA RECALL 05V279000 WAS ISSUED IN AUGUST 2005. BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. WENT TO THE DEALER AND BASICALLY SAID THE RECALL WOULD NOT GO INTO AFFECT UNTIL NOVEMBER 2005. STARTED NOTICING THIS AROUND JULY 15, 2005, AND IT DID THIS OCCASIONALLY.*AK *JB

NHTSA CAMPAIGN 03V159000; GMC ISSUED A WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN ALTHOUGH IT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. *AK

FAILURE OF DRIVER SEAT MOUNTING ON THE WINDOW SIDE. *MR THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THE MOUNTING HOLES, ONE ON EACH CORNER OF THE SEAT, WERE RETROFITTED ON THE WINDOW-SIDE (FRONT & REAR) BY SPOT WELDING A THREADED WASHER ABOUT THREE INCHES TO THE RIGHT OF THE CORNER HOLES TO FACILITATE MOUNTING OF THE SEAT TO THE RAIL ON THE FLOORBOARD. THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN CAUSED METAL FATIGUE SURROUNDING THE SPOT-WELDED WASHERS, RESULTING IN THE SEAT BREAKING LOOSE. *SC *JB

CONSUMER ADJUSTED THE POWER MIRROR, AND THE SWITCH CAUGHT ON FIRE INSIDE THE DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE. *AK

THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON VARIOUS AREAS OF MY YUKON. THIS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BARELY FIVE YEARS OLD AND GETS WORSE AND WORSE. I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE THE MANY GMC'S ON THE ROAD THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING. NOT A VERY APPEALING REPRESENTATION OF THESE VEHICLES WHEN CHUNKS OF PAINT ARE MISSING. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RESOLUTION TO THE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PAINT JOB?

ADJUSTED POWER MIRRORS AND THE ELECTRICAL WIRING SHORTED OUT AND CAUSED A FIRE WHICH DESTROYED THE DOOR, THE DASH, AND PART OF THE SEAT. IF MY WIFE HADN'T GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED, IF NOT KILLED*AK

EXPERIENCING A RATHER HIGH PITCHED RUBBING NOISE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. PARTICULARLY BAD WHEN BACKING UP.*AK

HEADLIGHT FAILURE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING MY 1995 GMC YUKON, TWO TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. HAVE TRIED TO GET INFORMATION FROM GMC ON HOW TO HAVE MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP FIX THE PROBLEM. GMC RESPONSE WAS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL FIGURE IT OUT. HOW LONG COULD THAT TAKE AT MY EXPENSE? ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET THE 1995-96 YUKON'S WERE SUBJECT TO THIS PROBLEM. THEREFORE GMC SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THEIR DEALER HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANK YOU.*JB

WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE, CAUSING CONSUMER TO PULL OVER. DEALER NOTIFIED. PH....*AK

SEAT TRACK ON DRIVER SIDE LEFT FRONT WELD TEARING SEATS ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. *AK

JUST HAD DIESEL FUEL INJECTION PUMP NUMBER 4 INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. LAST ONE RAN JUST OVER 25,000 MILES. THIS PUMP FAILS WITHOUT WARNING AND UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES IT CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. GM ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRENTY FOR THESE PUMPS. IVE EXPERIENCED FAILURE WITH THEIR LATEST PUMP AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.. THE ENGINE WILL FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER AND ANY SPEED, INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF THIS DOESNT WARRANT A SAFETY INVESTIGATION I DONT KNOW WHAT DOES.JUST HAD DIESEL FUEL INJECTION PUMP NUMBER 4 INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. LAST ONE RAN JUST OVER 25,000 MILES.

AT STARTUP OR DURING TRAVEL, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT WILL EITHER NOT ILLUMINATE OR GO OUT. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER HAS DIFFICULTY DISTINGUISHING WHICH GEAR THE CAR IS IN.DURING THE EVENING HOURS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM IS AN INTERMITTENT. ALL SO I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TACH AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES DO NOT WORK EITHER WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOT WORKING.

DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE WHERE SEAT WAS BOLTED TO PEDESTAL. *AK CONSUMER STATES WHEN GETTING INTO VEHICLE SEAT BROKE, SHEET METAL FRAME THAT FOAM AND SPRINGS ARE ATTACHED TO, NEXT TO THE MOUNTING BOLT THAT HOLDS SEAT TO PEDESTAL ON THE LEFT FRONT OF SEAT. *JB
