2000 GMC Yukon complaints

RETURNING FROM A TRIP TO AL AFTER HAVING OUR YUKON XL FOR APPROX. 2 WEEKS, WE HAD A BLOWOUT AT 4AM. WE HEARD A CLUNK AND ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED. THE TREAD TOTALLY SEPARATED. WE WERE NOT REIMBURSED FOR THE TIRE AND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. NOW THAT WE KNOW FIRESTONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TURN THESE TIRES IN TO FIRESTONE AND GET A COMPLETE REFUND AND THEN GO BUY ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRES. FIRESTONE HAS SAID THEY WILL INSPECT THE TIRES FOR FREE AND IF THEY SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH ANY TIRE, THEY WOULD REPLACE THAT TIRE WITH ANOTHER FIRESTONE TIRE. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP THE FIRESTONE TIRES. CAN YOU HELP?*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )

THE TIRE TREAD CAME APART AND CAUSED US TO HAVE A BLOWOUT ON THE FREEWAY. WE PAID TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED AT A FIRESTONE DEALER BECAUSE THE GM DEALER TOLD US IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. THE FIRESTONE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT WE HAD RUN OVER ANY ROAD HAZARDS TO CAUSE THE TIRE TO COME APART. WE ARE TRYING TO GET GM TO REPLACE THE TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. IN LIGHT OF RECENT NEWS REPORTS ABOUT THESE FIRESTONE TIRES, WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH OUR FAMILY ON THESE TIRES. WE FEEL FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND WE DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265\70RI6 )

FRONT DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS VERY DISTRACTING AND FEELS LIKE IT COULD FAIL UNDER THE PRESSURE OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALER CONTACTED AS WAS MANUFACTURER. THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE ALL LIKE THAT AND A REPAIR IS NOT POSSIBLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL TODAY ( I WAS USING THE GEARS SO THE BRAKES WERE NOT OVERHEATED)...THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED MOMETARILY WHEN I REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL - I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER (AFTER GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION) AND THEY WERE PERFECTLY FINE. *AK

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND IS NOW AT DEALER. DEALER IS HAVING PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG SENSOR CLIPS, WHICH KEEP FAILING AFTER REPLACEMENT. DEALER CONSIDERS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AS AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. *AK

VEHICLE WAS SITTING ON ITS OWN WHEN GLASS EXPLODED. THE WEATHER WAS NICE AROUND 80 DEGREES EVEN IF NOT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. POSSIBLE DEFECT; POOR QUALITY OR FITTING. AND SO ON...

FRONT PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT BACK HAVING EXCESSIVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOVEMENT WHILE OWNER IN THE SEAT.

MY NEW GMC WAS SHIPPED WITHOUT A DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG. WE HAD AN INTERMITTANT INDICATION (WARNINING LIGHT) ABOUT 4 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VECHICLE. I BELIEVE THE AIR BAG WAS TAKEN/NOT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY AND THAT THE WIRING WAS RIGGED TO SHOW AN AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, WITH NO RESPONSE OTHER THEN THEY CREATED A FILE. BOTTOMLINE...IF AN AIRBAG IS NOT INSTALLED THE SYSTEM SHOULD INDICATE A FAULT. IF MY AIRBAG WAS TAKEN THERE MAY BE OTHER FAMLIES DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AN AIRBAG IS NOT INSTALLED HOW IT COULD PASS A SYSTEMS SENSOR CHECK. THE LOCAL GM DEALER HAS ORDERED A NEW AIRBAG.*AK

WHEN YOU GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES, WITH A CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOU RECEIVE NO TACTILE FEEDBACK VIA INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BRAKE PETAL THAT THE BRAKES ARE BEING ENGAGED. YOU CAN PRESS THE BRAKE PETAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND STILL NOT GET A POSITIVE FEELING THAT THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO QUANTATATIVE MEASUREMENTS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO SEE IF IT IS WITHIN MANUFACTURER SPECS. THE MANUFACTURER WANTS TO WAIT OVER 7 DAYS BEFORE ANOTHER DEALER CAN SEE THE VEHICLE AND CONDUCT TESTS.*AK

THE SEAT DIRECTLY BEHIND DRIVER'S SEAT WILL NOT LOCK WHEN A CHILD'S RESTRAINT SEAT IS USED AND THE BELT IS PULLED TIGHT TO GET SLACK OUT TO HOLD CHILD'S SEAT SECURE. *ML

WHILE DRIVING HOME IN THE RIGHT LANE ON A TWO-HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER'S WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SWAMP-NO PEOPLE OR CONSTRUCTION SITES AROUND, NOR WAS THERE A CAR NEXT TO ME. AS THE WINDOW LOST STRENGTH FROM SHATTERING IT BOWED IN AND I PULLED OVER TO KNOCK OUT THE REST OF THE GLASS. WITH THE REMAINING GLASS AROUND THE CAR, I SUSTAINED CUTS TO MY LEFT HAND AND A PIECE FLEW INTO MY EYE AND TORE A CONTACT. MY YOUNG DAUGTER SUSTAINED SCRATCHES ON HER SCALP DUE TO GLASS IN HER HAIR.WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, HE STATED THAT HE HAD HEARD THE REAR WINDOWS BLOWING OUT BUT NOT THE SIDE ONES! ALL WE WANTED TO WAS RELINGUISH THE LEASE, BUT GMC REFUSED. WE HAD TO PAY OUT- I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATALITIES.THANK YOU. *AK

DRIVER'S SEATBACK ROCKS BACK AND FOURTH. OWNER IS WORRIED THE SEATBACK MAY COLLASPE WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND TRUCK GOING INTO A "NEUTRAL" WHILE ON HIGHWAY, TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY KEPT IT 11 DAYS HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. NOW, APRX 6 WEEKS LATER TRUCK IS AGAIN NOT SHIFTING RIGHT, PUT IN REVERSE FROM PARKED POSITION, PRESS ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK SLAMS INTO GEAR. WHEN IN DRIVE FROM PARKED POSITION ACCELERATE AND IT REVS AND REVS AND FINALLY SLAMS INTO DRIVE THEN INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING GOES IN & OUT OF GEAR. PRETTY DISGUSTED FOR A XMAS GIFT AT $45,000.00 NEVER EXPECTED THIS. *AK

THE FRONT SEATS ROCK UNPREDICTABLY. THEY ROCK BOTH FORWARD AND REWARD UNDER ACCELERATION AND BRAKING AS WELL AS ROUGH TERRAIN. THIS IS IRRITATING AS WELL AS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO BRAKE/ACCELERATE CONSISTENTLY WITH THE MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AS WELL AS GM CANADA AND I HAVE HAD THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SEAT REPLACED. THERE IS STILL SOME MOVEMENT IN THE SEATS PARTICULARLY THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER NOW CLAIMS THE MOVEMENT THAT IS STILL REMAINING IS A NORMAL CONDITION. *AK

DRIVER'S SEATBACK MOVES UNEXPECTEDLY, WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK *ML

THIS WAS A REAR-END COLLISION. WE WERE STANDING STILL WHEN HIT. DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSED UPON IMPACT. *AK
