DEC 24 2004 I RETURNED TO MY PARKED CAR AND STARTED THE ENGINE, THE FRONT DEFROST BLOWERS WENT TO HIGH SPEED AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. AT MY NEXT STOP I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE FAN KEPT RUNNING. REMOVING THE KEYS OPENING THE DOOR DID NOTHING. AFTER REMOVING THE FUSE TO THE FRONT HAVC THE FAN STOPPED BUT STARTED AGAIN WHEN THE FUSE WAS RE-INSTALLED. AFTER RETURNING HOME I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR A HALF HOUR THE FAN STAYED OFF, THE CONTROLS WORKED PROPERLY. DEC 28TH STOPPING FOR GAS, I TURNED THE CAR OFF BUT THE FAN CAM ON AGAIN AT FULL SPEED. I CHECKED ON LINE AND IT SEEMS SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERS HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A FIX. AT THIS TIME I HAVE PULLED THE FUSE TO KEEP THE FAN FROM BLOWING BUT IT'S TOO COLD TO BE DRIVING WITH NO HEAT OR DEFROST IN THE CAR. WHEN I GET HOME WHERE I HAVE TOOLS I WILL AGAIN DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.

MODEL: 2001 GMC YUKON 4WD DATE OF PURCHASE: SEPTEMBER 25, 2001 RIGHT NOW OUR YUKON IS AT FIORE'S IN ALTOONA, PA FOR THE THIRD TIME TRYING TO BE FIXED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD DAY THAT THEY HAVE HAD OUR CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND BRAKING. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. HISTORY: JULY 26, 2003: WHILE VACATIONING IN DELAWARE THE STEERING BEGAN TO FAIL (THE STEERING WOULD ALMOST LOCK UP AND MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL). THE FAILURE ALWAYS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T ALWAYS OCCUR, HOWEVER DURING THE 5-HOUR DRIVE BACK HOME ON JULY 27, THE STEERING FAILED SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING EXTREME STRESS. JULY 28, 2003: CALLED THE DEALER WHERE THE YUKON WAS PURCHASED (FIORE PONTIAC GMC, ALTOONA, PA) AND TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS SCHEDULED TO BE SEEN ON THURSDAY, JULY 31, 2003. JULY 31, 2003: THE YUKON WAS SEEN BY THE FIORE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A STEERING SENSOR THAT NEEDED REPLACED.

KNOCKING NOICE IS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND IS FELT AS A "CLUNK" THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN 6 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED.

I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OF THE GMC YUKON POSSES A GREAT RISK OF COSTLY REPAIRS AND THE POSSIBLITY OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER BECAUSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE RADIO WENT OUT. I ASSUMED THAT MAYBE A FUSE HAD WENT OUT. BUT WHEN ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO REPLACE THE BLOWN FUSE, THOSE FUSES BLEW ALSO. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT A SHORTING OF THE WIRING OCCURRED BECAUSE SODA WAS SPILLED IN THE REAR CUP HOLDER. THIS CAUSED THE RADIO, SPEEDOMETER, HEAT, ETC... TO GO OUT ON THE FRONT DASH PANEL IN ADDITION TO MAKING SOMETHINGS COME ON WHEN THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. BECAUSE OF THE SPILLAGE CLAIM FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THIS I WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. MY PROBLEM IS THIS, IF A LEAKAGE FROM A CUP-HOLDER CAN CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE, SHOULD THOSE WIRES BE SO EASILY EXPOSED? SHOULDN'T THERE BE SOME TYPE OF SAFETY MECHINISM IN PLACE TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING. THIS VEHICLE IS PROMOTED AS A FAMILY CAR, BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE SAFE FOR A FAMILY. IF THE WIRES ARE SO CLOSE TO THE SURFACE UNPROTECTED THAT SODA COULD GO INTO IT FROM A CUP HOLDER, WHAT ABOUT A LITTLE CHILD HAND. I HAVE A TWENTY MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN A CAR SEAT IN THE REAR, SHE OFTEN DRINKS FROM A SIP-IT-CUP WHILE BACK THERE. SIP-IT-CUP RARELY LEAK, SO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT AN AMOUNT GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS MUCH DAMAGE COULD OCCUR? SOME SORT OF SAFETY MECHANISM NEEDS TO BE INSTALL TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH THESE WIRES. THESE WIR

FUEL TANK/FILLER ASSEMBLY CAUSES VAPORS TO BACKUP INTO GAS PUMPS EQUIPPED WITH VAPOR RECLAMATION SYSTEMS.
