2003 GMC Yukon

Defect. CERTAIN FEDERAL-MOGUL REPLACEMENT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES WITH THE BRAND NAMES: NATIONAL, CARQUEST P/NOS. 515020, 515021, 515025, 515053, 515054, 515059, AND 515060, SHIPPED BETWEEN JANUARY 23, 2006, AND DECEMBER 20, 2007, SOLD FOR LIGHT DUTY AND MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS. THE INBOARD RETENTION NUT USED TO MAINTAIN HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY CAN LOOSEN RESULTING IN AN ABS LIGHT INDICATION, NOISE, AND/OR WHEEL SEPARATION.

Risk. WHEEL SEPARATION CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy. FEDERAL-MOGUL WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND WILL REPLACE THE HUB ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 7, 2008. OWNERS CAN CONTACT FEDERAL-MOGUL TOLL-FREE AT 877-489-6659.

Defect. CERTAIN REPLACEMENT FUEL FILTERS, FRAM BRAND NAME P/N G3727, WITH DATE CODES X52911 THROUGH X60801 SEQUENTIALLY OR X600141 AND A MEXICO COUNTRY OR ORIGIN MARKING ON THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 18, 2005, THROUGH MARCH 21, 2006, SOLD FOR USE ON THE VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE AND ON CERTAIN SCHOOL BUSES. (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 CREW CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE 2ND ROW CENTER OCCUPANT SEAT BELT ROUTING MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO POSITION THE LAP PORTION OF THE SAFETY BELT LOW AROUND THE HIPS OF OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY SMALLER OCCUPANTS, SEATED IN THIS POSITION. APPROPRIATE USE OF A CHILD SEAT OR BOOSTER SEAT, AS RECOMMENDED FOR SMALL CHILDREN, DOES IMPROVE THE FIT CONDITION FOR THIS USER GROUP. IN ADDITION TO INSTRUCTIONS ON PROPER INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD RESTRAINT (WITH CHILD SEATS OR BOOSTERS), SPECIAL VERBIAGE FOR RESTRAINING OLDER CHILD IS INCLUDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. ALSO, THE SUGGESTED SEAT BELT FIT/ROUTING FOR ADULTS, IRRESPECTIVE OF SEATING POSITION, IS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL TEXT.

Risk. A LAP PORTION OF THE SEAT BELT ROUTING THAT IS NOT LOW AND SNUG ON THE HIPS CAN ALLOW THE LAP BELT TO RIDE UP ON AN OCCUPANT'S ABDOMEN INSTEAD OF FITTING LOW AROUND THEIR HIPBONES, AND THEREFORE, CAN EXPOSE THEM TO MORE RISK OF ABDOMINAL AND INTERNAL ORGAN INJURY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL CUT OPEN THE GUIDE LOOP, REMOVE A PORTION OF THE LOOP, AND THEN THE REMAINING TWO SIDES SHOULD BE FOLDED OVER AND SECURED WITH A RETAINER FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 21, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, OR HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493.

Defect. CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND PASSENGER VANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, ?PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.? SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION BRAKE HYDRO-BOOST HOUSING RELIEF VALVE BORE.

Risk. CONSEQUENTLY, THE VALVE O-RING SEAL MAY FRACTURE. STEERING EFFORTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY INCREASED WHILE BRAKING OR PARKING. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, A FRACTURED SEAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THE SAME VEHICLE DECELERATION RATE AS PRIOR TO THE SEAT FRACTURE.

Remedy. DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 18, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339; CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463; OR HUMMER AT 1-866-486-6376.

Defect. CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCK, VAN, AND MINI VAN CONVERSIONS EQUIPPED WITH SOUTHERN COMFORT BUILT RUNNING BOARDS THAT CONTAIN CERTAIN COURTESY LIGHTS MANUFACTURED BY AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS, INC. THESE UNITS CONTAIN A COURTESY LIGHT OR LIGHTS THAT MIGHT OVERHEAT WHEN THE WIRE HARNESS IS EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE MOISTURE AND ROAD SALT.

Risk. THIS OVERHEATING CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE RUNNING BOARD TO MELT OR CAUSE A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS ON THESE RUNNING BOARDS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 7, 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 SOUTHERN COMFORT AT 1-800-745-6096.

Defect. CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 214, "SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION." THESE VEHICLES ARE BUILT WITH FOUR WELDS ON THE REAR DOOR UPPER HINGE. ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, ONE OR TWO OF THE WELDS MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION.

Risk. AS A RESULT, THE DOOR STRENGTH MAY BE DEGRADED DURING A SIDE IMPACT VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WELDS ON THE LEFT REAR DOOR UPPER HINGE. IF A WELD IS FOUND OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION, A BOLT WILL BE INSTALLED TO SECURE THE HINGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 17, 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 CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.

My 03 Yukon Denali is experiencing all of the same things that the recall on the 2021 Yukon is experiencing. What do I do? The recall notice I am referring to is N252494000

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving at various speed, the vehicle would stall as the battery warning light appeared on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the vehicle would shake upon depression of the brake pedal without warning. The vehicle was taken to the independent where the vehicle was purchased and was offered no assistance. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that upon purchasing the vehicle from a towing company, the vehicle would not start. The battery was instantly replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle would wobble and shut off inadvertently while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the stabilizers and shocks were replaced. The independent mechanic then took the vehicle to an electrical failure specialist where it was diagnosed that the front end of the vehicle was experiencing electrical failures. Additionally, the contact stated that a warning message stating that the air bags were not working was displayed. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000. Consumer stated in 2016 the odometer was at 175,000 miles per car fax. When consumer bought the vehicle on March 25th 2022 the odometer read 202,575.

When I turn out of a parking spot it clicks and pops replaced ball joints shocks tie rods everything it won't go away and it does it when I pull into a parking spot

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING I'VE REPLACED FUEL PUMP. KNOCK SENSORS COILS AND PLUGS AND IT STILL DOES IT AND DOES NOT THROW A TROUBLE CODE.

CAR LOOSES POWER AND GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER. UNABLE TO DRIVE OVER 2MPH. HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES, IN ALL MODES OF TRAVEL, UPHILL, DOWNHILL, FROM A STOP AND ACCELERATION. THE WORST WAS WHEN IT HAPPENED GOING 55MPH ON A HIGHWAY. TWO SEPARATE MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER $1,300 WORTH OF WORK AND NEW PARTS. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MID OCTOBER 2019

ALL METERS ON THE DASH BOARD IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. METERS SUCH AS THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS METER, RPM METER, ETC ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING ON SMALL ROADS, HIGHWAYS, AND FREEWAYS, IT DOES NOT INDICATE THE SPEED ACCURATELY. THE GAS METER DOES NOT INDICATE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE GAS TANK WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED OR WHEN ITS DRIVING. RPM METER ALSO IS NOT FUNCTIONING WHILE WE'RE DRIVING.

I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY GMC YUKON BLEW OUT. THE LINE HAD RUSTED THOROUGH. THIS OCCURRED IN 2012. SINCE THEN AS A GM TECHNICIAN I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF CUSTOMERS, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WITH GM TRUCKS HAVE THEIR BRAKE LINES BLOW OUT FROM RUST. GM HAS A REAL ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE BRAKES LINES ON THEIR TRUCK MODELS TEND TO RUST OUT. GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL BUT OFFERED A NEW BRAKE LINE KIT. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHY? I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR GM CARS. AS FAR AS I KNOW NO ONE HAS DIED AS A RESULT BUT THERE HAS TO HAVE BEEN INJURIES. IS IT NOT YOUR JOB TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE? ONCE AGAIN WHY?

THE RIGHT FRONT DRIVERS SIDE HUBS WAS ABOUT TO COME OFF AND MY ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE FACTORY INSTALLED HEAD GASKET HAS BEEN SAID TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS APPARENTLY IS A "COMMON" PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD AS THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR TAILGATE GLASS SHATTERED. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT REMEMBERED THAT THE REAR DEFOGGER WAS TURNED ON; HOWEVER, SHE WAS UNSURE IF IT WAS ON AT THE TIME THE GLASS SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE REAR TAILGATE GLASS WAS REPLACED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 225,000.

TAKATA RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INDEPENDENT DECELERATION AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP, SPARK PLUGS, TRANSMISSION, AND ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL GENERAL GRABBER TIRES, SIZE: 305/23/40R (NA). WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TIRES VIBRATED AND MADE AN ABNORMAL SOUND. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS DEFLATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE MECHANIC, BUT NO DIAGNOSIS WAS PROVIDED. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX MONTHS LATER WITH THE SAME FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,799 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,201.

SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS ARE INACCURATELY READING. SPEEDOMETER RANGES FROM 25 - 70 MPH OVERSTATED. FUEL GAUGE REMAINS WELL IN EXCESS OF FULL UNTIL ABOUT 7 GALLONS ARE LEFT IN TANK. OIL PRESSURE IS REGISTERING WELL TO THE RIGHT OF THE HIGHEST READING. PROBLEM BEGAN DURING COLD TEMPERATURE (AROUND 10 DEGREES) AND IMPROVES WITH TEMPERATURE INCREASES BUT HAS NOT RESOLVED ITSELF. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS GM SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT 07187A. THE VIN IS WITHIN THE CATEGORY LISTED BY THE POLICY; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS BUT FITS WITHIN THE MILEAGE RESTRICTIONS SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 64,500 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH CLEARLY IMPACTS SAFETY. THE FOLLOWING LINK DESCRIBES THE KNOWN ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.GMSPEEDOMETERRECALL.COM/GMC-SPEEDOMETER-SETTLEMENT LOCATION OF VEHICLE IS KANSAS CITY, KS SINCE I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF RELOCATION.

MY BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED OUT AS DESCRIBE IN THE ARTICLE BELOW. COSTING ME OVER 650.00 TO REPAIR. LESS THAN 115K ON MY CAR! NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE LINES BEFORE... I LOST MY BRAKE UN-EXPECTANTLY DURING A RAIN STORM IN COHASSET, MA ON 1/10/2017. LUCKILY I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD COMING TO A STOP SIGN AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED NOR WERE MY 3 KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. I SAW THIS ARTICLE BELOW AND DECIDED TO WRITE YOU. HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/NEWS/CONSUMERS-COMPLAIN-OF-CORRODED-BRAKE-LINES-IN-OLDER-GM-TRUCKS-013014.HTML

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. WITHOUT WARNING, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING. A MECHANIC REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE LINES; HOWEVER, 1,000 MILES LATER, THE FRONT BRAKE LINES ALSO FRACTURED. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE RUST AND CORROSION. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR THE FAILURE COULD RECUR. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V045000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HYDRAULIC UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WAS TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. GUIDED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. THEY FOUND RUSTED BRAKE LINES AT THE ABS VALVE ALONG WITH A RUSTED BACKING PLATE FOR THE VALVE. IN ORDER TO IMPROVE VEHICLE SAFETY THE LINES WILL ALL BE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY POOR DESIGN SINCE A SINGLE FAILURE SHOULD NOT CAUSE TOTAL FAILURE OF A SUPPOSED DUAL BREAKING SYSTEM.

THE BACK GLASS LEFT SIDE HINGE SEPARATED FROM THE GLASS AND BROKE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE GLASS COULD HAVE COME OFF FROM SUCTION AND HURT SOMEONE. THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR OTHER GMC SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES BUT NOT FOR THIS VIN.

TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WHILE STATIONARY AND ENGAGING DRIVE MODE IN DRIVEWAY. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. PARKING BRAKE ALSO SOFT AND INEFFECTIVE BUT RESTORED NORMAL CONDITION SHORTLY THEREAFTER.. NO BRAKE OR ABS SYSTEM SERVICE ALERTS OR FAULT WARNINGS PRIOR TO FAILURE. 'SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM' ALERT PRESENT AFTER FAILURE. NO OBDS CODES PRESENT. SUSPECT BRAKE LINE CORROSION. APPROXIMATELY 170,000 MILES. RECENT TIRE/BRAKE/ALIGNMENT INSPECTION REVEALED NO ISSUES. THIS IS A VERY CLEAN, "NEW TO ME" USED VEHICLE WITH AN EXCELLENT RECORD OF SERVICE. HAD JUST COMPLETED A TROUBLE FREE 2400 MILE INTERSTATE ROAD TRIP.

I WAS TOWING A 17' BOAT AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE YUKON DID NOT SLOW AT ALL. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS COMING AND I ROLLED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, MADE A RIGHT TURN, AND WENT DOWN A STEEPER HILL. PUMPING THE BRAKES AS I WENT HAD NO EFFECT. THE DASH SHOWED A 'SERVICE BRAKE' MESSAGE. I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE AND DOWN-SHIFTED, WHICH SLOWED IT ENOUGH THAT I WAS ABLE TO SWING WIDE INTO THE OPPOSING TRAFFIC LANE AND BARELY MAKE THE TURN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE RIGHT-WHEELS ON A SOFT SHOULDER BEFORE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP. I REFILLED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND HAD MY WIFE PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AS BRAKE FLUID SHOT ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD, LEAKING FROM A RUSTED JOINT WHERE THE STEEL BRAKE LINE JOINED A FLEXIBLE, BRAIDED LINE UNDER THE HOOD. THE BRAKE LINES WERE HORRIBLY RUSTED, UNLIKE ANYTHING I HAD EVER SEEN IN MY 35+ YEARS OF DRIVING AND OWNING VEHICLES (INCLUDING 20 CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS). THIS YUKON HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE LIFE REGISTERED IN VIRGINIA AND HAS LESS THAN 80K MILES ON IT. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THEY ARE LIKE IN NORTHERN STATES. LOOKING ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE NHTSA HAD INVESTIGATED. WHY WAS I NOT WARNED? I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED, AS COULD HAVE ANOTHER MOTORIST OR PEDESTRIAN! WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER (OURISMAN OF ALEXANDRIA, VA), THE SERVICE ADVISOR CLAIMED TO BE UNAWARE OF THE PRO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR AND RELAY SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000.

LOST ALL BRAKING , TOOK TRUCK TO REPAIR SHOP AND THE BRAKE LINES HAD CORRODED AND HAD SEVERAL HOLES IN THEM. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE METAL LINES ON THE VEHICLE. BRAKES WERE FINE HOOKED UP UTILITY TRAILER AND PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. GOING DOWN HILL, APPLIED BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AND NONE OF THE GAUGES FUNCTIONED. IN ADDITION, THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WAS NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

BRAKE LINE FAILURE - ST. LOUIS MO. BRAKES FAILED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLOW FROM 60MPH SPEED ON CHRISTMAS DAY. NARROWLY ESCAPED ACCIDENT/COLLISION. 2 BRAKE LINES WERE FOUND RUPTURED/SPLIT DUE FROM RUST/CORROSION THEN REPAIRED. OTHER BRAKE LINES ARE SHOWING CORROSION & WILL NEED ATTENTION SOON. VEHICLE IS 2003 GMC YUKON WITH 101,300 MILES.

SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY STICKS, OR ACCELERATES TO MAXIMUM. OIL PRESSURE GAUGES MAX OUT AS WELL. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH NO CONCEPT OF SPEED, AND ALSO VERY ILLEGAL. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE, I CAN TURN OFF THE ENGINE. IF I CONTINUE TO TURN THE KEY 90% (BUT NOT ENOUGH TO START THE ENGINE), AND LET OFF, THE GAUGES WILL DROP UP TO 5%. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF RESETTING THE INSTRUMENTS, THE GAUGES WILL RESET. HOWEVER, THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE I MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE AT 40 INSTEAD OF 25, BUT MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS 80. CLEARLY UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT TRAVELED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO GEAR DOWN IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

THERE IS A RECALL #05068 THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR, EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE AND BRAKE. (2003 GMC YUKON XL). HOWEVER, GMC CLAIMS MY CAR "ISN'T EFFECTED" AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. MY ISSUES ARE 1. GETTING DANGEROUS, AS THE CAR BOGS AND WON'T ACCELERATE WITHOUT A PERIOD OF HESITATION AND THEN IT GIVES TOO MUCH ACCELERATION WHICH CAN BE BAD IF I'M ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE. ALSO, THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES WHICH IS ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING: 2. MY ABS KICKS IN RANDOMLY, EVEN IF THE PAVEMENT IS TOTALLY DRY AND CLEAR. APPARENTLY, THIS IS CAUSED BY A CORRODED MOUNTING SURFACE FOR THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. THE CORROSION BUILDS UP CAUSING EXCESSIVE GAP BETWEEN MOUNTING SURFACE AND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WHICH CAUSES A LOSS OF WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL. WHEN THE ABS MODULE SEES THE LOSS OF SIGNAL IT THINKS THE VEHICLE IS SLIDING OUT OF CONTROL SO IT WILL ACTIVATE THE TRACTION CONTROL OR ABS. DESCRIPTION FROM RECALL #05068: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "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...

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,832.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY DRAINED PREMATURELY. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS ALSO REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHO LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE ENGINE ELECTRICAL WIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER BATTERY DRAIN REPLACEMENT RECALL 02066. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I HAD A BRAKING PROBLEM MARCH 2015, CORROSION OF THE BRAKE LINES. I HAVE A 2003 YUKON 2500 QUADRASTEER. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN THE BRAKES WENT. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT!!!!! I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL PRACTICALLY TO THE FLOOR, I WAS ABLE TO ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I GOT OUT THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID POURING OUT FROM THE BRAKE LINES TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WHY GM RUNS THE LINES RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE UNDERCARRIAGE IS A MYSTERY TO ME. IT IS JUST GOING TO BE EXPOSED TO SALT! I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND WE USE A LOT OF SALT IN THE WINTER MONTHS. YES THINGS DO RUST, BUT I ALWAYS WASH THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY TRUCK! IT'S A CASE OF POOR ENGINEERING AND IT LEADS TO PREMATURE CORROSION. I AM A MOTHER OF 3 YOUNG CHILDREN AND THANK GOD THEY WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. *TR

FOUND A BROKEN OFF EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT ON DRIVEWAY 3 YEARS AGO. FOUND ANOTHER BROKEN ONE TODAY. BOTH ARE FROM THE SAME SIDE. NOW INSTEAD OF 6 BOLTS I HAVE 4 BOLTS.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER SON, OUR GRANDSON, HOME FROM SCHOOL IN MY YUKON. AS SHE WAS LEAVING THE CITY LIMITS JUST STARTING TO GET UP TO LEGAL 55 MPH AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE FORTUNATELY SAW A BODY SHOP AND MANAGED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE IN THERE AND DOWN SHIFTED TO STOP. SHE WAS FORTUNATE TO FIND THIS LOCATION. AS YOU LEAVE TOWN THERE IS A LARGE HILL WE ARE THANKFUL THE BRAKES DID NOT FAIL AS SHE WAS GOING DOWN IT. I JUST AM UPSET THERE WAS NO WARNING, AND WE FIND OUT THE WHOLE BRAKE LINE FAILED. IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 55 COMING FROM SIKESTON MO HEADED TO ST LOUIS WITH MY FAMILY.

I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED BACK THE MECHANIC ASSUMED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE WAS GONE OUT BUT UPON REMOVING THE TRANSFER CASE IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION ADAPTER HAD SHATTER I HAD MANY DEALERS LOOK AT THE PIECE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN NOTHING LIKE IT. THE METAL GAVE AWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON NOTHING ELSE WAS DAMAGED EXCEPT THAT TRANSMISSION ADAPTER. IT WAS FRIGHTENING FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS ON WHY THIS HAPPENED THANK YOU SO MUCH *TR

ON 9/16/14, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND STARTED THE ENGINE. UPON STARTING THE ENGINE, BOTH AIRBAGS BLEW UP. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR IMPACT, THEY JUST BLEW UP. THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT ONE BLEW UP TOO. I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO GM AND THEY INVESTIGATED IT AND HAVE DENIED PAYING TO REPAIR DAMAGES. THEY SAY THERE WAS CORROSION IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR. NOWHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES IT SAY THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THESE CONNECTIONS. THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY DEVICE THAT SHOULD BE ASSEMBLED WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CARE A PRECISION. THIS IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OR THE OWNER OR OPERATOR, IT IS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GM. NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE, IT HAS TWO BLOWN AIRBAGS. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT GM HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM ONGOING, THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT CORROSION COULD CAUSE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS AT ANY MOMENT. I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND OR INJURY. *TR
