2002 GMC YUKON Complaints

THE MAIN REAR METAL BRAKE LINE ON MY 2002 GMC YUKON XL HAS SPRUNG A LEAK DUE TO RUST. THE VEHICLE HAS 63,000 MILES. THERE WAS A SEVERE LOSS OF PEDAL PRESSURE,A LARGE INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCES AND LARGE PUDDLES OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2002 CHEVY TAHOE, AND I'M IN CHARGE OF SERVICING THREE, 2002 AND 2003 GMC YUKONS FOR MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. THE MIDDLE ROW SEATS IN ALL OF THESE HAVE SEATBELT ISSUES. THESE ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX OR REPLACE AND ALL FOUR VEHICLES THAT I DEAL WITH HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF THE SHOULDER BELTS IN THAT MIDDLE ROW SEAT THAT EITHER WONT COME OUT OR WON'T RETRACT. *TR

2002 GMC YUKON XL 8.1 VORTEC ENGINE TURNS OFF. POSSIBLY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. *TR

I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AFTER DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE TODAY. YESTERDAY, I REALIZED THAT TO STOP, I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE MY BRAKES HAD BEEN WORKING JUST FINE. TODAY I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM AND REPORTED IT TO MY BOYFRIEND, WHO CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION AT THE BRAKE LINES AND UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT, BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT RAPIDLY AND WAS PUDDLING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. HAD I NOT STOPPED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT, I CAN NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE NO LONGER WORKING. I HAVE A 2002 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. THIS VEHICLE THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED HAS STALLED ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND HAD DIFFICULTY SAFELY GETTING OFF THE ROADWAY, AS I HAD NO POWER. I HAVE DONE A FAIR AMOUNT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT I AM 1 OF MANY WITH THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 3-10 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) WOULD ENGAGE. THE DEALER ADVISED ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 05V379000: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTILOCK), HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, PEDAL UNEXPECTEDLY WENT TO FLOOR & BARELY AVOIDED COLLISION. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER, NOTIFIED DEALER OF BRAKE LINE FAILURE THAT NHTSA & GM ARE AWARE OF, AFTER THERE FOR 2 DAYS & DEALER NOT RETURNING OUR CALLS, WAS EVENTUALLY NOTIFIED 4 CORRODED BRAKE LINES NEED REPLACEMENT AT MY EXPENSE, STILL WAITING FOR ESTIMATE OF REPAIR COST GOING ON 3 DAYS. MY HUSBAND WAS A MECHANIC AT GM DEALERS FOR OVER 12 YEARS & NEVER SEEN 1 STATIC BRAKE LINE RUPTURE NEVERMIND 4 BECOME DEFECTIVE AT THE SAME TIME ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE BARELY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT & HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. DEALER WAS VERY UNCOOPERATIVE IN SEEKING GM REMEDIATION ASSISTANCE FOR US OR TAKING ANY SELF-INITIATIVE ANYTIME TO KEEP US INFORMED, VEHICLE OUT OF SERVICE & HAS BEEN AT DEALER FOR GOING ON 3 DAYS NOW, AFTER NOT FOLLOWING UP WITH US NOR RETURNING OUR CALLS JUST REACHED DEALER RIGHT BEFORE CLOSING TIME & WAS INFORMED THEY STILL CANNOT LOCATE PARTS AT FACTORY OR ANYWHERE ELSE, FACT THAT 4 LINES DEFECTIVE SIMULTANEOUSLY & STILL UNABLE TO LOCATE PARTS CLEARLY INDICATES MANUFACTURING DEFECT... NO CAR, NO SERVICE, NO PRICE, NO PARTS, WHEN WILL IT EVER END? RECOMMEND URGENT PRIORITY -IF NOT REMEDIED QUICKLY- MANY LIVES COULD BE LOST! *TR

THE ENGINE CAN STALL INTERMITTENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THIS SITUATION CAN SEVERELY IMPAIR HIGH SPEED STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. AFTER STALLING ENGINE WILL NOT START WHILE COASTING IT WILL START NORMALLY AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. *TR

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING: I HAVE A YUKON XL 2002. OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS THE ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. IT HAS OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEED AND AT LOW SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER NO LESS THAN 5 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS REPRESENTS A MAJOR DANGER AS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN THE CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND MOVING OUT OF THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC HAS BEEN EACH TIME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO ME AND TO OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

THE BRAKES ON MY 2002 GMC YUKON XL SEEM TO FAIL AT LOW SPEED. YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT GOES TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT STOP. WE HAVE HAD THE SPEED SENOR REPLACED, RECALLED PART REPLACED IN 2005. THE DESCRIPTION SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY TRUCK. GMC SAYS IT WILL NOT REPLACE THIS PART FOR FREE,SINCE IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE. THIS PART IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PART, I FEEL GMC SHOULD REPLACE IT. SAFETY FIRST. *TR
