2002 GMC YUKON Complaints

THERE IS A RECALL (05V379000) AND I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IN 2007, NOW THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TWO YEARS LATER AND THEY WONT COVER IT. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME. *TR

WAS DRIVING APPROX 60MPH ON NEWLY PAVED 4 LANE HIGHWAY (US 31). VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A NOISE AND THEN SHAKE. FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH APPROX 80% OF THE TREAD AND BELT SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AND NUMEROUS HOLES IN THE TIRE. MANY SHARP STEEL PRONG ENDS WERE STICKING OUT OF THE TIRE AND THE SEPARATED TREAD/BELT. DESTROYED THE WHEEL WELL COVERING. 2002 YUKON XL. TIRES HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN MARCH 2008. WHEN LOOKING AT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE, IT HAD NUMEROUS LARGE CRACKS FROM THE TREAD EXTENDING INTO THE SIDEWALL. TO AVOID HAVING ANOTHER BLOWOUT/SEPARATION, QUICKLY REPLACED THAT TIRE AND RETURNED BOTH TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED. HAVING THE DEALER CONTACT COOPER AND INSPECT THE REAR 2 TIRES AS WELL (VISUAL INSPECTION DID NOT SHOW THE TREAD/SIDEWALL CRACKS). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK) BECAUSE HER VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATES AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. THE ABS ACTIVATION ALSO MAKES STOPPING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILURE ON 2002 YUKON DENALI IN MICHIGAN. MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM OF THE RECALL. THOUGH MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE RECALL. GM IS REFUSING TO FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE GM COMPUTER SYSTEM AS REQUIRING THE RECALL. PLEASE GET GM TO PUT VEHICLE REQUIRED BY RECALL IN THEIR SYSTEM. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BACK LIFT GLASS BLEW OFF THE TAILGATE AND HIT A MOTORCYCLIST HE WAS NOT INJURED BUT THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO HIS BIKE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS TO THE GLASS AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE GLASS SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I WENT TO THE GLASS PLACE THE GUY TOLD ME THE SAME THING HAPPEN WITH HIS SUV AND THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD TO UPDATE HIS LIFT GLASS WITH BOLTS INSTEAD OF THE GLUE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY USED WHEN MANUFACTURED. *TR
