2002 GMC YUKON Complaints

ABS PUMP RUNNING ALL THE TIME, SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I MUST FIND OUT IF SAFE TO DRIVE. THANKS. *JB

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

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED IN NOVEMBER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, THE DEALERSHIP NOTICED THE REAR ROTORS WERE HITTING THE INSIDE OF THE BACKING PLATES INSIDE THE HUB. ALSO, THE ROTORS WERE RUSTED. THE FRONT END WAS ALSO OBSERVED TO BE SHAKING. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE SHAKING WAS NORMAL 4X4 CHARACTERISTICS; HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A LUBE KIT THAT GOES ON THE STEERING COLUMN UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE SHAKING RETURNED AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONTACT THE LUBE KIT WAS NO LONGER A REMEDY FOR THIS SHAKING PROBLEM. THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER REMEDY OFFERED.

2002 GMC YUKON XL FUEL PUMP FAILURE. ECMB FUSE WAS BLOWN WHICH RUNS THE FUEL PUMP. FUEL PRESSURE WAS FOUND AT 24 PSI. THIS ENGINE REQUIRES 55-62 PSI. CURRENT DRAW ON THE PUMP IS AT 9 AMPS. THIS IS WAY TOO HIGH. TRUCK WAS STARTED AFTER REPLACING FUSE, BUT RUNS BADLY AND STALLS OUT. TRUCK IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP FILLED OUT WRONG PAPERWORK AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THE CONTRACT WAS DENIED BECAUSE OF THIS ERROR. COST FOR REPLACING FUEL PUMP IS $950.00. TRUCK IS STILL NOT FIXED. JB

IN MAY 2005 MY VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION DUE TO PARKING BRAKE COULD NOT HOLD VEHICLE. PRIOR TO HAVING THE REPAIRS DONE I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. I THEN HAD THE PLACE WHERE THE INSPECTION WAS DONE REPAIR THE VEHICLE. IN APRIL OF 2006 I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE SQUEAKING WHEN I WAS IN REVERSE. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THE BACK PADS THAT WERE REPLACED LAST YEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A 2002 GMC YUKON I BOUGHT NEW IN 2001. IT HAS 56000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS MANY PROBLEMS. THE GM REP WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN. *NM

THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIRS. UPDATED 05/04/06.
