2002 GMC YUKON Complaints

DT: 2002 GMC YUKON. THE CONSUMER HAD TO HAVE ABS SENSORS REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT DID NOT EFFECT THE CONSUMER'S STATE, WHICH WAS WISCONSIN. THIS COULD BE REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP FOR THE AMOUNT OF $924. THE CONSUMER PAID TO HAVE SENSORS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN THE RECALLED VEHICLES . MECHANIC TESTED THE SENSORS AND STATED THIS WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE.*AK THE FRONT HUB AND BEARING WERE CORRODED ALONG WITH THE SENSORS. THE LEFT REAR AXLE WAS WORN WHICH CAUSED A FLUID LEAK. *JB

GMC 2002, YUKON: THE REACTION SUNSHELL BROKEN INSIDE OF TRANSMISSION. ONLY 64,000 MILES. 1) NO EVENT LEADING TO FAILURE: CALLED GMC PETERSON IN GURNEE ILLINOIS, GMC KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND IN FACT CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE SUNSHELL YET WILL NOT RECOVER MY COST. I NOW LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND GMC HERE IS DOING THE TRANSMISSION FIX. 2) FAILURE AND CONSEQUENCES: COULD BE EXTREMELY SERIOUS IF DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. LOSS OF POWER AND ACCELERATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. 3) CORRECT FAILURE: GMC IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE THAT I KNOW OF. CUSTOMERS ARE BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE. HOWEVER, AFTER TALKING WITH GURNEE PETERSON GMC ILLINOIS AND VALLEY GMC FROM WACONIA MINNESOTA, THIS REPAIR IS NOT UNCOMMON AND IS OCCURRING EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. I FEEL THIS WARRANTS A CORRECTIVE ACTION. *NM

PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. PARKING BRAKE NO LONGER HOLDS VEHICLE IN PLACE. DEALER CLAIMS LININGS WORE PREMATURELY. PARTS WERE NOT IN STOCK, SO WAITING FOR REPAIR. VERY SIMILAR TO PARKING BRAKE RECALL ON 2001 GMC SIERRA PICKUP RECALL #05V161000. *NM

ABS PROBLEM ON A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. LOW SPEED ABS COMING ON EVERY TIME BRAKE PEDAL IS USED UNDER 15 MPH. GMC RECALLED PROBLEM BUT ONLY IN EASTERN STATES, I LIVE IN UTAH WHICH IS NOT COVERED IN RECALL. *NM

THE FOG RUNNING LIGHT ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE HAS BEEN OUT SINCE 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF OUR VEHICLE. IRONICALLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SAME LIGHT IS OUT ON A GREAT NUMBER OF THE TAHOE'S & YUKON'S THAT I SEE ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY FLAW ON THIS MODEL YET IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE BULB BUT THE LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. *JB

DT: ON JUNE 7, 2005 WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE CONSUMER WAS FOLLOWING ANOTHER CAR. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF THE CONSUMER THAT SLOWED DOWN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN AS WELL. THE CONSUMER PUSHED THE BRAKES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND IT TOOK LONGER THAN USUAL TO STOP. THIS ALMOST CAUSED THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE TO HIT THE OTHER CAR IN THE REAR END. THE CONSUMER WAS SHAKEN AND WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE BRAKES WERE INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE BRAKES RUSTING. THE CONSUMER CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE BRAKES WENT OUT.

THE WEAR INDICATOR ON MY RIGHT REAR BRAKE WAS SIGNALING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD COMPLETELY WORN ON ONE SIDE AND THE SHOES HAD TO BE REPLACED; IT ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE ROTOR WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED, DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE ATTACHMENT OF THE SHOES (THE OPPOSITE OF HOW IT IS ATTACHED ON THE OTHER SIDE). *NM
