2002 GMC YUKON Complaints

TIRES ON 2002 GMC YUKON XL FIRESTONE WILDERNESS P265R70-16 ARE CUPPING AND ARE WORN OUT. 26000 MILES. GMC DEALER SAYS IT IS TIRE DEFECT, FIRESTONE DEALER SAYS IT A DESIGN DEFECT IN VEHICLE. FIRESTONE DEALER SAYS THEY SEE NUMEROUS CASES OF PREMATURE TIRE WARE DUE TO DESIGN DEFECT IN VEHICLE FRONT SUSPENSION. NEED ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING ISSUE OF DEFECT TIRE VS VEHICLE. *LA

WHEN THE CARGO DOOR WAS OPENED GLASS DETACHED FROM IT AND CAME OFF. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF IMPROPER INSTALLATION AT TIME OF THE GLASS BEING MANUFACTURED, PER DEALERSHIP. *AK

I REALIZE THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE; BUT BEAR WITH ME. WE HAVE A YUKON XL GMC 2002 MODEL. WE HAVE HAD THE CARPET REPLACED 3 TIMES!! THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE CARPET ON THIS MODEL. IT SHEDS, NOT A LITTLE HAND FULLS. IF YOU ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN "FUZZ" FROM THE CARPET IS FLYING EVERYWHERE. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH ANNE MARIE EXECUTIVE FOR GMC, I LEARNED THAT 2002, 2003, AND SOON TO BE 2004 CARPET IS LIKE THIS. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT COUNT ON IT. YOU ARE SO CAUGHT OFF GUARD AT THE FLYING CARPET. PLEASE JUST LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I RECEIVED AN ANSWER OF THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS AND WE DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE IT.

I HAVE A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN JUNE OF 2002. AT 376 MILES MY BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKED UP. I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM EVER SINCE. AS YOUR DRIVING THE BRAKES APPLY AND YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME, BUT DOES HAPPEN. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER, POWER BOOSTER, AND ALL 4 ROTORS. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED AND BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING IT, THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED ON 9/11/03 IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE THERE BECAUSE I FEAR DRIVING IT. LAST THING I HEARD WAS THEY WERE SHIPPING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS THERE PROBLEM. PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING I CAN DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THERE HAS BEEN EVIDENCE OF DEFECT BECAUSE THE ROTORS HAVE SHOWN DAMAGE DUE TO DEFECT. *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT VEHICLE HESITATION. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND HAD REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. ALSO ABS LIGHT TURNED ON DASH, AS WELL AS THE GAUGES. DEALER WAS CONTACTED ANDS STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK

I BOUGHT A NEW 2002 YUKON XL WHICH CAME WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS LE TIRES INCLUDING THE SPARE. I HAVE ROTATED ALL TIRES PROPERLY AND ACCORDING TO THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, EVERY THREE TO FIVE THOUSAND MILES. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT CHECK OUT, WHICH WAS FOUND TO BE PERFECTLY IN ALIGNMENT. THE TIRES HAVE 24,000 MILES ON THEM. ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE WITH HIGH/LOW SPOTS ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE TREAD. THE THREE CENTER ROWS OF TREAD ARE WEARING PERFECTLY CORRECT AND EVEN. THE TIRE SHOP AND THE DEALERSHIP RECCOMMENDS REPLACING ALL THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AT HIGHER HIGHWAY SPEEDS.*AK

THE CONSUMER HAD DIFFICULTY FILLING THE GAS TANK. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE TANK HAD TO BE FILLED SLOWLY. WHEN REACHING ABOUT 3/4 FULL, FUEL LEAKED OUT. CONSUMER CONTACTED GM THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS A BULLETIN OUT REGARDING THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP NEVER FIXED THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER FELT GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *AK *CB *JB
