1995 GMC YUKON Complaints

ENGINE EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS OF STARTING HARD WHEN HOT OR STALLING WITH NO WARNING. THE SES LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CODES 17, 18, 35 & 36 WERE STORED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THIS AND TRUCK WAS AT DEALER FOR 3 APPOINTMENTS BUT DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. THESE CODES ALMOST ALWAYS INDICATE A FAILING FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND CALLS TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS LINE ASKING WHY NOTHING WAS BEING DONE TO CHANGE THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE. A CASE NUMBER WAS ASSIGNED. ALL VISITS TO THE DEALER WERE DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. A TRIP FOLLOWING THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEARLY RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION ON AND INTERSTATE AS THE TRUCK STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I PURCHASED A NEW GM FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF AND RESOLVED THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY. GM HAS SINCE REINSTATED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL TRUCKS INCLUDING MINE. I AM SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR A REFUND FOR MY LOSSES.*AK

2-DOOR TAHOES AND YUKONS ARE PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROLL-OVER, FOR LACK OF A REAR ANTI-ROLL BAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER. OUR 1995 YUKON ROLLED AT LESS THAN 35MPH AND WAS TOTALED. WE INSTALLED A REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR ON OUR REPLACEMENT 1995 TAHOE AND IT IS NOW MUCH SAFER. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THE REAR SWAY BAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON ALL 2-DOOR TAHOES AND YUKONS.

DASHBOARD BROKE AWAY FROM THE SUPPORT BOLTS, WHOLE DASHBOARD SHAKES VIOLENTLY. *AK

ORGINAL DELCO BATTERY LEAKED ACID ALL OVER FENDER WELL AND FLOOR OF GARAGE. UPON INVESTIGATING , FOUND THAT POSITIVE POST WAS LOOSE FROM BATTERY AND LEAKING. REPLACE WITH ANOTHER DELCO, SUPPOSE TO BE A BETTER MODEL AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM THEY WERE HAVING. AGAIN IN ABOUT 18 MONTHS, THE SAME THING AGAIN. REPLACED AGAIN WITH SAME PROBLEM, THIS TIME I BOUGHT A SEARS DIE HARD, AND HOPEFULLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. HEARD THE SAME STOREY FROM AT LEAST 10 FRIENDS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES. SHOULD HAVE REALIZED THEY HAD A PROBLEM. I THINK IT IS IN THE BOLT (TERMINAL) DISIGN. SHORTER BOLT (TERMINAL) ON NEGATIVE SIDE, AND EITHER THE LONGER BOLT ON THE POSITVE TERMANAL WAS PIERCING THE INNER WALL OF THE BATTERY, OR IT WASN'T GOING IN FAR ENOUGH AND CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL BAD CONNECTION, CAUSING A HEAT BUILD UP. I THINK YOU WILL FIND IN MOST CASES THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND BOLT WAS CORODED TO NEARLY NOTHING IN THE CENTER OF POSITIVE BOLT. I SEE WHERE ON THE NEWER G.M . TRUCKS THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED AND I SURE HOPE I DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *AK
