1998 GMC YUKON Complaints

I HAVE A 1998 GMC YUKON THAT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING BOX AND I HAVE COTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT RECALL #97V142000 AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW OF NO RECALL AT ALL FOR 98 YUKONS AND I KNOW THAT IT IS BY VIN #S BUT MY VEHICAL IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL ON OTHER YUKONS. I AM LOOSING MY STEERING!

FOR THE PAST YEAR, MY WIPERS HAVE BEEN STOPPING INTERMITTENTLY. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS RAINING, THEY DO NOT START. I TRY WHEN THE WEATHER IS DRYER, AND THEY SEEM TO WORK AT THAT TIME, HOWEVER, STILL INTERMITTENLY.

OUR 98 GMC YUKON SHOULD HAVE 2 RECALLS, ONE FOR THE WIPER MOTOR THAT EVERYTHING THE YEAR UPTO OURS WAS MADE HAD ONE & OURS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ALLL THE OTHER RECALLS DID & WE HAD NOTHING RECALLED ON OURS, THE 2ND IS THE STEERING GEAR BOX OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM BUT OURS THE SAME YEAR BUT NOT OUT VIN # FELL IN THE CATAGORY OF RECALLS BUT ITS THE SAME PROBLEM THE OTHERS HAD THAT NEEDED REPAIRED

CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP SIX TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. WHEN BEING REPLACED THE CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES,THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE DRIVER NOTICED THE BRAKES LACK OF BRAKING POWER IN ORDER TO STOP THE DISTANCE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE ROTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE ROTORS BEING WARPED. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ON MY 1988 GMC YUKON OCCASSIONALLY FAILS IN WET WEATHER. (AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR FILE #30V159000) THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, 03023 , DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD TO CHANGE LANES THROUGH TRAFFIC AND STOP ON THE SHOULDER BECAUSE I HAD NO VISIBILITY. THIS SAME EVENT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT. MY HUSBAND OWN A DIFFERENT GMC VECHILE THAT WAS RECALLED DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE 1998 YUKON WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD ADDRESS. THIS DEFECT IS PUTTING ALOT OF PEOPLE IN DANGER AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT GM IS AWARE OF IT.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A STEERING PROBLEM. THERE WAS A LOST OF MOTION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WAS LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. *AK THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER INTO ONCOMING LANES AND OR IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. *SC *JB

THE HEAD GASKET LEAKED WATER, DUE TO A FAULTY INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH A WET FLOOR, THE CONSUMER BELIEVED IT WAS COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER. DEALER NOT NOTIFIED YET. *NM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK UNDER PRESSURE WHICH RUSTED AND PITTED THE RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD. THE IMPROPERLY TORQUED GASKETS LEAKED AT 10 PSI REQUIRED BY THE MANUAL. THE REAR CLOGGED UP FORCING CONDENSATION TO BUILD UP AND ESCAPED INTO THE REAR COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH SOAKED THE PADDING. *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK
