1998 GMC YUKON Complaints

A BAD ODOR WAS COMING INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTS WHICH CAUSED THE OCCUPANTS TO FEEL ILL. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR MATS WERE WET AND COVERED BY CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANALYSIS AND THE MECHANIC FOUND GREEN MOLD LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR MATS. WATER WAS LEAKING INSIDE OF THE WHEELS WELL AND DRAINED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS. *NLM

THE TRUNK AREA HAS A LEAK INSIDE WHICH CAUSES A BAD SMELL AND GROWTH OF MOLD. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING DUE TO THE WIRES DISCONNECTING, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. *AK

NAR 05/28/2003 *MR THE CONSUMER BRAKES LOCKED IN A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM DUE TO SENSOR FAILURE AND THE COST OF REPAIRS WERE APPROX $455.00. *CB

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 1998 YUKON NEVER SEEM TO WANT TO WORK WHEN IT RAINS. OTHER TIMES THEY SEEM TO BE OK ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME, BUT THE FAILURE IN THE RAIN IS ABOUT 75%. *JB

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY 1998 GMC YUKON WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TOWING A 23 FT. BOAT! I KNOW GM HAS RECALLED MANY VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT INCLUDE 1998 MODELS! PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX THE WHOLE PROBLEM BEFORE A LOT OF PEOPLE DIE! I ALMOST TOOK OUT THREE VEHICLES BEFORE I COULD GET OVER ON THE SHOULDER! I'VE FIXED MY YUKON ALREADY BECAUSE IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT GM IS STILL DROPPING THE BALL! *JB

1998 GMC YUKON NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACED, WHICH IS BECOMING A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND OTHER SUV'S FROM GM. *JB

DRIVER SIDE SEAT (LEFT FRONT CONNECTION) BROKE WHILE GETTING INTO CAR. THE WELDED CONNECTION BROKE THROUGH THE METAL FRAME ON THE SEAT. A REAR END COLLISION WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THE SEAT TO BREAK INTO THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER AREA IF NOT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.*JB

A NOTICEABLE PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE THAT GOES TO THE LEFT, IT WILL STARTLE YOU AT FIRST. POSSIBLY THE STEERING BOX OR RELATED STEERING COLUMN. HAS HAPPENED TO MANY TIMES TO REMEMBER. FREINDS OF MINE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 98 TAHOE, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE, THEN I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, WHICH GMC SAYS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR ONLY LIKE 45OO VEHICLES INVOLVED , BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS A LOT MORE. PLEASE HELP . *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THERE WAS TREAD SEPARATION ON REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE. NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. P245/75R16, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, 30000 MILES, MOUNTED ON A GMC, YUKON. *AK *SCC
