1998 GMC YUKON Complaints

MINE PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE (ODI ID: 741897 ) THAT I FOUND POSTED ON YOUR WEB SITE. MY MECHANIC SAID HE WASN'T SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WE COULD START BY REPLACING THE STEERING BOX AND GOING FROM THERE. HAVE SPOKEN WITH 2 OTHER YUKON OWNERS AND THEY SAID THEY'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THAT GMC BASICALLY FELT THEY WERE FEELING SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T EXIST.*AK

NOISE IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY DEALER, THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A SIR COIL IN THE STEERING COLUMN.*SLC

WIPERS OPERATE IN AN INTERMITENT MANNER. THEY SLOW DOWN AND SOMETIMES STOP TOTALLY, AND THEN START OPERATING AGAIN. THEY MAY OPERATE FINE FOR A TIME AND THE START TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN STOP AGAIN. HAVE READ SOME EARLIER YEAR BLAZER AND TRUCKS HAD THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM. TURNED OUT TO BE A CRACKED CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. *AK

ON RIGHT TURNS STEERING WHEEL/ GEAR FEELS IT IS SLIPING ON OCCASIONS, IT FEELS AS IF THE FRONT WHEELS ARE SLIDING ON ICE FOR A SECOND .GMC GARAGE IN EL PASO REPLACED STEERING PUMP, DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

FUEL TANK LEAKS FROM TOP OF TANK AFTER FILL-UP, ALL FITTINGS APPEAR TO BE OK. THIS ONLY OCCURS AFTER TOPPING OFF, BUT LOSES ABOUT 1 GALLON FROM TOP MID-SECTION OF TANK. ALSO FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP SINCE THIS STARTED GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. *AK

BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE YUKON IS A WEAK LINK ON AN OTHERWISE GREAT VEHICLE. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL. THE PROBLEM WITH IT IS THAT THE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR EVERYTIME IT IS USED AND YOU TEND TO WONDER IF THE TRUCK WILL STOP IN TIME. I READ IN THE PAPER THIS WEEK THAT THE YUKON'S BRAKES ON THE 1999 AND LATER TRUCKS WERE RECALLED AND WOULD BET THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. EITHER WAY I WANT A COMPLAINT LISTED ABOUT THESE LOUSY BRAKES ON THE 98 MODEL YUKON AND MAYBE GMC WILL DESIGN A FIX FOR THIS LOUSY SYSTEM. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. NO 2ND GEAR OR REVERSE. TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN TAKEN OFF ROAD OR PULLED A TRAILER. GM IS REVIEWING THE CASE AS IT IS OUT OF THE ORIGINAL 36 MO./ 36,000 MI. WARRANTY.

BRAKE PEDAL REACHED THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED AND BRAKES KEEP ON SQUEAKING EVEN AFTER REPAIR. YH

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES SUDDENLY AND THEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE IS A JERK TO THE VEHICLE. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE AND SAID ITWAS NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRS SPORADICALLY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN VEHICLE SEVERLEY PULLS TO THE RIGHT, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
