2004 GMC YUKON Complaints

CAR HAS LOW MILES FOR AGE AND TODAY THE BRAKE LINE BEGAN TO LEAK UNDER DRIVER SIDE SEAT BECAUSE OF RUST. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 4:00PM, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC BEGAN TO SLOW AND BECOME BACKED UP, DUE TO CONGESTION IN A WORK ZONE. I APPLIED MY BRAKES, PUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I AVOIDED COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, BY MANEUVERING ONTO THE SHOULDER, AND HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WARNING INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED WITH THE FAILURE RECURRING NUMEROUS TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK PRIOR TO THE ENGINE STALLING. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,600. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY NEEDED TO BE FILLED BUT THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS.

AS I WAS BACKING MY TRUCK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I RELEASE THERE WAS NO BRAKE PRESSURE. THEN THE SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I STOP THE CAR POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICE THE FLUID WAS LOW. CHECK UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND THE LINE THAT GOES FRONT TO REAR IS BUSTED IN THE MIDDLE FROM RUST. I HAD TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN WHEN I MOVED IT BACK TO ITS SPACE. *TR

SIDE WALLS ARE FAILING. CRACKS ALL AROUND NEAR RIM. RUBBER IS ALSO PEALING OFF IN SLICES. ON 3 OUT OF 4 TIRES TIRE MODEL IS SPORT HT. *TR

TODAY WHEN STARTING MY 2004 YUKON, THE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED THE MESSAGES: "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND BARELY 3 MPH UP A MODERATELY STEEP HILL. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON ROUTE 80, DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER AND THANKFULLY MADE IT TO A DEALER. I'VE HEARD OF SO MANY GMC VEHICLES HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. WE NEED A SOLUTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

BRAKES WERE REDUCED TO ABOUT 10% OF NORMAL AND THE 'SERVICE BRAKES' LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. THE MECHANIC SAID ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES MUST BE REPLACED AS THEY ARE RUSTED, AND THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH GMC TRUCKS OF THIS TYPE. *TR

I WAS GOING TO WORK AND NOTICE MY SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT MOVING...AND THE RMP READING WAS NOT MOVING. I CHECK WITH MY MACHANIC AND THE PRICE WAS OVER $600. TO FIX AND ALL THE CABLES HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL PUT TOGETHER. GMC KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER CABLES. WE HAVE A 94 GMC AND NO PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. *TR

I WAS HOOKING UP A DUMP TRAILER TO MY 2004 YUKON XL AND WHEN I WENT TO DO A TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT CHECK ON THE TRAILER, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO WARNINGS OF ANY KIND. I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT MOVING AND HAD JUST COMPLETED DRIVING IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES. THE FAILURE WAS TOTAL AND IMMEDIATE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY SHOP WITH THE PARKING BRAKE. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE BRAKE FAILURE AS CORROSION IN BRAKE LINES AND FITTINGS. I JUST MOVED TO FLORIDA THIS YEAR, PREVIOUSLY THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN IN HEAVILY SALTED AND BRINED ROADS IN THE NORTHEAST. *TR
