2003 GMC YUKON Complaints

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT CORRECTLY REFLECT WHAT IS IN THE TANK, HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS OR COME CLOSE QUITE A FEW TIMES DUE TO INCORRECT READINGS, IT WILL SHOW 1/2 FULL AND DROP RAPIDLY WITHIN MINUTES TO EMPTY. I'VE TAKEN IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAUGE CLUSTER IN THE DASH SO THEY REPLACED IT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK IN AND OF COURSE AT THAT TIME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS AT THE DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THEY ASSUME THE SENDING UNIT IS BAD AND WOULD REPLACE IT IF I PAID FOR IT, WHY THIS WASN'T DONE THE 1ST TIME UNDER WARRANTY IS BEYOND ME, BUT I'VE NOTICED ON THE NEWS THAT OTHER VEHICLES ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND SEARCHING THE WEB I SEE I'M NOT ALONE. THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE POLICE OFFICER ADVISED THAT THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH BUT THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 30 MPH.

THE ODOMETER AND OIL GAUGE IS ALL THE TIME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM GM HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME GET THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT REPAIRED.

I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON. SEVERAL DAYS AGO I WAS GOING TO PUT SOME ITEMS IN THE BACK END. AFTER RAISING THE REAR HATCH GLASS, I HEARD A POPPING NOISE. I COULDN'T TELL WHERE IT CAME FROM AT FIRST, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO SHUT THE REAR GLASS, THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GLASS JUST POPPED UP. AFTER LOOKING AT IT CLOSELY I COULD SEE THAT THE GLASS WAS SEPARATED FROM THE RIGHT HINGE. I HAD TO PULL THE GLASS DOWN BY HAND AND ALIGN IT WHILE TRYING TO SHUT THE GLASS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2003 MODEL WITH 55,000 MILES. IT IS A SECOND VEHICLE AND STAYS GARAGED MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE A 1996 TAHOE I USE FOR HAULING AND ODD JOBS. I HAVE PROBABLY OPENED THE REAR GLASS ON THE 2003 YUKON NO MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES IN THE YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD IT I USUALLY OPEN THE ENTIRE HATCH. GM STATES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A DEFECT AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. UPON CHECKING ON LINE APPARENTLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE REPAIR COSTS APPROXIMATELY $1000.00. IF THIS GLASS BLOWS OUT OR FALLS OFF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED NOT ONLY FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE GLASS BUT FROM FLYING GLASS AND DEBRIS./ THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT AGAIN GM IS IGNORING UNTIL SOMEONE IS INJURED AND THEY ARE SUED. *TR

THE RIGHT HINGE OF THE REAR LIFT GLASS ON 2003 GMC YUKON FAILED CAUSING A DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEREBY THE REAR GLASS COULD BLOW OUT, OR OTHERWISE FALL OFF THE CAR. I AM TOLD THE ENTIRE REAR LIFT GLASS MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

I OWN A 2003 GMC YUKON, LAST YEAR THE INSTRUMENT DASH CLUSTER STARTED TO FAIL ALONG WITH A CONTINUOUS LOUD DINGING FROM THE WARNING BELL AND THE AIR CONDITIONING WOULD STOP WORKING ALONG WITH THE WINDOWS POWERING OFF, SHORTLY AFTER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC DESCRIBING THIS EXACT DEFECT, RECENTLY I CONTACTED GMC REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WAS GREETED BY A CALL CENTER IN THE PHILIPPINES, THE MAN TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE, AFTER I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND STARTED DIAGNOSTICS I CALLED BACK TO LET THEM KNOW AND THEY THEN INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. I WAS OUTRAGED THAT THEY HAD ACTUALLY PULLED A BAIT AND SWITCH ON A REPAIR???, AFTER BEING LEFT ON HOLD FOR OVER AN HOUR WHILE THE "CUSTOMER SERVICE REP" TRIED TO FIND A SUPERVISOR SO THEY COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, HE FINALLY GOT BACK ON THE PHONE AND SAID I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP HOLDING, I THEN DEMANDED TO SPEAK TO A GMC REPRESENTATIVE IN THE STATES, WHILE ON HOLD FOR ANOTHER HALF HOUR HE RETURNED AND SAID I WOULD BE CONTACTED IN 24 HOURS BY A USA REP. AFTER THREE HOURS WAITING FOR MY CAR IT WAS FINALLY RELEASED TO ME FREE OF CHARGE, ( FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS) BUT STILL NOT FIXED. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM AN AMERICAN GMC REP, A FEW DAYS LATER AND WHILE THEY DANCED AROUND THE ISSUE AND WHO SHOULD FIX IT, THEY KEPT CALLING ME BACK TO SEE IF I FOUND A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED, I TRIED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH INDICATED THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP, I AM NOW STUCK WITH WHAT IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT ON MY $30,000 DOLLAR FAMILY CAR! I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR IT'S SAFETY AND COMFORT AND NOW I'M AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN IT, CAN'T TRADE IT IN, CAN'T SELL IT AND NO ONE WILL FIX THIS RE-CALL ISSUE. *TR

THE TAIL GATE AND THE TAIL GATE WINDOW WERE JAMMED SHUT AND WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR LATCHES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE KEYLESS REMOTE ALSO FAILED TO OPEN THE TAIL GATE.
