2001 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

FAILURE OF ABS MODULE - 2001 GMC YUKON XL 1500 PUMP MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. *JB

I OPENED BACK REAR LIFT GLASS AND IT MADE A VERY STRANGE NOISE. I CLOSED IT THEN NOTICED IT WAS NOT SITTING STRAIGHT SO I OPENED IT AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE IT AGAIN IT WOULD NOT LOCK AND THEN ONE HINGE HOLDING THE GLASS ON JUST BROKE AND THEN THE GLASS WAS ONLY HELD ON BY ONE HINGE AND WAS COMPLETELY CROOKED. I CONTACTED GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID $1,100.00 REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAD TO REPAIR THE WHOLE GLASS PLUS THE HINGES. I FOUND OUT THAT A COUPLE OTHER PEOPLE IN MY SMALL AREA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEN I FOUND SOMEWHERE ON THIS WEBSITE THERE HAD BEEN 3 MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. WHEN I SPOKE WITH GMC THEY SAID IT WASN'T ANYTHING I DID AND IT WASN'T DUE FROM WEAR AND TEAR THAT IT JUST BROKE. APPARENTLY THE PART THAT BROKE ON MINE WAS THE WELDING CAME OFF. I THINK IF AN INVESTIGATION IS STARTED THAT GMC WILL FIND OUT THERE ARE A LOT MORE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED A PUDDLE OF FUEL HAD LEAKED FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THE LEAK CAME FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V155000, REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

FIRST THERE WAS A TIRE BLOWOUT, TIRE SEPARATED WITH 11/32 THREAD LEFT. SECOND AT LEAST 1 SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD. THIRD NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF. FOURTH THE ROOF CAVED IN LIKE A "V" SHAPE IN THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT, BY THE WINDSHIELD. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 GMC YUKON AND IT CAME WITH FIRESTONE STEELTEX AT TIRES LT 245/75R 16. THE TIRE'S DOT # IS VN11 BAC 4700. I WAS GOING SOUTH ON HWY 101 AND THE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIBRATE. BEFORE, I COULD PULL OVER THE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE CORE AND WAS FLYING ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. THE CORE STILL HELD AIR AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITH OUT ANY INCIDENTS. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 1 MILE TO THE NEXT EXIT WHERE I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE THE TIRE AND EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MINOR BODY DAMAGE WHERE THE TREAD HIT THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL WELL (DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT). I HAVE SENT THE CORE TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY SUSTAINED HIGH PRESSURE IN THE TIRE. I DISAGREE WITH THIS BECAUSE ALL 4 TIRES HAD EVEN TREADS WITH OUT ANY BALD AREAS IN THE MIDDLE AND THE TIRE PRESS WAS CHECKED RIGHT BEFORE MY TRIP. WHEN I REPLACED THE 4 TIRES, THE SALESMAN LOOK AT THE OTHER 3 AND HE SAID THAT THEY WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THEY STILL HAVE THE CORE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXAMINE IT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED DUE TO BINDING. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE PUMP BINDING. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND BUMPY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE SHAFT ON THE POWER STEERING UNIT HAD DETACHED. THE POWER STEERING UNIT WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL KICKS BACK AT A LOW SPEEDS, PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM STOPPING CORRECTLY, CAUSING A EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE, WHICH HAS CREATED A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED AND HAS HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS ACQUIRED. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS, AS SHOWN ON CARFAX.COM, CAUSING THE BRAKE FAILURE.

MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL 1500 SLT PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS 66000 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THE PARKING BRAKE FOOT LEVER GOES TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT HOLD AT ALL. THE PARKING BRAKE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO ME BY A CHEVY/GMC DEALER DURING MY LATEST STATE VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER SAYS HE NEVER USED THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAVE NEVER USED THE PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE IT IS NOT NEEDED IN OUR FLAT TERRAIN. ACCORDING TO REPAIR SHOPS AND THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MANY OS THESE VEHICLES. YOU MAY ALREADY BE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM, BUT I SHOW NO INFORMATION ON YOUR WEB SITE. I AM INFORMING YOU OF THIS TO PERHAPS PREVENT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GRATEFUL. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BATTERY LEAKED ACID CAUSING THE POSITIVE CABLE TO BECOME CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE BATTERY AND CABLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY 10:00 P.M CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, $966.00 THIS IS THE 2ND TIME FIRST 2004 GAS GAUGE WAS NOT MARKING LEVELS DEALER SAID "BLOWN FUSE" ? NOW THIS. THEY WILL NOT COVER UNDER RECALL BECAUSE ONLY "MODULE RESERVOIR" IS IN THE RECALL WHO'S TO SAY THE MODULE RESERVOIR DEFECT ISN'T WHAT CAUSED (DISABLED) THE FUEL PUMP. MAKING IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE TO FUEL PUMP. *NM
