2002 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. PARKING BRAKE NO LONGER HOLDS VEHICLE IN PLACE. DEALER CLAIMS LININGS WORE PREMATURELY. PARTS WERE NOT IN STOCK, SO WAITING FOR REPAIR. VERY SIMILAR TO PARKING BRAKE RECALL ON 2001 GMC SIERRA PICKUP RECALL #05V161000. *NM

ABS PROBLEM ON A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. LOW SPEED ABS COMING ON EVERY TIME BRAKE PEDAL IS USED UNDER 15 MPH. GMC RECALLED PROBLEM BUT ONLY IN EASTERN STATES, I LIVE IN UTAH WHICH IS NOT COVERED IN RECALL. *NM

THE BRAKES ON MY CAR ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY. I ALMOST RAN INTO MY GARAGE. WHEN I AM PULLING UP. ABOUT TO MAKE A STOP. THE BRAKES GO OUT. *JB

BOTH HEATED REARVIEW MIRRORS CRACK SIDE NEXT TO CAR AT HEATING ELEMENT AND THEN THE CRACK MOVES ACROSS THE MIRROR. *NM

HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES. THEY DO NOT STOP PROPERLY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO WORK OR NOT. MY WIFE HAS ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS ON THE FREEWAY APPLIED THE BRAKES QUICKLY AND THE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THANK GOD THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY LANE WHERE SHE SWERVED OUT TO. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME. WE ARE TOLD THAT YOU DO NOT PUMP THE BRAKES ON AN ABS BRAKING SYSTEM, WELL MY WIFE CAME HOME AND TOLD ME BY PUMPING THE PEDAL THE BRAKES SEEM TO STOP A LITTLE BETTER. NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT IS TELLING YOU??? I HAVE BEEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS FOR OVER 40 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, AND SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME IN ON A HOOK AND OR WAS NOT IN A ACCIDENT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GMC AGAIN, AND I AM LETTING EVERYONE KNOW THIS. HOPE YOU CAN HELP OR HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN THIS MATTER. MANNY. *NM

DURING ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION LURCH AND SLIP OCCURRED CAUSING ENGINE TO OVER-REV RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF THIRD GEAR, FORTH GEAR, AND REVERSE. CAUSE WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE INSIDE TRANSMISSION @ ONLY 46K MILES. TRANSMISSION RE-BUILD WAS NECESSARY. *NM

I HAVE A 2002 GMC YUKON. IT HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY TRIED TO GET IT INSPECTED. IT FAILED BECAUSE OF THE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL GM PRODUCTS THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE TOLD ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT HAS BEEN RE-DESIGNED. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS NOT RE-CALLED BEAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISUE.(ALTHOUGH I COULD NOT GET A SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE OF IT). I AGREED WITH THE DEALER TO PAY 50% OF THE COST TO FIX IT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED I NOTICED ON THE RECEIPT, AND THE CASHIER ACKNOWLEDED IT, THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CALLED WANTING TO COLLECT $150.00 FOR THE REPAIRS. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND E-MAIL ME THE RESULTS.

DT: THE STEERING IS HAVING A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TURNING, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO EVEN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR 6 MONTHS. OWNER TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WAS INFORMED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN #000235003G STATED THAT STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, OWNER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REPAIR FROM GM. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A BROAD PROBLEM THAT THERE WAS A WAITING LIST TO GET THE PART. CONSUMER THOUGHT THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN , AND THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED DUE TO THE FEAR OF SAFETY ISSUES FOR THE OWNER AND HER CHILDREN. THE OWNER TALKED TO GM, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO HELP FOR CONSUMER, AND SHE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL. OWNER TOOK CAR TO HER MECHANIC FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED TEMPORARY FIX KIT SO CONSUMERS COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY COULD GET THE PARTS MANUFACTURED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A WAITING LIST.*AK

SEVERAL INSTANCES OF VEHICAL STALLING, NOT STARTING OR RUNNIONG PROPERLY DUE TO FUEL PUMP

DT: THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THERE ARE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE GMC. THE WATER PUMP WAS OUT, THE RADIO HAS QUIT WORKING 5 TIMES, AND HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES, THE WINDOWS ON THE PASSENGER QUIT, AND THE REGULATOR WAS REPLACED 4 TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 35,000 MILES. *AK
