2000 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HAVING RECALL WORK COMPLETED UNDER RECALL 05V155000 CONCERNING THE FUEL SYSTEM, THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION HOSE WAS BROKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE BECAUSE THE BROKEN PART IS NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS NOW EMITTING FUMES INSIDE THE CONTACT'S GARAGE WHERE THE VEHICLE IS BEING STORED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. UPDATED 02/28/06. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE GOING 65MPH A LOUD RACING NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE TRANSMISSION, THE GEARS SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE GRINDING, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED; THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THE NOISES STARTED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP ONCE AGAIN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION INSPECTED. UPON INSPECTION THE TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. NO REPAIRS MADE AT THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED.

I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA IN 2005 FOR MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATING EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN TO STOP. GMC SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE IN 2005 AND I BROUGHT MY YUKON XL IN TO FIX IT . THEY FIXED IT ,BUT NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN . *NM

MY 2000 YUKON XL PARKING BRAKE WORE OUT PRE-MATURELY, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE OWNER AND THE PUBLIC. *JB

MY GMC YUKON XL HAS BRAKING AND FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS, I HAVE HAD 1 ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE YUKONS BRAKES DEACTIVATING WHILE HITTING A SMALL BUMP ON THE STREET WHILE TRYING TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND ALL THEY SAID IS THEY WOULD OFFER ME A 1,000 REBATE ON THE NEXT PURCHASE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH THEY ADVERTISED THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ON ("CNN") ALONG WITH THE OTHER DEFECTS. THERE HAS BEEN OTHER HIDDEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROPERLY TELL OR NOTIFY ME. *JB

I SPOKE WITH A LARRY AT THE NHTSA BACK IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. FAXED HIM A COPY OF THE BILL I HAD FOR THE POWER STEERING IN MY YUKON XL SAYS THERE WAS GOING TO BE MORE INVESTIGATING AND THIS RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING MAY BE EXPANDED TO MY TRUCK..THE 1500 SERIES BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. JUST A FUNNY THING THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THE POWER STEERING CUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN, BUT IT DOESN'T CONCERN THE 1500. *NM

FIRST PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING, FOUND OUT IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PART FOR MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH GM AND MY AUTO PART STORE THERE IS A SHORTAGE AND THE AUTO PART STORE SAYS ALOT OF GM OWNERS HAVE BEEN REQUESTING THAT PART. STILL WAITING AND DRIVER WINDOW IS STARTING TO GO. THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM. PLEASE CHECK INTO. *NM

ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL, A COMPUTER MODULE FOR THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND GOES OUT CAUSING A SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR TO STAY ON RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN. THE FUSE FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MUST BE REMOVED, THUS DISABLING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM DYING. THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE ON MY VEHICLE AND ALSO TO MANY OTHERS WITH 1999-2002 YUKONS. GMC KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. *NM

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES START ACTIVATING AT SLOW SPEEDS. REPORTED TO DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX. HAS NOT CAUSED A CRASH OR INJURY YET. *JB

OUR GAS GAUGE ON OUR 2000 GMC YUKON COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. TOOK IT IN THINKING IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BROKEN. THE PROBLEM THAT COST US A LOT OF MONEY WAS THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FIRST, WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN ON A CAR THIS NEW WITH ONLY AROUND 50,000 MILES AND SECOND, WHY PUT THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE GAS TANK SO THAT IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO FIX? *JB
