2003 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

WIFE WAS DRIVING TRUCK AT APPROX 30 MPH WHEN DIC ILLUMINATED WITH SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM MESSAGE. SHE THEN PRESSED THE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. SHE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE WHICH WOULD NOT STOP FROM HITTING ANYTHING/ANYONE. ONLY AFTER PUMPING THE PEDAL DID THE TRUCK STOP. UPON INSPECTION THE BRAKE LINES HAVE ROTTED/CORRODED ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED NOW, AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. *TR

FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITY CONTROL / REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE PROBLEM CAN OCCUR ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING. I MUST STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO RESET BEFORE I CAN CONTINUE. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS AT THE DEALER, THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO REPAIR SHOPS AND SPENDING NEARLY $2000 ON REPAIRS IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO ADDRESSED AS A FAILURE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION BY G.M. THE VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. *LN

THE MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN ON MY 2003 GMC YUKON XL. PLEASE SEE THIS VIDEO FOR A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0YG6WLBNZGI THIS DEFECTIVE PART (MANIFOLD BOLTS) AFFECTS NUMEROUS GMC/CHEVY VEHICLES WITH V8 ENGINES. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A PRODUCT RECALL. I WAS INFORMED OF THIS CONDITION WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE OF A NON-RELATED ISSUE. I WAS QUOTED OVER $500 TO DRILL OUT THESE BOLTS AND REPLACE THEM. THE DEALER MENTIONED NOT REPLACING THESE COULD LEAD TO EMISSIONS LEAKS AND THE POSSIBLE NEED TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD ITSELF. THIS PROBLEM CAN ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AS AN EXHAUST LEAK CAN TRIGGER A TEMPERATURE SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE LOCATED NEAR THE MANIFOLD BOLT. UPDATED IVOQ 09/01/10 *TR
