BRAKE HOSE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT DEVELOPED PINHOLE LEAK DUE TO HEAVY RUST. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE BLEEDER SCREWS RUSTED SOLID- CAN'T BLEED LINES AFTER REPAIRS. IT APPEARS THAT INFERIOR QUALITY METAL BRAKE LINES WERE USED THAT RUST EASILY. THIS IS A VERY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND GM NEEDS TO HELD ACCOUNTABLE, AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AS VERY SERIOUS CRASHES MAY OCCUR. *TR

2004 GMC YUKON XL: WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS THIS VEHICLE WILL HAVE A WARNING LIGHT COME ON THAT SAYS "REDUCED ENGINE SPEED" THEN IT SHUTS DOWN TO 30 MPH INSTANTLY. THERE IS NO TIME FOR REACTION. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED OVER 50 TIMES! A FEW OF THE TIMES ALMOST RESULTED IN FATAL CONSEQUENCES IN HIGH TRAFFIC. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND THE NEXT DAY HAD THE SAME ISSUE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS NOW THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY. REPLACED THE ASSEMBLY AND TWO DAYS LATER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.CONTACTED GMC BY PHONE AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WASN'T ON THE SAFETY RECALL LIST. I REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE OR HELP BEFORE IT COSTS MY WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN THEIR LIVES! *TR

DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. GMC DEALER CHARGED ME $925.33 AND HAD MY TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL.

2004 GMC YUKON XL. GAS GAUGE OFTEN READS INCORRECTLY, MANY TIMES POINTING WAY PAST FULL OR STRAIGHT DOWN. THE VOLT METER HAS BEGUN READING INCORRECTLY, SHOWING IN EXCESS OF 20 VOLTS WHEN DRIVING AND IN EXCESS OF 16 VOLTS WHEN STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE OFF (KEY ON). THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STARTED TO READ INCORRECTLY OFTEN READING 0-10 MPH WHEN TRAVELING AT 30-40 MPH (GAUGED BY TRAFFIC). GM DID LOOK AT FUEL GAUGE ISSUE 2 YEARS AGO, BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE TOO HAVE HAD THE SPEEDOMETER ACTING UP. USUALLY AROUND 100KM. SOME DAYS IT WORKS BUT LATELY MOST DAYS IT DOES NOT WORK. GOING TO GET A NEW CABLE FOR IT TO SEE IF IT WILL CHANGE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, GAS PUMP KEEPS CLICKING OFF AS IF THE TANK IS FULL. ALTHOUGH, THE FILLING PROCESS HAS JUST STARTED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE.. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2004 GMC YUKON XL1500. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP AND WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES UNEXPECTEDLY, AND THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WARNING "TRACTION ACTIVE" IS GIVEN. THE PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY RANDOM, HOWEVER IT OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME NOW. THE PROBLEM PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN OTHER VEHICLES ARE AROUND, AS THE SUDDEN SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE, DUE TO THE ABS ENGAGEMENT, FOLLOWED BY A LURCH FORWARD AFTER THE ABS RELEASES COULD CAUSE VEHICLE COLLISIONS. *TR

SHAFT INTERNAL TO POWER STEERING PUMP BROKE CAUSING SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES WERE FOUND DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH. *TR
