2001 GMC YUKON XL 1500 Complaints

A SPRING FROM A LARGE VEHICLE ON 20TH STREET ENSLEY EXIT GOT INBEDED IN MY TIRE LAST NIGHT 1/17/17 AT ABOUT 7:50PM. WHICH MADE A BIG HOLE AND I AM IN NEED OF A TIRE. I CALLED AAA AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED BECAUSE OF HOW FAST AIR CAME OUT AND ALDOT STOPPED TO HELP BUT HAD NO PLUGS. SO IT WAS TOWED

WHILE OPENING MY REAR LIFTGATE GLASS THE GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE HINGE HOLDING IT IN PLACE. THIS CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE ONLY THING KEEPING MY PASSEGNER COMPARTMENT SAFE WAS THE GLASS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC YUKON XL 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ON 04/01/2015 WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK. I PULLED OVER AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER ERROR WAS ILLUMINATED. I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK AND RESTARTED IT, I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT OTHER INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY, IT DID IT AGAIN WHILE ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP. MY MECHANIC NARROWED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR LOCATED ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS REPLACED, BUT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY AS WELL. WHILE DOING RESEARCH ON THIS, I RAN ACROSS A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN NEWER VEHICLES. WHY HASN'T GM RECALLED THIS? DO PEOPLE HAVE TO GET HURT FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?

IN JUNE OF 2010 MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND FIXED 700.00. THEN IN JULY OF 2011 THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AGAIN, SAME THING HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND FIXED AT THE SAME SHOP ANOTHER 700.00. THEN AGAIN IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, TOWED TO SAME SHOP AND SAME PRICE. NOW HERE WE ARE 2014 AND MY FUEL PUMP JUST WENT OUT FOR THE FOURTH TIME. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MY HUB BEARING REPLACED AND MY WHEEL ALMOST FELL OFF. JUST THIS PAST FEBRUARY I HAD A GAS LEAK FROM THE LINE AND A WHOLE TANK OF GAS WAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I'M GLAD I JUST FOUND OUT DUE TO LOOKING ONLINE ABOUT ALL THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. NOW MY QUESTION IS WHO'S GOING TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP THIS TIME AND MAKE SURE I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM ANYMORE. *TR

APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP IN A PARKING LOT. BRAKE PEDAL HELD BRIEFLY THEN WENT TO THE FLOOR. MINIMAL STOPPING ABILITY AT THAT POINT. NARROWLY MISSED A SUBURBAN WHICH BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF ME. ALL BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY CORRODED. REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF ALL LINES. *TR

A RUSTED REAR BRAKE LINE BURST RESULTING IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. *TR

I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN ON THE BELT PARKWAY AND WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. FIGURING I MAY HAVE SOME BRAKES, I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AGAIN. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN A SICKENING FEELING THAT I WOULD REAR-END SOMEONE. TO SLOW DOWN, I DROPPED THE GEAR SHIFTER TO LOWER DRIVE POSITIONS AND PUT ON THE 4-WAY FLASHERS. UPON EXITING THE PARKWAY, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS AHEAD OF ME AND THERE WAS AN UPHILL GRADE TO SLOW ME. VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM REVEALED HYDRAULIC FLUID SOAKING THE AREA OF THE REAR DIFERENTIAL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. A HARD STEEL BRAKE LINE WAS SEVERLY RUSTED AND FRAGILE TO THE POINT OF RUPTURE. THERE WAS STILL SOME FLUID IN THE MASTER BRAKE RESERVOIR. *TR

I NOTICED WET SPOTS ON THE ROAD UNDER THE TRUCK NEAR THE LEFT REAR WHEEL AFTER STOPPING. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE CORRODED IN MOST PLACES. THERE IS CURRENTLY A LEAK IN THE FEED LINE RUNNING TO THE BACK BRAKES AT A POINT NEAR THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE LINES LOOK AS IF THEY COULD FAIL IN MOST PLACES. CURRENTLY THE TRUCK IS NOTS DRIVABLE UNTIL THE BRAKE LINES ARE REPLACED. WE HAVE HAD OTHER NUMEROUS BRAKE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. *JS
