GMC Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. "SERVICE AIRBAG" KEEPS INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYING ON THE VEHICLE DISPLAY. CONTACTED MIDWAY CHEVROLET IN PHOENIX AZ WHO CONFIRMED THE RECALL AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. NHTSA RECALL NOTICE INDICATES THAT GM HAD UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO COMPLETE ITS INVESTIGATION, AND THE RECALL IS STILL INCOMPLETE WITH NO REMEDY AVAILABLE IN 2019.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES AND GOES, TOOK TO MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED WITH P0017 CODE. CAM SHAFT PROBLEM, MECHANIC PUT NEW PART ON AND SERVICE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THE PROBLEM NOW IS TIMING CHAIN AND THEN GET A NEW ENGINE ON A CAR THAT HAS APPROX 140,000 MILES. THE CAR EXPERIENCES A JITTER WHILE DRIVING AND WON'T ACCELERATE OR LAGS WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED.

2015 GMC YUKON SLE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PRESSURE BOOMING SENSATION WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. *LD *TR

OUR YUKON ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WILL JUST DISPLAY REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SPEED WILL DECREASE RAPIDLY. I HAVE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF REMOVED KEY WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT MAY RUN FINE OR MAY JUST CONTINUE TO HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. BETWEEN THE TOW BILLS AND SHOP FEES I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN THE TRUCK IS WORTH. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND SPENT OVER 5K FOR THEM TO STATE THE CAN NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY SAY THERE ARE NO CODES. THEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT RUN NORMAL FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THERE IS NO PATTERN. IT HAS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND THEREFORE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES OCCURS. MAKING THIS VERY DANGEROUS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 80 MPH. THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I AM NOT SURE WHY GMC HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I SAW SEVERAL OTHER BLOGS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I LOVED MY TRUCK UP UNTIL THESE ISSUES STARTED, PREVIOUS TO THIS THE TRUCK HAD A PARASITIC DRAW THAT AFTER 3 YEARS MY BROTHER FIGURED OUT NOT GM OR ANY OTHER MECHANIC. THAT WAS THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODULE FOR THOSE THAT MAY BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IS THERE A WAY TO ENCOURAGE GM TO DO A RECALL? I NOW HAVE A USELESS TRUCK SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

FAULTY BACK TAIL LIGHTS. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY FAILS WITH THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS BEING OUT DUE TO FAULTY SOLDIERING AND PART. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. GM WILL NOT REPLACE.

AT LOW SPEED AND ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, THE BRAKES HAVE SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AND IT REQUIRED A LOT OF BRAKE PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE, MY GARAGE, ETC. IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO. WENT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AT A COST OF APPROX $600.

BRAKES LOOSE PRESSURE, WHEN PRESSED ON UPHILL/DOWN HILL,IN REVERSE. AC HOSE FROM CONDENSER TO COMPRESSOR IS FAULTY LEAK OUT ALL FLUID

WHILE DRIVING ENCOUNTERING A DANGEROUS LOSS OF POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY ESPECIALLY DURING BRAKING (LOW ENGINE REVS). STEERING APPEARS TO LOCK AND BIND. DEALER STATES FAILURE OF POWERSTEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION GEAR. THIS IS 2ND TIME. POWER STEERING FIRST FAILED AT 36,000 MILES REQUIRING FULL RACK AND PUMP REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, AT 100,000 MILES PUMP FAILS AGAIN AND REQUIRES PUMP, SEAL AND FULL RACK AND GEAR REPLACEMENT. CAR IS NOT SAFE. SERVICE BULLETIN #14329A ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM WITH PUMP AND COVERS PUMP AND GEAR *SEAL* BUT NOT RACK AND PINION GEAR. RACK FAILURE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL.

VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE TRUCK WHILE GOING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED 5 TO 10 MPH. HAD TO FORCEFULLY APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET IT TO STOP STILL REQUIRED MORE STOPPING DISTANCE. BRAKES DID NOT BECOME FULLY FUNCTIONAL UNTIL AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUTTING THE VEHICLE DOWN WAITING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND BRAKE WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS EVENT OCCURED AT APPROXIMATELY 46,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FOLLOWING DAY BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER AND VERIFIED THAT THE TRUCK HAS A BRAKING PROBLEM FOUND A LEAKING BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER.
