SINCE FIRST PURCHASE, THE EVER PRESENT CONCERNS, INHERENT WITH OUR GENERAL MOTORS GMC YUKON XL, HAVE GROWN; TO WHEREBY, THEY ARE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND WELL-BEING CONCERNS: A) THE SQUEAKING, CLUNKING, LOCKING STEERING, WHEN TURNING: SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 01863. THE NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: 10006616. B) THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN FULLY STOPPED, AT TIMES, PRESSES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. C) THE AIR CONDITIONER THAT EVER EMITS A MOLDY SMELL. D) THE DRIVER SIDE AIR CONDITIONER, AT TIMES, BLOWS HOT, WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD. E) THE EVER PRESENT INTERIOR MOLDY SMELL. F) THE DRIVER SIDE TRIM PANEL HAS DROPPED DOWN; TO WHEREBY, ANY OUTSIDE, REARVIEW MIRROR ADJUSTMENTS ARE ALMOST AN IMPOSSIBILITY, AND THE DOOR LOCKS ARE DIFFICULT TO SECURELY OPERATE. G) THE INOPERATIVE, KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE. G) THE DASH LIGHTS, AT TIMES, ARE INOPERATIVE. H) SINCE FIRST PURCHASE, THREE (3) NEW BATTERIES HAVE BEEN PURCHASED, TWO (2), WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. SINCE FIRST PURCHASE, WE HAVE BEEN IGNORED, LED ON, AND MISLED WHICH CREATED TIME EXPIRATION. SINCE THE BEGINNING, WITH THE EVER PRESENT CONCERNS, WE QUESTIONED THE BUILD QUALITY OF OUR GENERAL MOTORS GMC YUKON XL, WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE, AT ALL. SAFETY, SECURITY, AND WELL-BEING CONCERNS SHOULD NEITHER HAVE A TIME LIMIT NOR CONSTRAINTS. *TR

MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS STUCK AT 10MPH FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. IT WENT BACK DOWN TO ZERO BUT WOULD NOT REGISTER PROPERLY AFTER THAT. IT IS PRESENTLY STUCK AT 120MPH EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. I DID CONTACT GM AN THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT IN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICTS AND IT WOULD BE COVERED ONLY IF IT WAS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THAT WAS BAD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE ABOVE 10 MPH. SHE ADDED OIL TO THE ENGINE AND PLANS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 140,200.

MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY DIED THREE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME WAS JULY 2004, THE SECOND TIME WAS EARLY OCT 2005 AND THE LAST TIME WAS JAN 19, 05. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES AT THREE VERY DIFFERENT ALTITUDES. WHEN THE CAR DIES I HAVE NO BRAKES, POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER A WHILE. THE FIRST TIME IT DIED, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING OFF A CLIFF ON A PASS. THE LAST TWO TIMES WERE ON BUSY INTERSTATES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO CANNOT FIX IT. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC DURING THIS ENTIRE PERIOD OF EPISODES, NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ARE VERY NICE BUT IT IS ONLY LIP SERVICE. I FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON A GMC SERVICE BULLETIN DOCUMENT ID#1530787. IT DESCRIBES MY PROBLEMS EXACTLY. IT PARROTS WHAT I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN. I LIKE MY CAR AND JUST WANT IT FIXED. I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF AND OR OTHERS IF I CANNOT CONTROL THE CAR WHEN IT DIES. I SAVED MY MONEY AND PAID CASH FOR THIS CAR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. AND, I CANNOT SELL THIS CAR AS I WOULD NEED TO DISCLOSE ITS DEFECT. SO, I AM IN NEED OF HELP TO GET IT REPAIRED. THANKS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON A 102 DEGREE DAY, MY FUEL TANK WAS AT 1/2 FULL. THE ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION, MAKING IT DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. WHEN I SLOWED TO 20 MPH AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I LOST ALL POWER OF STEERING AND BRAKES. I EXPERIENCED "VAPOR LOCK" ACCORDING TO THE GM CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WHO EVALUATED MY PROBLEM THE FOLLOWING DAY (UNDER A COOL ENGINE CONDITION).HE FOUND NO DEFECTS WITH A COOL ENGINE ON A 60 DEGREE MORNING.
