2004 GMC Yukon Denali

MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.WHEN THEY WENT TO EXIT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.AFTER I GOT IT HOME I FOLLOWED THE BRAKE FLUID TRAIL INTO MY GARAGE.HAD IT INSPECTED BY MY MECHANIC AND TWO OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND THE OTHERS WERE ON THERE WAY TO FAILURE ALSO.TOO BIG OF A JOB FOR HIM SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE CHEVROLET DEALER FOR NEXT WEEK AT A PRICE OF AROUND $1300 AS QUOTED.THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE IS A REPAIR KIT FOR THIS BECAUSE OF SO MANY CASES OF PREMATURE RUST FAILURE BUT GM WILL NOT INCUR ANY OF THE COSTS OR ADMIT A SAFETY ISSUE.THE OUTRAGEOUS COST OF THE FIX IS ONE THING BUT THE SAFETY OF MANY IS TOTALLY ANOTHER. *TR

UPON START UP OF VEHICLE, A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UPON INSPECTION, FOUND THAT THE LEFT REAR EXHAUST BOLT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD BROKEN OFF CAUSING EXHAUST LEAK. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE GM 6.0 LITER AND OTHER ENGINES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND ALSO CAUSES THE EMISSIONS CONTROLS OF THE ENGINE TO BE INOPERABLE. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES CAN AND DO INCLUDE; CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT FAILURE. *TR

MY SON AND I WERE GOING NORTH ON RT 1 IN REHOBOTH BEACH AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND SMELLED GAS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND GAS WAS LEAKING FAST FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. TOOK IT STRAIGHT UP TO MY MECHANIC [XXX] AT EMERY CHASSISWORKS AND LEFT IT FOR HIM TO CHECK. HE FOUND THE METAL GAS PUMP HAS RUSTED OUT ON TOP AND WAS PUMPING GAS ALL OVER. .HE SAID HE ONLY FOUND ONE OTHER YUKON WITH THAT PROBLEM. ALL THE OTHERS HAD A PLASTIC TOP (THAT COULD NOT RUST). THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (ANY CIGARETTE, SPARK, ETC.) AND WE WERE BLOWN UP. WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THE GAS PUMP ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK WITH A PLASTIC TOP THAT DOESN'T RUST. VERY DANGEROUS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SPRING OF 2013 I LOST MY BRAKES ,LINES AND CONNECTORS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT (REPLACED).JULY 2013 MY FULL TANK OF GAS POURED OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND.SENDING UNIT ,FEED LINE, RETURN LINE TOTALLY ROTTED AND BLEW OUT.BUT THE PUMP STILL WORKED. LOL (ALL REPLACED).I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH 70000 MILES ON IT AT 5 YEARS OLD.FROM A VOLVO DEALERSHIP.I ONLY PUT 10000 MILES ON IT IN APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS.I KEEP IT WELL MAINTAINED AND CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3000 MILES.WHATS NEXT? I HAVE DRIVEN TRUCKS FOR 35 YEARS NOW.NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE.WHAT GIVES WITH THESE CRAPPY MADE PARTS!!!!! .MAKE THEM IN THE U.S.A.!!!!..WHO ARE THE ENGINEERS DESIGNING THIS VEHICLES.THY MAKE IT HARD FOR THE MECHANICS TO WORK ON WITHOUT HAVING TO DISASSEMBLE EVERYTHING TO GET TO THE REPAIR THATS NEEDED! HEADACHE FOR THEM AND $$$$$ UNNECESSARY UNSAFE FOR US!!

THE "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED" SENSOR COMES ON FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND MY VEHICLE WON'T GO FASTER THAN 5MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS ONLY UPON START UP OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES, IF I WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR, IT'LL START JUST FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I FIRST BROUGHT IT INTO HENDRICK CHEVROLET ON 10/15/12. THEY CHARGED ME ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE "APP SENSOR ASSEMBLY". THEN I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN ON 11/6/12 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE "CONNECTOR AT THE THROTTLE BODY" AND CHARGED ME $223.09. THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. I THEN BROUGHT IT BACK ON 12/20/12 WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE WON'T TURN OFF AS A RESULT OF THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER-STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED WARNING. THEY SIMPLY RESET THE WARNING AND THAT WAS IT. TIL THIS DAY, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER/STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED. THIS HAS BECOME A CONSTANT ISSUE AND THORN ON MY SIDE AND EACH TIME I BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY ALWAYS TELL ME IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. I HAVE READ MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD. WHY HAVEN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS??? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WOULD ENGAGE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME DISABLED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. HE ALSO ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL ABNORMALLY TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TRACTION CONTROL LITE CAME ON IN DASH THEN POWER TO SUV WAS LOST THEN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE READ OUT STATED "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED " THEN " REDUCED ENGINE SPEED" MESSAGE APPEARED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE BUT NEARLY GOT REARENDED HIT BY SEMI. ENGINE WOULD RUN ONLY AT IDLE SPEED. AFTER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND WAITING MINUTE OR TWO THEN RESTARTING IT RAN FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN. SPEEDS VARY 70,55,40 MPH IT DOESN'T MATTER. AFTER CALLING DIFFERENT GMC DEALERS ABOUT PROBLEM THEY ACT LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THEY NEVER HEARD OF."BULL**** !!!!. ITS THE SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS GMC OWNERS ARE FACING ON THE INTERNET. GMC CUSTOMERS HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WITH NO PROBLEMS SOLVED. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS HOOK YOU UP TO ELECTRONIC MACHINE AND OVERCHARGE YOU FOR THE SAME THING AUTOZONE ,ETC. BUSINESSES WILL DO FOR FREE. I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEM TO BE PARTS REPLACERS . GMC SHOULD KNOW THE EXACT PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE OR FAMILY IS GOING TO GET HURT BADLY IF GMC DOESN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY KNOW THEY HAVE. *TR

WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, THE "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED" SENSOR COMES ON FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND MY VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THE 4-5 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED AS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED A HUB THAT MY MECHANIC SAID WAS CAUSING A "TRACTION CONTROL" PROBLEM FROM EARLIER. I AM READING ONLINE ALL OF THE NIGHTMARES AND I UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP TRYING TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT GMC IS CLEARLY AWARE OF. I HAVE 5 KIDS AND FREQUENTLY DRIVE THEM AROUND AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT AND I THINK GMC SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
