1997 GMC Yukon

CONTINOUS ENGINE RAP AND AND NOISES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM SINCE FIRST OIL CHANGE. NOW AFTER PROMISES IN WRITTING FROM GMC, GMC SAYS THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS DOCUMENTED NUMEROUS TIMES DURING THE COURSE OF THE WARRANTY AND NEVER FIXED CORRECTLY. I FEEL THAT AFTER THIS INCIDENT GMC DOES NOT STAND BEHIND NOT ONLY THEIR PRODUCT BUT THEIR WORD. GMC'S FINAL WORD IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS NEVER CORRECTED DURING WARRANTY THEY HAVE GOT ME PAST THE WARRANTY AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT WE HEARD A ROAR IN THE REAR END. THE REAR END WAS REPLACE UNDER THE 3YR/36000MILE WARRANTY. SOON AFTER THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. JUST RECENTLY WE TOOK A TRIP AND TOWED OUR 18FT. SKI BOAT WITH US. WHEN WE RETURNED MY WIFE NOTICED A PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. WE HAD NO REVERSE AND THAT PROVED TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. WE CONTACED THE CLOSEST DEALRER TO US: MIKE MORGAN SHREVEPORT, LA. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WERE SO BACKED UP WITH TRANMISSION PROBLEMS THAT IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THEY COULD PICK UP THE TRUCK TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. THEN THEY WOULD TELL ME WHAT THEY THOUGHT. WELL, I PAID $25,000 FOR A VEHICLE TO SIT WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THEY THINK I WILL LET IT SIT WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WALK!!! I DON'T THINK SO! DURING THE LAST OF JULY, MY BROTHER AND LAW AND I REPLACE THE STARTER ON THIS SAME TRUCK TO THE TUNE OF $250.00 YESTERDAY I FOUND A WATER PUMP LEAK AND WAS TOLD THAT WOULD COST ME AROUND $200.00 TO REPAIR. OH YES, THE TRANSMISSION COST ME $1,400.00 TO REPAIR. AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM HAVING A TON OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. GM HAS THUMBED THEIR NOSE AT ME AND MORE OR LESS SAID "TOUGH LUCK"! WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT IS FAIR. THE TRANSMISSION IS WHAT REALLY UPSET ME. I PAID EXTRA TO HAVE TOWING PACKAGE ON THIS TRUCK AND WE PULLED A BOAT 1 TIME AND THIS HAPPENS. I CAN'T BELEIVE THAT THIS TRUCK CAN'T GET AT LEAST 100,000 MILES ON THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. I ALSO HAVE A BOSS THAT OWNS A 1999 SUBURBAN THAT HAD THE TRANMISSION FAIL ON HIM THIS LAST FRIDAY. HIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 54,000 MILES. WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, I THINK GM HAS A PROBLEM!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO!

ENGINE: A SPARK KNOCK HAS EXISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED EVENTUALLY GETTING TO THE POINT THAT IS WAS VERY NOTICEABLE EVEN AT 60 MPH ON LEVEL GROUND, CONTINUALLY. DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL COMPUTER COMPONENTS AND EVENTUALLY SERVICE THE HEADS AND INTAKE BY REMOVING AND CLEANING CARBON. 3,000 MILES LATER THE PROBLEM IS BEGINNING AGAIN. GAS MILEAGE HAS SUFFERED TO 3 MPG LESS THAN WHEN ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. THE DRIVERS SEAT BASE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO LOOSNESS. A/C IDLER BELT TENSIONER REPLACED. POWER STEERING HOSE LEAKED. POSER STEERING CONTROL WOULD BE LOST IN RIGHT TURNS AND VALVING HAD TO BE REPLACED. A/C DOES NOT COOL ADEQUATELY AFTER ENGINE WAS LAST SERVICED BY REMOVING HEADS AND INTAKE, REPORTED TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.
