9-28-04: MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAD 22643 MILES ON IT. I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR THAT MORNING TO START IT UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. MECHANIC STATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP HAD WENT OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMPS ON THESE VEHICLES WERE FAULTY. THEY REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP. 5-24-05: MY YUKON HAD 50012 MILES ON IT. I GOT IN THE VEHICLE THAT MORNING TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. ONCE AGAIN IT HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT COST US APPROXIMATELY $900.00 TO REPAIR. THEY INFORMED US THAT THE NEWEST FUEL PUMP HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WE WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHEN MY HUSBAND ASKED WHY THE 2ND FUEL PUMP THEY PUT ON DID NOT HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY, WE WERE TOLD THAT GM DOESN'T WARRANTY ANY WARRANTY PARTS. BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS STRANDED WITH MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. EACH TIME THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMPS BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY MY FUEL PUMPS SEEM TO QUIT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 25000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY CAN'T GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS EITHER. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE.
ON CERTAIN CREW CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE 2ND ROW CENTER OCCUPANT SEAT BELT ROUTING MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO POSITION THE LAP PORTION OF THE SAFETY BELT LOW AROUND THE HIPS OF OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY SMALLER OCCUPANTS, SEATED IN THIS POSITION. APPROPRIATE USE OF A CHILD SEAT OR BOOSTER SEAT, AS RECOMMENDED FOR SMALL CHILDREN, DOES IMPROVE THE FIT CONDITION FOR THIS USER GROUP. IN ADDITION TO INSTRUCTIONS ON PROPER INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD RESTRAINT (WITH CHILD SEATS OR BOOSTERS), SPECIAL VERBIAGE FOR RESTRAINING OLDER CHILD IS INCLUDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. ALSO, THE SUGGESTED SEAT BELT FIT/ROUTING FOR ADULTS, IRRESPECTIVE OF SEATING POSITION, IS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL TEXT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A LAP PORTION OF THE SEAT BELT ROUTING THAT IS NOT LOW AND SNUG ON THE HIPS CAN ALLOW THE LAP BELT TO RIDE UP ON AN OCCUPANT'S ABDOMEN INSTEAD OF FITTING LOW AROUND THEIR HIPBONES, AND THEREFORE, CAN EXPOSE THEM TO MORE RISK OF ABDOMINAL AND INTERNAL ORGAN INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CUT OPEN THE GUIDE LOOP, REMOVE A PORTION OF THE LOOP, AND THEN THE REMAINING TWO SIDES SHOULD BE FOLDED OVER AND SECURED WITH A RETAINER FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 21, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, OR HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND PASSENGER VANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, ?PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.? SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION BRAKE HYDRO-BOOST HOUSING RELIEF VALVE BORE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENTLY, THE VALVE O-RING SEAL MAY FRACTURE. STEERING EFFORTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY INCREASED WHILE BRAKING OR PARKING. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, A FRACTURED SEAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THE SAME VEHICLE DECELERATION RATE AS PRIOR TO THE SEAT FRACTURE.
Remedy: DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 18, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339; CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463; OR HUMMER AT 1-866-486-6376.
