2004 GMC Yukon

DT: WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND STALLED. AND DRIVER HAS NO POWER AND DRIVER HAS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. CALLER HAD FUEL PUMP REPLACED AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, AND STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. CALLER HAS HAD THREE VEHICLES IN THE PASSED 4 OR 5 YEARS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CALLER?S FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ALSO HAVE PROBLEM.*AK

2004 GMC YUKON SLT -- INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN TRUCK WAS STARTED. ALL GAUGES (FUEL, BATTERY & WATER) BECAME INACTIVE. SHIFT INDICATOR NO LONGER WORKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT GEAR THE CAR WAS IN. AUDIO SYSTEM (CASSETTE, CD PLAYER AND RADIO) BECAME INOPERABLE. CAR TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP -- BECK & MASTEN NORTH IN HOUSTON. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. PREVIOUS ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GOING OUT, CAUSING SPEEDOMETER TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. DEALER ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM ON A NUMBER OF YUKONS. (I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS A A RECALL ON EITHER YOUR SITE OR GMC'S SITE.) GMC HAS VIOLATED FMVSS STANDARD NO. 101 AND PARTS 573 AND 577.

THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS A HORRIBLE BUBBLING OR GARGLING SOUND EMMITING FROM MY 2004 YUKON EXHAUST. IT SOUNDS REALLY BAD, ENOUGH TO TURN PEOPLES HEADS WHILE I'M SITTING AT THE CONVENEIENCE STORE OR A DRIVE THRU. THE DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM STATES THAT THEY ALL MAKE THIS SOUND, BUT I'M NOT STUPID. I KNOW OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR MODEL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I JUST WANT IT FIXED. IF I'M WILLING TO PAY $44,000 FOR A VEHICLE I EXPECT IT TO LOOK AND SOUND GREAT OR AT LEAST LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A NEW ONE. PLEASE HELP! *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *LA THE CONSUMER WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A DUMP TRUCK AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE SHUTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. *TC

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BY COASTING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THEN VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THEN, NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL SMOKE WAS COMING FROM IT. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

AFTER ENGINE IS WARMED UP, USUALLY AFTER DRIVING JUST A FEW MILES, THERE IS A LOUD BANGING NOISE THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE MUFFLER. IT HAPPENS APPROX EVERY 8-12 SECONDS WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING OR OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HEAR IT, ALTHOUGH THE SALES MANAGER THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE HEARD IT. THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK LATER AND THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT BUT GMC HAS NOT RELEASED THE PARTS SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT EVEN IF THEY DID HEAR IT. WHEN I AM SITTING NEXT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, FOR EXAMPLE AT A LIGHT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS HITTING THEIR VEHICLE AND IS COMING FROM MINE. WITH ROAD RAGE BEING WHAT IT IS THESE DAYS I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THAT GMC HAS "NOT RELEASED THE PARTS" TO FIX IT.*AK

WHEN MY 2004 GMC YUKON WARMS UP, A LOUD REPETITIVE CLANGING NOISE EMINATES FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS CAN BE HEARD WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUES FOR A PERIOD AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE YUKON WAS PURCHASED NEW ON 5/31/04 AND BEGAN MAKING THE NOISE WITHIN 500 MILES. GMC SAYS ENGINEERING HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE PROBLEM SINCE 11/03 AND IT INVOLVES METAL IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BEING DEFORMED BY THE HEAT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER YUKON OWNERS AND MADE A POINT TO LISTEN TO OTHER YUKONS ON THE ROAD AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANOTHER YUKON EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. GMC REFUSES TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IF THE METAL IS DEFORMED, HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT LEAKING FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT?
