2005 GMC Yukon

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUEL LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENDING UNIT FOR THE FUEL PUMP RUSTED AND FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06E043000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND WENT TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE BRAKES INITIALLY WORKED BUT AT ABOUT 30 MPH THERE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDAL, SO TO SPEAK, TO GET THE 2005 YUKON TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THE TRAFFIC STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME AND UPON INSPECTION THE BREAK LINE HAD FAILED RIGHT BELOW THE RADIATOR WHERE IT CONNECTS TO A PLASTIC RETAINER CLIP. I WAS AMAZED AT THE FACT WITH ONLY 118,000 MILES I HAD TOTAL RUST THROUGH ON BRAKE LINES. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS ON A VEHICLE AND WOULD EXPECT THE LINES TO LAST LONGER. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN INDIANA ABOUT 40 MILES FOR CINCINNATI, OH. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!! SINCE I REPAIRED THIS FAILURE, THE TRANS LINE AND ANOTHER BRAKE LINE HAVE FAILED DUE TO RUST.!! I HAVE OWNED GM PRODUCTS MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAD A 1998 YUKON WITH 235,000 MI. ON THE TRUCK AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH RUST THROUGH ON THE LINES. I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING GM WOULD DO TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WORRY EVERY TIME I USE THE TRUCK THAT ANOTHER LINE WOULD BREAK AND CAUSE A MASSIVE ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEN I WENT TO PULL THE YUKON INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I BARELY MADE IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND STOPPED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE GM DEALERSHIP. I WAS CALLED WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS AND TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD BURST AND HAD CORRUPTED ALL OF THE ROTORS AND THE COST WOULD BE OVER $3K TO REPAIR/REPLACE. NOTE: THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED SEP 2013 AND HAD LESS THAN 1K MILEAGE. I CALLED GM CORPORATE TO ASK FOR RELIEF ON 10/6/14 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL WITHIN 24 HOURS BY A SENIOR ADVISOR. AFTER NOT HEARING BACK, I CALLED ON 10/10/14 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I CITIED ALL THE CASES ON LINE ABOUT FAULTY BRAKE LINES AND NHTSA EA11001 AND THE LADY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ISSUES. SHE STATED IT WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT GM. SHE STATED SHE WOULD CALL THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AND TURN IT OVER TO THEM. THERE WAS NOTHING GM WOULD DO TO ASSIST SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE INVESTIGATION? *TR

AT THE INITIAL START UP AND THE FOLLOW ON DRIVE SELECTION OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVE SELECTOR INDICATOR ON THE (SPEEDO) SPEED CLUSTER FAILS TO LIGHT UP TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE EXACT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. DURING LOW LIGHT TIMES THE INDICATION IS BARELY VISIBLE AND DAY LIGHT HOURS YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE INDICATION TO ENSURE THE PROPER GEAR OF VEHICLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN SELECTING WRONG GEAR. *JS
