2005 GMC Yukon

I WILL BE DRIVING MY 2005 YUKON, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN UNDER DRY CONDITIONS WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP MY CAR GOES FOR A SECOND, THAN EVERYTHING STOPS, I WILL SLAP THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE IS RUNNING BUT DOESN'T REV (SP) AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE...I LIVE ON A MAIN ROUTE , THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55MPH IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, I MAKE SURE I GIVE MYSELF PLENTY OF DISTANCE TO GO AND WHEN I PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC THINKING I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME AND THAN THIS HAPPENS...I AM PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MY FAMILY...THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN...A LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH SAYING TRACTION ACTIVE....THAT IS NOT A WARNING....MY CAR DOES NOT GO! I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DEAD BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AND COULDN'T TELL THE STORY ON WHY THEY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF SOME TRUCK AND THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T GO....GM NEEDS TO CONFESS UP TO THIS PROBLEM...I KNOW 3 OTHER PEOPLE PERSONALLY THAT THERE CAR DOES THIS ALSO...GM TOLD THEM IT WAS HIS FRONT WHEEL SENSORS, THAT RUST GOT BETWEEN SOMETHING IN THEM UP NORTH WHERE THERE IS SALT...HE REPLACED THEM...AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURS...SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I HAVE LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET, AND THERE IS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS...NO ONE REALLY HAS AN ANSWER TO FIX IT...IT IS HIT AND MISS.....I AM SURE IT IS A RECALL BUT GMC WOULD HAVE TO SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT....WHY DOES THE RICH GUY ALWAYS GET THE BREAK.....I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND IT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE LOOKED INTO....WE BAIL GM OUT, THAN THEY PLAY DEATH GAMES WITH OUR LOVED ONES.....IF THEY COULD 100% TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, I WOULD HAVE IT FIXED, BUT THEY WON'T FESS UP.....COME ON GM....YOU KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM.....THIS HAPPENS ALWAYS, I DRIVE AROUND WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM DISABLED...I HAVE TO DO THIS EACH TIME THE CAR IS OFF AND BACK ON. I PUSH THE DISABLED BUTTON AND IT SEEMS NOT TO HAPPEN...AS LONG AS I REMEMBER TO DO THIS, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE, IT SHOULD BE FIXED WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS. THANK U *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINED STUCK ON 120 MPH AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING OF SPEEDS TRAVELED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE BUT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHILE DRIVING FROM CHICAGO TO MILWAUKEE ON 1/26/11 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO INDICATE VERY ABNORMAL SPEEDS. MY PORTABLE GPS INDICATED I WAS TRAVELING 62 MPH YET MY YUKON'S SPEEDOMETER READ 110 MPH. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION IN MILWAUKEE AND TURNED MY YUKON OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT 55 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY GOOGLED FAULTY YUKON SPEEDOMETERS AND FOUND A LARGE QUANTITY OF SITES CONTAINING DEFECT INFORMATION ABOUT GMC YUKON'S SPEEDOMETERS. I ALSO READ THAT GM SUPPOSEDLY SENT OUT LETTERS TO CUSTOMERS. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS. HAVING 3 SMALL CHILDREN I WOULD NOT LET SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS THIS GO UNFIXED HAD I BEEN MADE AWARE. I AM NOW AT 96,000 MILES AND SEE THAT GM'S "RECALL" ENDS AT 80,000 MILES. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED SO I COULD HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED. THIS IS EXACTLY ONE OF THE MANY REASONS PEOPLE HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM AND OTHER AMERICAN CAR MANUFACTURERS. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD MY VEHICLE IN MY SERVICE DEPT. FOR AN ON-GOING PROBLEM , WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND NOT MOVE AFTER ABOUT 20 FEET OR SO AND A TRACTION ACTIVE MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE WOULD END UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH LOSS OF POWER AND CARS BEHIND ME WILL ALMOST RE END MY CAR. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT HAPPENING 6 OR MORE TIME DAILY, WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WOULD DRIVE FROM A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. TO REGAIN POWER, YOU HAD TO LET OFF ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND THE DRIVE WOULD RE-ENGAGE. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE AND IT GOES AWAY WHEN WE TURN OFF THE STABILITY CONTROL WHICH IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY FEATURE KNOWING THAT MY BABIES ARE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. AFTER DOING A SEARCH THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING MY SAME PROBLEM, THIS IS AS SAFETY HAZARD AND IS GOING TO CAUSE A FATALITY. *LN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

2005 FAULTY GMC YUKON DASH SYSTEM. DEALER ORIGINALLY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE ALCOHOL IN THE GASOLINE. I TRIED USING ETHANOL FREE GAS AND IT WORKED. I COULDN'T FIND ANY ETHANOL FREE GAS ON DEC 25TH SO I HAD TO USE 10% ETHANOL AND MY ENTIRE DASH HAS QUIT WORKING. I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING, IF I HAVE FUEL OR HOW MANY MILES I HAVE ON MY VEHICLE. THE GMC DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP, DASH BOARD AND THEY ESTIMATE IT WILL COST AROUND $1500. IT WORKED FINE WITHOUT ETHANOL! *TR

FAILURE OF REAR WINDOW HINGE IN GMC 2005 YUKON. HINGE AND GLASS SEPARATE, WINDOW IS LOOSE; CAN BE PULLED OFF DUE TO SUCTION FROM OTHER VEHICLES OR THE WIND. CONTACTED GMC, CUSTOMER SERVICE REP, CHRISTIAN, SAID NOT COVERED DUE TO WARRANTY EXPIRED ON VEHICLE, NO RECALL IN EFFECT. I EXPLAINED THERE ARE SEVERAL POSTS ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE REGARDING THE REAR HINGE FAILING. HE OFFERED TO PROVIDE A SERVICE PROVIDER, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE BACK GLASS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM TO GMC, SOME POSTS INDICATED COVERED BY DEALERS, OTHERS WERE NOT. ONE LISTING OF BACK GLASS FALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURRED WHEN WE OPENED THE BACK GLASS TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS GARAGED AT HOME, AND WHILE AT WORK. REAR WINDOW IS RARELY OPENED. NEVER TOWED ANYTHING BEHIND VEHICLE. AS MUCH INFO THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I'M HOPING GMC WILL RE-CONSIDER AND PLACE A RE-CALL. SOON. ONLY 65K MILES, PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2005. ORIGINAL OWNER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON. WHILE PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE CONTACT COULD SMELL GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. UPON EXAMINATION HE COULD SEE GASOLINE SPRAYING OUT LIKE MIST FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AS GASOLINE BEGAN TO DRIP FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. HE LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM TWO SMALL HOLES PIERCED THROUGH ONE OF THE FUEL LINES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
