DRIVER'S SEATBACK MOVES UNEXPECTEDLY, WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK *ML

THIS WAS A REAR-END COLLISION. WE WERE STANDING STILL WHEN HIT. DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSED UPON IMPACT. *AK

DT: THE BRAKE'S ABS SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE BRAKES ARE NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE PUMPED A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE YOU CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONSUMER HAS HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED ONCE. THE DEALER WAS THE ONE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. THE SPEEDS ARE BETWEEN 20-30, HIGH 40-50 WHEN YOU HAVE TO START PUMPING THEM. IF YOU HIT A BUMP AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKES WILL PUSH BACK UP INSTEAD OF DOWN. THE CONSUMER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 5 YEARS. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS IN A MINOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE FAILURE. *TT

MY NEW GMC WAS SHIPPED WITHOUT A DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG. WE HAD AN INTERMITTANT INDICATION (WARNINING LIGHT) ABOUT 4 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VECHICLE. I BELIEVE THE AIR BAG WAS TAKEN/NOT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY AND THAT THE WIRING WAS RIGGED TO SHOW AN AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, WITH NO RESPONSE OTHER THEN THEY CREATED A FILE. BOTTOMLINE...IF AN AIRBAG IS NOT INSTALLED THE SYSTEM SHOULD INDICATE A FAULT. IF MY AIRBAG WAS TAKEN THERE MAY BE OTHER FAMLIES DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AN AIRBAG IS NOT INSTALLED HOW IT COULD PASS A SYSTEMS SENSOR CHECK. THE LOCAL GM DEALER HAS ORDERED A NEW AIRBAG.*AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES REAR BRAKE WILL LOCK UP BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKE, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK LOCK UP OF REAR BRAKE COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL ON WET OR ICY PAVEMENT. TIRES LEAVE BLACK MARKS ON PAVEMENT. BRAKE PROPORTIONING SYSTEM NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *YH

MY 2000 GMC HAS HAD A STALLING ISSUE FROM THE DAY IT WAS DELIVERED. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THEY WILL REPLACE A COMPUTER CHIP BY SEPT. 30, AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM.. I WILL FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPURCHASED IF IT IS NOT FIXED BY SEPT. 30TH. THE DEALER ADMITS THAT THERE ARE "SEVERAL" OF THESE YUKONS AND PICKUPS" THAT HAVE THIS STALLING PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE NOT MAKING POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, PERHAPS THAT WOULD HURT "THEIR BOTTOM LINE"!! ALSO, THESE YUKONS ARE SOLD WITH FIRESTONE LE TIRES, BY REVIEWING THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND SOME OF THE OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, I SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL THAT HAD THE TIRES BLOW, MAYBE THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHECK ON THESE TIRES AS WELL AS THE ONES ALREADY RECALLED . *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD MORE THAN THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE ON MORE THAN AN ELEVEN PERCENT GRADE. THE YUKON XL IS ADVERTISED BY GMC TO BE A VEHICLE CAPBABLE OF TOWING A 7800 LB TRAILER.

THIS NOT A SAFELY DESIGNED SYSTEM.*AK
