I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN FEB OF 2002 AND IT WAS SLEETING, I WAS USING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO CLEAR THE WINDOW. THE RIGHT FORNT WIPER ARM CAME LOOSE AS THE WIPER STARTED THE UP STROKE AND THEN JUST STAYED IN THE "UP" POSITION, IT GOT TANGLED UP INTO THE LEFT WIPER ARM AND BENT THE ARM TO WHERE THE WIPERS COULD NOT BE USED. I TOOK THE YUKON INTO A GMC DEALER WHO WAS CLOSE BY, THEY REFUSED TO WORK ON IT SINCE I HAD NOT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THERE, SO I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE APPROX. 50 MILES TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM TO GET IT REPAIRED. THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT THE WIPERS ON THIS VEHICLE SOMETIMES DO THAT, IN FACT HE SAID HE HAD ALREADY REPAIRED TWO THAT SAME DAY AND I SHOULD CARRY A 13MM WRENCH WITH ME AND CHECK THE TIGHTNESS ON THE ARMS FROM TIME TO TIME. THE NEXT INCIDENT HAPPENED IN APRIL AND IT WAS MISTING RAIN, I HAD JUST TURNED ON MY WIPERS WHEN I SAW THE LEFT FRONT WIPER ARM COME LOSE AND STOPPED WIPING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE WIPERS OFF BEFORE IT GOT TANGLED UP WITH THE RIGHT WIPER ARM. I USED THE 13MM WRENCH, THAT THE DEALER RECOMMENED I BUY, AND TIGHTENED IT. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFTEY FEATURE IF THIS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE IT WAS RAINING OR SLEETING HARD. THE INCIDENT WITH THE REAR DEFROST HAPPENED IN APRIL OF 2002. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH TOWN AND THE REAR WINDOWS (IT HAS CARGO DOORS, 1 WINDOW IN EACH DOOR) START TO FOG UP, I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND THE RIGHT REAR WINDO IN THE CARGO DOOR CLEARED UP WITHIN SECONDS, THE WINDOW ON THE LEFT REAR CARGO DOOR NEVER DID. THE DEALER IS SCHEDULED TO LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM ON 05/06/2002. THIS SERIOUSLY IMPAIRS YOUR VISION WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS WON'T DEFOG/\. *AK

THE VIN NUMBER IS [XXX] ON FEBRUARY 12, 2002, AT 9AM I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT CLYDE REVORD TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ADJUSTED ON MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL WITH 22400 MILES. AFTER CHANGING THE OIL THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN WORN DOWN DUE TO THE FACT IT HAD BEEN LEFT ON. I PROCEEDED TO TELL THEM THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN LEFT ON. AT THAT POINT THE MECHANIC CHIMED IN AND STATED THAT HE COULD PROVE THAT IT WAS LEFT ON. HE TOOK ME OUT TO THE SHOP AND POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF BRAKE DUST INDICATING IT HAD BEEN LEFT ON. HE THEN STATED HOWEVER THAT HE PERSONALLY HAS SEEN A LOT OF THESE IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. OF COURSE WHAT THAT MEANT WAS THAT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY CALLED THE DEALER AND THROUGH THEIR CORRESPONDENCE THEY DETERMINED THAT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS AND NO ACTIVE RECALLS AND BY WHAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT CLYDE REVORD TOLD THEM ! THAT THEY COULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME INVESTIGATING OF MY OWN BY CALLING SPEEDWAY CHEVROLET, THE SERVICE WRITER THERE TOLD ME THAT INDEED THERE IS AN ISSUE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKES BEING OVER TIGHTENED FROM THE FACTORY AND THAT HE PERSONALLY HAS SEEN 40 OR SO VEHICLES IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT HIS OWN VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED FOR THE SAME THING. I THEN CALLED CLYDE REVORD BACK AND SPOKE WITH FRANK THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE STATED THAT HE HAS NO EVIDENCE OF THERE BEING A PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE SPEEDWAY CHEVROLET WAS GETTING THEIR INFO AND THAT "THAT'S A BUNCH OF BOLOGNA" HE ALSO STATED THAT CONTRARY TO THERE POLICY OF PROVIDING EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO HELP ME OR COVER THIS ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY. I THEN CONTACTED SMOKEY POINT PONTIAC GMC AND THEY TOO HAVE SEEN ISSUES WITH THESE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY ON FEBRUARY 25, 2002. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFOR

MY 2001 YUKON XL FAILED INSPECTION ON 10/06/2003 DUE TO AN INOPERATIVE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE. THE GMC DEALER WHICH PERFORMED INSPECTIONS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM (THE PARKING BRAKE HANGING OPEN AND WEARING) TO BOTH THE DEALER AND TO GM, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. MY HUSBAND ADJUSTED THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE THE SAME EVENING AND THE SUV PASSED AT RE-INSPECTION THE FOLLOWING MORNING, HOWEVER, THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE IS AGAIN HUNG OPEN AND WEARING (LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER BEING FIXED AND PASSING INSPECTION). *LA

ON A RECENT TRIP TO CANADA IT WAS FOUND THAT FOUR(4) OF THE WELDS HOLDING THE SQUARE RECEIVER TO THE HORIZONTAL MEMBER WERE CRACKED, ONE WELD WAS OK. NOT BEING SATISIFED WITH THE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION PERFORMANCE OF THE HITCH I HAD CONTACTED CAN-AM RV CENTER (TOWING SPECALISTS) IN ONTARIO CANADA TO CHECK THE HITCH WHILE I WAS UP THERE. WHEN RAISING THE VEHICLE ON THE LIFT THEY FOUND FOUR CRACKED WELDS WHICH THEY REPAIRED AND ATTACHED SOME ADDITIONAL MEMBERS TO THE FRAME IN ORDER TO TRANSFER MORE WEIGHT TO THE FRONT AXLE. PRIOR TO THIS MODIFICATION I WAS REDUCING THE FRONT AXLE LOAD BY 600#, WHICH MADE THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE LIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS RECEIVER IS OVER RATED AND VERY DANGEROUS. THIS FACTORY RECEIVER IS RATED AT 12000# TRAILER WEIGHT AND 1500# TONGUE WEIGHT WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE OVER RATED. IT ALSO DOES NOT TRANSFER THE WEIGHT EVENLY OVER THE VEHICLE AS IT SHOULD. I AM TOWING A 9000# TRAILER WITH A HITCH WEIGHT OF 1200#. IT APPEARS THAT THE GM PRIORTY IS SELLING YUKON'S AND INCLUDING A RECEIVER FROM THE LOWEST BIDDER. AS OF THIS DATE I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM THAT THEY NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE WELD FIX($70) BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DONE BY A GM DEALER. IF SOMEONE DROPS A $40,000 TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE IT WILL COST GM MORE THAN $70. GOOD LUCK AND THANKS, LLOYD BADMAN. *AK

OUR 2001 GMC YUKON XL HAS NO "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT OR INDICATOR OF ANY KIND OTHER THAN THE DOME LIGHT COMING ON IF A DOOR IS OPEN. IS THIS WITHIN YOUR REGULATION FOR SAFE VEHICLES. *JB

ON 8/7/2001 I TOOK MY GMC YUKON XL TO THE DEALER AND REQUESTED THEY REPLACE MY FACTORY INSTALLED HEAVY DUTY TRAILER RECEIVER HITCH DUE TO IT BENDING UP APPROXIMATELY 3" DUE TO THE TORSION BARS PULLING UP ON THE HITCH TO PUT MORE WEIGHT ON THE FRONT WHEELS. I AM TOWING A 26' HI-LO TRAVEL TRAILER THAT IS CONSIDERABLY LESS WEIGHT THAN THE GMC HITCH IS DESIGNED FOR. I HAVE PULLED THIS SAME TRAILER WITH THE SAME TRAILER HITCH BALL, TORSION BARS, SWAY BARS PULLING IT WITH MY 1997 FORD EXPLORER. THE TRAILER HITCH RECEIVER NEVER BENT LIKE THE GMC RECEIVER HITCH DID ON MY FIRST TRIP TO CANADA. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, MR. HOLZHAVER, AND SHOWED HIM BOTH THE GMC BENT RECEIVER HITCH AND THE FORD EXPLORER UNDAMAGED RECEIVER HITCH. HE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRAILER HITCH AND SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. THE DESIGN OF THIS TRAILER RECEIVER HITCH IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BEND UP 3 INCHES WHEN THE TORSION BARS ARE INSTALLED. IF THE HITCH BREAKS LOOSE THIS 26' TRAILER COULD COME LOOSE CAUSING A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT ON OUR HIGHWAYS. YOUR CO-OPERATION IN GETTING THIS HITCH REPLACED AND REDESIGNED WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THE FOG LIGHTS VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY WHEN DRIVING, GREATLY REDUCING THEIR EFFECTIVENESS. DEALER ADVISED PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE FOG LIGHT MOUNT. *AK OTHER DRIVERS WERE DISTRACTED BY THE SHAKING LIGHT IN THEIR REAR VIEW MIRROR. *SCC *JB
