2003 GMC Yukon Complaint Log

OUR YUKON XL HAS A SEVERE REVERBERATION INSIDE THE CABIN THAT IS ACCENTUATED WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR ACCELERATING UP HILLS. WE HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY CLAIMING THAT IT IS BECAUSE THE CABIN IS SO LONG. AFTER 15 MINUTES IN THE VEHICLE IT BECOMES ANNOYING TO INTOLERABLE.

THE SEAT BELTS IN MY 2003 YUKON XL DENALI SLOWLY TIGHTEN UP DURING OPERATION. WE NEED TO RELEASE THE BELT AND ALLOW IT TO RETRACT COMPLETLY AND THEN RELATCH IT. GMC HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN OFFERING BELT EXTENTIONS.
