TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT POWER OFF EVEN WHEN SHIFTED IN THE OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO POWER OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS MADE; HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED AND THAT THERE WAS AN UPDATED MODEL. THE GOOD CHEVROLET DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE HVAC. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT AND REFERRED TO CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC YUKON XL 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VENTILATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED PREVENTING THE CONTACT FROM TURNING THE A/C AND OR HEATER ON. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE REAR VENTILATION WAS WORKING PROPERLY BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURN OFF THE EXHAUST FAN WAS STILL BLOWING. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT BURNING FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO DISCONNECT THE POWER TO THE BLOWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RESISTOR MODULE CONNECTOR AND BLOWER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE REPAIRED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE REAR LIFTGATE WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN & REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD FOR PERSONS TRAVELING IN VEHICLE, AS THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY MEANS TO EXIT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE VIA THE REAR LIFTGATE OR REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW IN AN EMERGENCY (ESPECIALLY FOR MY CHILDREN WHO SIT IN THE 3RD ROW OF SEATS) ALL 4 STANDARD DOORS STILL LOCK/UNLOCK BOTH MANUALLY AND WITH THE REMOTE CLICKER, HOWEVER, THE REAR LIFTGATE NO LONGER UNLOCKS OR OPENS MANUALLY OR WITH THE REMOTE CLICKER. THIS DESIGN DEFECT OF THE REAR LIFTGATE AND REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW ON THE GMC YUKON IS A SERIOUS HAZARD TO THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS. NOW THAT THE REAR LIFTGATE AND REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW IS "FROZEN" IN THE LOCKED POSITION, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO EXIT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR LIFTGATE OR REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW SINCE THERE ARE NO MANUAL DOOR HANDLES OR LEVERS TO OPEN THE REARLIFTGATE OR ITS WINDOW FROM THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. PER THE MECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS, THE POOR DESIGN OF THE REAR LIFTGATE 'HOUSING BOX' SURROUNDING THE LIFTGATE CABLE MECHANISM OVERHEATS AND HAS CAUSED THE 'HOUSING BOX' AND CABLE MECHANISM TO MELT, THUS RENDERING THE REAR LIFTGATE AND REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW NON-OPERATIONAL. WITHOUT THIS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, THERE IS NO MEANS TO ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY UNLOCK OR OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE OR REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW, THUS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD TO PASSENGERS TRAVELING IN VEHICLE. *TR
