2008 GMC Yukon Complaint Log

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 GMC YUKON. IT FIRST STARTED WITH MY RADIO CUTTING ON AND OFF. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE WARNING LIGHT COME ON ALERTING ME THAT I HAVE AN OPEN HOOD, UNLOOSEN FUEL CAP,AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND REMAINED ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS. LATELY THE ALARM HAS BEEN GOING OFF 5 TIMES TO DATE. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS GETTING ME ANYWHERE. I HAVE DELIVERED IT TO THEM THREE TIMES AND HAVE HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT TWICE. TODAY WAS THE THIRD TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOANER CAR AND TO RETURN ON WED. 8.27.08 . THEY DID NOT WRITE UP THAT I WAS THERE TODAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT THE NEXT TIME A DUMMY LIGHT GOES OFF I ONLY HOPE THAT IT ISN'T SOMETHING SERIOUS SINCE ALL THE ISSUES SEEM TO BE A "BOY CRYING WOLF". *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON XL 1500. THE CONTACT ORDERED A VEHICLE THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO TOW A TRAILER. THE VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR PASSENGER TIRES, SIZE P26570R17. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE SWAYED FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. THE CONTACT ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE BELIEVED THAT THE PASSENGER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE INSUFFICIENT FOR TOWING A TRAILER. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE STANDARD FOR THAT MODEL. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT THE TRAILER WAS OVERLOADED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE TOWS UP TO 8,100 LBS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500. UPDATED 05/19/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED SEVERE SWAYING PROBLEMS WHILE TOWING HIS TRAILER. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES WERE DESIGNED WITH SOFT SIDEWALLS FOR A SMOOTH RIDE IN A PASSENGER CAR AND NOT FOR THE TRAILER TOWING WHICH REQUIRED TIRES WITH STIFF SIDEWALLS TO DISCOURAGE SWAYING. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE LIGHT TRUCK TIRES. UPDATE 05/20/08. *JB
