I RECENTLY MOVED FROM MICHIGAN TO TENNESSEE AND WHILE LIVING IN MICHIGAN I NOTICES A SQUEALING NOISE WHENEVER I TURNED ON MY AC. THE NOISE WOULD LAST A FEW MINUTES AND THEN STOP. I ALSO NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE UPON ACCELERATION WHILE THE AC WAS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN MICHIGAN AND AT FIRST NOTHING WAS FOUND. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN TENNESSEE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A RECYCLING SWITCH, AND IT WAS REPLACED. NOW, ALMOST I YEAR LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BUT UNFORTUNATELY, MY VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY (50,000 MILES) AND I AM NOW TOLD THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. IT WILL NOW COST ME OVER $1,000 TO REPAIR ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON XL. THE IGNITION KEY HAS THREE DIFFERENT SETTING AUXILIARY, RUN, START AND THE VEHICLE HAS A STOP MECHANISM SO THAT OWNER CANNOT TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK UNLESS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. HOWEVER, THAT STOP SETTING DID NOT WORK IF THE KEY WAS SET TO THE AUXILIARY. COULD BASICALLY TAKE IT OUT OF PARK AND PUT IT INTO GEAR WITHOUT HAVING TO STEP ON THE BRAKE. UNABLE TO DO IT IF THE KEY WAS SET ON THE RUN POSITION OR IF STARTED VEHICLE. OWNER'S MANUAL DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AND IT DID NOT TALK DISCUSS THE SAFETY OF THE WAY THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE. WHAT HAPPENED IS HE HAD A 2 YEAR OLD AND A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD WHILE BACKING CAR INTO DRIVEWAY. IS ON A SLANT THEY WERE JUST SITTING THERE THEY HAD THE VEHICLE ON ACCELERATE AND WHEN HE TURNED AROUND 2 YEAR OLD CRAWLED INTO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ACROSS THE STREET.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENTLY, THE VALVE O-RING SEAL MAY FRACTURE. STEERING EFFORTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY INCREASED WHILE BRAKING OR PARKING. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, A FRACTURED SEAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THE SAME VEHICLE DECELERATION RATE AS PRIOR TO THE SEAT FRACTURE.
Remedy: DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 18, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339; CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463; OR HUMMER AT 1-866-486-6376.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AS A RESULT, THE DOOR STRENGTH MAY BE DEGRADED DURING A SIDE IMPACT VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WELDS ON THE LEFT REAR DOOR UPPER HINGE. IF A WELD IS FOUND OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION, A BOLT WILL BE INSTALLED TO SECURE THE HINGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 17, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.
ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, VEHICLES, DURING A 30 DEGREE LEFT ANGLE FRONTAL IMPACT OF SUFFICIENT SEVERITY, A TEAR COULD DEVELOP IN THE MID-FRAME CROSS MEMBER AT ITS ATTACHMENT TO THE LEFT FRAME RAIL. IF THE MID-FRAME CROSS MEMBER TEARS DURING FRONTAL IMPACT AND PRODUCES A SHARP EDGE, CONTACT OF THE SHARP EDGE WITH THE FUEL TANK COULD RESULT IN A PUNCTURE OF THE FUEL TANK AND POSSIBLE FUEL LEAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A FUEL TANK SHIELD. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 20, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020 OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.
