2005 GMC Yukon Xl

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE MAKING EITHER A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AT 10 MPH, THE CONTACT COULD HEAR A LOUD POPPING OR CLICKING SOUND. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ADJUSTED THE STRAPS, LUBED THE FRONT, AND TIGHTENED THE CROSS MEMBER BOLTS. THE FAILURE WAS ALSO PRESENT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER PERFORMED THE SAME REPAIRS AS WERE MADE TO THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AT 11,600 MILES FOR THE SAME FAILURE AND REPAIRS. AT 14,100 MILES, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED THE RADIATOR SUPPORT. AT 18,962 MILES, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR THE POPPING AND CLICKING SOUNDS. THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS REPLACED. ON JULY 7, 2006, THE DEALER REPAIRED THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER BOLTS AGAIN. AT 35,661 MILES, THE STEERING SHAFT WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE SAME FAILURE. AT 42,092 MILES, THE STEERING SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. AT 67,762 MILES, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A SQUEALING NOISE WHEN IT WAS TURNED. NO REPAIRS HAVE YET BEEN MADE FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,998 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,762.

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GAUGE NEEDLE -- SPEEDOMETER GAUGE -- WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT STICKS ON 0MPH, ON A PREVIOUS RATE OF SPEED REGARDLESS OF INCREASE OR DECREASE, OR DISPLAYS RATE OF SPEED AT 100+ MPH. VERY INCONSISTENT. WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER DOES DECIDE TO WORK IT IS ABOUT 10-15 MPH OFF OF ACCURATE RATE OF SPEED. (COMPARED TO GPS THAT DISPLAYS CURRENT RATE OF SPEED) IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND CONTACT STATED THAT IT IS SAME CLUSTER PANEL GAUGE OF 2003-04 YEAR MODELS CURRENTLY IN RECALL ALTHOUGH HAS NOT EXTENDED TO 2005-06 YEAR MODELS AT THIS TIME. *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT HEARD A BEEPING NOISE AT THE REAR OF THE 2005 GMC YUKON WHEN SHE SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A TURN WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH. SHE HEARD THIS NOISE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY LUBRICATED THE COLUMN BOOT. THE CONTACT STATED THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD 18000 MILES. *AK

WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN MAY OF 05. SINCE THIS TIME WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. WHILE TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED THE BRAKES ON OCCASION FAIL TO ENGAGE AND WE END UP SLIDING FORWARD A FEW FEET. EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT THEY MUST EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. *NM

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 YUKON IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT AND STABILITY SYS DISABLED LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FIRST TRANSFER CASE MODULE AND WHEN THE PROBLEM PERSISTED THEY REPLACED THE SECOND TRANSFER CASE MODULE. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE STABILITY SYS BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T JUST CHECK IT WITHOUT A RECALL. THE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO COME ON AND MORE PROBLEMS STARTED OCCURRING. THE 4L AND THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT AND STABILITY SYS DISABLED LIGHTS WOULD ROTATE FLASHING AND I COULD NOT GET THE 2WD LIGHT TO STAY ON AND ALTHOUGH IT SAID IT WAS IN 4L IT WAS STILL IN 2WD AND IT TRIED TO LOCK UP A FEW TIMES. THEN THE NEUTRAL RED LIGHT WAS ON AND BOTH WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING BUT WAS STILL DRIVING IN 2WD. NEXT NONE OF THE 2WD, 4WD OR NEUTRAL LIGHTS WERE ON BUT BOTH WARNINGS WERE FLASHING AND THE (T/C) ICON ON THE DASH WAS DISPLAYED AND I COULDN'T GET THAT TO GO OFF BUT AGAIN WAS STILL DRIVING IN 2WD. FINALLY, IT WAS LITERALLY LOCKED INTO 4L, WAS MAKING AWFUL GRINDING NOISES, BOTH WARNINGS WERE FLASHING AND (T/C) ICON WERE ALL ON AND I COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF 4L NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED. I WAS STRANDED (IT WAS DARK AND LATE). I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW THEY HAVE REPLACED THE ENCODER MOTOR BUT I AM STILL VERY CONCERNED THERE IS STILL MORE DAMAGE AND I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. IF I HAD BEEN GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY OR AT A HIGHER SPEED, I AM CONFIDENT THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN AWFUL ACCIDENT AND BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE YET DEAD!I COMMUTE TO WORK, HAVE CLIENTS WITH ME AND ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN WITH ME GOING TO SPORTING EVENTS, FIELD TRIP, ETC. THERE HAS BEEN ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN JUNE 2005 AND EACH TIME IT GETS MORE SERIOUS! I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS!!!COULD SOMEONE PLEASE CALL ME REGARDING THIS SERIOUS ISSUE-I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW!!!THANK YOU! *NM
