What 1999 Chevrolet Yukon owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Windshield wipers failed to come on. Then will start or may not start.
My 1999 chevrolet tahoe's VIN # is not covered under a recently issued recall (campaign # 05v379000). The exact symptoms of my braking problem match the reason for the recall and yet my vehicle is not covered.
My husband and I were driving back from visiting family on 895n approximately 2 miles from the habor tunnel when our 1999 chevy tahoe lost all power. All emergency lights were lit on the dashboard. We were driving at approximately 65mph with the A/C on and the satellite radio on. This incident has happened in the past and we knew that the ecmb fuse had blown. We replaced the blown fuse and the vehicle restarted with no problems. We were about 2 miles out of the tunnel when the vehicle lost power again. The same fuse was blown. This happened 3 additional times in the course of 30 minutes. We were in moderately heavy beltway traffic and were very lucky that no accidents or injuries occurred in the 5 times the vehilcle lost power.
The windshield wipers worked intermittently. The dealer stated that it was the circuit board. *jb consumer filed complaint because vehicle was not covered under the recall with vehicles witht the same problem.
After rear-ending another vehicle at 40mph air bags failed to deploy.
