What 2001 GMC Yukon owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tl* the contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon. While driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 281,183.
I own a 2001 gmc yukon and this is the second time the ABS module has failed on it. After it fails, the motor continues to run. Not only do you not have ABS, but the motor heats up. If you don't notice it right away, it will drain your battery, leave you stranded, or worse.
Dt: the contact was slowing down to come to a stop and the ABS light and parking light came on. He increased his stopping distance in order to get the vehicle to come to a stop. Took the vehicle to the dealer; they hooked it up to a diagnostic machine. The dealer stated it needed a new electronic box. There was no free remedy to fix the box. The seat belt on the passenger's side in the second row of the vehicle locked in the buckle, other times it will come loose while in the seat belt. Also when turning the vehicle to the right or left one could hear a clicking sound. The dealer was not willing to fix it free of charge.
Multiple failures with 2001 yukon. Dashboard light, air bag and computer malfunctioned. Problems starting after accelerating. *bf the vehicles computer malfunctioned causing dashboard lights, airbag, l.e.d, and brake lights to turn on. The speedometer froze. When the consumer would press on the gas pedal the vehicle would not respond properly. This problem happens spuractically.
Multiple failures; A/C odors, door lock, suspension alignment and brakes. *bf there were problems with the following: weather strip was loose, the A/C blew warm, the belts squeaked, there was a mildew odors, the window regulator, the front seat belt squeaked, the door panel, the steering wheel rattled, drive shaft, accelerator pedal, the wipers were noisy, the hinge pin on the radio was loose, engine noises, A/C drain would not drain at times until the passenger door was closed/water lead and caused by the left front floorboard. Recall#01v159000, 02v253000, 03v094000.
Original equipment acdelco battery positive terminal corroded and fell off with no prior warning. No visible signs. Failure can occur at any time, with vehicle either running or parked, and at any location. Repair is a battery replacement and repair of acid-damaged parts located under the battery. I've since learned that this failure is common knowledge of gm repair centers and other gm SUV vehicle owners.
Battery acid was leaking out of the truck and onto the driveway. The third battery was installed because of this problem.
Vehicle having multiple problems with seatbelts. *mr the front seat belt would not pull out or return to position, two weeks later, the same problem occurred in the passenger seat belt. The rear seat belt experienced the same problem. The battery leaked acid from the positive battery post and the material on the drivers seat was wearing out. *sc
After driving the vehicle and then parking it for a while vehicle would not start. Dealer was contacted but was not able to resolve the problem.
