Headlights fail to come on sometimes if steering wheel is tilted, it will have to move tilt on steering wheel sometimes they will come on in a certain position on the wheel and the interior dial will not make them come on, if they are on and high beamed or used it will make the lights go out all together, will not come on until tilt is readjusted.
2001 GMC Yukon electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The passenger side window failed to roll down, which was caused by an electrical problem.
The serpentine belt has been replaced twice and then the alternator was replaced because when the truck is started it makes a squealing noise and after all that, it still makes the noise.
Cruise control failure caused by an aberrant voltage on stop lamp circuit. Also the PCM, starter and serpentine belt was replaced. *ak
Headlights just go off on low beam will work only on high beam. Sometimes they work and then at other times they go off. Took to local dealership in brandon mississippi, could not reproduce, however got stranded wouldn't crank at 23900 miles, boosted, took to dealership, gauges were clicking and jumping battery was replaced under warranty but I am afraid this is not the end of this problem. We have had three gmc's with previous battery problems while under warranty. Dt
For at least three months the dim headlights would go out and only the high beam lights would work we took the truck in they could not duplicate. Then the truck stalled at 23500 miles and it was taken in and a new battery was put in under warranty. This is the third gmc vehicle we have had with battery problems. We also have a 1999 suburban that has had three batteries installed. We do not know at this point if the new battery will correct the headlight problem but will certainly return to dealer if not. I would like to know if there are other owners experience the same electrical/shortage problems? Dt
Truck has failed to start twice. When driving, at random times all gauges except speedometer and tachometer will shut off, message center will act like ignition is off. Truck has not shut down when this occurs yet, but the computer seems to think the engine is off.
While driving vehicle was involved in an accident, air bags did not deploy. *ak the consumer stated that the vehicle was hit very hard. The impact damaged the instrument panel, broke the windshield, and the front and rear passenger doors needed repair.
