While driving 65 MPH and pulling a trailer vehicle stalled. Prior to stalling there was some hesitation and jerking as if not getting fuel to engine. The dealer took vehicle to dealership in arizona, and fuel pump had to be replaced. This was the second occurrence for fuel pump problem. Also, experienced steering problem. The steering would be sticking, and it would jam when making turns either left or right. The mechanic at dealership had to replace a seal in column shaft of steering wheel. *ak the light clunk noise in the steering, low voltage, and insufficient fuel pressure on aceleration intermittently.
2003 GMC Yukon fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving 60 MPH on a 20 mile bridge, the engine failed (engine light and traction control light were on. No power steering or power brakes. Nothing appeared to be overheated. 2 hrs later it started, 5 minutes later it killed again. Towed to nearest dealership. They road tested it and car failed again. Found 1 broken wire inside wire insulation. Repaired. Picked up car and it failed 1 mile later, took it back to dealership on "reduced engine power". They found 2 more broken wires. Replaced harness. One week later it happened again. After brief wait it started and ran for another day until I could get it to the dealership purchased from. They could not find anything wrong. Two weeks later it failed again. Tow truck took it to another dearlership. They changed another part relative to the fuel system and said it "may" be fixed. I refuse to pick it up or drive it again; it's dangerous and undependable. Have asked gm for another car and I am waiting for their response.
I have a 2003 gmc yukon. It now has 20,000 miles. Gm has had to replace the fuel pump twice so far and will have to every time I run low on gasoline. It seems that the pump is located in the gas tank and the pump depends on the tank having enough liquid to keep the electric pump cool. Otherwise it overheats and burns up. I can't believe such dumb engineering. I'm sure that I am not the only consumer who has had this trouble. The service people make no secret that you must keep at least a quarter tank at all times to keep the pump from burning up.
Complete loss of power on the highway while driving 65 MPH. *ph the dealer diagnosed the problem as a fuse and faulty fuel pump but could not gaurantee that the problem would not recurr.
When filling the vehicle with fuel a leak has developed underneath. Consumer has scheduled an appointment with the dealer.
