2001 Yukon xl SUV with 81182 miles on it. Transmission made a popping sound (no forward gears, but reverse gears). SUV has upgraded transmission that had a supposedly better model "front planet" part per GMC transmission specialist. That supposedly superior "front planet" split into (2) parts inside the transmission although it is one molded piece. Resulting explosion of metal caused a $2703. 52 transmission rebuild. I have the digital photos and the actual failed parts!.
The vehicle was parked and not running, however the consmer was able to apply the shifter from park to drive as well as reverse. Please fill in additional information. The vehicle began to move in the off position when the key was not in the ignition due to the shifter moving from the park position.
On may 17, 2003 my 4 year old daughter was killed in our driveway by our 2001 GMC Yukon. We were cleaning the rear of our vehicle when the vehicle came out of gear and the parking brake failed to hold the vehicle. My 2 year old son was in the vehicle at the time, but there is no way that he could have applied the brake to release the vehicle out of gear. This is something that no family should have to endure and I am asking for help in proving these failures. I feel there are two failures with this vehicle. The parking brake on all models of these vehicles fails to hold these vehicles. I have searched your websites to find 50 plus complaints about the parking brake on GMC/Chevrolet vehicles of this kind failing to hold the vehicle and vehicles not passing safety inspections because the parking brake does not support the vehicle. The second issue is I believe that there was either a malfunction of the transmission or that there are mechanical overrides in this vehicle as in the 2003 GMC envoy recall campaign #03v075 that can allow the transmission to be shifted out of park with the ignition in the off position. I also, I found odi id number: 897722 which shows that this should be investigated. I believe a full investigation should be done on the parking brake and the transmission of the GMC and Chevrolet vehicles. This is the link to the accident. . Read more...
