general problems of the 2001 GMC Yukon

Impact and accident at a 2 way stop sign, where my truck was stopped, and a Tesla dual motor model3, severed and hit my truck, due to the driver being on autonomous mode orfsd beta 10. Xzxx69.

Driving truck and couldn't gain control and was driving on its own.

Vehicle stalls and loses all power at speed (60+mph). After a few minutes, it restarts, but stalls again a few miles or a few hundred yards down the road. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to get it fixed, replaced fuel pumps, sensors etc. With no luck. No error codes show up.

I was wrongfully issued a suspension of vehicle gor no insurance but I did have car insurance. . .

Failed brakes due to the corroded brake lines- safety issue.

Was driving down a stretch of straight road in warrenton, virginia when I went to press the button that changes the display near the odometer from "odometer," "trip 1" miles, and "trip 2" miles. When I reached my hand bumped the ignition switch and everything in the vehicle shut off including the engine, power steering, and brakes. I had no control of the vehicle and it rolled to complete stop down the road we were driving on. Once it came to a complete stop, I restarted the vehicle and everything seemed alright so continued driving, had it looked at, and was told everything was fine. I believe that the ignition switch issues affect the 2001 Yukon xl 2500 and that it should be looked into further.

We have a problem with the abs system on our Yukon and the dealer insists that it is an isolated case but I have found multiple complaints online for the same problem. This problem is extremely dangerous since the vehicle has been designed to brake with much reliance on the abs system. By this I mean that the 2001 GMC Yukon does not have a brake proportioning valve that will redirect braking force towards the front brakes as the vehicle mass shifts forward under braking loads. This in turn causes the rear brakes to lock up prematurely under moderate to heavy brake application. It has nearly caused our SUV to roll-over on one occasion and frankly, we're afraid to simply sell it and pass the life threatening problem onto someone else. I am deeply dissappointed with GMC for not addressing this deadly problem in the western states and only claiming that "snow belt" state vehicles are affected. Please help us and others that have been through the ringer with multiple GMC dealership service centers that refuse to admit that there is a glaring problem. Thank you.

My complain is related to the already in effect recall for gm recall no. 06083. I want to request that another investigation be done. Due to the fact that I have been having the same type of problem with my 2001 GMC Yukon sle 5. 3l v8. The problem began a few years back in 2006 and until this present time, its getting worse as time passes by. When it happened the very first time I contacted gm and they obviously said that they had no reported incidents as the one that I was describing for my vehicle. Then when I saw the recall on the local news in 2007 I gave them a call back and again they claimed that no incidents were reported for my specific model and engine, so they brushed me off quickly as if I were just calling cause I had nothing else to do & was just looking to waste my time and theirs!. I have had a couple of incidents occur where the truck has stall while in drive and at a speed between 10 -40 mph on a southern California fwy (where you can always count on traffic congestion). My family members and myself have been very lucky to have escaped without injury. In trying to understand what's happening with my vehicle I came across many GMC owner forums were complains from people with my same engine and model SUV had been looking for the reason and solution what caused that vehicle behavior. My SUV has the same exact issues described in the following paragraph which I copied from the recall explanation : "the crankshaft position can operate intermittently or fail completely. If the sensor operates intermittently, the ses light may illuminate and the vehicle may run rough. The engine may stall, and if so, may re-start immediately or after a cool down period. " consequence: "if the sensor becomes completely inoperative, the engine will quit running and will not re-start. Either of these failures can increase the risk of a crash" investigate&help consumers.

The contact owns a 2001 GMC Yukon xl 2500. The contact stated that the pin box for the trailer hitch is supposed to be horizontal, but it is slightly bent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the pin box was bending/deforming. The hitch was replaced at 14,800 miles. The pin box is currently bending again. The trailer hitch is used six times per year to tow a trailer. The current mileage is 27,353 and failure mileage was 15,600.

On 8/7/2001 I took my GMC Yukon xl to the dealer and requested they replace my factory installed heavy duty trailer receiver hitch due to it bending up approximately 3" due to the torsion bars pulling up on the hitch to put more weight on the front wheels. I am towing a 26' hi-lo travel trailer that is considerably less weight than the GMC hitch is designed for. I have pulled this same trailer with the same trailer hitch ball, torsion bars, sway bars pulling it with my 1997 Ford explorer. The trailer hitch receiver never bent like the GMC receiver hitch did on my first trip to canada. I spoke to the service manager, mr. Holzhaver, and showed him both the GMC bent receiver hitch and the Ford explorer undamaged receiver hitch. He refused to replace the trailer hitch and said it was not covered under the factory warranty. The design of this trailer receiver hitch is unsafe and should not be able to bend up 3 inches when the torsion bars are installed. If the hitch breaks loose this 26' trailer could come loose causing a devastating accident on our highways. Your CO-operation in getting this hitch replaced and redesigned would be greatly appreciated.
