1. Rims are showing signs of corrosion,flaking and blistering of the chrome on the aluminum rims. 2. Vehicle has new battery installed and is being drained some how while the navigation and radio seem to be operating while the vehicle is off. This problem results into a dead battery after vehicle is parked for a several minutes. *note: no solution at this time has fixed the problems listed. I have read hundreds of complaints of this nature and a quick response would be greatly appreciated.

Off and on since last year I have had problems with my electrical system. Just out of the blue the check engine light will come on and the "reduce engine speed" message will show up on the dashboard. And my speed will shut down and the vehicle will only go about 25mph. We had taken it in to a shop and they were unable to find the issue and said it was just a low battery. Well after replacing the battery it continues to do this off and on. Once the car is shut off and restarted it would be fine until the next incident. Now while doing research on this issue I have read that many people are having this problem. Some people have experienced this while on the freeway going 65mph. The engine will just reduce speed automatically. Why is this not a recall for safety reasons? what has to be done for there to be a recall on this issue?.

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.

Our 2009 GMC Yukon denali was totaled in a crash. The battery was destroyed ,cutting all electrical power to the vehicle. The doors,which automatically lock when in drive, were locked, and in her confusion could not exit the vehicle. The communications equipment was also useless. There needs to be a backup battery in a less vulnerable location.

While driving at 65 mph, the Yukon just shut down and the battery light came on. Got to shoulder of road, put it in park, turn of the ignition and started it right back up. Did it again, 15 minutes later - same results. The next 7 times, the car at low speed (15-20 mph) started acting like it wasn't getting gas and running rough, not pulling. Pulled of road. Would turn over and try to start and if it started, was very rough. After about 15 minutes, the Yukon started like nothing was wrong and would run for 10-15 minutes. This also happened to me in June. Took to an independent mechanic who could find nothing wrong. Happened to my parents in 2006 in this vehicle traveling to mississippi. GMC dealer could find nothing wrong. Currently the dealer wants to change the fuel pump. I have researched and others with this problem have replaced the fuel pump and it doesn't stop happening. Speedometer just failed too. Wonder if it could be an electronics/electrical problem.

Heated seat module failed and instead of just not working it stayed on, ran my battery down, caused my seat to get really hot to the touch and I was concerned about it catching fire. If a module is faulty it should shut off not stay on and caused the possibility of a fire and run your battery down. Gm had to disconnect the seat module to get it to go off. They want $481 to fix and could not guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. I paid them $150 to disconnect and this way I know it won't happen again. This is a safety issue, my Yukon could have burned up. . . . . After buying a new battery (since this caused the other one to go bad)I had to disconnect the battery until I could get it to carl black to disconnect permanently.

: the contact stated the battery leaked acid causing the positive cable to become corroded. The vehicle was towed to a dealer for inspection, where it was determined the battery and cable would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was alerted.

I am concerned that GMC is neglecting a serious issue that could cause car fires. I called GMC 800)462-8782 and spoke with stacy whaples today. She was not the least concerned that this is a repeat problem that could cause serious injury. The original a/c delco was replaced on this new vehicle around 1 1/2 years and again the same problem with this vehicle 2 3/4 years later. Why is it a 6 year warranty if you cannot even get half of that out of it safely. After the first replacement GMC said I am not eligible for any warranty regardless if it is a defect or not. Furthermore, at least 5 people I know with the GMC SUV's ( Yukon's & envoy's) that have the battery manufactured by : a/c delco with the connection on the side leaks batter acid and cause corrosion on the terminal and the cables. The dealer told me that I only needed to replace the battery. I am not satisfied that this is safe and that the cables are going to be safe. Several dealers have acknowledged that this is a problem with the design a/c delco battery. This is the 2nd time it has leaked, the property damage marked below is ?- I do not know what else is damaged below or around the spot where the battery resides?.

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.

Vehicle having multiple problems with seatbelts. 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.

Dec 24 2004 I returned to my parked car and started the engine, the front defrost blowers went to high speed and would not shut off. At my next stop I stopped and restarted the car several times but the fan kept running. Removing the keys opening the door did nothing. After removing the fuse to the front havc the fan stopped but started again when the fuse was re-installed. After returning home I disconnected the battery for a half hour the fan stayed off, the controls worked properly. Dec 28th stopping for gas, I turned the car off but the fan cam on again at full speed. I checked on line and it seems several people are having the same problem but the dealers have not come up with a fix. At this time I have pulled the fuse to keep the fan from blowing but it's too cold to be driving with no heat or defrost in the car. When I get home where I have tools I will again disconnect the battery.

Battery acid was leaking out of the truck and onto the driveway. The third battery was installed because of this problem.

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.

My vehicle was serviced by this facility. I am the second owner and have owned this vehicle for less than 1 year. The orig. Owner purchases all vehicles from them for his construction company and maintains them regularly, as I have. I had the part and was told this was not thee problem. This vehicle had a 60,000 mile service brakes and new tires when I bought it. They charged me $1400 and 11 hrs. Labor for these repairs that should take no longer than 3. I am a single mom who was assured they would only fix the things required by gm dealer and I could get minor things done at my regular mechanic. Now they want me to come back and spend another $800. 00 dollars on the air conditioner. I will ask for a full refund or at least half my money back for bad faith and fraudulous activity on the part of a servicing business. I'm a single mom living paycheck to paycheck and they took full advantage of me. Please make sure that I and other innocent trusting people don't get taken by this particular truck center ever again. I f you would like to see a copy of my receipt I would be more than happy to provide that to you. I have paid the $1400 and do not have the additional $1000 they want to complete the repair they say I need. I realize this vehicle is superior but that's why I spent the extra money and serviced it regularly because I thought I was paying for a quality car. The warranty they say is no longer valid. Help!! I will also be contactinf my local consumer advocat as ell as the media. Thank you for your time! sincerely, shannon thompson (state farm insurance company c a. Lic. #0d54268 ) no referrals from me or my CO-workers that's for sure.

Battery positive terminal cracked and pulled out of battery causing acid to leak and could have caused a fire. Dealership said they have seen alot of this samething happening to batteries installed at factories. This hasn't happened just to Yukon but also other GMC products.

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.

The metal hydraulic brake line running from the master cylinder to the passenger side front disc brake assembly ruptured, causing the vehicle to lose its braking power while the vehicle was being driven. This line crosses the front of the vehicle and then runs on top of the frame just under where the battery is located. After inspecting and finding the hole it was very apparent that battery acid/corrosion had dripped onto the line,, causing it to be eaten away. The battery is orginal equipment and maintanance free.

Had parked vehicle. Left for awhile & then returned & tried starting vehicle. Would not start. Checked under hood & noticed battery acid had dripped down the side of truck. The battery had a hole in it. The battery was one that came with the vehicle. Will be taking vehicle back to dealer to have it checked.

Battery positive post corroded due to acid leak. Battery has been replaced.
