- inaccurate fuel level readings everytime the gas tank is full - anytime the truck is driven or in park it shows the empty and the low fuel light will come on and stays on until the vehicle is driven over a bump or something. - I looked on line and I noticed that there has been already a service recall issued but not for the Yukon, its for the Yukon xl however I contacted GMC and I explained that I am experiencing the same issue as the xl, there response was that there is no recall been issued for the Yukon. With in mind that both of these vehicle lines use or share most of their parts.

Our gas gauge on our 2000 GMC Yukon completely quit working. Took it in thinking it was an electrical problem and found out the fuel pump was broken. The problem that cost us a lot of money was that the fuel pump is located inside the gas tank and they had to replace the whole gas tank to fix the problem. First, why would this happen on a car this new with only around 50,000 miles and second, why put the fuel pump inside the gas tank so that it is so expensive to fix?.

2003 Yukon xl would die like it was out of gas when it still had at least 1/4 tank or it would not start when it had at least 1/4 tank of gas but if you added 1 - 5 gallons of gas it would start. Took to dealer and they said the fuel pump had low pressure and they replaced fuel sending unit. Seems to be fine now. Dealer stated they had not seen any other vehicles with this problem but I know of at least 4 other gm SUV's that are having the same problem in the small town that I live in.

The contact stated in may 2005 fuel pump failed on 2001 GMC Yukon xl 1500. He had the fuel pump replaced with a new one. When he pulled the old one out he noticed that the wires were burned and melted together. He called gm, and they told him they would issue a recall in November. The consumer thought this was not right because that was six months away.

Dt:consumer states: vehicle lost power going down highway at 70 mph, vehicle lost brakes, lights, gas. Can't do anything. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer replaced fuel pump. Normally happens when it is warm outside.

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. The light clunk noise in the steering, low voltage, and insufficient fuel pressure on aceleration intermittently.

Replaced, but the fuel gauge not working. 3rd time just happened 1 Dec 04. Waiting in drive through for a coffee truck died. No fuel to engine (full tank, filled night before.

My 2001 GMC Yukon xl has suffered from the fuel system problem made the subject of the recent recall by gm. The system has failed three times and left my wife and children stranded on interstate 45 and in galveston, TX. We have had to have the vehicle towed twice to gm dealerships with one dealership keeping the vehicle for a week without diagnosing the problem. The only solution these "certified" mechanics could think to do was replace the fuel pump, while I knew all along there had to be some kind of short in the fuel sending system. I have spent over $1,000. 00 in repairs and towing charges and I still don't believe my vehicle has been properly repaired. I contacted gm about the recall and they have refused to include my Yukon in the recall because they say it doesn't have the right VIN number. When my vehicle has suffered from the very problem made the subject of the recall on at least three different occassions, how could gm exclude it from the recall because of a VIN number. Obviously gm has failed to properly notify the NHTSA of all of the vehicles affected by the fuel delivery system problem, probably in an effort to minimize costs. However, it is the consumers like me that are at risk when gm refuses to acknowledge their responsibility and liability for manufacturing defective products. My GMC Yukon xl needs to be included in the recall and gm's recall list needs to be expanded to include all affected cars, not just the ones they pick and choose. My wife and kids safety are at issue here.

When driving the vehicle at any speed, the vehicle would stall. This caused the driver to drift to the side of the road. The consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The mechanic informed the owner that the fuel pump had failed. All the power steering and brakes were lost. This same part was previously replace at gm by the original owner.

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.

While driving at 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The driver tried to restart the vehicle but was unable to do so. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Please provide further details. The consumer was almost rear ended by a dump truck as a result of the engine shuting down while driving.

When pumping gas in the gas tank, the gas would leaks from the filler pipe. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. The mechanic informed the owner that the wiring harness has melted from the fuel pump.

Complete loss of power on the highway while driving 65 mph. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a fuse and faulty fuel pump but could not gaurantee that the problem would not recurr.

The contact owns a 1999 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the fuel pump failed at least seven times. The vehicle would stall without warning while traveling at any given speed. The vehicle would not restart when the failure would occur and would have to be towed to her place of residence. Initially, the fuel pump was replaced by the dealer under the factory warranty. All other repairs were made by an independent mechanic. The were no recalls on the vehicle and was outside of the warranty. The VIN was not available at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 144,000.

When filling the vehicle with fuel a leak has developed underneath. Consumer has scheduled an appointment with the dealer.

While driving, vehicle stalled without warning. Upon inspection, dealer discovered that electrical wires located inside of fuel pump were completely exposed causing them to melt.

Noticed on several occasions that vehicle seemed to be leaking fuel when parked and turned off. Most recent case occurred shortly after refueling. Dealer diagnosed as a "cracked fuel sending unit". Apparently this allows fuel to be spewed out of the tank when parked. Dealer indicated that it wasn't covered by warranty due to mileage. Co-worker discussed almost identical problem with his Yukon xl (except his spewed more fuel into his garage and need to be cleaned-up by hazmat team). This appears to be more than a random occurrence of a problem that has significant safety and environmental implications. I believe further investigation (by the NHTSA and general motors) is warranted.

2000 GMC Yukon xl. Fuel leak in my garage after filling gas tank. Leaked at least 6-8 gallons of fuel into garage. Service facility diagnosed problem to be faulty plunger in fuel pump. Very dangerous, since my garage contains gas hot water heater with pilot. Hazardous material cleanup (required by fire department) cost $1600.

I own a 2000 GMC Yukon xl. Over the past few months, I have had a problem with the vehicle continually blowing a fuse (ecm b fuse). Upon my own research into the circuitry, I determined the likely problem was the fuel pump. I replaced the fuel pump and upon removing and inspecting the old component, I discovered the hot wire (gray wire) which operates the pump motor had been hot enough to melt the insulation off the wire. Moreover, this hot wire had melted into one of the wires of the fuel level sending unit, which is a ground circuit. The problem I would like to bring to light here is that the fuel pump unit is inside the fuel tank. When this hot wire came into contact with the other wire, I assume there was a spark, or the potential for one. Why didn't my vehicle explode? I know there are thousands of these vehicles on the road, but I have not heard of any such explosions. I do know of another gm vehicle that had the same problem of exposed wires in the fuel tank. Please advise me of the danger level should this happen again. Thank you.

The vehicle stalled. The dealer diagnosed the problem as bad bare wires inside of fuel pump. The wires shorted which caused vehicle to stall.

The fuel pump overheated to the point where it melted the wire to the top of the tank, then proceeded to melt a whole in the connector going to the gas tank.

Fuel tank/filler assembly causes vapors to backup into gas pumps equipped with vapor reclamation systems. This causes a gas pump so equipped to shutoff prematurily when refilling the vehicles fuel tanks from any percentage of capicity. There for, filling the tank becomes especially time consuming, frusturating and potentially hazardeous as one is constantly trying to override the systems automatic shutoff inorder to put any reasonable quantity of gallons into the vehicles fuel tank. It becomes difficult to know whether the gas pumps auto shutoff is being triggered by fuel backup due to tank design problems or the tank actually starting to overfill. This issue primarely occurs with the 38. 5 gallon fuel tank.

Engine was running and in park when it stalled. Towed to dealer, fuel pump intake assembly was replaced.

The consumer stated three years ago she had to replace the fuel pump. The fuel pump has been replaced five times in the last three years. The second time the pump was replaced the wires were burned. The wires were replaced. Gm told her to take the vehicle to a gm dealership and they would pay for the fuel pump, but not the labor.
