2001 GMC Yukon XL fuel system problems

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I ALSO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE PARKING BRAKE AND ABS. IF MORE PEOPLE COMPLAIN MAYBE THERE WILL BE ACTION TAKEN. I DO HAVE A FUEL MODULE RECALL THAT I HOPE IS GOING TO BE CORRECTED. THERE ARE SOME DEALERS THAT DO NOT WANT TO EVEN CORRECT YOUR SAFETY RECALL. I AM HAVING TO TRAVEL AN HOUR AND A HALF TO A DEALER OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE MY LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH ME.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

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.

LEAKING FUEL PUMP AND STRONG SMELL OF GAS INSIDE OF CAR

NHTSA complaint #10121717 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON 2001 GMC YUKON XL, THE CAR BEGAN STALLING WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE OR WHEN IDLING AT RED LIGHTS, ETC. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH COMPLAINT. WE WERE TOLD IT NEEDED THE FUEL INJECTION SERVICE. WE HAD THIS DONE AT A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THE NEXT TIME WE REFUELED THE VEHICLE, WE SMELLED GAS AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS LEAKING FUEL. NOW ANY TIME WE COMPLETELY FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, IT LEAKS AND YOU CAN SMELL GAS FOR A FEW DAYS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS COMPLAINT, THE CAR WAS THEN OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTED $250 JUST TO LOOK AT THE GAS TANK TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. WE DENIED THAT SERVICE. WE WERE MADE AWARE OF A POSSIBLE PROBLEM THROUGH AN ARTICLE IN THE ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION ON 9/14/04.
