THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2000 YUKON WOULD NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS CONDITION EXISTED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW.

IT WOULD ONLY HOLD THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. AFTER TWO YEARS OF THE PARKING BRAKE NOT HOLDING I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE AND INQUIRED ONE MORE TIME ABOUT THE PARKING BR…

Owner report 10058812 · 2004-02-24 (February 24, 2004)
THE FIRST TIME MY ENGINE STALLED WAS BACK IN 2001 ON THE MIDDLE OF THE 101 FREEWAY IN LOS ANGELES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT HAD TO DO WITH A CHIP. THEY REPLACED THE CHIP AND I HAVEN'T HAD A STALLING PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE PARKING LOT AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY. I AM VERY UPSET THAT SOMETHING SO SERIOUS HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I HAVE THE HEATER OR AC ON AND IF I COME TO A STOP.*AK

MY 2000 YUKON HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE STALLING DURING BRAKING AND TURNS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2001 WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. THE PROBLEM IS NOW SEVERE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MORE TIMES THAN YOU AND I HAVE FINGERS AND TOES. I CANNOT TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NOR CAN I FIND A MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP (HA HA ) THAT CAN FIND OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE INTAKE MOTOR OR THE INTAKE GAS…

Owner report 10408670 · 2011-06-23 (June 23, 2011)
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2000 YUKON A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, AND WHILE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN NOT TWO MILES FROM OUR HOME, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME, AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER I AM INCREDIBLY WORRIED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, AND MY INFANT SON SITS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. NOT ONLY WOULD THE INCREDIBLY LOUD 'GUNSHOT' SOUND HAVE POSSIBLY DAMAGED HIS EARS, BUT THE SMOKY…
