Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My youkon would not start intermittently. I had it towed to courtesy chevrolet and they gave me an estimate for $1500 to replace the fuel tank and pump module. I could not believe a truck only 4 years old already needed a new fuel tank. So I searched the NHTSA database for similar complaints, and found that other people are having the same issue except it is being caused by shorted pump wires in the gas tank. I was able to drive the truck home and removed the gas tank myself so I could get to the bottom of this. …”
NHTSA complaint #10063955, filed 2004-03, 72,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10010823, filed 2003-03, 50,000 miles“Fuel pump is whistling and fuel leak is apparent when parked overnight in garage. Already replaced one pump at 96,000 miles. Already had service on the melted wires 2 years ago. Can GM provide the cost of the GM brand fuel pump so it can be replaced?”
NHTSA complaint #10188481, filed 2007-04, 190,000 miles“The vehicle would stall without warning. Typically, the stall would occur while the vehicle was cold, or during turns at intersections-going from one roadway to another. Dealers response has been a dirty throttle body, code j5485”
NHTSA complaint #10105623, filed 2005-01, 29,797 miles“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). …”
