“My new 2003 Yukon Xl has an absolutely intolerable cab reverberation problem ! This defect causes the driver and passengers a thumping ear pain ! I literally cannot drive 1 block without a thumping sensation in my ears. This vehicle was left at the dealer for 4 days, only to be told that the service department could not fix the problem ! Of course, I was not satisfied ! This vehicle was only two weeks old ! I was informed by the service department that I would have to live with this until the GM engineers could find a fix. …”
