“We just took in to have vehicle looked and and said it was first the electrical and now is the membrane of the vehicle, causing the remote start and engine light to not work. Also causing the vehicle to cut out due to a problem in the fuel system. Looking up the VIN I see some of these vehicle has this issue but doesn't show under my VIN. Also have been told using tons of oil and this has been seen with the Gmc yukons. We just had a very expensive visit to the shop and want to know why this particular issues are not covered under the recalls for my vehicles VIN. …”
