Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Passenger and both rear seat power windows quite working at the same time. This could possibly be a danger in case of an accident. I have found numerous complaints of this problem on 2000 yukons. Throttle pedal sticks and you have to use excessive pressure to unstick it. This causes you to move forward or backward at a high rate of speed. This is an accident waiting to happen as you start off or are in a busy parking lot. Could cause injury to pedesterian or small child. I have also seen numerous complaints of this problem filed on 2000 yukons. …”

NHTSA complaint #10064193, filed 2004-03, 48,000 miles

“Rear seat belts in 2000 Gmc yukons fail to retract, providing no safety for children in the rear seat when seated in child restraint seats that are not semi-permanently mounted in the rear with the seat belt threaded through them. Child seats that use the seat belt as the primary restraining device are useless when the belts do not tighten. This is a known problem to Gmc and the dealer has repaired and/or replaced the seat belt on several occassions. The dealer's recommendation is to not pull the belt out all the way because it may not retract - sometimes hard to enforce with children. …”

“Front passenger seat belt continually retracts while the vehicle is in motion pinning the passenger to the seat. To releave pressure passenger must unbuckle and reposition buckle. To compensate dealer installed an extension but still didn't correct problem and created a new one for passengers under 200lb. With extension buckle is in the middle of occupants abdomin along with the shoulder belt. Leaving only the lap belt to restrain passenger.”
