I VERY RARELY USE MY REAR GLASS HATCH OF MY 2004 YUKON, BUT RECENTLY WHEN HAVING TO LOAD UP MY YUKON TO EVACUATE HURRICANE GUSTAV. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT, I HEARD A LOAD POP AND NOTICED THAT THE LEFT REAR GLASS HINGE HAD BROKEN UP. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY HAVE THE REPLACEMENT IN STOCK, BUT SINCE THEY DO NOT DEEM IT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I FIND THIS SHOCKING SINCE THEY KNOW THAT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY KEEP THIS ITEM IN STOCK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CHARGE YOU $900 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2010 GMC YUKON SLT, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. A DISPLAY MESSAGE CAME ACROSS "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" . THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION, MOVED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE ALMOST STALLING OUT IN THE SHOULDER LANE. LUCKILY, I WAS CLOSE TO HOME . I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP, HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. ($602.00) . I WILL PICK UP THE VEHICLE TOMORROW HOPEFULLY IT IS FIXED. THIS IS SERIOUS MANUFACTURES DEFECT PLUS A COSTLY REPAIR. AS I RESEARCHED INFORMATION I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS GM PRODUCT THAT CAN LEAD TO DISASTROUS ENDING. HOPEFULLY, THE NHTSA WILL DO THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION ON THE THROTTLE BODY'S AND DISCOVER THAT THIS IS PART MUST BE RECALLED BEFORE FATALITIES OCCUR!!. *TR
