A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
ABS brakes; when applied on several occasions, pedal goes to floor and then respond. Computer chip doesn't acknowledge failure. Please decribe details. Tt
Faulty transfer case output shaft snap-ring. #12470554. This ring has failed three times in three years. GM can't tell me why the ring fails. Cost about $250 to replace this $6.00 item.
I own a 1994 GMC yukon and the windshield wipers quit working without warning. Sometimes they will start working on their own, sometimes you have to tug on them to get them to start up again. The recall says 1994 to 1997 but I have not received a letter. GM says my VIN is not included. This is a joke, there is definately a defect and this is very dangerous as I drive 68 miles a day.
