WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR I KNEW THAT THEIR WERE SOME ISSUES THAT WOULD COME ABOUT, BUT I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE RADIO WILL GO OFF AND MY WINDOWS WILL NOT WORK, WIPERS WON'T WORK, MY DASH LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AND THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK AT ALL SOMETIMES IT LAST UP TO HOURS BEFORE I CAN GET THEM TO COME. I CAN TURN THE CAR ON AN TRY TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT WONT WORK IT TAKES ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX THESE ISSUES WITH MY CAR, I LOVE IT VERY MUCH AND WILL BE UPSET IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO HER. SO FAR SO GOOD NO ACCIDENTS TO REPORT THIS TIME HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME THE SAME IF THERE IS A NEXT. *TR

I HAVE JUST BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. WHEN DRIVING IT SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS FISHTAILING, GOING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD. THE ENGINE MAKES A GARGLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND IT GETS EVEN LOUDER WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE WIPERS WORK WHEN AND HOW THEY WANT TO WORK; IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU PUT THEM ON. I HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE AT ALL, I LOOKED INFORMATION UP ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE PURCHASING AND IT IS NOT LIKE THE INFORMATION STATED. *TR

I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TO TURN LEFT AND MY GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WOUND UP REARENDING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES DID NOT WANT TO ENGAGE. *TR

HIT WALL AT LOW SPEED DUE TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM INCORRECTLY ACTIVATED. SAME CONDITION HAS SINCE OCCURRED STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2000 YUKON DENALI. IT ISN'T COVERED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE05020. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED MY ACCIDENT. *TR
