| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2003 gmc yukon denali had just over 63,000 miles on the odometer. i am the original owner of the vehicle. the majority of the driving has been on paved roads/highways. the hub assemblies (both sides) began making a noise in march of 2006. since the vehicle was out of warranty, i took it to a local certified auto repair facility and had them look at it. they told me that both front wheel hub assemblies were in immediate need of replacement and that there was a danger in driving the vehicle. i had the work done on march 22, 2006. to the best of my knowledge the failed parts are still available. i contacted the bbb who, in turn, referred me to the gmc customer service office. after contacting these people they file a report #1-408898915. they indicated to me that gmc would do nothing for me due to the facts that the vehicle was out of warranty and that i had not used a gmc dealer for the repair work. the repairs were #613.59. the dealer would have charged me approximately $1,000 for this same work. they did give me the address of the gmc divisional office in michigan and suggested that i contact them to see if they will do anything for me. i will do this, but i have not done this yet as i do not anticipate a positive result from my efforts. i feel that this is a defect of the parts and/or vehicle. especially since both the brakes and the tires out lasted the wheel assemblies. there should be an "implied warranty" that major components like these have a life expectancy that exceeds the written warranty. *nm |
