| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2001 gmc yukon xl has suffered from the fuel system problem made the subject of the recent recall by gm. the system has failed three times and left my wife and children stranded on interstate 45 and in galveston, tx. we have had to have the vehicle towed twice to gm dealerships with one dealership keeping the vehicle for a week without diagnosing the problem. the only solution these "certified" mechanics could think to do was replace the fuel pump, while i knew all along there had to be some kind of short in the fuel sending system. i have spent over $1,000.00 in repairs and towing charges and i still don't believe my vehicle has been properly repaired. i contacted gm about the recall and they have refused to include my yukon in the recall because they say it doesn't have the right vin number. when my vehicle has suffered from the very problem made the subject of the recall on at least three different occassions, how could gm exclude it from the recall because of a vin number. obviously gm has failed to properly notify the nhtsa of all of the vehicles affected by the fuel delivery system problem, probably in an effort to minimize costs. however, it is the consumers like me that are at risk when gm refuses to acknowledge their responsibility and liability for manufacturing defective products. my gmc yukon xl needs to be included in the recall and gm's recall list needs to be expanded to include all affected cars, not just the ones they pick and choose. my wife and kids safety are at issue here. |
