2000 Gmc Yukon problems
The Chevrolet Tahoe, and its badge-engineered GMC Yukon counterpart, are full-size SUVs and other trucks from General Motors, offered since 1994 and 1991, respectively. Since 1982, Chevrolet and GMC sold two different-sized SUVs under their "Blazer" and "Jimmy" nameplates, by introducing the smaller S-10 Blazer and GMC S-15 Jimmy for the 1983 model year, below the full-size Blazer and Jimmy models. This situation lasted into the early 1990s. GMC first rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the "Yukon" in 1991. Chevrolet however waited until 1994, when they rebadged the redesigned mid-size S-10 Blazer the "new Blazer," while renaming the full-size Blazer as the "Tahoe." The name Tahoe refers to the rugged and scenic area surrounding Lake Tahoe in the western United States, and was originally used as a trim level on S-10 models. The name Yukon refers to the Yukon territory of northern Canada.
For the 1995 model year, the Tahoe and Yukon gained a new, longer four-door model, slotting in size between the two-door models and the longer-wheelbase Chevrolet/GMC Suburbans.
The Tahoe is sold in North America, parts of Asia such as the Philippines, and the Middle East, plus other countries including Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Angola as a left-hand-drive vehicle. The Yukon is only sold in North America and the Middle East.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon are part of General Motors' full-size SUV family and are differentiated from the similar Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL primarily by the length of the passenger and cargo area behind the C-pillar. An upscale trim GMC Denali sub-model joined the Yukon lineup as the top-of-the-line trim for the 1999 model year; the Cadillac Escalade is a closely related upscale version sharing the same platform. The Denali is available on both standard and XL versions.
The Tahoe has regularly been the best-selling full-size SUV in the United States, frequently outselling its competition by two to one.

Common 2000 Gmc Yukon problems
The GMC Yukon, a large SUV produced by General Motors, is known for its reliability. However, like any vehicle, it can develop certain problems over time. This article will discuss common problems with the GMC Yukon 2000, based on complaints from owners of this car.
- Interior Accessories and Parts: Many Yukon owners have brought up many issues regarding their SUV’s accessories and interior parts. The 2000 GMC Yukon drew a significant number of complaints related to its accessories and interior. However, the 2000 model year comes close, with loud noises from the dashboard being the most widely reported problem in this category. The 2000 GMC Yukon dashboard covers numerous cables, wires, and other parts. When one of these parts gets loose, it may vibrate as the car is running and make clicking or rattling noises. The electronic accessories in Yukons of the same model year may also act up. Many owners have expressed frustration with the model’s climate control panel, console phone, front camera, and USB charging ports refusing to work.
- Transmission Troubles: Problems involving the GMC Yukon transmission are not as common as the previous categories. However, they can hamper the SUV’s road performance and increase the risk of a car accident by making it harder or even impossible to switch gears. It should come as no surprise that several units from the 2000 model year received the most complaints about its transmission. Owners have reported issues like hesitation, vibration, and jerking. Others have noted that their transmission tends to switch to 4WD without warning, making turning dangerous.
In conclusion, while the GMC Yukon is a reliable SUV, it can develop various problems over the years. Common issues include faulty lights, problems with interior accessories and parts, and transmission troubles. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help ensure the longevity and reliability of the vehicle.

I HAVE CALLED GM CORP AND BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES OVER THAT PAST TWO YEARS AS MORE CARS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO RECALL LISTS THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE; NOW GM CORPORATE SAYS THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL (NECESSARY TO AVOID LOW SPEED CRASHES) WAS ACTUALLY NEVER PERFORMED AND GM CORPORATE CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH DEALERSHIPS IN THE DC AREA AND GM CORPORATE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS (EXCEEDING 10 TOTAL CALLS) SINCE THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS LEFT TO PERFORM ON THIS YUKON. PRESUMABLY THE HEADREST RECALL I BROUGHT IT INTO KOONS IN MANASSAS, VA AS A SECOND AFTERTHOUGHT TO THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL WAS THE ONLY THING THEY ENDED UP DOING OTHER THAN GIVING ME AN ESTIMATE FOR OVER $3300 FOR WORK THAT HAS NEVER NEEDED TO BE DONE. MY UNANSWERED QUESTION TO GM CORPORATE WAS "I'S THIS HOW YOUR GOING TO HANDLE THE IGNITION RECALLS?" ADDITIONALLY, GM CLAIMS TO BE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHETHER MY IGNITION SWITCH IS THE SAME IN DESIGN AS ANY OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. DO AMERICANS CITIZENS NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST THAT MUCH "PROPRIETARY"-PROTECTED INFORMATION FROM GM? GM CORPORATE'S SPECIALIST CLAIMED TO OBJECT TO MY MENTIONING THAT I, TOO, MIGHT RECORD THE CALL. KOONS ALSO NEVER NOTICED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BROKEN OUT THE ABS LIGHT BECAUSE PRIOR TO THE RECALL (WHICH SHOULD HAVE LATER TIPPED ME OFF THAT THEY DID NOT ACTUALLY CLEAN THE WHEEL SENSOR AND CHECK THE ABS LIGHT SINCE IT WAS NOT ON THE $3300 ESTIMATE OF NECESSARY REPAIRS), BECAUSE NOBODY REALLY KNEW THEN WHY THE ABS LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A RETALIATORY ACT. I MENTIONED TO KOONS SND GM CORPORATE BEFORE SERVICE THAT I WAS DISABLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2004-04-05
- VIN: 3GKEC16T8YG
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: THE FIRST TIME THE ABS EBCU FAILED WE HAD ONLY OWNED THE CAR A FEW YEARS. WE FIGURED OUT SOMETHING WAS WRONG BY THE CONTINUOUS GROWLING BUZZ UNDER THE VEHICLE. WE HAD TO FULL THE FUSE TO DISCONNECT THE UNIT TO PREVENT IT FROM RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY WHILE WE TRIED TO LEARN EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG. ----------- ON THE GOOD SIDE, THE CAR RUNS FINE WITHOUT IT. ON THE BAD SIDE, EBCU REPLACEMENT IS A RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. GM CHARGES $1400 FOR THE STUPID PART, THE TOTAL WAS JUST UNDER $2000 BY THE TIME ALL WAS DONE.----------- IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF THE EBCU WAS SOME GREAT INVENTION THAT REALLY IMPROVED THE HUMAN CONDITION. IT IS NOT. NOT ONLY DOES IT NEVER HELP, IT IS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS.---------- ANY TIME YOU TRY TO STOP ON BUMPY ROADS THE EBCU FIGHTS YOU. MANY TIMES I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DRIVE INTO AN ACCIDENT AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE THERE WAS A BUMP AND THEN THE STUPID ABS UNIT WOULD NOT LET ME BRAKE. IT FORCES THE BRAKE PEDAL UP AND LETS THE CAR ROLL FORWARD WHEN I AM FRANTICALLY TRYING TO STOP THE CAR.---------- HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE WISHED I DIDN'T HAVE POWER BRAKES AT ALL! ---------- THE REASON I FOUND THIS WEBSITE IS BECAUSE NOW AT 130782 THE STUPID THING HAS FAILED AGAIN. NOW WITHOUT A WARRANTY, BUT WITH THE INTERNET, I LEARNED HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF THIS UNIT. THERE ARE MANY PAGES ABOUT IT AMONG GM CAR ENTHUSIAST GROUPS, AND EVEN EBAY AUCTIONS OFFERING TO FIX THE THINGS! ---------- THE EBCU IS IN A TIGHT SPOT YOU CAN ONLY GET TO WITH ONE HAND WHILE LYING UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND A QUART OF BRAKE FLUID DRIPS OUT ON YOU AS YOU SEQUENTIALLY UNDO THE 5 BRAKE LINES THAT LEAD TO THE UNIT.---------- MY GENERAL OPINION ABOUT AUTO DESIGN IS THAT WHOEVER APPROVES THE FINAL DESIGN OF SOME PART SHOULD HAVE TO CHANGE ONE OF THEM AT HOME WITH TOOLS COMMONLY AVAILABLE TO AN AVERAGE CITIZEN! *TR

- Summary: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CLEARANCE CONDITION BETWEEN THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL THAT COULD DECREASE TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING CONTACT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF CONTACT OCCURS AND THE BRAKE PIPE BECOMES DAMAGED, IN HALF OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM THERE CAN BE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PRESSURE. THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP WILL BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL REACHES THE INDICATOR LIMIT.
- Consequence: DURING BRAKING, THE PEDAL WILL BE LOWER THAN NORMAL AND STOPPING DISTANCES WILL BE LONGER. IF THIS OCCURS WHEN STOPPING DISTANCE IS LIMITED, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
- Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE FOR WEAR. IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF WEAR, THIS SECTION OF THE BRAKE PIPE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW DESIGNED BRAKE PIPE SECTION. IF THERE ARE NOT SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE BRAKE PIPE, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A SPACER CLIP TO ENSURE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL.
