NHTSA Complaint #10156804 — 2002 GMC YUKON XL

IN MAY 2005 MY VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION DUE TO PARKING BRAKE COULD NOT HOLD VEHICLE. PRIOR TO HAVING THE REPAIRS DONE I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. I THEN HAD THE PLACE WHERE THE INSPECTION WAS DONE REPAIR THE VEHICLE. IN APRIL OF 2006 I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE SQUEAKING WHEN I WAS IN REVERSE. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THE BACK PADS THAT WERE REPLACED LAST YEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A 2002 GMC YUKON I BOUGHT NEW IN 2001. IT HAS 56000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS MANY PROBLEMS. THE GM REP WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN. *NM
