Consumer Description

ON ALL 4 OCCASIONS, THE 2008 YUKON HYBRID, LUNGES FORWARD AT LOW SPEEDS, LOOSES BRAKES, POWER STEERING AND ALL POWER. EVERY TIME IT HAS TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE AUGUST 2008. THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE FUSE BOX, THEN WHILE THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AGAIN. THE DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT IS FIXED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. THE YUKON IS BACK AT THE DEALER AND I AM NOT TAKING IT BACK. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS RIGHT AWAY. I NOW HAVE AN ATTORNEY AND WE ARE CONTACTING GM AS WELL. *TR
