1997 GMC YUKON Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE. AFTER PUSHING THE TRUCK HOME AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION CASING WAS CRACKED. THE COST TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED ONE WAS APPROXIMATELY $2200.00 , NOT INCLUDIND LABOR. THE CRACKED TRANSMISSION IS STILL AVAILABLE.*AK

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 140,000 MILES, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT CLUTCHES OR BANDS, BUT A "HARDENED" PART IN THE TAIL SHAFT, SINCE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, THE REPLACEMENT WOULD NOT UP SHIFT, AND I AM NOT SURE I CAN TRUST THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO PERFORM LIKE IT SHOULD, I THINK GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, IF WE HAVE PARTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST FOREVER BREAKING, IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY HAVE A RELIABILITY PROBLEM!! I THINK THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT! *JB

ANY RECOURSE AVAILABLE WITH MANUFACTER? NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

OUR RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY NO RECALL? NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT WE HEARD A ROAR IN THE REAR END. THE REAR END WAS REPLACE UNDER THE 3YR/36000MILE WARRANTY. SOON AFTER THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. JUST RECENTLY WE TOOK A TRIP AND TOWED OUR 18FT. SKI BOAT WITH US. WHEN WE RETURNED MY WIFE NOTICED A PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. WE HAD NO REVERSE AND THAT PROVED TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. WE CONTACED THE CLOSEST DEALRER TO US: MIKE MORGAN SHREVEPORT, LA. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WERE SO BACKED UP WITH TRANMISSION PROBLEMS THAT IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THEY COULD PICK UP THE TRUCK TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. THEN THEY WOULD TELL ME WHAT THEY THOUGHT. WELL, I PAID $25,000 FOR A VEHICLE TO SIT WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THEY THINK I WILL LET IT SIT WHILE...

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES. AAMCO MECHANIC INDICATES IT WAS A TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH GMC AND CHEVROLET VEHICLES AT 35K TO 90K MILES. I HAVE SINCE SPOKEN WITH FOUR PERSONS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME TROUBLE. GMC DENIES TROUBLE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. IS THERE A LARGE NUMBER OF FAILURES OCCURRING.*AK

ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP IN MCDONOUGH, GA THAT FIXED THIS TRUCK THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON AT ALL THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMISSION - EST COST $2000.00 TO FIX. *AK

RE: TRANSMISSION. REPLACED WHEN THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT, THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FAILED, I WAS TOLD, AS THE DIRECT RESULT OF TOWING A 7,300 POUND RV ON FLAT TERRAIN IN OVERDRIVE. MY OWNER'S MANUAL STATES I MAY TOW IN OVERDRIVE. I PAID. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION STILL CLUNKS EVERYTIME I START DRIVING THE CAR FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION FAILED.
