#685 of 719 Re: GM vehicle is a 4 wheeled problem by skytop1 Jan 03, 2009 (5:00 pm)
Replying to: circlew (Jan 03, 2009 1:29 pm) I had my '07 Lemon law'd after months of grueling battles and mediations with GM and their phoney mediatator. All mediation ended when my vehicle broke down and GM could NOT repair it. It rotted at the dealership for almost 4 months. GM informed me they would repurchase the vehicle under state lemon law. But it was a total farce designed to defraud the public and give only a superficial sense of justice. In reality, they purchased the vehicle from me at a huge discount stating "mileage depreciation charges." Think you then get paid in cash? Think again! You are given the opportunity to purchase another GM crapbox at LIST price. You are not even entitled to any existing discounts or rebates!!!!!!!!!!!! I was outraged. I had to fight with GM just to get them to at least honor and accept my GM Card earnings!!! What a low life operation GM really is. Meanwhile, the replacement vehicle turned out to be another 4 wheel problem. After much deliberation, I bit the bullet, took a huge depreciation loss on the '08 and purchased a FOREIGN car. I am now enjoying a well made, high mpg vehicle that works without problems. . Good luck to all those folks who have been suckered into buying a GM product. They will need that and more.

Replying to: DenaliHam (Jan 02, 2009 8:28 pm) A few basic things I would try if I am in your situation, if you not already: 1. Does the system respond/operate when you add weight to the rear of the vehicle (i.e. start the engine, open the tailgate and sit in the trunk area for 30 seconds or so, do you hear the compressor running within the 30 seconds at all)? 2. The on board compressor is generally located behind the driver-side rear wheel, if its not running at all, it could be of the position sensor/switch that's out of adjustment, or some kind of electrical issue... I would by-pass the switch and verify that the compressor is operational first (make sure you know what you are doing before apply 12 volts to any lead/connector to avoid any damage)... 3. If the compressor is ON constantly, there may be a leak in the system (i.e. line, shock, or possibly damaged/out-of-adjustment sensor/switch).... If the compressor is running constantly when the ignition is turned on, I would find and remove the fuse to the Autoride system immediately until the problem is fixed to avoid damage to the compressor and shock(s)... Good Luck!

Replying to: circlew (Jan 03, 2009 1:29 pm) I have a 2003 Yukon XL Denali purchased used in March 2006 with 58000 miles. We have routinely battled with the non-start issue. We've tried bigger batteries, shutting all accessories off etc. We can't figure it out. There is something randomly draining the battery. We actually went all summer without the problem and now it has started up again. My guess is something to do with the rear glass closure. But the repair shops figure there is no way to truly trace it as it is random and there are so many electrical switches and accessories. If someone has found the fix, it would be great to get any help.

Replying to: bandaidgooz (Jan 17, 2009 6:00 pm) Happened to me. I am on battery number 3. Sears gave it to me free under warranty since it was less than 2 years old.   The last time it happened the dealer pointed to a seat switch that was stuck on. They reall have no clue, however.   Regards, OW

Replying to: bandaidgooz (Jan 17, 2009 6:00 pm) It seems that electronics are a problem with this year/model or maybe with the denalis in general. I noticed recently when I turn the car off and take the keys out and shut the door(as in completely exit the vehicle including locking the doors) the radio stays on. I have to open the car doors up again and then close it up. That has been doing the trick. Or else, a better option is just turning the radio off when I turn the engine off. In any case, it is a pain in the neck. In thepast month I have had several issues come up. The raidio staying on, the driver seat switch seems to be reversed. To move the seat forward, you have to push back and visa-versa. Also, the door ajar message comes on randomly when the door is closed and then it locks and unlocks the doors. I have a feeling this is all probably related to some electrical short. I am just hesitant about getting it looked at for fear of the cost. Oh and my speedometer is stuck up on like 140mph. Which is strange. Last but not least the hydraulics seem to be resetting themselves often.

Replying to: nrogers (Jan 18, 2009 8:39 am) The speedometer thing happened after the last battery install. Try removing the positive lead to the battery. It resets some of the electronics.   The fix for the speedometer was starting and switching off the engine many times and each time the spedo dropped a bit until finally reaching zero again.   Regards, OW

Replying to: nrogers (Jan 18, 2009 8:39 am) There is a dealer recall on instruments that is open for my 2003. If your truck is 2003, you can take it to the dealer to fix the odometer on GM's dime.   General Motors is providing owners with a special coverage that extends the warranty on the instrument panel cluster (..a condition where one or more of the instrument panel gauge needles may stick, flutter or become inoperative. This may cause inaccurate readings including the speedometer and fuel gauge.) Coverage within 7 years of orig. service date or 70K miles.   Regards, OW Replies to this message: fiaga123 (Jan 25, 2009 6:32 pm)
