Problems with 2003 GMC Yukon VISIBILITY

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 gmc yukon. while driving 65 mph, the blower motor stopped working without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the technician diagnosed that the blower motor and relay switch needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 157,000.

I have a 2003 gmc yukon. several days ago i was going to put some items in the back end. after raising the rear hatch glass, i heard a popping noise. i couldn't tell where it came from at first, but when i tried to shut the rear glass, the right side of the glass just popped up. after looking at it closely i could see that the glass was separated from the right hinge. i had to pull the glass down by hand and align it while trying to shut the glass. my vehicle is a 2003 model with 55,000 miles. it is a second vehicle and stays garaged most of the time. i have a 1996 tahoe i use for hauling and odd jobs. i have probably opened the rear glass on the 2003 yukon no more than a dozen times in the years that i have had it i usually open the entire hatch. gm states that this problem is not a defect and is not covered under any warranty. upon checking on line apparently hundreds of people have had the same problem. gm refuses to do anything about it. the repair costs approximately $1000.00. if this glass blows out or falls off while driving in traffic, someone could be seriously injured not only from the weight of the glass but from flying glass and debris./ this is definitely a manufacturing defect that again gm is ignoring until someone is injured and they are sued. *tr

The right hinge of the rear lift glass on 2003 gmc yukon failed causing a dangerous condition whereby the rear glass could blow out, or otherwise fall off the car. i am told the entire rear lift glass must be replaced. *tr

Rear heater not working. on july 25, 2006, the dealer replaced:" compressor assembly-replace sensor, inside air temperature-replace, case, auxiliary heater one piece-replace" at 38,371 miles. today, i returned to the dealer. rear a/c is working but no heat through the rear heater. they replaced the actuator, but that did not solve the problem. they put the original actuator back and stated a rear control module would need to be ordered. now the console lights on the rear hvac dials do not illuminate. i am awaiting the part. *tr

When driving in inclement weather the defroster will not send air to the left side of the windshield, which leaves a void, and does not defrost the left side. however, it will send air to the middle of the windshield. contacted the dealer. however, the problem recurred. *ak

When it rained, water entered the cabin of the vehicle. the dealership maintained that the water was coming through the roof. the dealership replaced the seal on the rear and the front of the sunroof but the problem recurred. *ak *sc *jb
