| My new 2003 yukon xl has an absolutely intolerable cab reverberation problem ! this defect causes the driver and passengers a thumping ear pain ! i literally cannot drive 1 block without a thumping sensation in my ears. this vehicle was left at the dealer for 4 days, only to be told that the service department could not fix the problem ! of course, i was not satisfied ! this vehicle was only two weeks old ! i was informed by the service department that i would have to live with this until the gm engineers could find a fix. i was also informed that this was not high on the list of problems to solve ! the dealership refused to help me at all. the sales department would not take the vehicle back. i called gm who has sent me to one department after another for the past two weeks. still no resolution! upon notifying gm that i needed to seek a doctors care for the unbearable ear pain when driving this vehicle, i was sent to the department for complaint allegations. this department simply wanted to access their risks of loss ! still nothing resolved. i have asked gm to simply do the right thing . i don't think that this issue should come down to any type of law suit. however, it appears at this point, that a law suit may indeed be the only way to get the matter resolved. i propose to the nhtsa that this defect ( in all 2003 suburban and yukon xl models ) should warrant an investigation as to possible recall. as you can tell, i am very upset at the poor quality of customer service i have received from brown and wood dealership in greeneville, nc and gm. it appears that neither party wishes to be responsible. cyndi bowen . *nlm | |||
