    How do you fix your car with no parts available?

    I've had my 08 Yukon in the shop since the 14th for brake issues. My brakes would just suddenly not work. Work just fine one minute and the next time I would get in the truck, brake pedal to the floor. I took it to the shop and they replaced one part for a $1000 that didn't fix it. Told me I...

    Considering a Yukon Denali Hybrid

    Funny, my bungee goes around the second row seat grab bars at the door jams. I figured I was the only one that does that. I keep the second row seats tumbled forward so the dogs have plenty of room.

    Anyone else having these issues?!

    Driving and operating section of the hybrid owners manual states When you move the shift lever into M, the transmission will default to M4. In this gear range, effective engine braking occurs at speeds above 72 km/h (45 mph). As for the remote start issue, I can't say one way or the other as...

    Hybrid battery life

    My 2008 that I bought in dec is at 136,000, but I don't know if the battery was previously replaced. I'm averaging about 19 in town. With the cold weather my yukon only gets warm / charged enough on the 20 minute drive to work to go into autostop right about the time I arrive. I'm hoping the...

    Yep. Giant sticker removal on list of work to do. I had thought the roof rack was factory until I started reading the forums here. I like the look of it.

    2008 Impulse buy

    Thanks, for the thoughts, so far after a month of ownership, everything is looking good. My first fill up I tried using 85 octane fuel and was repeatedly getting a oxygen sensor fault. I went with mid grade 87 on the next fill up and haven't had any more issues with the light. I have been...

    2008 Impulse buy

    No I didn't get it at a auction, I bought it from the Ford dealership (I know right). I suppose the dealership could have gotten it from an auction. My concerns would be that I bought a 08 which seems like has the most problems from what I've been reading here. Some of those posts where the...

    After wrecking my car right before Christmas, I picked this up the next day. I didn't do any research before hand and now am slightly worried a made a bad decision. It just seemed like a good vehicle while looking at it.
