SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN I BRAKE AT SLOW SPEEDS IN MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CAUSES A CHATTERING AND YOU HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THIS TO STOP AND THEN THE BRAKES START TO WORK AND YOU CAN SLOW DOWN AND STOP. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES, I THINK THE CAR JUST ISN'T GOING TO STOP. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL HAS SUFFERED FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM MADE THE SUBJECT OF THE RECENT RECALL BY GM. THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED THREE TIMES AND LEFT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN STRANDED ON INTERSTATE 45 AND IN GALVESTON, TX. WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TWICE TO GM DEALERSHIPS WITH ONE DEALERSHIP KEEPING THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK WITHOUT DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY SOLUTION THESE "CERTIFIED" MECHANICS COULD THINK TO DO WAS REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, WHILE I KNEW ALL ALONG THERE HAD TO BE SOME KIND OF SHORT IN THE FUEL SENDING SYSTEM. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1,000.00 IN REPAIRS AND TOWING CHARGES AND I STILL DON'T BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY YUKON IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAY IT DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER. WHEN MY VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED FROM THE VERY PROBLEM MADE THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL ON AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS, HOW COULD GM EXCLUDE IT FROM THE RECALL BECAUSE OF A VIN NUMBER. OBVIOUSLY GM HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY NOTIFY THE NHTSA OF ALL OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM PROBLEM, PROBABLY IN AN EFFORT TO MINIMIZE COSTS. HOWEVER, IT IS THE CONSUMERS LIKE ME THAT ARE AT RISK WHEN GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. MY GMC YUKON XL NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND GM'S RECALL LIST NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED CARS, NOT JUST THE ONES THEY PICK AND CHOOSE. MY WIFE AND KIDS SAFETY ARE AT ISSUE HERE.

PARKING BRAKE
HEARD SLIGHT GRINDING NOISES WHILE MAKING TURNS. SHORT TIME LATER I DISCOVERD THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE WHILE IN NEUTRAL WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. VEHICLE BEGIN ROLLING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER AND DISCOVERED PARKING BRAKE DRUMS AND SHOES WERE WORN OUT. REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT CONSIDERING THE WORK INVOLVED, I AM SURE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RATHER EXPENSIVE. I HOPE THE DEALER USED THE NEW STYLE SPRING CLIP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL EXPERIENCES THE SAME PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION # PE05020 AS IT RELATES TO ABS BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. I'M HOPING THAT THIS WILL BE RECALLED SOON SO THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED SOON.

MY 2001 YUKON XL HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. UPON STARTUP THE ABS LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE PUMP MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PULL THE ABS FUSE WHICH TURNS ON THE BRAKE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE BUT ONLY WITH NORMAL BRAKING AND NO SAFETY OF THE ABS. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS FAILURE AND FEEL THAT GMC SHOULD BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE RECEIVED ESTIMATES ON THE REPAIRS BUT HAVE NOT COMPLETED THEM AS OF YET. IN STATES WHICH THERE ARE VEHICLE INSPECTIONS THIS PROBLEM WOULD CAUSE THE FAILURE OF INSPECTION WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. *JB
