SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY 1999 GMC YUKON IS EXHIBITING BRAKE RELEASE AT LOW SPEED. IT CAN BE DESCRIBED EXACTLY AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000. THE GM DEALER SAID THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME BRAKE HARDWARE AS THE 2000 MODEL YUKON WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THOSE 1999 YEAR YUKONS SUCH AS MINE. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO REALLY PUSH HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE THE ABS SYSTEM IS RELEASING BRAKE PRESSURE. I AM FAMILIAR WITH ABS DESIGN, SINCE I WAS AT ONE TIME THE MANAGER OF THE GM ABS PROJECT AND PERSONALLY DESIGNED BRAKE PRESSURE RELEASE VALVES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS SAFETY DEFECT CORRECTED. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE A 1999 GMC YUKON. YOUR CAMPAIGN 05V-379 REGARDING ABS PROBLEMS WITH GM TRUCKS IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM WE ARE EXPERIENCING. (IE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES AT LOW SPEED DUE TO ABS ACTIVATION). IN FACT, THE ORIGINAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO NHTSA AND ANNOUNCEMENT FROM GM INCLUDED MY MODEL YEAR. HOWEVER, WHEN IT WAS EXECUTED, THE MODEL YEARS WERE CHANGED TO 2000-2002. I HAVE THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM AND BELIEVE 1999 YUKON SHOULD BE INCLUDED. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO (3000 MILES) MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO PERIODICALLY MALFUNCTION. IT WOULD BEGIN TO SHOW ACCELERATION IN EXCESS OF 120 MPH EVEN THOUGH I WOULD BE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 45 MPH. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF IT WOULD SEEM TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY DEVELOPED INTO A FULL-TIME PROBLEM. NOW WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN PART IT MAY REGISTER FROM 70 TO 90 MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALER FOR A QUOTE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD FIXED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A NUMBER OF YUKONS AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *JB

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
WHILE MAKING A TIGHT LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY. THE YUKON ONLY HAD 72000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALER, GMC DENIED WARRANTY SERVICE DUE TO MILEAGE. I COMPLAINED THAT A POWER STEERING PUMP SHOULD NEVER FAIL IN SUCH A CATASTROPHIC WAY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE NEW POWER STEERING PUMP WAS OF A DIFFERENT DESIGN SO WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANOTHER FAILURE. HE SAID IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THIS FAILURE TO HAPPEN. THE SHAFT BROKE INSIDE THE PUMP. THE PULLEY WAS STILL INTACT. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING, SHE WOULD HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME CONTROLLING THE CAR. *JB
