SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
2001 GMC YUKON EBCM FAILURE. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THREE YEARS. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS JUST OVER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY PERIOD AND GMC PAID FOR THE PART AND I PAID FOR THE LABOR ONLY AFTER A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS TO GMC. THE MODULE HAS FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER IS CHOOSING TO PUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AT RISK AND NOT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I RECENTLY HAD MY 1999 GMC YUKON SERVICED FOR ABS WHEEL SENSOR FAILURE. REMEDY WAS REPLACEMENT OF BOTH FRONT WHEEL ABS SPEED SENSORS. AFTER THE SERVICE, I WAS MADE AWARE OF GM RECALL #05068 HAVING TO DO WITH ABS WHEEL SENSORS MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO SALT CORROSION. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED IN NEW YORK STATE FROM 1999 TO 2003. CURRENTLY, IT IS REGISTERED IN VIRGINIA. I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT MY VEHICLE WILL NOT BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS NOT REGISTERED IN A "SALT BELT STATE". I REQUESTED THAT MY VEHICLE BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL DUE TO IT BEING REGISTERED AND USED IN NEW YORK MOST OF ITS' IN SERVICE TIME. MY CLAIM WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN VIRGINIA. I WAS FURTHER TOLD BY GM THAT IF MY VEHICLE WAS STILL REGISTERED IN NY, THE RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED. I FEEL THIS RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO VEHICLES AFFECTED, NOT JUST VEHICLES THAT ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED IN A CERTAIN GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION. *NM

TIRES
I PURCHASED A NEW GMC YUKON DENALI 8 MONTHS AGO. MY NEW SUV CAME WITH STANDARD ALL-SEASON GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP P265/70R17 TIRES. ONE CHILLY WINTER MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, I HEARD AN EXPLOSIVE SOUND AND REALIZED THAT MY LEFT REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. I WAS DRIVING AT HIGH FREEWAY SPEED (75 MPH, THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70) WITH OTHER DRIVERS DRIVING AT THE SAME SPEED WITH NOT ENOUGH CLEARANCE IN FRONT AND BEHIND MY VEHICLE. I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I STRUGGLED TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE I ALSO FEARED OF A REAR-END COLLISION IF I DON'T ACT FAST. REALIZING I AM IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, I GRIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY, IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES, AND MADE A SUDDEN SHARP TURN ON THE SHOULDER. THIS SUDDEN LATERAL SHIFT AND ABRUPT MANEUVER CREATED A FORCE THAT TILTED THE VEHICLE SIDEWAYS (THE TWO RIGHT TIRES - FRONT & REAR - WERE UP ON THE AIR) FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THE SHARP TURN ON THE SHOULDER LED ME TO THE FREEWAY MEDIAN (AN OPEN GRASSLAND WITH UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND SOFT SOIL). THANKS TO THE SAFETY FEATURE OF MY VEHICLE, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), AFTER A BRIEF MOMENT I FELT MY TWO RIGHT TIRES WERE BACK ON LEVEL WITH THE GROUND AND THE VEHICLE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED ITS POWER ALLOWING ME TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ROLLING OVER. AS FOR THE BLOWN OUT TIRE, IT HAS BEEN SPLIT IN HALF. I TALKED TO GMC ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND WAS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED OF A TIRE MANUFACTURER DEFECT/FAILURE. GMC STATED THEY DON'T MAKE TIRES. I SHOULD TAKE MY CASE TO GOODYEAR TIRES. THERE IS MUCH ECONOMIC PHYSICAL DAMAGE THAT RESULTED FROM THIS TIRE BLOW-OUT. THE LEFT INNER FENDER WELL COVER WAS DAMAGED AND CREATED A HOLE THROUGH THE SHEET METAL. ALSO A REAR BODY MOLDING WAS MISSING AND DAMAGED TO LEFT RUNNING BOARD END CAP. THE RIM ON DAMAGED TIRE NEEDS TO BE SPIN-TESTED FOR BALANCE AND OUT OF ROUND ROAD DAMAGE. THE APPROXIMATE DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE ARE $4,000 - $5,000. AND OF COURSE, EMOTIONAL TRAUMA.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
AFTER NOTICING THAT MY 2003 YUKON DENALI HAD INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHTS/DASH LIGHTS DIMMING, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY PRESENTED ME WITH A DOCUMENT THAT STATED THE GM STATED THIS WAS NOT A MALFUNCTION AND WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THIS THAT IS "NORMAL". ANY TIME, AT NIGHT, A CURVE IS TAKEN AT ABOVE 35 MPH THE LIGHTS FLICKER. I HAD ALREADY PINPOINTED THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE VSES SYSTEM BECAUSE WHEN THE VSES IS TURNED OFF, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. WHEN A CURVE IS TAKEN AND THE FLICKERING OCCURS, THE VOLTAGE METER FOR THE BATTERY DROPS SUBSTANTIALLY AND THEN GOES RIGHT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS A DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVER (MYSELF), ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND ANYONE THAT I AM BEHIND. THIS ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE IT CAUSES INJURY. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE STOPPING AT SLOW SPEED, MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED ON MY 1998 GMC YUKON CAUSING ME TO NARROWLY MISS AN ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM WOULD DO THIS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY WITH NO WARNING. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED - THE CORROSION WAS REMOVED FROM UNDER THE BRAKE SENSORS. MONTHS LATER I SAW GM ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT VEHICLE YEARS WERE FROM 1999-2003 NOT INCLUDING 1998. I CALLED GM AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER MY 1998 UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE PARTS ARE IDENTICAL IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM BETWEEN A 1998 AND 1999. *JB

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE DRIVE UNLESS PLACED INTO REVERSE. WHEN STUCK IN DRIVE, PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATING WILL CAUSE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY, UNTIL THEIR IS A LOUD VIOLENT SOUND FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AR WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE WILL ENGAGE DRIVE AND PROCEED IN A SLUGGISH FASHION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER WHO HAD INVESTIGATED AND FIXED THE PROBLEM SINCE NOVEMBER 2005 AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS TODAY (2-7-2006). THE PROBLEM PRESENTED ITSELF AFTER THE DEALERSHIP FLUSHED AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AT APPROXIMATELY 53000 MILES (THE SERVICE DEPT RECOMMENDED THE SERVICE).
