SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
1999 GMC YUKON EXPERIENCED ANTI- LOCK BRAKE PROBLEMS RELATED TO SPEED SENSOR CORROSION. SENSORS WERE REPLACED BY DEALER IN MAY 2005 PURSUANT TO THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. UNDERSTANDING THAT IN THE EVENT OF A RECALL, I WOULD BE REIMBURSED. INITIAL RECALL CORRESPONDENCE BY GM TO NHTSA IN AUGUST INDICATED THAT 1999 YUKONS WERE COVERED BY RECALL. SAME CORRESPONDENCE WAS SENT TO DEALERS IN AUGUST 2005 INDICATING COVERAGE OF 1999 YUKONS. RECALL CORRESPONDENCE FROM GMC TO DEALERS AND OWNERS IN OCTOBER, 2005 NOW DO NOT COVER 1999 YUKON'S. I HAD THESE REPAIRS MADE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT AN INVESTIGATION WAS UNDERWAY, INVOLVING 1999 YUKON'S AND WITH ASSURANCES FROM DEALER THAT REIMBURSEMENT WOULD BE MADE IF RECALL WAS WARRANTED. ON 11/23/05 SPOKE WITH GM AND DEALER AND BOTH INDICATE THAT RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IS NOT WARRANTED AND REIMBURSEMENT IS NOT AUTHORIZED. *JB *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY 1999 GMC YUKON SLT 4X4 5.7L VIN[XXX] HAS THE SAME UNWANTED LOW SPEED ABS ACTIVATION THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING RECALLED ON 1999 AND UP GMC LIGHT TRUCKS. I CONTACTED TWO LOCAL DEALERS AND THEY BOTH TOLD ME THAT ME VIN WAS NOT RECALLED. I ALSO CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I THINK THE SCOPE OF THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE RF WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND THE PROBLEM HAS GONE AWAY. THE ABS/WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY FROM THE HUB ASSEMBLY. I PAID $380.00 PLUS LABOR FOR AN AFTERMARKET HUB ASSEMBLY JUST TO GET AN $80 SENSOR. I HAVE THE OLD SENSOR. *JB UPDATED 07/17/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

PARKING BRAKE
THE PARKING BRAKE ON OUR 2002 YUKON DOES NOT HOLD ONCE THE REAR BRAKES HAVE WARMED UP. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ALLOWED TO SIT FOR A FEW HOURS AND THE BRAKES COOL, THE PARKING BRAKE HOLDS. SINCE NEW, THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL. I'VE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST WHEN I TOOK IT FOR STATE INSPECTION, AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A MINOR ADJUSTMENT PROBLEM AND IT HAD BEEN FIXED. SINCE THE CAR WAS COLD WHEN I PICKED IT UP, THE PARKING BRAKE DID WORK FINE. I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL LAST SUMMER THAT THE PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T HOLD ONCE THE ROTOR ASSEMBLY IS WARMED UP. CLEARLY, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF PARKED ON A STEEP INCLINE. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE THEY SAY THE VEHICLE IS SAFE WHEN IN PARK. I DISAGREE. *JB
