SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY WOULD NOT SERVICE THIS PROBLEM. AT VERY LOW SPEEDS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE. THE BRAKING DISTANCE IS GREATER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY, BUT NOT EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I READ ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE BRAKES ON GM'S SUV'S. I HAVE A 2001 GMC YUKON AND WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, JUST BEFORE IT STOPS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES STARTS PULSING AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES FORWARD 3 TO 10 FEET. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER RIGHT NOW GETTING THE OIL CHANGED AND I AM GETTING A QUOTE ON THE BRAKES. I CALLED GM'S WARRANTY DIVISION AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT A RECALL YET. MY FILE # IS1-332799234.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY ANTILOCKING BRAKING SYSTEM. AT LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE BRAKING IS UNEVEN; MEANING IT IS NOT SMOOTH, BUT JERKY. THIS SITUATION DOES NOT OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AFTER THIS SITUATION THE ANTILOCKING BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND I DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL [XXX] ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN CORNERING ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS IS ANNOYING AND DISCONCERTING. I FEEL THAT MY STOPPING DISTANCE IS INCREASED AND PEDAL EFFORT IS ALSO INCREASED. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS A HORRIBLE BUBBLING OR GARGLING SOUND EMMITING FROM MY 2004 YUKON EXHAUST. IT SOUNDS REALLY BAD, ENOUGH TO TURN PEOPLES HEADS WHILE I'M SITTING AT THE CONVENEIENCE STORE OR A DRIVE THRU. THE DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM STATES THAT THEY ALL MAKE THIS SOUND, BUT I'M NOT STUPID. I KNOW OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR MODEL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I JUST WANT IT FIXED. IF I'M WILLING TO PAY $44,000 FOR A VEHICLE I EXPECT IT TO LOOK AND SOUND GREAT OR AT LEAST LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A NEW ONE. PLEASE HELP! *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE HOME AND TURNED OFF THE CAR BUT IT DID NOT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AT THE ADVICE OF THE DEALER AS TO NOT CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS THE EBCM INTERNAL RELAY SHORTED OUT CAUSING ABS PUMP TO CONSTANTLY RUN. THE PART WAS REPLACED COSTING OVER $1200. THIS ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY SO IT WAS ALSO REPLACED. *JB

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS, WHEELS:HUBCAP/COVER, POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS
ON 23 MARCH 2005 AT 6:30AM, I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 YUKON DENALI IN A 15MPH SCHOOL ZONE ON A MILITARY POST WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE CAME OFF. WHEN I SKIDDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT OUT, I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE LUGS WAS BROKEN OFF. THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF MY WHEEL COMING OFF. I WAS ONLY DRIVING BETWEEN 10-15MPH. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. WHEN THE TIRE CAME OFF THE VEHICLE, 2 CARS IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO SWIRVE TO MISS IT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (CUTTER DODGE/GMC IN WAIPAHU, HI) THE FINANCE MANAGER TOLD ME TO CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 05 MARCH 2005 AS A DEMO. I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE FOR EVEN 3 WEEKS. WHEN I TALKED WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY ON THE PHONE, THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE. WHEN I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE LIKE AN HOUR TO DO AN ASSESSMENT ON EVERYTHING TO SEE HOW THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH, I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE!!! THE SERVICE MANAGER AFTER 2 HOURS SAID THAT I WOULD BE GRANTED A RENTAL CAR FOR THE DAY, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO AN INVESTIGATION. TODAY, 24 MARCH 2005 WHEN I WENT TO THE SERVICE STATION, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF ALL THE DAMAGES THAT WERE CAUSED TO THE ROTOR/BODY/AXEL OR SHAFT. THEY EXTENDED MY RENTAL UNTIL MONDAY. AT THIS MOMENT, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I PAID OVER $53,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WANT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THEY CAN HAVE THIS VEHICLE BACK AND GET ME ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE IT!!!! I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. EITHER I WILL GO TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, GMC, OR THE LOCAL NEWS. JUST LIKE I SAID, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN THIS VEHICLE!!!!!!!*AK
