SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE FOR NO REASON ON DRY PAVEMENT CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR AND CREATE AN EXCEPTIONALLY LONG STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME I TRY TO STOP OR DURING STOPPING AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 10 M.P.H. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON G.M. MODELS 00-02 BUT THEY SAID MY 99-YUKON DOESN'T QUALIFY WHEN ITS HAVING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS-NOW WHAT? *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I OWN A 1999 GMC YUKON. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES WHEREBY THE ABS KICKS IN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING UNDER 10 MPH. I HAVE HAD IT TO MY MECHANIC AND A GMC DEALERSHIP. THE BEHAVIOR IS IDENTICAL TO THE GM RECALL 05V-379. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE DESIGN OF MY BRAKES IS DIFFERENT AND NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL ALTHOUGH THE SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL. I LOGGED A CONSUMER COMPLAINT WITH GM AND THEY REPLY THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, ALTHOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE TIME FRAME NOTED IN THE RECALL AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT I LIVE IN THE "SALT-BELT" REGION COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HUB (BOTH FRONT WHEELS) ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
DT: THE CONTACT STATED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT HAS BUCKED WHILE BRAKING. IT WAS AS THOUGH THE BACK BRAKES WERE WORKING AND THE FRONT BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, AND HE CHANGED THE ROTORS. THIS DID NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY HEARD A POP, AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. SHE HAD TO DRIVE INTO A HANDICAP SIGN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE AROUND TO HAVE IT TOWED. IT HAS NOT BEEN TO A DEALER. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE A 1999 GMC YUKON SUV AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ABS SENSORS ARE CORRODED BECAUSE OF THE SALT USED ON THE ROADS HERE IN MI IN THE WINTER. THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES AT THE PRESENT TIME BUT WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIR THEY TOLD ME THE VIN # WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST. WHENEVER I STOP AT AN INTERSECTION OR RED LIGHT OR PULL UP TO PARK I HAVE A GROWLING NOISE AS I APPLY THE BRAKES AND A SLIPPING OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR KEEPS ON MOVING WHEN I THINK ITS GOING TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND ALSO A BRAKE MECHANIC AND BOTH STATE IT IS DUE TO THE CORROSION THAT HAS FORMED UNDER THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND MOVES THE SENSOR AWAY FROM THE INTEGRAL SPEED-SENSOR TOOTHED RING. THE CONDITION DOES NOT SET ANY ABS CODES NOR DOES IT ILLUMINATE THE ABS WARNING LAMP. THE RECALL ( 05068) BY GM PROCEDURE INVOLVES REMOVING THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS CLEANING THE SENSOR MOUNTING SURFACES ON THE BEARINGS, APPLYING ZINC-X TO THE CLEANED SURFACES, GREASING THE MOUNTING SURFACES, REINSTALLING THE SPEED SENSORS, AND VERIFYING THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SIGNAL OUTPUT VOLTAGES WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATION. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED! I HAVE NOT HAD THE VEHICLE FIXED YET AS I AM WAITING TO BE ACCEPTED ON THE LIST. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP IN ACCOMPLISHING THIS FOR ME BEFORE THEIR IS AN ACCIDENT. THANK YOU. *JB

STEERING
WE HAVE A 1999 GMC YUKON AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END. WE HAVE SPENT NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON THE FRONT END AND ALIGNMENT SEARCHING FOR THE CAUSE OF ERRATIC STEERING. WHEN LEAST EXPECTED, THE STERRING WHEEL WILL JERK EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT AND IT IS FRIGHTENING. WE HAVE NOW DEVELOPED AN OCCASSIONAL BUT EXTREME SHIMMY EFFECT THAT RESULTS IS PULLING OFF THE ROAD AND STARTING OVER TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. SO FAR ALL SERVICE WAS GEARED TOWARDS FRONT END BUT IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THE STEERING MAY IN FACT BE THE PROBLEM. WE FOUND NO RECALLS APPLIED TO THIS BUT I DID LOCATE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS. TO BE ABLE TO APPLY A CERTAIN INCIDENT DATE..NO I CANNOT. IT HAS BEEN ON-GOING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN 2003. THERE HAS BEEN NO INJURY OR DEATH..PRAISE GOD..BUT WE ARE CONCERNED EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. THE LAST SERVICE ISSUE WAS IN FEBRUARY 2005, AND AGAIN THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN ASSUMED FRONT-END ALIGNMENT. IT DID NOT FIX IT.

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
WHILE GETTING A NEW SET OF TIRES ON MY 1999 GMC YUKON, 58000 MILES, THE LUG NUTS ON THE RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT FRONT WHEELS WOULD NOT TIGHTEN. THE MECHANIC WAS USING A TORQUE WRENCH TO TIGHTEN THE LUGS. FOUR LUGS ON THE LEFT FRONT AND TWO LUGS ON THE RIGHT FRONT BEGAN TO STRESS AND TO KNECK DOWN. I INSTRUCTED THE MECHANIC TO CEASE AND TO REMOVE THE WHEELS FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS DEFINITE EVIDENCE OF KNECKING AND THE LUGS APPEARE TO BE VERY MALLEBLE. I HAD THE LUGS REPLACED WITH NEW LUGS, AND RETAINED THE LUGS THAT WERE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. I AM A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER AND IN MY MID 60'S. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE QUANTITY OF LUGS FROM ONE WHEEL BE SO SOFT. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE THE LAST WEEK OF JUNE, 2005. I BELIEVE THE TIRES THAT I REPLACED WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY WERE OFF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THE YUKON WAS MANUFACTURED IN WISCONSIN.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKES AT LOWER SPEEDS FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE WANTS TO KEEP GOING, AND PULSATE WHEN APPLIED BEFORE STOPPING. THIS HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME, AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE HAS BEEN NO COMPLETE FAILURE AT THIS TIME (I EXPECT IT KNOW WHEN TO STOP IT). I TRIED HAVING THIS FIXED AT A GARAGE AND THEY REPLACED THE WHEEL BARING BECAUSE THEY SAID IT CONTAINS THE SPEED SENSOR (IT DIDN'T WORK). THE ABS KICKS IN WHEN GOING FORWARD AND REVERSE

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE IN DRIVING RAIN RESULTING IN EXTREMELY LOW VISABILITY. VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD, IGNITION WAS SHUT OFF AND STARTED AGAIN IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET WIPERS TO WORK. WIPERS STILL FAILED TO OPERATE. CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED UNTIL RAIN HAD CEASED. THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE ON MANY GM VEHICLES. WE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT IN AN S-10 TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, SO WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH PROBLEM.
