LOW SPEED ACTIVATION OF ABS BRAKES, ON DRY PAVEMENT, EXTENDING THE STOPPING DISTANCE TO AN UNANTICIPATED LENGTH. ALTHOUGH A COLLISION DID NOT OCCUR, THE PROBLEM IS ON GOING. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 05V379000. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT LOCATED IN ONE OF THE 14 STATES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, OUR STATE DOES AND HAS USED SALT AND OTHER CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES TO CLEAR ROADWAYS OF ICE AND SNOW FOR MANY YEARS. *TR

THE SECOND ROW SEATING IN MY SUV IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE OPTION TO LAY DOWN OR SIT UP LIKE NORMAL. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT OF THE LARGE SECTION TO LAY THE SEAT FLAT, THE CABLE BROKE AS IF IT HAD BEEN READY TO SNAP FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE SMALLER SIDE HASN'T SNAPPED YET BUT I AM SURE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES FAILED TO STOP PROPERLY, SURGING/INTERMITTENT PULSING AND STRANGE SOUNDS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION FOR ABS BRAKES. I TOLERATED AND DROVE CAREFULLY FOR YEARS. NOW I FIND THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF A GMC RECALL PROBLEM 05V-379. UPON CONTACTING GMC THEY SAY THEIR COMPUTERS NEED UPDATING AND IT "MAY" BE IN FOR RECALL BUT THE GMC DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS NOW. SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT TOTAL FAILURE AND AM REGISTERING A COMPLAINT. THEY SAID THAT I COULD GET IT FIXED NOW AND THEN THEY "MAY" REIMBURSE ME LATER. I CALLED THE GMC NUMBER ON THEIR RECALL SITE, THE SITE SAID MY NUMBER "MAY" QUALIFY FOR RECALL. I AM CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED NOW THAT I KNOW THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR OTHER GMC PRODUCTS AND CAN'T GET FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON 85 AT 70 MILES AN HOUR AND MY VEHICLE DECIDED TO DROP DOWN TO 20. I HAVE LOOKED UP INFORMATION ON ISSUES THIS TRUCK HAS HAD AND 1 OF THEM IS REGISTERED UNDER NHTSA ID # 100032435 / PIP-4695.GM: LOSS OF POWER HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. 4.3, 4.8, 5.3, 5.7 AND 6.0 ENGINES COUPLED WITH THE 4L60E OR 4L65E MAY EXPERIENCE A CONDITION OF HESITATES, MISSES OR LOSS OF POWER UNDER ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE MAY OPERATE AS IF IT IS IN REDUCED POWER MODE. *PE I HAVE PURCHASED AN AIR MASS FLOW SENSOR, THROTTLE BODY SENSOR, ALL 4 O2 SENSORS, AND A COOLANT SENSOR. MY TRUCK IS STILL NOT RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY. I NEED SOME INFORMATION ON THIS AND SOME HELP FIXING MY VEHICLE. *TR

BROUGHT YUKON IN TO KOONS GMC IN MANASSAS, VIRGINIA IN 2012 FOR TWO RECALLS WHICH I WAS TOLD WERE BOTH DONE ALONG WITH GETTING AN ESTIMATE FOR $3300 FOR LARGELY AN INTAKE MANIFOLD. I HAVE CALLED GM CORP AND BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES OVER THAT PAST TWO YEARS AS MORE CARS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO RECALL LISTS THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE; NOW GM CORPORATE SAYS THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL (NECESSARY TO AVOID LOW SPEED CRASHES) WAS ACTUALLY NEVER PERFORMED AND GM CORPORATE CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH DEALERSHIPS IN THE DC AREA AND GM CORPORATE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS (EXCEEDING 10 TOTAL CALLS) SINCE THAT THERE WERE NO REMAINING RECALLS LEFT TO PERFORM ON THIS YUKON. PRESUMABLY THE HEADREST RECALL I BROUGHT IT INTO KOONS IN MANASSAS, VA AS A SECOND AFTERTHOUGHT TO THE WHEEL SENSOR RECALL WAS THE ONLY THING THEY ENDED UP DOING OTHER THAN GIVING ME AN ESTIMATE FOR OVER $3300 FOR WORK THAT HAS NEVER NEEDED TO BE DONE. MY UNANSWERED QUESTION TO GM CORPORATE WAS "I'S THIS HOW YOUR GOING TO HANDLE THE IGNITION RECALLS?" ADDITIONALLY, GM CLAIMS TO BE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHETHER MY IGNITION SWITCH IS THE SAME IN DESIGN AS ANY OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. DO AMERICANS CITIZENS NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST THAT MUCH "PROPRIETARY"-PROTECTED INFORMATION FROM GM? GM CORPORATE'S SPECIALIST CLAIMED TO OBJECT TO MY MENTIONING THAT I, TOO, MIGHT RECORD THE CALL. KOONS ALSO NEVER NOTICED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BROKEN OUT THE ABS LIGHT BECAUSE PRIOR TO THE RECALL (WHICH SHOULD HAVE LATER TIPPED ME OFF THAT THEY DID NOT ACTUALLY CLEAN THE WHEEL SENSOR AND CHECK THE ABS LIGHT SINCE IT WAS NOT ON THE $3300 ESTIMATE OF NECESSARY REPAIRS), BECAUSE NOBODY REALLY KNEW THEN WHY THE ABS LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A RETALIATORY ACT. I MENTIONED TO KOONS SND GM CORPORATE BEFORE SERVICE THAT I WAS DISABLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN WHEN THE BRAKES FELT A LITTLE SOFT. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE. I PUT IN A HALF A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID INTO THE RESERVOIR. I DROVE TO THE HOUSE AND PARKED IT. SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER PARKING THERE WAS THE BEGINNING OF A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID. I MADE SEVERAL OTHER STOPS AND AT EACH STOP BRAKE FLUID WAS BEGINNING TO LEAK WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION STOP LIGHT, AT THE SPEED OF UNDER 10 MPH, THE ABS BRAKES SUDDENLY KICKED IN AND PULSATED, NOT ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO STOP. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH A STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, CAUSING ME TO PANIC AND STUMP ON THE BRAKES HARD BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE PARKING BLOCKS IN FRONT OF A BUSINESS. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANICS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ABS WARNING LIGHT OR ERROR CODE, WE ELECTED TO REPLACE BOTH ABS SPEED SENSORS AS A PRECAUTION. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I DECIDED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES INCLUDING ROTORS REPLACED AS A PRECAUTION. THE PROBLEM STILL ACCURES WITH EVERY SLOWER SPEED ATTEMP TO STOP. I AM VERY RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I DUE, I HAVE TO BEGIN MY BRAKING WELL IN ADVANCE AND AT A INCREASED DISTANCE FROM WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO STOP. *TT

WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH, THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT WORK. I AM NOT SURE WHEN IT STOPPED WORKING. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR THIS TO BE FIXED, SO THAT I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN. ( I WAS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY 65 YEAR OLD MOTHER AND MY 16 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER.) PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS CAN BE FIXED AND IF IT IS UNDER ANY RECALLS. *TR

MY GMC YUKON EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR 3 MONTH OLD SON AND LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A FIELD. WHEN I ARRIVED, I FOUND A PUDDLE OF FLUID UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT FROM BADLY CORRODED STEEL BRAKE LINES. AFTER ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF ONLINE RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR STORIES; SOME OF WHICH ENDED MUCH WORSE. CLEARLY THIS IS A QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
