SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY 2000 GMC YUKON DENALI IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 05068 FROM GMC. GMC HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE RIGHT TIME FRAME BUT DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RIGHT VIN NUMBERS. I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS! THE FOLLOWING IS AN EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM GMC: VEHICLES OF A MODEL YEAR ARE AFFECTED. THERE IS AN UPCOMING RECALL 05068 FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR- DESCRIPTION: ABS WHEEL SENSORS. GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF INVOLVED VEHICLES BEGINNING 10/12/2005. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR DIVISIONS (DMV) HAS YOUR CURRENT INFORMATION FOR MAILING PURPOSES IN CASE YOUR VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. BELOW ARE SOME INFORMATION THAT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR THE UPCOMING RECALL. DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION: SOME OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE ASSOCIATED WITH UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS (LESS THAN 10 MPH AND GREATER THAN 3.7 MPH). THIS CONDITION DOES NOT SET ANY ABS CODES NOR DOES IT ILLUMINATE THE ABS WARNING LAMP. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS, BASED ON FIELD REPORT DATA. CONSEQUENCE OF CONDITION: WHEN THE PEAK-TO-PEAK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR VOLTAGE LEVEL RECEIVED AT THE ABS CONTROLLER IS BELOW THE MINIMUM SPECIFIED PEAK-TO-PEAK LEVEL, THE ABS CONTROLLER INTERPRETS THIS AS A WHEEL SPEED THAT IS LESS THAN THE ACTUAL WHEEL SPEED. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ABS INTERPRETS THE WHEEL AS SLIPPING WHEN IT IS NOT. IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE MAY BE REQUIRED. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
- INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS EVERYTIME THE GAS TANK IS FULL - ANYTIME THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN OR IN PARK IT SHOWS THE EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN OVER A BUMP OR SOMETHING. - I LOOKED ON LINE AND I NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN ALREADY A SERVICE RECALL ISSUED BUT NOT FOR THE YUKON, ITS FOR THE YUKON XL HOWEVER I CONTACTED GMC AND I EXPLAINED THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE XL, THERE RESPONSE WAS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THE YUKON. WITH IN MIND THAT BOTH OF THESE VEHICLE LINES USE OR SHARE MOST OF THEIR PARTS. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE SPEED SENSOR FAILS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 6 AND 9 MPG; RESULTING IN NO OR LIMITED ABILITY TO BRAKE. REPEATED NEAR ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC AND IN PARKING SITUATIONS. THE VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AT JIM MURPHY PONTIAC-GMC TRUCK, INC. 3000 WALDEN AVE DEPEW, NY 14043 PHONE: 716-684-8900 FAX: 716-684-9050. I UNDERSTAND GM HAS RECALLED PRACTICALLY IDENTICAL VEHICLES SUCH AS THE GM TAHOE, SUBURBAN, ETC. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE GMC YUKON DENALI IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME VEHICLE AS THE GM TAHOE. I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THAT RECALL IS NOT APPLIED TO THE GMC YUKONS. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 31 MPH ON A GRAVEL ROAD IN DRY CONDITIONS THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT STRUCK A TREE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT PASSENGER HAD TO BE EXTRACTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD COLLAPSED INTO THE FRONT SEAT ALONG WITH THE FIREWALL. THERE WERE 3 INJURIES, AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. A GM REPRESENTATIVE RETRIEVED THE BLACK DETECTION BOX, VERIFIED THE SPEED OF 31 MPH, AND DETERMINED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. GM PURCHASED THE SALVAGED VEHICLE FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND DESTROYED IT. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
REF PRESENT RECALL ON 1999-2002 CHEVY & GMC SILVERADO, YUKON LIGHT TRUCKS. I NOTICE THAT RUST IS THE FACTOR IN THE ANTI-LOCK SENSOR RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO FURTHER ADD THAT RUST IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR BREAKDOWN IN ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE A 2000 YUKON WITH 26000 MILES THAT HAS EXTREME RUST DECAY TO REAR AXLE BACKING PLATES AND FRONT ROTORS. THE LOCAL DEALER WHEN QUESTIONED ADMITTED ITS DUE TO RUST BELT ISSUES. I DID NOTICE THAT GM HAS ADMITTED TO HAVING RUST BELT ISSUES WITH ITS BRAKING SYSTEM. WHY ARE YOU NOT REQUIRING THEM TO MITIGATE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WHICH IS EFFECTED? ARE THEY NOT PART & PARCEL OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM? WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER BE SADDLED WITH THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR OF REPLACING THESES COMPONENTS WHICH IF THEY HAVE NOT FAILED SERIOUSLY IMPAIR THE BRAKING AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLES IN QUESTION. MY MECHANIC ADVISES THAT HE HAS HAD MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES COME IN FOR REPAIRS WITH IDENTICAL RUST DISINTEGRATION. THE AREA OF VEHICLE SALE & USE IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN EXCUSE BY THE MANUFACTURER. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AT A LOW SPEED ON A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP LATER FOUND THAT THE STAINLESS BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING. THE ROAD CONDITION WAS PAVEMENT ON A DRY ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL BRAKING. THE CONSUMER HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED ON HER VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SHE HAS EXPERIENCED BRAKING PROBLEMS. REPAIR INVOICES ARE AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *NM *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AT SLOW BRAKING SPEEDS {AT 5 MPH} THE ABS BRAKES GO OFF EVERY TIME YOU STOP. WHEN COASTING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT 5 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKES GO OFF THEY LOCK UP AND THEY DO NOT LET GO. WHEN THEY LOCK UP, AND YOUR CANNOT STOP OR CONTROL THE BRAKING, YOU RUN INTO THE CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICHLE ANY MORE BECAUSE SHE CANNOT CONTROL THE STOPPING. I REMOVED THE FUSES THAT CONTROL THE ABS BRAKING SO THAT I CAN CONTROL MY BRAKING.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
ABS BRAKES ENGAGED WITH NO WARNING AT LOW SPEEDS (PARKING LOTS, STOP SIGNS, DRIVE THROUHS) AND GREATLY INCREASED THE STOPPING DISTANCE AND SAFETY. THIS WAS OCCOURING IN THE FALL OF '04 EALY WINTER OF '05. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON TOTALY DRY SURFACES, AND WAS TO GREAT OF A RISK TO LEAVE UN-REPAIRED. I HAD TO PAY OVER $900.00 TO CORRECT THE ONE FRONT WHEEL AND THE OTHER(S) ARE SURE TO FOLLOW. THIS IS POOR COMPENENT DEISIGN, AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AS DEFECTIVE. AN OWNER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DISCONECT THE ABS COMPUTER TO AVOID THE BRAKE FAILURE, IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PAY THE $900.00 + PER HUB. ALSO OCCAISIONALY AFTER CLICKING DRIVER'S SEAT BELT, WITH OUT WARNING, THE BELT RELEASED AT THE LATCH. NOT UNDER STRAIN, AND AFTER IT HAD BEEN FULLY ENGAGED. WHY?
