SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE HAS ONLY 21,650 M ON IT, USED MOSTLY ON WEEKENDS AND IN THE SNOW IN WINTER. IT WAS DOING FINE UNTIL 9/18/16 WHEN SUDDENLY I NOTICED MY BRAKE WAS NOT RESPONDING AS USUAL. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR REPEATEDLY TO STOP, BARELY MISSED HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ON ONE OF MY CITY STREETS GETTING BACK HOME AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING. DROVE HOME SLOWLY AND VERY CAREFULLY. HAD IT TOWED TO A NEARBY GM DEALER. HE SAYS MOST OF THE BRAKE LINES AND SOME HOSES HAVE RUSTED, NEED TO BE REPLACED. THAT WOULD BE 15-16 HOURS LABOR AND WILL COST ME $ 2000.00. IT SNOWS HERE QUITE A BIT AND AFTER THE SEASON, I ALWAYS WASH MY VEHICLES WITH EMPHASIS ON THE UNDERSIDE TO REMOVE THE SALT AND CHEMICALS. BESIDES, ON THIS VEHICLE I HAD TO REPAINT THE HOOD TWICE, ROOF ONCE AND REPLACE THE REAR BUMPER SO FAR- ALL DUE TO RUST. NOW MY FRONT BUMPER IS SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST. WHAT'S THE MATTER - WITH ALL THIS EXCESSIVE RUSTING ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE MY OTHER SUV PARKED RIGHT BESIDE THIS AT HOME AND USE IT IN THE WINTER TIME. IT IS MUCH OLDER THAN YUKON AND THERE IS NO RUST PROBLEM AT ALL WITH IT. LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE METAL USED IN THIS VEHICLE OR LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL. GM DID A BAD JOB WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEY SAY THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET COMPENSATED BY GM FOR ALL THIS HARDSHIP. DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN FUTURE. HAVE TO GET THE BRAKE JOB DONE RIGHT AWAY BUT VERY PRICEY FOR MY BUDGET. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WHEN TWO METAL LINES RUPTURED CAUSING A LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN BOTH CIRCUITS DURING A HARD STOP. ABS HAD NOT ACTIVATED. THE BRAKING TOOK PLACE AT LOW SPEED WHEN A CAR AHEAD STOPPED SUDDENLY PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CABLE-ACTIVATED PARKING BRAKE WAS THEN USED TO AVOID A COLLISION AND GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

BRAKE ROTOR AND PAD KIT PURCHASED FROM ROCK AUTO WAS THE WRONG DIMENSION AND THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE IMPROPER FIT, THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE FROM ROCK AUTO: :[XXX] I HAVE RECEIVED A REPLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMING THAT PART NUMBER KOE 1970, THE ROTORS YOU RECEIVED, ARE THE CORRECT ROTORS FOR A 1999 GMC YUKON 5.7L V8 WITH 4WD AND 6 LUG WHEELS. THE PART NUMBER FOR THESE ROTORS SHOULD BE AR8609XPR. IF THIS IS NOT THE NUMBER STAMPED ON THE ROTOR YOU RECEIVED, YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED A MIS-BOXED PART. IF THAT IS THE CASE, PLEASE RESPOND WITH THE NUMBER THAT IS STAMPED ON THE ROTOR YOU RECEIVED. IF THIS NUMBER MATCHES THE ROTORS YOU RECEIVED, YOU CAN SIMPLY FOLLOW THE RETURN INSTRUCTIONS I HAVE EMAILED TO YOU. IN THIS CASE WE WOULD BE UNABLE TO REFUND YOU THE ORIGINAL SHIPPING, BUT WE WILL COVER THE RETURN SHIPPING IN THE FORM OF A SHIPPING LABEL. WHEN THE MANUFACTURER SAYS THAT THE FIT IS CORRECT AND THE CUSTOMER SAYS IT IS NOT, IT IS OUR POLICY TO SPLIT THE SHIPPING ON THE ORDER. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHERE THE AFTERMARKET "BROKERS" LIKE ROCK AUTO ARE SELLING PARTS THAT ARE THE WRONG SIZE AND THEN SUPPORTING THE MANUFACTURER (PROFITING). THE THICKNESS OF THE ROTOR PLATE PUSHED MY ROAD WHEEL OUT BEYOND FULL WHEEL LUG NUT ENGAGEMENT AND NO ENGAGEMENT OF THE ROAD WHEEL CENTER HOLE WITH THE BEARING HUB. THE ONLY CONTACT WAS THE LUG NUTS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SAME THING AS ALREADY LISTED. MY RADIO, WIPERS AND WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY COME ON BUT IF YOU TRY TO USE THE WIPERS OR ROLL DOWN A WINDOW IT SHUTS ALL 3 DOWN. FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
HAD TO STOP IN A HURRY ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT THE BRAKES, I BELIEVE THE ABS LOCKED UP AND I FISHTAILED FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT AND BACK TO THE LEFT AGAIN. ENGINE SHUTOFF AUTOMATICALLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS NEARLY CAUSED A MULTI CAR COLLISION WITH A POSSIBLE BRIDGE FLY AWAY AS WE WERE ON A BRIDGE AT THE TIME. LUCKILY THROUGH DEFENSIVE DRIVING WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND KEEP IT FROM HITTING ANYTHING OR ANYONE, HOWEVER NOW WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT THERE IS A SQUEAK AT EVERY ROTATION WHEN GOING SLOW. ALSO THE VEHICLE SLOWLY HESITATES COMING TO A STOP AND ABS WILL SOMETIMES START ENGAGING CAUSING NEAR COLLISIONS. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK, ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD, I CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I HAD BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND, THEN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS TRAFFIC COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS SO I BECAME A LITTLE NERVOUS. THE TRUCK DID STOP IN TIME THOUGH. I KNEW I HAD BLOWN A BRAKE LINE RIGHT AWAY. I WENT BACK TO WORK AND INSPECTED THE LINES AND THE REAR LINE HAD BLOWN APART. THIS IS MY SECOND GM VEHICLE THAT BLEW A BRAKE LINE IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT ON THE VEHICLE. I RECENTLY MOVED TO FLORIDA, THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN AN OHIO VEHICLE ALL IT LIFE. *TR

I WENT TO PULL MY HORSE TRAILER FORWARD TO LOAD HORSES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE UPHILL TO GET IT TO STOP. A NEIGHBOR TOOK THE PROTECTIVE PANEL OFF OF THE FRONT UNDERCARRIAGE AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE TUBING. THE TRUCK IS SCHEDULED TO GO TO THE REPAIR SHOP TOMORROW TO FIX THIS. *TR

IN MY 1999 GMC YUKON DENALI AT A SLOW SPEED WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE ABS PREMATURELY ACTIVATE MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP COMPLETELY. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. PLEASE POST A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SIMILAR VEHICLES BUT NOT THE 1999 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHY? *TR

(REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURE) MY WIFE WAS ON HER WAY TO WORK WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE PEDAL BECAME REAL SOFT AS IF THE VEHICLE WASN'T GOING TO STOP. AFTER RETURNING HOME, UPON INVESTIGATION THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS ALMOST EMPTY. I FOUND BRAKE FLUID COMING OUT OF A BADLY CORRODED BRAKE LINE JUST BEHIND THE FUEL TANK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD SITUATION. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS ON THIS VEHICLE, PURCHASED IN 2001. WE HAVE ALWAYS KEPT IT MAINTAINED AND CLEAN, INCLUDING CAR WASHES AFTER SNOW STORMS TO REMOVE ROAD SALT AND SAND. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON AN 11 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE FUEL LINES HAVE CORROSION AT EVER MOUNTING LOCATION. SO, I GUESS THESE ARE GOING TO FAIL AS WELL SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. *TR

ALL OTHER REPAIRS WERE MADE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WINDOWS, RADIO AND DOOR LOCKS WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS BASED ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS I FOUND BY GOOGLING "PROBLEMS WITH 99 YUKON DENALI". IT SEEMS AS THOUGH REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FIXES THE ISSUE IN SOME CASES BUT MOST HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIX IT. SOME EVEN SAY THEY EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. *TR
