AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ON 12/14/07 WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. WE WERE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50MPH AND RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE WHOLE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR YUKON IS TOTALED. THE FRONT END/BATTERY AND OTHER ITEMS IS PUSHED UP INTO THE ENGINE. MY CONCERN IS THAT NEITHER ONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE ACCIDENT. WHY? THE IMPACT SHOULD HAVE RELEASED THE AIRBAG AND THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE HIT HIS SHOULDER ON THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH THE AIRBAG WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THAT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME.

GM RECALL # 05068 FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS RECALL PERTAINS TO CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SUV'S BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 AND FAILING ABS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES TO PULSATE AND TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE RECALL COVERED MOST OF THE NE STATES (SALT BELT) AND WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION. THE ABS LOW SPEED SENSOR'S WOULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP (AS IF SLIPPING). I OWN A 1999 GMC YUKON WITH 70K MILES AND THE ABS SENSORS ARE SHOT. I CALLED GM, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT A LOCAL DEALER, WHEN I DID, THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD TALK TO THE GM REP. FINAL ANSWER FROM GM ...SINCE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THEY WANT $300 TO FIX MY 99 YUKON, THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WOULD FIX FOR FREE IF IT WERE A 1999 SIERRA K1500 TRUCK OR A 2000 YUKON, BOTH VEHICLES USING THE SAME ABS SENSORS. MY 1999 GMC YUKON IS A K1500 (AS STATED ON THE ORIGINAL STICKER) AND THAT VEHICLE IS COVERED BY THE RECALL AS WELL AS THE 2000 YUKON. I HAVE CHECKED AND THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS ARE THE SAME FOR MY 99 YUKON AS THEY ARE FOR THE 99 K1500 AND THE 2000 YUKON. GM DEALER SAID TO ME, "WELL YOU TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY". WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE NAMES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE LOCAL GM REP, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL #71-550013XXX. BOTH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE REFUSED TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNDER THE GM RECALL, STATING THAT SINCE YOUR VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. AUTOZONE PARTS: SKU # 550300 - LEFT SIDE SENSOR- 1999 YUKON 4WD- SAME PART # FOR 2000 YUKON 4WD AND 1999 K1500 1/2 TON 4WD SKU # 550301 - RIGHT SIDE SENSOR- 1999YUKON 4WD- SAME PART # FOR 2000 YUKON 4WD AND 1999 K1500 1/2 TON 4WD NAPA PARTS: SKU # 530606 - LEFT SIDE SENSOR- 1999 YUKON 4WD- SAME PART # FOR 2000 YUKON 4WD AND 1999 K1500 1/2 TON 4WD SKU # 530581 - RIGHT SIDE SENSOR- 1999YUKON 4WD- SAME PART # FOR 2000 YUKON 4WD AND 1999 K1500 1/2 TON 4WD
