SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000 I CALLED GMC AS MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS OF ABS SENSOR FAILURE. THEY SAID IT WILL BE JAN 2006 BEFORE RECALL BEGINS, MAY BE 11/2006 BEFORE LETTERS GO. THEY WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE DEALER TO LOOK AT VEHICLE OR MAKE REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR SHOW UP IN CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT BUT THEY SAID THAT DOESN'T MEAN GMC HAS BEGUN A RECALL. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
GM HAS RECALLED SEVERAL OF ITS SUVS AND PICKUPS DUE TO A BAD ANTI-LOCK BRAKE DESIGN. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN CANADA AND 14 US STATES OF WHICH MINNESOTA IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS PAST FALL I WAS HAVING THE DESCRIBED PROBLEMS OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES COMING ON WHENEVER I WAS BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS USUALLY OCCURRED AT STOP SIGNS. I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE WITH THE BRAKES AND THE IMPENDING WINTER AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO GET FIXED. THEY REPLACED A SENSOR SAYING IT WAS BAD AND I PAID ~$230 FOR THE FIX. PRIOR TO GETTING IT FIXED I HAD ONSTAR RUN DIAGNOSTICS TO SEE IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM. AFTER GETTING IT FIXED AND HEARING OF THE RECALL IN CANADA I SPOKE WITH GM WHO SAID THAT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. NOW WITH THESE 14 OTHER STATES I AM FURIOUS. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY SHOULD BE COVERING THE COSTS OF MY REPAIRS SINCE I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. TO PICK AND CHOOSE THE STATES WHILE COMPROMISING SAFETY IS ABSURD. ANY INFORMATION OR RECOURSE YOU COULD SHARE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *NM

PARKING BRAKE
PARKING BRAKE DID NOT HOLD. 1 ROTOR WAS BAD AND PARKING BRAKE SHOES WERE BAD. EVEN AFTER REPAIR, PARKING BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. I BELIEVE BRAKE SHOES WERE DEFECTIVE WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THIS IS POOR ENGINEERING ON GM'S PART. I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FULLY FOR REPAIRS ON PARKING BRAKE. SINCE THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN TO DEALERS, I THINK THE CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE. WE HAD TO PAY $439.47 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THIS WAS ON 2001 GMC YUKON.

I READ ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE BRAKES ON GM'S SUV'S. I HAVE A 2001 GMC YUKON AND WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, JUST BEFORE IT STOPS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES STARTS PULSING AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES FORWARD 3 TO 10 FEET. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER RIGHT NOW GETTING THE OIL CHANGED AND I AM GETTING A QUOTE ON THE BRAKES. I CALLED GM'S WARRANTY DIVISION AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT A RECALL YET. MY FILE # IS1-332799234.
