WHEN BRAKING HARD, ESPECIALLY IN A DOWNHILL MOTION ON WET OR SNOWY ROADS THE BRAKES LOCK UP. REMOVING ONE'S FOOT FROM THE PEDAL DOES NOT RELEASE THE BRAKING ACTION. ONLY WHEN THE TIRES STOP SKIDDING DOES THE BRAKING ACTION RELEASE, ALLOWING FOR ONE TO "TRY AGAIN" BY APPLYING THE BRAKES MORE GENTLY. BY THEN THE VEHICLE IS NEARLY STOPPED ANYWAY. I HAVE NEARLY SKIDDED INTO INTERSECTIONS OR CARS IN FRONT OF ME ON AT LEAST FIVE OCCASIONS.*AK

I OWN A 1994 GMC YUKON AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. SOMETIMES THEY WILL START WORKING ON THEIR OWN, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TUG ON THEM TO GET THEM TO START UP AGAIN. THE RECALL SAYS 1994 TO 1997 BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER. GM SAYS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A JOKE, THERE IS DEFINATELY A DEFECT AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I DRIVE 68 MILES A DAY. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETLY STOPPED WORKING IN A WINTER STORM 12/09/03. I FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL ON THE WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY DID NOTHING BUT LOOK AT THE VIN AND TOLD ME THAT MY 1994 YUKON NEEDED A CIRCUIT BUT DID NOT FIT INTO THE RECALL. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $85.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT MANY OTHERS GET FIXED FOR FREE. THEY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE WIPERS WITHOUT ANY EXAM AT ALL. THAT TELLS ME THAT THERE MUST ALSO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL ON THE CIRCUIT BOARDS IN ALL OF THE TRUCKS. I CALLED GMC THEY TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PLANTS WERE THE BOARDS WERE MADE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PLANTS THERE WERE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVEING PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PART ON THE SAME TRUCKS BUT THEIR PARTS WERE MADE IN A DIFFERENT PLANT THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE PLANT BUT A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PART THAT WILL CAUSE ALL OF THEM TO FAIL. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE ONE FROM MY TRUCK LOOKED AT BY SOMEONE THAT DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURES BOARDS EVERY DAY TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE ONE STATED IN THE RECALL. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE THIS RECALL EXPANDED TO COVER ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE (POORLY DESIGNED) PARTS.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 1996. WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE HEARING NOISES AND TROUBLE WITH A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I APPLIED THE BRAKES GOING ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR TO SLOW DOWN TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND BOTH REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS BLEW OUT ON ME ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. SINCE THE VEHICLE TURNED OVER PAST 60,000 MILES, I HAVE HAD AT LEAST THREE INCIDENTS WHERE ACCIDENTS ALMOST OCCURRED DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. TWICE THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER GETTING BRAND NEW BRAKES DONE ALL THE WAY AROUND, ONCE AT THE DEALER AND ONCE AT A MIDAS MUFFLER SHOP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION IN THE ABS SYSTEM. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALER TOMORROW, SINCE IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. DT

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
AFTER FASTENING SEATBELTS (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER) CORRECTLY, AND YOU LEAN FORWARD OR MOVE A SMALL AMOUNT, THE PORTION OF THE SEATBELT THAT CROSSES YOUR CHEST DOES NOT RETRACT CORRECTLY-INSTEAD, THIS PORTION IS LOOSE AND HANGS AWAY FROM YOUR BODY. THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED A LONG TIME AGO WITH NO RELIEF. A GMC DEALER EXPLAINED THE RATCHETS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND HAVE NOT BEEN. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE MANY MILES ON IT AND HAS NOT,NOR DOES THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCE ANY ABUSE. AS STATED EARLIER, THIS SITUATION HAS LASTED FOR QUITE AWHILE. THANK YOU.*AK
