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.

ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I MANAGED TO AVOID THEM DESPITE MY BRAKE ROTOR FAILURE. 1999 GMC YUKON DENALI - DURING MAXIMUM BRAKING FROM 45 MPH THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE ROTOR SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE ROTOR FAILURE RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGING TO THE RIGHT WHILE BRAKING. THE ROTOR DISK BECOME COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE HUB MOUNTING FLANGE. THE ROTOR WAS ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY WITH 95,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRUCK HAD RECENTLY PASSED PA STATE INSPECTION (AUGUST 2007) AND A FULL BRAKE JOB WAS DONE AT THAT TIME. THIS INCLUDED TURNING THE ROTORS. A NEW ROTOR WAS INSTALLED DURING THE REPAIR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. *TR

DT: THE CONTACT STATED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT HAS BUCKED WHILE BRAKING. IT WAS AS THOUGH THE BACK BRAKES WERE WORKING AND THE FRONT BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, AND HE CHANGED THE ROTORS. THIS DID NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY HEARD A POP, AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. SHE HAD TO DRIVE INTO A HANDICAP SIGN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE AROUND TO HAVE IT TOWED. IT HAS NOT BEEN TO A DEALER. *AK

I HAVE A 1999 GMC YUKON SUV AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ABS SENSORS ARE CORRODED BECAUSE OF THE SALT USED ON THE ROADS HERE IN MI IN THE WINTER. THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES AT THE PRESENT TIME BUT WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIR THEY TOLD ME THE VIN # WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST. WHENEVER I STOP AT AN INTERSECTION OR RED LIGHT OR PULL UP TO PARK I HAVE A GROWLING NOISE AS I APPLY THE BRAKES AND A SLIPPING OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR KEEPS ON MOVING WHEN I THINK ITS GOING TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND ALSO A BRAKE MECHANIC AND BOTH STATE IT IS DUE TO THE CORROSION THAT HAS FORMED UNDER THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND MOVES THE SENSOR AWAY FROM THE INTEGRAL SPEED-SENSOR TOOTHED RING. THE CONDITION DOES NOT SET ANY ABS CODES NOR DOES IT ILLUMINATE THE ABS WARNING LAMP. THE RECALL ( 05068) BY GM PROCEDURE INVOLVES REMOVING THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS CLEANING THE SENSOR MOUNTING SURFACES ON THE BEARINGS, APPLYING ZINC-X TO THE CLEANED SURFACES, GREASING THE MOUNTING SURFACES, REINSTALLING THE SPEED SENSORS, AND VERIFYING THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SIGNAL OUTPUT VOLTAGES WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATION. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED! I HAVE NOT HAD THE VEHICLE FIXED YET AS I AM WAITING TO BE ACCEPTED ON THE LIST. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP IN ACCOMPLISHING THIS FOR ME BEFORE THEIR IS AN ACCIDENT. THANK YOU. *JB

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY ANTILOCKING BRAKING SYSTEM. AT LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE BRAKING IS UNEVEN; MEANING IT IS NOT SMOOTH, BUT JERKY. THIS SITUATION DOES NOT OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AFTER THIS SITUATION THE ANTILOCKING BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND I DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM.
