2000 GMC YUKON XL Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA IN 2005 FOR MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATING EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN TO STOP. GMC SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE IN 2005 AND I BROUGHT MY YUKON XL IN TO FIX IT . THEY FIXED IT ,BUT NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN . *NM

MY GMC YUKON XL HAS BRAKING AND FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS, I HAVE HAD 1 ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE YUKONS BRAKES DEACTIVATING WHILE HITTING A SMALL BUMP ON THE STREET WHILE TRYING TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND ALL THEY SAID IS THEY WOULD OFFER ME A 1,000 REBATE ON THE NEXT PURCHASE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH THEY ADVERTISED THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ON ("CNN") ALONG WITH THE OTHER DEFECTS. THERE HAS BEEN OTHER HIDDEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROPERLY TELL OR NOTIFY ME. *JB

ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL, A COMPUTER MODULE FOR THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND GOES OUT CAUSING A SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR TO STAY ON RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN. THE FUSE FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MUST BE REMOVED, THUS DISABLING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM DYING. THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE ON MY VEHICLE AND ALSO TO MANY OTHERS WITH 1999-2002 YUKONS. GMC KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. *NM

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES START ACTIVATING AT SLOW SPEEDS. REPORTED TO DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX. HAS NOT CAUSED A CRASH OR INJURY YET. *JB

Mileage: 79,000

MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE AT ABOUT 5 MPH CONTINUALLY . I HIT A FENCE AND DECIDED TO PULL OUT THE ANTI LOCK FUSE WHICH ALSO DISABLED MY CRUISE CONTROL. *NM

ABS SENSOR FALURE PLEASE PUSH FOR RECALL!!!!!!! WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP ,THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD FARTHER THAN WHAT IS NORMALLY EXPECTED WITH A VIBRATING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. NEARLY CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT! PULLED ABS FUSE UNTILL I CAN GET MORE INFO ON HOW TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

ABS SENSOR WENT BAD IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY. ABS WOULD GO OFF ON DRY ROADS JUST BEFORE VEHICLE STOPPED. SOMETIMES THIS CAUSED OUR VEHICLE TO TAKE LONGER TO STOP. WE HAD THE WHOLE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY REPLACED BY A NON DEALER GARAGE TO THE TUNE OF $382.47. NOW ONE YEAR LATER THE PROBLEM IS BACK. I THINK GM HAS A BIG PROBLEM HERE AND SHOULD RECALL ALL THESE. OUR 2000 GMC YUKON XL ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT.

ANTILOCK BRAKES SLIP AT LOW SPEADS AND FAIL TO STOP VEHICLE. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD INCIDENCES IN RECENT WEEKS WHERE WE NEEDED TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND RESET STOPPING JUST BARELY IN TIME BEFORE A COLLISION. WE PLAN ON BRING THE CAR INTO GMC THIS WEEK. NO INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. OUR COMPLAINT SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020 OPENED ON 4-28-05.

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

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL I HAVE EXPERIENCED ENGAGEMENT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND SUBSEQUENT INCREASED DISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS AT LOWER SPEEDS, 25-40MPH, AND GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS (DRY PAVEMENT). I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MAINTANCE WORK PREFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHEIRE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I REPORTED THE BRAKING PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGERAND ASKED THAT THE BRAKE AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BE INSPECTED. PRIOR TO VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM A TEST DRIVE WAS COMPLETED IN AN ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE BRAKING PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE "VIBRATION: WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT DID NOT POSE ANY SAFETY THREAT. I EXPLAINED AGAIN THAT THE "VIBRATION" WAS NOT FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IN THE BRAKE SHOE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND REPORTED TO HAVE 80% WEAR ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO AND STILL LOOKED GOOD. THERE WAS NO REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I REQUESTED TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. ALL MAINTANCE SERVICE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OIL AND FILTER CHANGES HAS BEEN DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

CONTACT STATES: ABS ON VEHICLE WERE COMING ON WHILE BEING ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS OCCURRED ALSO ON SLIPPERY ROADS, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PAID FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET, A NEW BRAKE SENSOR WAS REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR.*AK

ABS SYSTEM FIRES AT LOW SPEEDS FOR NO REASON (DRY PAVEMENT). VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE APPEARS INCREASED. GM HAS RECALL # 04094 FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS LOCALIZED TO CERTAIN AREAS IN CANADA ONLY.*AK

Mileage: 90,000

I HAVE 52,000 MILE ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE THIRD TIME. NOT INCLUDING THE PRICE OF THIS THRID REPLACEMENT THE BRAKES AND TIRE PACKAGE IS COSTING $40 PER MILE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS UNRELIABLE AND THE MANUFACTURER REPAIRMAN STATES THE CASUE IS THE WEATHER CONDITIONS OF NEW YORK. IF THE WEATHER IS THE REASON FOR POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE THEN THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD MODIFY THE SYSTEM OR NOT SELL THE VEHICLE IN NEW YORK.*AK

PROBLEMS WITH 2001 YUKON XL'S ABS EQUIPMENT.*MR THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT DEFECTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKES, HOWEVER THEY FELL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE REPAIRS WERE VERY EXPENSIVE. PLEASE HELP IN COMPENSATING THE CONSUMER FOR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED *CB *JB
