(RECALL 05V-379) ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. WE HAVE TAKEN TO NUMEROUS MECHANICS TO NO AVAIL. NOW AFTER LOOKING INTO RECALLS, I FIND THAT THERE ACTUALLY WAS A SOLUTION, BUT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED BECAUSE WE DON'T LIVE IN THE CORRECT AREA OF THE COUNTRY. BUT WE DO LIVE CLOSE TO THE AFFECTED AREA. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED ONLY 3 YEARS AFTER IT WAS MADE. THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE AFFECTED AREA PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASE. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER DROVE THIS VEHICLE TO SCHOOL AND DROPPED OFF OUR 8 YEAR OLD TO SCHOOL FOR TWO YEARS. THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPANDED SO THAT I WAS AWARE OF IT TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE. *TR

WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH UP THE SAW MILL PARKWAY FROM BRONX NY. THIS PARKWAY IS TWO LANES WITH 3-4 LIGHTS DEPENDING WHERE YOU GET ON, SO I HAD 3 LIGHTS GOING NORTH. AT THE FIRST LIGHT I NOTICE THE BRAKES WERE WEEK. SECOND LIGHT HAD THE SAME NO PRESSURE BRAKE PEDDLE, AND THEN THE THIRD LIGHT I HAD NO PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE COULDN'T STOP AT THE RED LIGHT AND HAD SEEN THE CARS COMING FROM THE LEFT INTO THE INTERSECTION SO THAT MADE ME SWERVE HARD TO THE RIGHT AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE BLEW AND FLUID WAS LEAKING ALL OVER. I HAD BOTH OF MY DAUGHTERS, BROTHER IN-LAW, AND A FRIENDS SON IN THE TRUCK GOING TO A FAMILY PARTY IN CONNECTICUT AROUND 12PM.I HAD A COUPLE THINGS GOING FOR ME OTHER THAN BEING LUCKY, A GOOD DRIVER AND KNOWING THE HIGHWAY VERY WELL. I MADE IT TO THE MECHANIC SHOP AND SAW THAT ALL MY BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED UP THAT THE MECHANIC DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH THE OTHERS CAUSE THEY MIGHT BE VERY BRITTLE AND WILL BREAK VERY EASY. THIS TRUCK IS NOT MY MAIN VEHICLE AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE TILL I LOOKED UNDERNEATH. *TR

COMING TO A STOP SIGN THE BRAKE LINE BLEW OUT ON THE LEFT REAR RESULTING IN THE TRUCK NOT STOPPING AND ROLLING THROUGH A STOP SIGN. HAD THERE BEEN A CHILD ON A BIKE, A PERSON WALKING OR ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. UPON INSPECTION BY A MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT ALL MY BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED OUT AND NEED TO BE CHANGED. IM STILL WAITING FOR A QUOTE BUT ITS SAID TO BE OVER $1500! GM SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE AND THESE TRUCKS SHOULD BE RECALLED! *TR

I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MY SPARE TIRE WAS MISSING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SEAR AUTO CENTER THAT HAS BEEN SERVICING IT. WHEN THEY LOOKED UNDER THE CAR THEY SAID THAT IT WAS COMMON FOR THE YUKON SPARE TIRE CABLE TO RUST AND SNAP OFF. SO I LOST THE SPARE TIRE, SPARE WHEEL, AND CABLE SYSTEM TO HOLD THE SPARE UNDER THE VEHICLE. NOT SURE WHERE OR WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT SERVICE. HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS A NUMBER OF TIMES (AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT), AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE A/C UNIT REPAIRED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD THE WRONG CONTROL HEAD. ALSO, WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP I MOMENTARILY LOSE POWER STEERING. *TR

AS VEHICLE IS SLOWING TO A STOP, THE ABS ENGAGES LIFTS THE BRAKE PEDAL, ESSENTIALLY ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FORWARD, AND REQUIRING A QUICK REACTION TO STRONGLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY AND CORRODED ABS SPEED SENSOR, WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED ON THESE VEHICLES FROM 2002, BUT THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2001 YEAR. ANOTHER KNOWN ISSUE IS FAULTY ABS MODULES IN THESE VEHICLES WHICH TURN ON THE DASHBOARD BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS PERIODICALLY ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR ABS. *TT

ON JUNE 11, 2011 I DROVE MY 2001 GMC YUKON XL FROM CARLE PLACE NY TO SUMMIT NJ. THE TRIP CONSISTED OF MAINLY HIGHWAY MILEAGE. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. I MADE A LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. I PULLED INTO A SPOT AND JAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE ROLLED AND HOPPED THE CURB AND BUMPED INTO A FENCE. I BROKE A FEW BOARDS. I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, ROLLED BACK INTO THE SPOT, AND USED THE PARKING\EMERGENCY BREAK TO STOP. I GOT OUT, OPEN THE HOOD AND SAW I WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID. I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED UNDER AND SAW BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING OUT. I REACHED UNDER TO SEE WHERE THE DRIP WAS COMING FROM. IT APPEARS THE LINE BURST. CALLED AAA AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED BACK TO NY. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED ALL THE BREAK LINES COMPLETELY RUSTED. IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME THE OTHER LINES WOULD FAIL. IF I DROVE ANOTHER MILE IN NJ I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS DEFINITELY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED. THERE SHOULD BE A HIGH STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO BRAKES. STOPPING A VEHICLE IS MORE CRITICAL THAN MAKING IT MOVE. I CALLED GMC AND THEY SAID NO RECALLS EXIST FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY'RE SOLUTION IS TO VISIT A SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. 99% SURE I WILL BE EATING THIS EXPENSE. *TR

LOW SPEED BRAKE FAILURE RESULTING IN A REAR END COLLISION. I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AS THE 5 VEHICLE IN LINE TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE LIGHT. I WAS BRAKING LIGHTLY TO CONTROL MY SPEED AS TO ASSUME MY POSITION IN LINE TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I DID NOT NEED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS APPROACHING THE FOURTH CAR. THE THIRD CAR IN THE LINE SUDDENLY BRAKED HARD IN THE INTERSECTION CAUSING THE FOURTH CAR IN FRONT OF ME TO BRAKE HARD. I ATTEMPTED TO PERFORM AN EMERGENCY STOP BUT I EXPERIENCED A HARD BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO BRAKES AND THE INABILITY TO SLOW DOWN. THIS RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION FOR WHICH I WAS AT FAULT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF VEHICLE SIMILAR TO MINE WHICH ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURE BUT WITHOUT THE CRASH. I HAVE FAILED IN SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF GM THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND A PRODUCT ALLOCATION REQUEST. MY ONLY AVENUE NOW IS THROUGH YOUR ORGANIZATION OR A LEGAL CLASS ACTION MATTER. *JB
