The contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon xl.while driving 75 mph, the contact decelerated, but the speedometer displayed 120 mph.he stated that on some occasions the speedometer will display 0 mph and on other occasions it fails to display anything.the dealer diagnosed the failure as the steeper motor and stated that the instrumental panel needed to be replaced.the replacement will cost $600.gmc stated that they cannot investigate the failure because there are no reports available.the current mileage was 62,995 and failure mileage was 62,000.
Dt*:the contact stated the battery leaked acid causing the positive cable to become corroded.the vehicle was towed to a dealer for inspection, where it was determined the battery and cable would need to be replaced.the manufacturer was alerted.
Heated seat module failed and instead of just not working it stayed on, ran my battery down, caused my seat to get really hot to the touch and i was concerned about it catching fire.if a module is faulty it should shut off not stay on and caused the possibility of a fire and run your battery down.gm had to disconnect the seat module to get it to go off.they want $481 to fix and could not guarantee that it wouldn't happen again.i paid them $150 to disconnect and this way i know it won't happen again.this is a safety issue, my yukon could have burned up.....after buying a new battery (since this caused the other one to go bad)i had to disconnect the battery until i could get it to carl black to disconnect permanently.

My yukon xl k2500 with the 8.2 liter engine - 495 ci - burns oil and at first the dealer said it should not burn more than 1 quart every 1800 miles which mine does and the dealer/gm tried a new pvc valve then a new intake manifold gasket and nothing helped. Now gm says a quart every 100 gallons of gas is the cut off! *nlm

When filling up the fuel tank to the full level an exsesive lickage starts in the front top of the fuel tank for about 1 minute.no deaths yet but any fire under my suv during the lickage i'm sure it will blow up!
I also have had issues with the parking brake and abs.if more people complain maybe there will be action taken.i do have a fuel module recall that i hope is going to be corrected.there are some dealers that do not want to even correct your safety recall.i am having to travel an hour and a half to a dealer out of town because my local dealer does not want to deal with me.
Dt*:the contact stated a puddle of fuel had leaked from under the vehicle.an independent repair shop determined the leak came from the fuel pump.there was a nhtsa recall, # 05v155000, regarding the fuel pump.the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the vin.
Leaking fuel pump and strong smell of gas inside of car
Dt*:the contact stated there is a problem with the gasoline system.the vehicle sputters and stalls at intersections.the vehicle was taken to a service dealer who replaced the part.the problems continued to happen even after the part was replaced.there is a recall, # 05v155000 for the problem but a recall letter has not been received.
My 2001 gmc yukon xl has suffered from the fuel system problem made the subject of the recent recall by gm.the system has failed three times and left my wife and children stranded on interstate 45 and in galveston, tx.we have had to have the vehicle towed twice to gm dealerships with one dealership keeping the vehicle for a week without diagnosing the problem.the only solution these "certified" mechanics could think to do was replace the fuel pump, while i knew all along there had to be some kind of short in the fuel sending system.i have spent over $1,000.00 in repairs and towing charges and i still don't believe my vehicle has been properly repaired.i contacted gm about the recall and they have refused to include my yukon in the recall because they say it doesn't have the right vin number.when my vehicle has suffered from the very problem made the subject of the recall on at least three different occassions, how could gm exclude it from the recall because of a vin number.obviously gm has failed to properly notify the nhtsa of all of the vehicles affected by the fuel delivery system problem, probably in an effort to minimize costs.however, it is the consumers like me that are at risk when gm refuses to acknowledge their responsibility and liability for manufacturing defective products.my gmc yukon xl needs to be included in the recall and gm's recall list needs to be expanded to include all affected cars, not just the ones they pick and choose.my wife and kids safety are at issue here.
Dt:there was a problem with the fuel pump fusekept blowing out,andthis caused the engine to stall.the problem first occurred on september 11, 2005. A low fuel warning light cameon.the consumer stated had to keep an extra fuse on hand. Recall 05v1555000 was issued.when the consumer contacted the manufacturer, they told her that this vehicle wasincluded in the recall due to vin.
Lost power on highway 10:00 p.m car towed to dealer and was told fuel pump needs to be replaced, $966.00 this is the 2nd time first 2004 gas gauge was not marking levels dealer said "blown fuse" ? now this. They will not cover under recall because only "module reservoir" is in the recall who's to say the module reservoir defect isn't what caused (disabled) the fuel pump.making it necessaryto replace to fuel pump.
At approximately 35,000 miles on 2001 gmc yukon xl, the car began stalling when pulling into a parking space or when idling at red lights, etc.took the car to the dealership with complaint.we were told it needed the fuel injection service.we had this done at a local mechanic and the next time we refueled the vehicle, we smelled gas and noticed the car was leaking fuel.now any time we completely fill the vehicle with gas, it leaks and you can smell gas for a few days.when we took the car back to the dealership with this complaint, the car was then out of warranty, and the dealership wanted $250 just to look at the gas tank to see what was wrong.we denied that service.we were made aware of a possible problem through an article in the atlanta journal constitution on 9/14/04.
Problems with 2001 yukon xl emergency brake.*mr consumer heard a humming sound coming from under the vehicle and the abs light illuminated. When taken to the mechanic, the consumer was advisedthe throttle body and electronic brake module needed to be replaced.*ph. Also the emergency park brake was inoperative.
2001 gmc yukon xl developed problems with the fuel tank.***no answer required***. *mrthe vehicle fuel sender failed prior to recall notification.the consumer contacted the manufacturer and was told that the service kit was not available.the consumer doesn't fell safe.
I own a 2001 gmc yukon xl. For the past 6 months... I have had problems with the fuel gauge sensor element. It randomly fails...and registers no fuel in the tank...then within a few seconds....minutes..or perhaps an hour... The fuel gauge will suddenly appear full again... Although after each event.. The accuracy of the gauge measurement seems to get worse. It also seems to happen more when the tank is at or below "half full"...
While transmission was placed in park and vehicle was turned off,consumer's child moved transmission from park into drive without stepping on gas pedal or brake pedal. Contacted dealer. The consumer stated that when the ignition key is "c" position, the vehicle can be shifted out of park.there is no door ajar system for passenger doors.
Right glass lift gate hinge failed and broke away from glass after approximately 50,000 miles.lift gate was rendered inoperable but stayed shut.at about 60,000 miles the entire lift gate broke away and fell onto the road while driving.a replacement lift gate glass had to be purchased from a junk yard for $500.installation was performed by myself.
Dt:the contact stated the emergency brake failed twice. First, it happened in october 2002.the vehicle was taken to the dealership ,and they replaced the emergency brake bands ,and turned the drums.the dealership was unaware why it went out that early.this happened again in september 2005, the vehicle was taken back to the dealership, and they replaced the emergency brake system again.they said there was a clip in the brakes that may have fallen off.the contact then called gm, and they stated there was nothing that could be done.updated 11/29/2005.
Dt: the consumer stated that the parking brake system failed. The vehicle is a 2001 yukon xl. The consumer took the vehicle to a repair shop to have it repaired. The consumertalked to gm, and they offered no free repair. The brakes have been failing for the past year. The consumer's vehicle failed inspection, and that was how he figured out there was a problem. The consumer felt that this was similar to nhstarecall 05v161000.
The parking and emergency brake onthe vehicle was defective.the vehicle rolled back and has been serviced twice.the vehicle would roll frontwards as well. *sc
My 2001 yukon xl has experienced a mechanical parking brake problem since purchase in 2000.at approximate mileage 11500 i took the vehicle into the gmc dealership where it was purchased to complain that the parking brake went to the floor when applied.they told me that was the way it was designed.since that time i have tried to use the parking brake several times and found that it did not hold the vehicle when applied.a few months ago i had my vehicle serviced by a non gmc shop and told them about a "swishing/rubbing noise coming from the rear of the vehicle, which now has approximately 73 k miles on it.they told me that this was the parking brake pads rubbing on the rotor and that this was a gmc design flaw that gmc was well aware of.i then took the vehicle to a gmc shop, coury gmc in mesa, az, where i bought the vehicle.i again told them of the non functional brake as i had previously done at the 11.5k mileage mark.service personnel again told me that the brake was designed to go to the floor when applied.they also told me that the rear rotor and emergency brake pad was worn out and needed replacement.i showed them the previous service order from the 11.5k mileage mark.they told me that they would not fix the parking brake at their expence because too many miles had accumulated between complaints.i live in the arizona desert and can count on one hand the number of times that i have applied then released the parking brake as it does not hold the vehicle.according to independent shop owners the parking brake design is defective and wears out even if it is not used.this is obviously apparent in my case.not only does the parking brake not hold the vehicle when applied it wears out when not in use and causes damage to the rear brake rotor, a definate safety issue.i was not surprised that there are many other complaints on the nhtsa website covering this very issue.
Parking brake prematurely worn out.
On may 17, 2003 my 4 year old daughter was killed in our driveway by our 2001 gmc yukon.we were cleaning the rear of our vehicle when the vehicle came out of gear and the parking brake failed to hold the vehicle.my 2 year old son was in the vehicle at the time, but there is no way that he could have applied the brake to release the vehicle out of gear.this is something that no family should have to endure and i am asking for help in proving these failures.i feel there are two failures with this vehicle.the parking brake on all models of these vehicles fails to hold these vehicles.i have searched your websites to find 50 plus complaints about the parking brake on gmc/chevrolet vehicles of this kind failing to hold the vehicle and vehicles not passing safety inspections because the parking brake does not support the vehicle.the second issue is i believe that there was either a malfunction of the transmission or that there are mechanical overrides in this vehicle as in the 2003 gmc envoy recall campaign #03v075 that can allow the transmission to be shifted out of park with the ignition in the off position. I also, i found odi id number: 897722 which shows that this should be investigated.i believe a full investigation should be done on the parking brake and the transmission of the gmc and chevrolet vehicles. This is the link tothe accident.http://www.springsgov.com/newsresults.asp?newsid=688please help!!!!!!
Consumer complained about anemergency parking brake problem.consumer stated emergency parking brake didn't hold. This vehiclefailed the state safety inspectiondue to the parking brake problem.
I also have had issues with the parking brake and abs.if more people complain maybe there will be action taken.i do have a fuel module recall that i hope is going to be corrected.there are some dealers that do not want to even correct your safety recall.i am having to travel an hour and a half to a dealer out of town because my local dealer does not want to deal with me.
2001 yukon/xl parking brake does not work.failed inspection twice, first repaired under warranty at ~15k miles, second for $225 at ~65k miles.never has held.last time was adjusted to hold, drags brake when released as too tight. Obvious poor design and safety hazard.can never assume parking brake will hold.
Emergency brake does not work properly, vehicle has failed the safety inspection twice. Manufacturer informed consumer thatdealer adjusted emergency brakes to their specifications, and nothing else would be done. ....
Heard slight grinding noises while making turns.short time later i discoverd the parking brake would not hold the vehicle while in neutral with the motor running.vehicle begin rolling down my driveway.made appointment with dealer and discovered parking brake drums and shoes were worn out.repaired under warranty, but considering the work involved, i am sure it would have been rather expensive. I hope the dealer used the new style spring clip.
I have a 2001 gmc yukon xl and took it in for some routine maintenance at about 30k miles.the dealer informed me that the parking brake was not operating properly (would not hold the vehicle).since it is a wear item it wasn't covered by the warranty.i have owned several gm vehicles as well as many of my family members and i have never had a problem with the parking brake wearing out, let alone prior to 30k miles.the original dealer gave us an estimate of $800 to fix the parking brake. At this time we are waiting a response from gm's customer service dept.
Non-working parking brake. If the vehicle is left in neutral (automatic or manual) with the parking brake applied the vehicle can roll. See 05v161000. This is caused by a design flaw from the manufacturer that causes the parking brake to not fully disengage while driving causing wear on the parking brake components. These vehicles have separate brake systems for normal and parking brakes. The parking brake system should never wear out.applies to all 1999 - 2005 gm & gmc full size pickups and full size suv vehicles.
My 2001 yukon xl failed inspection on 10/06/2003 due to an inoperative emergency/parking brake. The gmc dealer which performed inspections that this is a known problem (the parking brake hanging open and wearing) to both the dealer and to gm, but no recall has been issued.my husband adjusted the emergency/parking brake the same evening and the suv passed at re-inspection the following morning, however, the emergency/parking brake is again hung open and wearing (less than 24 hours after being fixed and passing inspection).*la
Consumer complained about aparking brake problem.when parking brake was applied vehicle began to roll backward.
I own a 2001 yukon xl and have a parking brake problem. When the pedal is pushed, it goes all the way to the floor. When i raised this issue with the service dept. In the first 3,000 miles, i was told this is normal, but have since discovered otherwise. I now have 46,000 miles on the vehicle. I just paid $125.00 to have it repaired by another dealer who told me of the design defect. Gm needs to recall all the vehicles and correct the design flaw.
2001 yukon xl parking brake inoperative.dealer says normal wear and tear.but car is in excellent condition and i hardly ever use the parking brake.normal brakes are still good at 68000 miles.informed by several mechanics that this is a normal occurrence with this vehicle.this is a design flaw gm should fix.

2001 yukon xl parking brakes inoperative.failed dealer inspection.he said they just wear out.interesting, my vehicle has 60000, and the disc brakes are still the original.i have rarely used the parking brake.maybe on a hill once or twice. This is a design problem or a module problem and gmc is not taking responsibility. I have an extended warranty and its not covered according to the dealer.the abs went out at 40000, and was covered by the warranty.i'm perplexed about gmc's lack of concern for its products and safety.
2001 gmc yukon.abs module failed causing pump to run continuously.rather than pay $1,000 for repair, opted to have fuse pulled (suggested by gmc service manager).abs light on dashboard stays lit constantly now.so does the brake light.parking/emergency brake has not worked for three years now.two weeks ago the traction assist off light came on and now it stays lit up too.from what i read in the owners manual, this problem may possibly be related to the abs.after much internet research, i have come to learn that problems referenced above are quite common with gmc vehicles.since the problems are related to the braking capability of the vehicle i believe there are some serious safety issues that need to be addressed.not to mention the fact that i will lose approximately $1500-$2000 value when i try to sell this vehicle.

The vehicle didn't pass inspection because the parkingbrake failed. *nlm
My2001 gmc yukon xl 1500 sltparking brake has failed.the vehicle has 66000 miles and is in excellent condition and properly maintained. The parking brake foot lever goes to the floor and does not hold at all.the parking brake failure was reported to me by a chevy/gmc dealer during my latest state vehicle safety inspection.i am the second owner of the vehicle.the original owner says he never used the parking brake.i have never used theparking brake because it is not needed in our flat terrain.according to repair shops and the internet, this is a common safety problem with many os these vehicles.you may already be aware of this safety problem, but i show no information on your web site.i am informing you of this to perhaps prevent a serious accident.any help you can provide will be grateful.
2001 yukon parking brake was pre-maturely worn.my own rudimentary research shows that this is becoming a pervasive problem for many late model gm suv/truck owners.brake shoe was gone, scraping metal to metal with rotor.parking brake was not functional and potential hazardous if relied upon for parking on an incline.defect in the brake shoe alone was $250 to repair + $200 to replace the rotor damaged by the faulty brake shoe.gm has acknowledged this problem with a service bulletin, but refuses to replace voluntarily.

Parking brake failure and transmission failure.resulting in death of 4 year old child.please sign my petition if you have this problem.www.starinti.com.
While transmission was placed in park and vehicle was turned off,consumer's child moved transmission from park into drive without stepping on gas pedal or brake pedal. Contacted dealer. The consumer stated that when the ignition key is "c" position, the vehicle can be shifted out of park.there is no door ajar system for passenger doors.
I purchased a 2001 gmc yukon xl 06/15/01. In the early 40k mile period on my 2001 i started hearing a road noise that i thought was my new tires. I took my vehicle in to marlow-werner pontiac gmc in punta gorda, florida on 3/06/03 at 44,792 miles and told them i had some sort of tire noise if they could check out. They reported no problem. The noise kept getting louder during a 6 hour trip. Upon returning to town we took it into tuffy auto service center in port charlotte. We told them we thought it was a bearingnoise and to please check it out. They had the knowledge to put it on the lift and put in gear and realized it was the rear end. We immediately took it to marlow-werner and told them what tuffy had said. They checked out the vehicle and told us the complete rear end needed to be redone. The bearings were scored and they had to replace all the rear differential bearings, pinion, and side bearings. I have had my vehicle serviced at the dealer every 3k miles as per manufacturer recommendations. I have never known a new vehicle with 40k miles have the rear end go out this way. I feel there is a manufacturer defect and they should have repaired it at no cost to me. They charged me 50% of the repair cost under the goodwill warranty. I feel this is a problem that needs to be checked into further and should have not happened with the low mileage and is a safety concern. I called gmc on 4/2/03 and spoke with darren christensenwhich is a consumer relations manager. The file number is #1-867-42264. He said he didn't know how i drove my vehicle and if i hadn't drove on it for so long the repair wouldn't have been so extensive. I was furious. I told him that i use my vehicle to take my two kids to school and on vacations and was not a hard driver. He told me he couldn't help me any further and that they would only cover the 50%. I just want this noted in case there are other consumers that are having the same problem with the rear pinion/bearings.
Dt:the contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon xl. He states there was a recall for his vehicle on the seat belt retractors nhtsa campaign id number is 01v159000. The recall states that there could be a no lock condition but the consumer reported an incident where the seat belt would not come unlocked. This was the first time of any problem with the seat belts. The incident also happened without any type of warning. The buckle was free of dirt and other contaminants. The dealership stated that there was not a recall for this problem and that they were glad his daughter was okay. In april 2005 his daughter got stuck in the seat belt and they had to cut it to get her out. The seat belt was outboard left side second row of seating.
Heated seat module failed and instead of just not working it stayed on, ran my battery down, caused my seat to get really hot to the touch and i was concerned about it catching fire.if a module is faulty it should shut off not stay on and caused the possibility of a fire and run your battery down.gm had to disconnect the seat module to get it to go off.they want $481 to fix and could not guarantee that it wouldn't happen again.i paid them $150 to disconnect and this way i know it won't happen again.this is a safety issue, my yukon could have burned up.....after buying a new battery (since this caused the other one to go bad)i had to disconnect the battery until i could get it to carl black to disconnect permanently.
Was driving and a police car pulled out in front of me from a shopping center. I applied my brakes and a rear brake line burst. I stopped about 1 foot from the police cruiser. Had enough fluid left in system to get off the road. Had lines inspected within the last 6 months and there was no indication that they were bad. Had to replace both rear brake lines.
The contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon xl. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, the brakes failed. As a result, the contact crashed into a ditch. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The technician stated that the brake lines needed to be replaced. The vehicle has been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
While coming to stop, brake pedal went to floor. Brake line erupted and brake fluid began pouring out. No pressure and brake light came on. Repair completed, but ase shop confirmed there is a safety notice about rusted lines. Awaiting recall.
Our dashboard abs indicator light came on.when we shut the vehicle off,a buzzing motor sound stillkept running.we unplugged the battery so it would not run down.we looked on the internet and found a ton of other people have had the same incidents.we noticed that many of the people who experienced the exact problems we were having, also had brake issues while driving.we reconnected our battery, disconnected the abs module and the motor sound stopped, but now we don't have the abs system activated.is there a recall for this?it seems as though it is a recurring problem for many people and because it involves the brake system it seems very dangerous. According to other people it is very expensive to repair as well (approx. $1500.00).has gmc addressed this? we have a suburban yukon xl, 2001.
Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor with decreased stopping ability.shop found corroded brake lines with fluid leaking.all lines heavily corroded and are currently being replaced.
I was driving home from work and my brakes failed without warning. I barely avoided collision with a car. Car got towed to mechanics. Luckily no one got hurt.
At home, started truck, drove short distance on driveway and applied brakes.brake pedal went to floor.saw puddle of brake fluid on driver's side mid way below truck.could hear brake fluid escaping when brakes applied (pumping), then saw fluid dripping from under truck.had truck towed to dealer, who found brake line leaking above fuel tank and noted all brake lines very rusty (except line above rear axle, which had been replaced on 2012).dealer fabricated and replaced all brake lines from frt to junction above spare tire.
While driving to work in spring 2018, i approached traffic light, depressed brake, which went to floor and had to use parking break to stop. Had vehicle towed to replace front brake lines. Then, 6-8 months later, while driving, came to another stop light, depressed brakes and could not stop until i used parking/emergency brake.had yukon xl towed to repair shop and had rear brake lines replaced in fall, 2018. Since then, brake lights and abs lights come on and stay on, whereas other times when starting and driving, brake & abs lights come on and then go off while driving. Braking has always seemed to be insufficient.
I was traveling approximately 40 mph on a 4 lane street.as i approached a stop light, the light changed from green to red.i applied the brakes and they did not work.i drove right through the intersection and avoided a collision with 2 other vehicles.i was going downhill and picking up speed as i approached the next intersection.the light changed to red and by this time i was going approximately 50 mph.as 2 cars went across in front of me from opposite directions, i was somehow able to drive between them.i was eventually able to shift into neutral and drove approximately 1/2 mile until i was able to turn off of the main road and into a parking lot.i ended up having to drive around the parking lot until i was able to stop.my 15 year old son and i were extremely shaken and very fortunate to have avoided an accident and serious injury or death.we had the vehicle towed and we were told that all of the brakes lines were completely corroded and there was nothing left of them.after a $160 towing bill and a $1,180 repair bill, we have discovered that this is a recurring problem with the 2001 gmc yukon.the dealership had 2 similar vehicles in their shop that day that had the same problemgeneral motors needs to step up and admit that they made a huge mistake with these brake lines. This could have had a different outcome.my son and i could have been killed and/or another innocent person could have also been killed.my son says he will never ride in this vehicle again.please do something about this situation before somebody dies, as a result of these cheap steel brake lines that corrode, especially in states that use salt on their roads during the winter months.
The brake lines are severely rusted and this is the second failure with loss of brakes.the pedal goes to the floor.
The contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon xl.while driving 25 mph, the anti-lock brake system engaged without being prompted and caused the vehicle not to stop in a timely manner. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 246,000.
2001 yukon xl, turned into a parking space going about 4 mph put on the brakes, abs started pumping and the car did not stop.hit the car parked in front of me.
Interior abs light illuminated, then a humming noise heard under the driver side compartment. Gmc dealer diagnosed the problem as failure of the abs electronic module unit. They advised me that it would be $1130.00 + tax to replace. This brake failure occurred at 70,000 miles. This is the second time this has happen to this vehicle. The other time it was under a extended warranty (09/2004).i hope this will not happen every 3 years. Dealership says they replace them all the time. I was told it was placed next to the frame where water could get in the unit and cause damage...enough to replace.hopefully a recall campaign will happen before i have to replace the next one. I have read numerous complaints about this type of brake failure.

They advised me that it would be $1200.00 dollars($800.00 parts and $400.00 labor cost) to repair. This brake failure occurred at 74,000 miles. I'm presently operating the vehicle on just the main brake system, after having disconnected the abs system. I have been unable to find a cheaper after market replacement abs electronic module unit.i have read numerous complaint on your web site about this type of brake failure. Hopefully thiswill result in a recall campaign.
Started my 2001 yukon xl and went to work this morning, on the way to work the abs light went on.when i got to work and turn the vehicle off there was a buzzing sound from beneath the drivers side, that would not stop.*mr
Abs breaks on at low speeds
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).when the vehicle is at a low speed near stopping the brake kicks back as if the abs becomes activated and the stopping distance is increased. This occurs on all surfaces wet or dry. The issue has not been corrected and the parts are available. The same vehicle (year/make/model) has a recall for the same issue but i have been told my vehicle is not included in the recall per the vin number. The gm recall number is 05068 and your report number is 05v521000. [xxx]. The system will not allow me to enter this as my vin.
The contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon xl.the contact stated that he had issues with the brakes on his vehicle.the sensor would automatically apply the brakes while accelerating from a stop.in addition, the brakes would automatically lock while driving at low speeds.a mechanic stated that the wheel speed sensor needed to be replaced.there was no recall so the dealer would not replace the component for free.the contact took his vehicle to the dealer and was informed that there was a tsb for the failure.he would have to pay $300 to replace the wheel speed sensor.the contact informed the dealer that he would have his mechanic repair it for $75.the failure mileage was 102,783.
Corrosion between front hub/bearing assembly and wheel speed sensor in gmc yukon xl causing unwanted anti-lock brake system (abs) activation when vehicle is traveling at a speed of approx. 7 mph during braking. Can lead to crash.recall bulletin 05068 covers this issue and my vin is in the bulletin for recall, but gm will not cover expense for repair. Their electronic database doesn't have my vin in the system and refuse service despite its inclusion within the recall. I live in ohio and bought the vehicle in ohio. The recall covers ohio vehicles and other high corrosion states in the u.s.
- the contact called regarding the2001 gmc yukon.on february 13, 2007, the contact was travelingat45-50 mphand rear ended a garbage truck.the contact had adequate time to stop, but whenshe applied the brakes,the vehicle slid into the truck.the road conditions were dry.there was one injury.a police report was filed.the vehicle was towed away.the failure mileage was126,000. The contact took the vehicle in several times to the dealer,and the dealer couldnot find anything wrong with the brakes.
Vehicle lost braking action at low speeds.this occurred intermittently, about once a week over a one month period. Vehicle had adequate brake fluid.no dash indicator lights indicated a brake or abs problem.no collision occurred, no injuries occurred, due to lack of traffic and adequate stopping distance.repair shop notified customer many similar vehicles were covered by an abs brake recall.gm was contacted and said this specific vehicle was not covered under the recall.vehicle was taken to a repair shop and diagnosed with anabs sensor failure at low speed on the left front wheel.parts will be saved.published recall documents indicate several states, including the state of missouri were involved with this recall.this vehicle came from a missouri, gmc dealer, was sold by a kansas, gmc dealer.this vehicle was driven extensively in the kansas city, missouri metropolitan area.
Vehicle was taken to dealer for (2) recalls during which time an inspection of the brakes required complete replacement of four(4) rotors and linings. Brake lining has less than 25% wear except for the emergency brake lining was destroyed, making the emergency brake non-functional.dealer stated that excessive corrosion cause damage to emergency brake and unsafe condition of all four rotors. Dealer replaced rotors and brake linings at cost of $900.00. Contacted gmc customer service to report safety issue and file claim. Reimbursement denied.
Near major accident on i95 due to broken brake line.
2001 yukon xl1)abs brakes resist between 1 and 10 mph; usually at or around 3 to 5 mph; consistently and only at these low rates of speed2)usually causes stopping to be at greater distance than driver expects; although it did cause us to roll into an intersection the other day by resisting to stop.3)my mechanic can find no problem with brakes, roters, etc... Seems to be related to sensor.
Abs and traction assist went out..i have 56000 miles on my vehicle.others with the same problem are trying to get a recall out on these types of problems..pretty sad that gm cannot make a longer lasting and more efficient vehicle.
Abs brake failure on my gmc 2001 yukon01. 1st failure occurred at 18000 miles. Dealer would only fix if i spend $600 on all new rotors & pads(all 4 wheels). Ask to check all other sensors at the time. They said the where ok. 2 nd failure 1800 miles later. Would fix for $495
Antilock brakes consistently engaging at low speeds
Dt*: the contact stated the abs system engages at low speeds of approximately 5-10 mph.there is a grinding noise heard as the braking occurs.the brake pedal has to be depressed to the floor before stopping will occur.there is an nhtsa recall, # 05v379000, regarding the hydraulic: antilock.the vin was not included in the recall.
After experiencing abs problems and immediately repairing our 2001 gmc yukon xl regarding the corrosion between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor last year (the hubs and sensors were cleaned and lubed, not replaced), our abs warning light appeared two weeks after the repair. We also began hearing a rubbing sound coming from the front wheels when driving.we notified bob sellers about this, and they reset the abs light.on the way home, the abs warning light came on again. When we took the yukon in to bob sellers to investigate further, they did a computer scan check with the codes indicating "pump motor ck open" and pump motor k shorted."they also typed "clear codes road test over 15 miles, abs did not reset codes."bob sellers now quotes us over $1,000.00 to repair the motor, something we cannot afford.we are very suspicious how this occurred in tandem with the repair and are asking for nhtsa to please look into this. When we needed our abs to engage during the winter season, they failed. Our yukon was recently taken in again when the recall regarding the aforementioned problem was issued, and once again, all bob sellers did was clean and lube the sensors, not replace them. Please advise, so my family and i are not at risk with this horrible brake situation as the winter season approaches. Thank you.
2001 gmc yukon abs system engaging at slow speeds. Creating dangerous normal driving stopping distances, numerous near collisions. Gm will not cover repairs in the state of wi.
Abs module failurethe abs module in my 2001 yukon xl has failed.it will cost me $1200 to replace it.what happens is that the module fails, and the abs motor starts running continually.this is a prevalent problem with gm vehicles from what i have read on the internet, and what i have heard second hand from a service manager at a gm dealership.i noticed today that you are investigating fires resulting from abs modules, and wanted you to know that this is a known problem for gm.i sent gm an email about this, but since i hadn't taken my vehicle to a gm dealer for repair, rather i took it to a local auto repair shop, they were unwilling to do anything about it.when i ultimately took it in, they said it would cost $1200 to fix.
I have a 2001 yukon xl which has had three instances of known design failures in the braking system -- both emergency features, both well known to the manufacturer.the first is a known design defect in the retaining clip of the emergency/parking brake mechansim.as a result the parking brake will wear out within 20-30k miles.the second is an electrical failure in the ebcm (braking control module) where the abs motor shorts into a always on position.the only way to drive the vehicle is to remove the abs fuse and do without the abs feature.neither known safety issue has a recall assocaited with it.
Dt:dt: the contact states there is nhtsa recall campaign id #05v379000 concerning the antilock brakes.this vehicle is experiencing the same symptoms as indicated in the recall, but is not included in the recall due to the vin. There have been no corrections made to the vehicle at this time.
Abs and rear brake failure.
We own a 2001 gmc yukon xl which is under recall for defective anti-lock brake system.we bought the car used with 100,000 miles on it.the car originally came from michigan; however, we live in tn.the car does not stop when you are traveling at low speeds.there have been countless instances where our car hasn't stopped and we have traveled into oncoming traffic.thankfully, we haven't had an accident involving another vehicle yet. When driving my son to school this morning, we had ice on our roads and it was even more impossible to stop...i worry that with winter conditions, and the need to drive slower, the possibility of an accident with this vehicle will increase.i had heard about the recall months ago on the local news and was worried why we hadn't received our notice.my husband and i have called gmc dealerships in tn repeatedly, but no one would help us until we received a notice from gmc.when i returned home this morning, on friday, december 16, i called the gmc recall information line and spoke with a representative there.i was first informed that my car doesn't qualify for the recall because it has high mileage and is not presently in a northern state.the fact that there is no gmc maintenance record on file was also an issue.i felt that the mileage and the fact that it's not in a northern state now shouldn't affect whether the car qualifies, i was told that it wasn't those factors after all, and that the vin number on our vehicle is traced and they felt no defective part had been placed in our particular vehicle originally.i was informed that any help from gmc for repairs would be on a goodwill basis only and that i would probably be better off taking the vehicle to a cheaper, independently owned car repair shop and have the repairs done myself.i feel gmc is responsible for these repairs.i feel if we lived in michigan, our car would already have been repaired and that gmc is using that fact to get out of funding the work.
I have a 2001 gmc yukon xl.recently there was a recall for a failure of the abs brake sensors which caused the brakes to pump rapidly at low speeds due to the seals of the bearings going bad and allowing dirt and road salt to get to the sensors.well in early july i had no problems with my vehicle.sometime in late july i started getting the pulsing of the brakes.i was told to wait for the recall, and was able to have the abs disabled by loosening one of the sensors.i brought the vehicle in, the dealer replaced both sensors in the front wheel hubs, but then stated the bearings had gone bad and i needed a new wheel hub.now the car still has no abs, and has a funny feel from that wheel hub.the truck has approx 53,000miles on it.how can the recall say it is based ona faulty seal of the wheel bearings going bad, and they are not responsible to replace the seal or the bearings if they go bad due to their defect?i have contacted gm customer service a number of times and all they say is "the recall covers the sensors only, the wheel hub is a wear and tear part" and do not show how their defect is not the cause.
Dt: the contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon xl. The contact states that he has been having problems with the abs computer pump. The vehicle would make a lot of noise. It sounds as if someone was beating on the fender of the truck ,and it was probably making this noise because of the pump continuing to run. The dealership was unable to correct the problem.the contacttook the fuse out of the vehicle which shut the pump off.currently,he does not have the problem. The dealership wanted almost $1400 to correct the problem ,they where going to replace the pump. This problem first began onjanuary of 2005.
When i brake at slow speeds in my 2001 gmc yukon xl, the antilock brake system causes a chattering and you have to push very hard on the brake pedal to get this to stop and then the brakes start to work and you can slow down and stop.however, sometimes, i think the car just isn't going to stop.
Problems with 2001 yukon xl emergency brake.*mr consumer heard a humming sound coming from under the vehicle and the abs light illuminated. When taken to the mechanic, the consumer was advisedthe throttle body and electronic brake module needed to be replaced.*ph. Also the emergency park brake was inoperative.
2001 gmc yukon.abs module failed causing pump to run continuously.rather than pay $1,000 for repair, opted to have fuse pulled (suggested by gmc service manager).abs light on dashboard stays lit constantly now.so does the brake light.parking/emergency brake has not worked for three years now.two weeks ago the traction assist off light came on and now it stays lit up too.from what i read in the owners manual, this problem may possibly be related to the abs.after much internet research, i have come to learn that problems referenced above are quite common with gmc vehicles.since the problems are related to the braking capability of the vehicle i believe there are some serious safety issues that need to be addressed.not to mention the fact that i will lose approximately $1500-$2000 value when i try to sell this vehicle.
The antilock braking system activates consistently at low speeds on my 2001 gmc yukon xl.the manufacturer has issued a service bulletin addressing the problem but there is no recall.they place the blame on rust affecting the sensors but i have never experienced the problem on any other anti-lock braking system i have had, nor have i ever heard of the problem before. I believe the problem results from the system's design and believe it is a safety issue.i stopped driving my vehicle because the first occurences were startling and i nearly hit another vehicle.the situation did not call for a panic stop but i was startled when it activated and confused by what was happening.it could have been a pedestrian and caused injury even at low speed.the vehicle is now in for repair, which will cost a minimum of $200 plus replacement of any sensors which may not be able to be cleaned.i contacted gm and their response was that i was out of warranty. I believe the liability is the manufacturer's and the system should be modified or corrected to perform safely in all climates in which they market vehicles.especially since many of the affected vehicles are marketed with 4-wheel and all-wheel drive performance as a selling point.thank you for your attention to this matter.

My 2001 yukon xl has 50,000 miles on it. Upon startup the abs light stayed on and the pump motor continues to run. The only way to stop it is to pull the abs fuse which turns on the brake light. The vehicle is drivable but only with normal braking and no safety of the abs. I have read several other complaints on this failure and feel that gmc should be very concerned about the quality of their product. I have received estimates on the repairs but have not completed them as of yet. In states which there are vehicle inspections this problem would cause the failure of inspection which leads me to believe this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed as such.

The abs control system failed on my 2001 yukon xl at 42,000 miles. It failed again at 88,000 miles. Gm said this is an isolated problem. It is not. There is a problem with the abs in this vehicle.
1-at low speed braking (3-5mph), the anti lock brake system causes the peddle to pulsate and groon. Several times the system just gave up and allowed the vehicle to slide intointersections, before stopping.2-no consequences yet3- took 2001 yukon xl to local gmc dealer, for service. Dealer report was left front hub assembly was heavily corroded. Front rotors were rusty and needed to be cut, rear rotors were rusty and needed to be cut, also rear pads need replacement. Vehicle has only 26,000 miles. Vehicle was not repaired at this time, feeling there is a safety issue with the hub assemby and replacing other parts are not totally necessary.
Abs and rear brake failure.
The contact owns a 2001 gmc yukon xl. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, the brakes failed. As a result, the contact crashed into a ditch. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The technician stated that the brake lines needed to be replaced. The vehicle has been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Lost steering and brakes. Shaft in pump snapped off inside housing.towed to gm garage and new pump installed. Happened when backing and turning sharply over rough ground. Night. 70 degrees.returned to campground using two hands on steering wheel and parking brake. On 4000 mile trip pulling 3 ton trailer.waited 4 days for repair to be completed.
Driving truck and couldn't gain control and was driving on its own.
Clunking noise when steering wheel is turned during slow maneuvers or when going over rough roads.
Sudden loss of power steering, occuring while turnig.
While driving at an undetermined speed vehicle experienced power steering failure. Steering wheel wouldn't turn. Dealership indicated that this failure was caused by a defect at time of vehicle being manufactured.consumer phone number is 491.6099170881.
Power steering pump failure 2001 yukon xl. Dealer determined failure to be a sheared shaft on the power steering pump, which caused immediate loss of power steering. Fortunately the failure occurred at low speed in a parking lot. Dealer and gm conclude that failure was due to cold weather . Temperature (according to log from local airport) was 21.2 degrees f at the approximate time of failure (about 5:30 pm on 2-5-2004). Vehicle mileage was approximately 46,000 miles at the time. The loss of power steering was immediate turned one direction, everything was fine, turned back and had no power assist. Attempted to remedy through gm and was flatly denied, although dealer service manager admits that this is not a rare occurrence on vehicles of this platform. I am personally aware of one other failure on similar vehicle (chevy pickup), which was covered under the standard 36,000 mile warranty. Gm apparently does not consider this immediate loss of power steering on a 5500 pound suv a safety issue i on the other hand am just glad it did not occur at highway speeds.
Wife was backing out of the driveway and heard a loud popping sound and the power steering went out. It was hard to turn the vehicle and she eventually made it home. I checked the steering and it was malfunctioning. I have heard this has been recalled in the past and we notified the manufacturer gmc and they stated our vehicle vin was not on the list and could not be repaired unless we paid for the vehicle repair. I believe this is a safety hazard. If they had recalled this in the past it should have been rectified with the vehicles sold after the recall. I believe we should not have to pay for this and the manufacturer should take responsibility.
Sudden loss of power steering, occuring while turnig.
Dt*:the contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the power steering pump failed due to binding.there was no warning prior to the pump binding.the road conditions were dry and bumpy.the failure occurred under normal driving conditions. The contact was unable to steer the vehicle.the vehicle was towed to the private repair shop where they determined that the shaft on the power steering unit had detached.the power steering unit was replaced.the manufacturer was also notified.

The spare tire fell off the truck.is held on by a hoist and cable system. The cable broke allowing the tire to fall to the ground.luckily the vehicle was being backed out of the garage and not going down the road when it happened.this could have been fatal for my family or others on the road! so far i have called the dealership and gmc.they want to schedule an appointment but as of right now do not want to cover the part because its more than seven years old.this is not acceptable.this part failed and could have caused injury to my family and or others. Incident happened this morning on 12/9/11.
Identical complaint as filed on #10032993. Rear tailgate glass has never been opened on our vehicle always opened entire tail gate when opening. The passenger side hinge mounted to fiber material adhered to glass has completly broken free of glass mounting bracket.
I opened back rear lift glass and it made a very strange noise.i closed it then noticed it was not sitting straight so i opened it again to see what the problem was. When i tried to close it again it would not lock and then one hinge holding the glass on just broke and then the glass was only held on by one hinge and was completely crooked. I contacted gmc dealer and they said $1,100.00 repair because they had to repair the whole glass plus the hinges.i found out that a couple other people in my small area had the same problem and then i found somewhere on this website there had been 3 more complaints about it.when i spoke with gmc they said it wasn't anything i did and it wasn't due from wear and tear that it just broke.apparently the part that broke on mine was the welding came off.i think if an investigation is started that gmc will find out there are a lot more people in this country who have had the same problem.
The rear liftgate hinges, that are glued to the rear liftgate glass, has come free from the glass.neither the glass liftgate or hinges are damaged, the attaching compound (i.e. Glue?) has failed.the car is still under a factory extended warranty, but gmc cannot repair the defect.they must replaceundamaged items in order to replace the failed adhesive.
I currently own (purchased new) a 2001 yukon xl which is equipped with a rear tailgate having a hinged rear window which allows access to the rear compartment without opening the tailgate. The rear tailgate glass is secured to the tailgate via two hinges which are secured to the glass by an adhesive. The passenger side window hinge has delaminated from the tailgate glass resulting in the window being secured to the vehicle with one hinge. There is no mechanical securement to the glass. I have been told by several different service professionals (inside and out of gm) that this is a known problem. However, no service bulletins or recalls exist torepair the hinge failure.i have been attempting to work this issue with the gmc customer service team and have a case opened (1-122096729).i believe that opening the door windows on the vehicle would cause additional stress on the remaining hinge. Therefore, ibelieve this is a potential safety issue since the window could break free from the vehicle if the second hinge fails resulting in a safety hazard for any vehicle directly behind or adjacent to the vehicle. If you have any questions, please call.
-the contactowns a 2001 gmc yukon.while driving he heard a loud noise that sounded like metal clashing on metal.the contact took it to the dealer, and they stated that the failure wasdue to a a defective flex plate.he felt that this was a huge safetyproblem because the failure could result in a loss of the ability to stop the vehicle.also,this was a huge concern for anyone whowas pulling a travel trailer.the contact couldprovide pictures if needed. The failure was 80,000 miles. The noise was noticed a idle and particularly at acceleration. It was determined that the flex plate connecting the crank torque converter was fractured. The consumer stated the probable failure mode on this part is flexural fatigue which would result misalignment of the transmission input shaft and the crankshaft, or excessive run out on the attachment surface of either the crankshaft or the converter.

Corrosion between front hub/bearing assembly and wheel speed sensor in gmc yukon xl causing unwanted anti-lock brake system (abs) activation when vehicle is traveling at a speed of approx. 7 mph during braking. Can lead to crash.recall bulletin 05068 covers this issue and my vin is in the bulletin for recall, but gm will not cover expense for repair. Their electronic database doesn't have my vin in the system and refuse service despite its inclusion within the recall. I live in ohio and bought the vehicle in ohio. The recall covers ohio vehicles and other high corrosion states in the u.s.
