No summary listed for above vehicle.
Owner applied brakes and the vehicle kept going and hit another vehicle.upon impact,neither driver's side nor passenger's side airbags deployed.dealer has seen vehicle.
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at approximately 45 mph with another vehicle. Upon impact, both air bags failed to deploy. Dealer notified.
We contacted gmc customer service (victor johnson)and requested an investigation. Gmc has now told us that since no one was fatally injured there will be no investigation. How can they do this? my wife has been injured - probably permanently- and we want to know why they did not deploy - as this was a direct frontal impact. I believe that the manufacturer has an obligation to us and is merely playing a game at this point. Is it in our best interest to hire an attorney on the matter or what should we do?
Consumer involved in an accident, rearended another vehicle.vehicle traveling at approximately 50 mph, and air bags did not deploy.please fill in any additional information.
Vehicle was cut off by another vehicle. Had to apply brakes (abs) quickly, which failed to work. Vehicle then dove into concrete cover. Upon impact, the dual air bags failed to deploy. The seat belt jerked hard on driver, causing bruises. Gmc file number 99-153-17801.

The metal hydraulic brake line running from the master cylinder to the passenger side front disc brake assembly ruptured, causingthe vehicle to lose its braking power while the vehicle was being driven. This line crosses the front of the vehicle and then runs on top of the frame just under where the battery is located. After inspecting and finding the hole it was very apparent that battery acid/corrosion had dripped onto the line,, causing it to be eaten away. The battery is orginal equipment and maintanance free.
Vehicle returned after 'fix' on 6/14 complaint: a loud thump noise at engine transmission area, then loss of power going uphill work done: lubed drive shaft (inv 412596) second time in: 6/20 (inv412895) complaint:cust returned for complaint of intermittent stalling and, extended starting" work done: ignition coil, ignition replace third complaint 7/18/00-7/25 in shop (inv414264 "t5533 replace new scpi injector(s) as necessary - bad catalytic converter replaces, replace right 87wt"fourth complaint: 9/6/00 to 9/8/00 in shop (vehicle not driven between 8/2 and 8/26, in garage) "customer states engine died while driving50 mph.

Gm has an anti-theft device called a passlock.the systems seems to be faulty on a very large number of their vehicles.it makes the auto not start and maybe even sometimes die while running.i'm quite concerned of the possibility of the engine failing while driving down the road.they told me it would cost $400 - $500 to fix it.
My vehicle will not start periodically while it is raining or the humidity is very high.during this time, the security light will blink and you must wait a minimum of 10 minutes before it will start again.there has been one case when the car completely stopped during driving and lost all power (steering, brakes, etc).the dealer could not find out why this was occurring.the key cylinder was replaced based on a "passlock" error code in the ecu.this has not resolved the problem.i have visited many websites and found this to be a pretty common problem with chevrolet and gmc suvs and across many years of production.

As i was driving through a snow furry i the snow packed up on the high-beam head lamps that were not in use in the heavy part of the snow storm.these lamp's collected the wet snow and it packed over the lamp so much so when they were activated "no light' of which, would be of use, on wet roads at highway speeds came on the high-beam wasof no use at all !!!the problem; when you activate thehigh-beam the headlamp program is for the "l0w-beam' to go out **** this leaves you the driver with-out any head-lights at all and in this case i mean no light at all . I was traveling at 70 on a 2 lane road in nevada, in a slow lefthand curve when this happened. Thankfully i now the road very will and i drive class a trucks for a living for the passed 18 years so " i' didn't freeze-up when this happened. Sometime soon if not corrected (gmc can do a simple wire re-configureation and solve this problem tomarrow ) somone is going to be killed or injured. I have 1.75 "million miles' of safe driving under my belt and this is the first time i have ever felt so strong on a problem that i have written anyone. I wrote gmc and the letter i got back does not make me feel they will address this problem at all. Per veh this is such a low cost correction. But if left un-corrected the cost can be so high, not just in money but in lives. Thank you frank b. Rustad cc abc, nbc, cbs, l. A. Times, salt lake tribuine, san francisco-cronicle, .

While slowly approaching stop sign on the first trip of the day, brakes were slow to respond and pedal depression was more than usual. Stopped on side of the road and had yukon towed to repair shop. Right front brake line found rusted through. Corrosion found on other three lines,but not as severe as right front. Replaced all four brake lines. Nine years of vehicle mileage accumulated in connecticut, and five in delaware.
Vehicle has only 21,650 m on it, usedmostly on weekends and in the snow in winter. It was doing fine until 9/18/16 when suddenly i noticed my brake was not responding as usual.i had to push the pedal to the floor repeatedly to stop, barely missed hitting the car in front of me. I was on one of my city streets getting back home after grocery shopping. Drove home slowly and very carefully.had it towed to a nearby gm dealer.he says most of the brake lines and some hoses have rusted, need to be replaced. That would be 15-16 hours labor and will cost me $ 2000.00.it snows here quite a bit and after the season, i always wash my vehicles with emphasis on the underside to remove the salt and chemicals. Besides, on this vehicle i had to repaint the hood twice, roof once and replace the rear bumper so far- all due to rust.now my front bumper is showing signs of rust.what's the matter - with all this excessive rusting on this vehicle.i have my other suv parked right beside this at home and use it in the winter time.it is much older than yukon and there is no rust problem at all with it. Looks like there is some serious problem with the metal used in this vehicleor lack of quality control.gm did a bad job with this vehicle. They say there was no recall on this model.would like to know if i can get compensatedby gm for all this hardship. Do not know what else is in store with this vehicle in future. Have to get the brake job doneright away but very pricey for my budget.please check into this problem and let me know how to proceed.looking forward to hearing from you soon.thanks,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Press brake pedal ,suv did not stop noted leak under rear driver side above tire.
As i was pulling out of the parking lot of my work, onto a public road, i came to a stop sign. I had brake pedal pressure for about 1 second, then the pedal went to the floor.there was traffic coming from both directions so i became a little nervous. The truck did stop in time though. I knew i had blown a brake line right away. I went back to work and inspected the lines and the rear line had blown apart.this is my second gm vehicle that blew a brake line in the exact same spot on the vehicle. I recently moved to florida, this vehicle has been an ohio vehicle all it life.
Abs failure. Unable to stop vehicle. Removed abs module fuse to safely operate vehicle.
Anytime i apply the brakes and reach a speed between 5 and 10 mph the abs engages and the stopping distance is greatly increased.
Brake lines are completely corroding. Imminent brake failure.
The contact owns a 1999 gmc yukon. The contact stated that while braking at low speeds, the vehicles front end would rattle and shake. The contact stated that the brake pedal would travel to the floorboard when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the abs module needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, however the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
The contact owns a 1999 gmc yukon. The contact stated that while applying the brake the vehicle slowed to approximately 3 mph but did not come to a stop. The dealer was notified and informed him that based on the information given there was corrosion on the brake sensor that caused the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 120,000.
Had to stop in a hurry on the freeway and was going about 60 miles an hour and hit the brakes, i believe the abs locked up and i fishtailed from the left to the right and back to the left again. Engine shutoff automatically and check engine light came on. This nearly caused a multi car collision with a possible bridge fly away as we were on a bridge at the time. Luckily through defensive driving was able to gain control of the vehicle and keep it from hitting anything or anyone, however now when turning right or left there is a squeak at every rotation when going slow. Also the vehicle slowly hesitates coming to a stop and abs will sometimes start engaging causing near collisions.
The anti- lock brakes at lower speeds feel like the vehicle wants to keep going, and pulsate when applied before stopping. This happens most of the time, at low speeds. There has been no complete failure at this time (i expect it know when to stop it). I tried having this fixed at a garage and they replaced the wheel baring because they said it contains the speed sensor (it didn't work). The abs kicks in when going forward and reverse
Defective abs brakes. Having taken to gmc dealer to repair multiple times with no solution. They want to charge me more when it should be covered under service warranty and should have been resolved initially. Whenever i step on brakes to slow down the car would skid which service dealer advised brake system problem but no resolution.
Abs brake problem- activation at low speeds, why is this not covered on my vehicle but it on others?
The contact owns a 1999 gmc yukon.while driving approximately 25 mph on normal road conditions, the antilock system activated unexpectedly when the brake pedal was slightly depressed.there were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to the brakes.the vehicle was repaired.on ten separate occasions, the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for identical failures.the vehicle has not been repaired.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 49,000 and current mileage was 107,000.
(rear brake line rupture) my wife was on her way to work when she applied the brakes the brake warning light came on. The pedal became real soft as if the vehicle wasn't going to stop. After returning home, upon investigation the brake master cylinder was almost empty. I found brake fluid coming out of a badly corroded brake line just behind the fuel tank. This could have been a very bad situation. We are the second owners on this vehicle, purchased in 2001. We have always keptit maintained and clean, including car washes after snow storms to remove road salt and sand. This should not be happening on an 11 year old vehicle, thankfully this didn't result in an accident.i have also noticed the fuel lines have corrosion at ever mounting location. So, i guess these are going to fail as well some time in the future.

Updated 06/02/09.
When stopping the antilock brake system activates at slow speed greatly increasing stopping distance. Specially when towing my boat.i had a slight fender bender with no injuries.this condition happens daily. My wheel speed sensors were replaced by a dealer. I was told that there was a recall for yukons2000 and up.our yukon is a 1999 with the same issue. Seenhtsa action number pe05020 and nhtsa campaign id number 05v379000.
Brake line failure due to corrosion of the lines,on my 1999 gmc yukon 1500further inspection the entire undersection badly corroded.

One of the four front brake pads was completely disintigrated and damaged. The front rotors needing to be replaced. Gmc service center claims that the brakes are designed to break down within 20000 miles and this is normal. The brake pad failed completely and the front brakes would not operate properly or stop the vehicle.

The claim by the service people was that gmc has changed out the brake pads to a softer compound and they will not last more than 20-25000 miles. The immediateness of the failure ( ie. The wear indicators did not work properly) may have been more dangerous if we would have been in a heavy traffic area.

This information is not known to the consumer even though it is widely documented within gmc.this is a known hazard that should be disclosed and fixed via a vehicle recall by gmc.instead gmc puts the expense of the repair on the consumer who is unfairly, and unreasonable caught off guards paying upwards of $35k for a new 1999 vehicle unaware that they will need to spend additional monies to replace the brakes every 10,000-17,000 miles.the dealer told me that the squeaking of my brakes is the only warning sign the vehicle gives the unsuspecting owner that the brakes have deteriorated.this condition is a safety hazard that will endanger lives and gmc should stand behind their vehicles and be held accountable for the brake repairs not the unsuspecting consumer who bought the vehicle in good faith and is now "stiffed with a bill" for costly repairs on a new vehicle 1999 that has by all standards has low mileage.

Abs has caused increased stopping distance on several occasions. Both at low speed and high speed. During a stop from 60 mph to a stopped condition, abs caused braking to be reduced from about 45 mph down. Minor rear end collision resulted. On previous occasions, abs has released braking when vehicle has gone over a bump in the pavement, causing increased stopping distance. This issue appears to be similar to campaign #05v379000. Why has the 99 gmc been excluded from the recall? dealer has not been contacted - yet.

Vehicle experiencing extended stopping distance when braking.nlm
One of the four front brake pads was completely disintigrated and damaged. The front rotors needing to be replaced. Gmc service center claims that the brakes are designed to break down within 20000 miles and this is normal. The brake pad failed completely and the front brakes would not operate properly or stop the vehicle. After lengthy discussion and many repeat calls the gmc representative went by the dealership and decided that it was indeed a faulty part. The claim by the service people was that gmc has changed out the brake pads to a softer compound and they will not last more than 20-25000 miles. The immediateness of the failure ( ie. The wear indicators did not work properly) may have been more dangerous if we would have been in a heavy traffic area.
Consumer approached a light, appliedbrakes, andit startedvibrating violently.this happpened intermittently. Vehicle did not stop smoothly.consumer will contact the dealer.

While driving on highway another vehicle was switching lanes. Consumer went to hit the brakes, andvehicle kept going, went into the median. Also, was pulsating when applying the brakes.contacted dealer, whostated that the rotors were warped.
The metal hydraulic brake line running from the master cylinder to the passenger side front disc brake assembly ruptured, causingthe vehicle to lose its braking power while the vehicle was being driven. This line crosses the front of the vehicle and then runs on top of the frame just under where the battery is located. After inspecting and finding the hole it was very apparent that battery acid/corrosion had dripped onto the line,, causing it to be eaten away. The battery is orginal equipment and maintanance free.

Steering has become erratic.when turning, the ratio of wheel turn to steering wheel movement varies, increasing greatly at approx. "2 o'clock" to the right thus causing the vehicle to veer unexpectedly in the direction of the initial turn. Now it is happening while turning left also but always happens to the right.
(1) steering will bind randomly. (2) when you turn past the binding point the steering wheel moves unrestricted too far into a turn, causing the truck to swerve all over the road. (3) dealer cannot find a problem!
Had to stop in a hurry on the freeway and was going about 60 miles an hour and hit the brakes, i believe the abs locked up and i fishtailed from the left to the right and back to the left again. Engine shutoff automatically and check engine light came on. This nearly caused a multi car collision with a possible bridge fly away as we were on a bridge at the time. Luckily through defensive driving was able to gain control of the vehicle and keep it from hitting anything or anyone, however now when turning right or left there is a squeak at every rotation when going slow. Also the vehicle slowly hesitates coming to a stop and abs will sometimes start engaging causing near collisions.
When driving and attempting to turn, there is a loss of steering control. Dealer says needs new steering sensor.
The steering wheel started jerking uncontrollably.the steering wheel would release and move back and forth on its own.the consumer was able to maintain control, and drove the vehicle to a local dealer.the mechanic determined that the problem could not be duplicated, and the vehicle was operating as designed.the steering position sensor was replaced. *sc

Events leading up to incident unknown.i have a 1999 yukon, purchased used in 2001.at 160,000 miles the rif=ght rear spring broke at the rear shackle.at 166,000 miles the left rear spring broke at the same location in the same fashion.
The tire failed without any warning and created an extremely dangerous situation and loss of control. The tread was completely separated and the complete tire was shredded. I contacted gmc and they assigned an incident number of 99294608 and advised me to contact a local dealer. The local dealer said that the tire was not covered under the gmc warranty and that i should contact the local firestone dealer. The local firestone dealer advised that the tire failure was due to road hazard and not a defective tire, in spite of the fact that the incident happened on an interstate highway and there was no previous road hazard occurence. The tire disintegrated due to a high speed blow-out. The tire dot number begins with w2 and firestone kept the defective tire after i paid to have it replaced.( dot number: tire size: p265r7016 )

A policeman stopped right behind us and remarked that we must have firestone wilderness tires on it because just about a week before an expidition had 4 fatalaties because of a blowout with the same tires, about 1 mile up the road. No one in our vehicle was injured in our vehicle. We had contacted our dealer, chevrolet, othe tire stores, and firestone/bridgestone. All basically said that it was our problem and that we had better get them changed because they are "death tires" and bridgestone hung up on us after they remarked that there is nothing wrong with their tires, it was because we didn't know how to drive a suv.

Vehicle was traveling at posted speed, when tire belt separated. Belt caught up in fender well and locked both rear wheels, causing vehicle to swerve left and roll several times. My wife and i are fortunate to be alive.bf goodrich claims no responsibility, due to their inspection of the tire they noted a puncture. I wonder how many thousand of tires out there have a nail or foriegn objectin them right now, that will cause the b.f.goodrich tire to fail and cause serious injury or death. It would be nice to be able to try and recover damages, but i can't afford an attorney, and of course bf goodrich takes no responsiblity. (dot number: ap70hk1145tiresize: p245/75r16)

Windshield wiper works intermittently.this has been happening for about a year.
Windshield wipers failed to operate in driving rain resulting in extremely low visability.vehicle was pulled off the road, ignition was shut off and started again in an attempt to get wipers to work.wipers still failed to operate.car could not be safely operated until rain had ceased.this is a known failure on many gm vehicles.we had a similar incident in an s-10 truck approximately 2 years ago, so we were familiar with problem.
Windshield wiper malfunction is a problem in my 1999 yukon.gmc does not want to address this seriouse problem.
Windsheild wipers works intermittentlyon a family trip had to get out and tap the windshield motor box on the firewell, and then they work. I learned of a recall,but it didn't extend to the year 1999 i think it should,and if you think it should please send me a recall. Thank you.
While getting a new set of tires on my 1999 gmc yukon, 58000 miles, the lug nuts on the right front and left front wheels would not tighten.the mechanic was using a torque wrench to tighten the lugs.four lugs on the left front and two lugs on the right front began to stress and to kneck down.i instructed the mechanic to cease and to remove the wheels from the vehicle.there was definite evidence of knecking and the lugs appeare to be very malleble.i had the lugs replaced with new lugs, and retained the lugs that were removed from the vehicle.i am a structural engineer and in my mid 60's.i have never seen the quantity of lugs from one wheel be so soft.i am the second owner of the vehicle and have been driving it since the last week of june, 2005.i believe the tires that i replaced were original equipment and this was the first time that they were off the vehicle.i believe that the yukon was manufactured in wisconsin.
