THE INBOARD RETENTION NUT USED TO MAINTAIN HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY CAN LOOSEN RESULTING IN AN ABS LIGHT INDICATION, NOISE, AND/OR WHEEL SEPARATION.

Risk. WHEEL SEPARATION CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy. FEDERAL-MOGUL WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND WILL REPLACE THE HUB ASSEMBLY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 7, 2008. OWNERS CAN CONTACT FEDERAL-MOGUL TOLL-FREE AT 877-489-6659.

Defect. CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ONLY.

Risk. THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS ARE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR MOUNTING SURFACE ON THE BEARING, APPLY RUST INHIBITOR TO THE CLEANED SURFACE, GREASE THE MOUNTING SURFACE, REINSTALL THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, AND CHECK THE PEAK-TO-PEAK OUTPUT VOLTAGE TO ENSURE THE WHEEL SPEED SIGNAL IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN SEPTEMBER 22, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

Defect. CERTAIN TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH FUEL MODULE RESERVOIR ASSEMBLIES THAT CONTAIN FUEL PUMP WIRES CONNECTORS MAY OVERHEAT UNDER CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS.

Risk. IF THE IGNITION CIRCUIT WIRE IS EXPOSED, THE FUEL PUMP FUSE WILL BLOW, DISABLING THE FUEL PUMP AND CAUSING AN ENGINE STALL OR NO-START CONDITION. IF SUFFICIENT HEAT IS CONDUCTED TO THE PASS-THROUGH CONNECTOR, A HOLE IN THE CONNECTOR MAY RESULT, WHICH MAY CAUSE A 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON' LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED DURING THE EMISSION SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE. FUEL VAPOR AND IN SOME CASES LIQUID FUEL MAY LEAK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE CONNECTOR BODY. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. ALSO IF THE IGNITION CIRCUIT OR GROUND WIRE IS EXPOSED AND SHORTS TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER CARD WIRES, INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS MAY RESULT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE FUEL TANK, AND REMOVE THE MODULE RESERVOIR ASSEMBLIES FROM THE TANK, AND INSTALL A NEW SERVICE KIT FREE OF CHARGE. AN INTERIM LETTER TO OWNERS WAS MAILED ON MAY 25, 2005. THE OWNERS WERE RE-NOTIFIED ON OCTOBER 19, 2005, SINCE PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 AND GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

Defect. SOME PICKUP TRUCKS, VANS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A HYDRAULIC PUMP DRIVESHAFT THAT CAN FRACTURE, RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRO-BOOST POWER BRAKES, THE SAME CONDITION CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER ASSIST FOR BRAKING AFTER THE RESERVE PRESSURE IS DEPLETED.

Risk. AN INOPERATIVE PUMP CAN CAUSE INCREASED STEERING EFFORT, AND IN HYDRO-BOOST EQUIPPED VEHICLES ALSO INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT, BUT DOES NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE ABILITY TO STEER OR SLOW THE VEHICLE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC PUMP. THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 14, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

Defect. ON CERTAIN PICKUP AND UTILITY TRUCKS, SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN AIR BAG SENSING DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) WHICH CONTAINS AN ANOMALY THAT COULD RESULT IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S AIR BAG FAILING TO DEPLOY DURING CERTAIN FRONTAL CRASHES.

Risk. IN A VEHICLE CRASH, FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS MAY RECEIVE MORE SEVERE INJURIES.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL RECALIBRATE THE SDM ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 28, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020 OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CLEARANCE CONDITION BETWEEN THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL THAT COULD DECREASE TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING CONTACT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF CONTACT OCCURS AND THE BRAKE PIPE BECOMES DAMAGED, IN HALF OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM THERE CAN BE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PRESSURE. THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP WILL BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL REACHES THE INDICATOR LIMIT.

Risk. DURING BRAKING, THE PEDAL WILL BE LOWER THAN NORMAL AND STOPPING DISTANCES WILL BE LONGER. IF THIS OCCURS WHEN STOPPING DISTANCE IS LIMITED, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE FOR WEAR. IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF WEAR, THIS SECTION OF THE BRAKE PIPE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW DESIGNED BRAKE PIPE SECTION. IF THERE ARE NOT SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE BRAKE PIPE, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A SPACER CLIP TO ENSURE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE LOOSE OR MISSING REAR WHEELHOUSE PLUGS. UNDER CERTAIN VEHICLE OPERATING CONDITIONS, EXHAUST GASES CAN FLOW FORWARD AND ACCUMULATE IN THE REAR WHEELHOUSE.

Risk. THESE GASES COULD FLOW INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IF THE PLUG IS MISSING OR LOOSE AND COULD CAUSE POSSIBLE ILLNESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR DEATH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE FOR LOOSE OR MISSING WHEELHOUSE PLUGS AND INSTALL NEW PLUGS IF NECESSARY.

Tire Size: 265 70 16. While driving on a straight and level highway, the right rear tire sidewall completely shredded. Tire lost all air pressure and separated from the rim. I bought four General Grabber tires in July 2021. This is the second tire that the sidewall shredded. The first one shredded on the left rear side in July of 2024. There are a lot of General Grabber tires being recalled for over-cured sidewalls but it's strange that there are no recalls on this particular tire.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A SPUTTERING NOISE AND STALLED. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT'S BOYFRIEND CALLED SMITH BUICK GMC AT 321-405-3488 (510 E NASA BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL 32901), BUT THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

APPLIED PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. TOOK THE CAR TO A MIDAS MUFFLER GARAGE AS IT WAS CLOSEST FOR DIAGNOSIS AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED AWAY. IT HAD RUSTED OUT AT THE POINT WHERE IT GOES OVER THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON THESE CARS. *TR

MULTIPLE BRAKE LINE RUPTURE/ FAILURE ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. *TR

MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND WOULD COST @ $3000 TO REPLACE. YUKON WILL NOT PASS PA INSPECTION AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THE ABS EBCU FAILED WE HAD ONLY OWNED THE CAR A FEW YEARS. WE FIGURED OUT SOMETHING WAS WRONG BY THE CONTINUOUS GROWLING BUZZ UNDER THE VEHICLE. WE HAD TO FULL THE FUSE TO DISCONNECT THE UNIT TO PREVENT IT FROM RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY WHILE WE TRIED TO LEARN EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG. ----------- ON THE GOOD SIDE, THE CAR RUNS FINE WITHOUT IT. ON THE BAD SIDE, EBCU REPLACEMENT IS A RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. GM CHARGES $1400 FOR THE STUPID PART, THE TOTAL WAS JUST UNDER $2000 BY THE TIME ALL WAS DONE.----------- IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF THE EBCU WAS SOME GREAT INVENTION THAT REALLY IMPROVED THE HUMAN CONDITION. IT IS NOT. NOT ONLY DOES IT NEVER HELP, IT IS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS.---------- ANY TIME YOU TRY TO STOP ON BUMPY ROADS THE EBCU FIGHTS YOU. MANY TIMES I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DRIVE INTO AN ACCIDENT AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE THERE WAS A BUMP AND THEN THE STUPID ABS UNIT WOULD NOT LET ME BRAKE. IT FORCES THE BRAKE PEDAL UP AND LETS THE CAR ROLL FORWARD WHEN I AM FRANTICALLY TRYING TO STOP THE CAR.---------- HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE WISHED I DIDN'T HAVE POWER BRAKES AT ALL! ---------- THE REASON I FOUND THIS WEBSITE IS BECAUSE NOW AT 130782 THE STUPID THING HAS FAILED AGAIN. NOW WITHOUT A WARRANTY, BUT WITH THE INTERNET, I LEARNED HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF THIS UNIT. THERE ARE MANY PAGES ABOUT IT AMONG GM CAR ENTHUSIAST GROUPS, AND EVEN EBAY AUCTIONS OFFERING TO FIX THE THINGS! ---------- THE EBCU IS IN A TIGHT SPOT YOU CAN ONLY GE

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AND TOWING BOAT DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING THAT BRAKES WERE ABOUT TO FAIL. USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE TO SECURE LOCATION, OBSERVED STEADY STREAM OF BRAKE FLUID RUNNING ONTO GROUND FROM UNDER DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. APPARENTLY ROTTEN BRAKE LINES THAT RUN FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE TO REAR FAILED. *TR

DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROAD AT 35 MPH. WEATHER WAS CLEAR, ROADS DRY, TEMP 86F.APPROACHING A HILL WITH INTERSECTION AT BOTTOM OF HILL, APPLIED BRAKES AND BRAKE PEDAL HAD NO RESISTANCE, NEARLY TO FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING. BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BRAKES APPLIED(NOT BEFORE). USED PARKING BRAKE TO STOP TRUCK AT INTERSECTION, BARELY MISSING COLLIDING WITH CROSSING TRAFFIC. WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK TO TRUSTED MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED EVERY INCH OF BRAKE LINE FROM ABS BOOSTER TO ALL FOUR WHEELS BADLY CORRODED, LIKE PAPER. LINE WAS PERFORATED OVER REAR AXLE CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID, ALL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE AND NO BRAKING ABILITY. MECHANIC IS CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC WITH OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE, SAID HAS NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE EVEN IN ANTIQUE OR ABANDONED VEHICLES. *TT

I WAS DRIVING MY YUKON XL 2000 WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON WEB AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A ODI NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V005000 THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY INDICATED THAT THE CAR VIN WAS NOT IN THE RANGE FOR THE RECALL. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GM TO GET IT FIXED THEY INDICATED THAT FAILURE WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE REPORT 05V005000. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND NOT MY WIFE. I HAD MY 13 MONTH SON IN THE CAR AND THIS FAILURE COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DID HURT MY NECK WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TRYING TO CONTROL AND STEER THE CAR. FOR THE SAKE OF OTHER FAMILIES DRIVING 2000 YUKONS THIS RECALL 05V005000 SHOULD BE BROADEN TO INCLUDE MORE YULON 2000 CARS THAT WERE PRODUCED IN THAT YEAR BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE GETS HURT. *TR

FUEL PUMP IS WHISTLING AND FUEL LEAK IS APPARENT WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT IN GARAGE. ALREADY REPLACED ONE PUMP AT 96,000 MILES. ALREADY HAD SERVICE ON THE MELTED WIRES 2 YEARS AGO. CAN GM PROVIDE THE COST OF THE GM BRAND FUEL PUMP SO IT CAN BE REPLACED? *JB

GMC YUKON 2000 AND ABOVE MODELS. TAIL GATE WINDOW INSTALLATION. WINDOW IS ATTACHED TO VEHICLE WITH PLASTIC FASTENERS WHICH TEND TO BREAK AND CAUSE THE WINDOW TO COME SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW FRAME. THE WINDOW IS THEN ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE PRIMARILY BY THE WINDOW LOCK. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2000 YUKON XL, TO MY DAUGHTER'S 2001 YUKON XL AND WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SHOP FOR REPAIR I WAS TOLD BY THE SHOP PERSONNEL THAT THEY HAD FIXED SEVERAL LIKE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW IS COMPLETELY REDESIGNED INDICATING THAT THE FACTORY HAS BECOME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NO CALLED FOR A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN APPEARING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE TO DATE WAS TO PLACE THE INCIDENT DATE AS TODAY'S DATE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE READINGS WERE INACCURATE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL # 05V155000, CONCERNING THE FUEL PUMP. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UPDATED 8/14/2006 - THE FUEL PUMP WIRING MELTED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE STALLS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. A NHTSA RECALL, #05V155000 WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONCERNING, THE FUEL PUMP HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT OFFER A SECOND REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE UNDER THE RECALL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HAVING RECALL WORK COMPLETED UNDER RECALL 05V155000 CONCERNING THE FUEL SYSTEM, THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION HOSE WAS BROKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE BECAUSE THE BROKEN PART IS NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS NOW EMITTING FUMES INSIDE THE CONTACT'S GARAGE WHERE THE VEHICLE IS BEING STORED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. UPDATED 02/28/06. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE GOING 65MPH A LOUD RACING NOISE COULD BE HEARD IN THE TRANSMISSION, THE GEARS SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE GRINDING, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED; THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THE NOISES STARTED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP ONCE AGAIN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION INSPECTED. UPON INSPECTION THE TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. NO REPAIRS MADE AT THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED.

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 2000 YUKON XL PARKING BRAKE WORE OUT PRE-MATURELY, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE OWNER AND THE PUBLIC. *JB

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

FIRST PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING, FOUND OUT IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PART FOR MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH GM AND MY AUTO PART STORE THERE IS A SHORTAGE AND THE AUTO PART STORE SAYS ALOT OF GM OWNERS HAVE BEEN REQUESTING THAT PART. STILL WAITING AND DRIVER WINDOW IS STARTING TO GO. THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM. PLEASE CHECK INTO. *NM

I SPOKE WITH A LARRY AT THE NHTSA BACK IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. FAXED HIM A COPY OF THE BILL I HAD FOR THE POWER STEERING IN MY YUKON XL SAYS THERE WAS GOING TO BE MORE INVESTIGATING AND THIS RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING MAY BE EXPANDED TO MY TRUCK..THE 1500 SERIES BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. JUST A FUNNY THING THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THE POWER STEERING CUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN, BUT IT DOESN'T CONCERN THE 1500. *NM
