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.

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.

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

The ABS system in this vehicle and many other similar GM vehicles of this year have abs pumps that malfunction and/or randomly stop working just to begin working later. My vehicle currently has the abs fuse removed because whenever it’s in the abs pump runs continuously even when the vehicle is off. The vehicle I own is in good shape with only 80,000 miles. similar gm vehicles of this age with more miles have even more issues specially with the abs system it’s worse in vehicles that also come equipped with traction control.

This is the 3rd Yukon I have owned all 2001-2003. Every one of them have had serious brake issues, ABS illuminated, Parking Brake does not work, and light is illuminated, brake fluid everywhere, which when hot starts eating away at electrical components, or in my case at cooling system hoses. Which all lead too one issue after another. I really think that this shoudl be address becasue eveyone i speak with has the same issue. It's exhausting anf expensive too fix, but i have no choice becausei need 3 rows too fit all my children and cannot afford a brand new car.

IMPACT AND ACCIDENT AT A 2 WAY STOP SIGN, WHERE MY TRUCK WAS STOPPED, and a TESLA DUAL MOTOR MODEL3, SEVERED AND HIT MY TRUCK, DUE TO THE DRIVER BEING ON AUTONOMOUS MODE ORFSD BETA 10.XZXX69.

DRIVING TRUCK AND COULDN'T GAIN CONTROL AND WAS DRIVING ON ITS OWN.

5.3 ENGINE KNOCKS AT START UP. *TR

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.

VEHICLE STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWER AT SPEED (60+MPH). AFTER A FEW MINUTES, IT RESTARTS, BUT STALLS AGAIN A FEW MILES OR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO GET IT FIXED, REPLACED FUEL PUMPS, SENSORS ETC. WITH NO LUCK. NO ERROR CODES SHOW UP.

TL* 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.

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.

INITIALLY TRAVELING AT 75 MPH N/B ON HWY 99 IN FRESNO COUNTY, LOST VISION (MEDICAL INCIDENT), WIFE INSISTED I PULL OVER. STRUCK GUARD RAIL ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD. SECOND TRY TO PULL OVER CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO IMPACT A VERIZON JUNCTION BOX AND THEN150 FEET OF SIX-FOOT CHAIN-LINK FENCING WITH ANTI-CLIMB GUARDS THAT CAME OFF THE FENCE AND SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY INSURANCE AGENT TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO YOU, BUT SINCE I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM YOU FOLK I'VE ASSUMED MY AGENT DID NOT FOLLOW THROUGH. MY WIFE AND I SUSTAINED ONLY MINOR INJURIES FROM FLYING GLASS. WE HAVE PHOTO'S OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

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 PROBLEM GENERAL 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. PLEA

TL* 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.

THE BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY RUSTED AND THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE WITH LOSS OF BRAKES. THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. *TR

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. *JS

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

OUR DASHBOARD ABS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN WE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, A BUZZING MOTOR SOUND STILL KEPT 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. *TR

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. *TR

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 AN ABS 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. *TR
