VEHICLE HAS ONLY 21,650 M ON IT, USED MOSTLY 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 VEHICLE OR 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 COMPENSATED BY GM FOR ALL THIS HARDSHIP. DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN FUTURE. HAVE TO GET THE BRAKE JOB DONE RIGHT AWAY BUT VERY PRICEY FOR MY BUDGET. PLEA

TL* 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.

ANYTIME I APPLY THE BRAKES AND REACH A SPEED BETWEEN 5 AND 10 MPH THE ABS ENGAGES AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS GREATLY INCREASED.

ABS FAILURE. UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. REMOVED ABS MODULE FUSE TO SAFELY OPERATE VEHICLE. *TR

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WHEN TWO METAL LINES RUPTURED CAUSING A LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN BOTH CIRCUITS DURING A HARD STOP. ABS HAD NOT ACTIVATED. THE BRAKING TOOK PLACE AT LOW SPEED WHEN A CAR AHEAD STOPPED SUDDENLY PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CABLE-ACTIVATED PARKING BRAKE WAS THEN USED TO AVOID A COLLISION AND GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

BRAKE ROTOR AND PAD KIT PURCHASED FROM ROCK AUTO WAS THE WRONG DIMENSION AND THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE IMPROPER FIT, THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE FROM ROCK AUTO: :[XXX] I HAVE RECEIVED A REPLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMING THAT PART NUMBER KOE 1970, THE ROTORS YOU RECEIVED, ARE THE CORRECT ROTORS FOR A 1999 GMC YUKON 5.7L V8 WITH 4WD AND 6 LUG WHEELS. THE PART NUMBER FOR THESE ROTORS SHOULD BE AR8609XPR. IF THIS IS NOT THE NUMBER STAMPED ON THE ROTOR YOU RECEIVED, YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED A MIS-BOXED PART. IF THAT IS THE CASE, PLEASE RESPOND WITH THE NUMBER THAT IS STAMPED ON THE ROTOR YOU RECEIVED. IF THIS NUMBER MATCHES THE ROTORS YOU RECEIVED, YOU CAN SIMPLY FOLLOW THE RETURN INSTRUCTIONS I HAVE EMAILED TO YOU. IN THIS CASE WE WOULD BE UNABLE TO REFUND YOU THE ORIGINAL SHIPPING, BUT WE WILL COVER THE RETURN SHIPPING IN THE FORM OF A SHIPPING LABEL. WHEN THE MANUFACTURER SAYS THAT THE FIT IS CORRECT AND THE CUSTOMER SAYS IT IS NOT, IT IS OUR POLICY TO SPLIT THE SHIPPING ON THE ORDER. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHERE THE AFTERMARKET "BROKERS" LIKE ROCK AUTO ARE SELLING PARTS THAT ARE THE WRONG SIZE AND THEN SUPPORTING THE MANUFACTURER (PROFITING). THE THICKNESS OF THE ROTOR PLATE PUSHED MY ROAD WHEEL OUT BEYOND FULL WHEEL LUG NUT ENGAGEMENT AND NO ENGAGEMENT OF THE ROAD WHEEL CENTER HOLE WITH THE BEARING HUB. THE ONLY CONTACT WAS THE LUG NUTS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. IN

SAME THING AS ALREADY LISTED. MY RADIO, WIPERS AND WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO WILL RANDOMLY COME ON BUT IF YOU TRY TO USE THE WIPERS OR ROLL DOWN A WINDOW IT SHUTS ALL 3 DOWN. FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

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. *TR

BRAKE LINES ARE COMPLETELY CORRODING. IMMINENT BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

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. *TR

TL* 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.

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. *TR

PRESS BRAKE PEDAL ,SUV DID NOT STOP NOTED LEAK UNDER REAR DRIVER SIDE ABOVE TIRE. *TR

I WENT TO PULL MY HORSE TRAILER FORWARD TO LOAD HORSES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE UPHILL TO GET IT TO STOP. A NEIGHBOR TOOK THE PROTECTIVE PANEL OFF OF THE FRONT UNDERCARRIAGE AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE TUBING. THE TRUCK IS SCHEDULED TO GO TO THE REPAIR SHOP TOMORROW TO FIX THIS. *TR

(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 KEPT IT 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. *TR

BRAKE LINE FAILURE DUE TO CORROSION OF THE LINES,ON MY 1999 GMC YUKON 1500 FURTHER INSPECTION THE ENTIRE UNDERSECTION BADLY CORRODED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AT LEAST SEVEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AND WOULD HAVE TO BE TOWED TO HER PLACE OF RESIDENCE. INITIALLY, THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. ALL OTHER REPAIRS WERE MADE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

CONSUMER'S 1999 GMC YUKON IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEM RELATED TO CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V379000. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED TWICE. THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET GMC TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, BUT WITH NO SUCCESS SINCE THE ACTUAL RECALL DID NOT LIST THE CONSUMERS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR ON THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT. *JB

I PURCHASED A SET OF BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TIRES FOR MY 1999 GMC YUKON. THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT AFTER I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 12 MILES SINCE THE NEW TIRE WAS INSTALLED AT THE DISCOUNT TIRE DEALERSHIP IN BURIEN WASHINGTON. THE TIRE WAS A C LOAD RATED TIRE, SIZE 265 16 R75. THE ENTIRE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BLEW OUT AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE SIDEWALL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BLOW OUT WITH THIS CHARACTERISTIC. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS EVENT AND IT OCCURRED ON A BAND NEW TIRE. THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THERE ARE LIKELY OTHER TIRES WITH THIS SAME DEFECT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE ABS SENSOR ON HIS BRAKES. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATES OR THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDS TO THE FLOOR WHEN IT IS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ABS SENSOR REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,500. UPDATED 05/26/09 *BF UPDATED 05/28/09.*JB
