I HAVE A 2002 YUKON DENALI AWD. I TOOK A LONG TRIP THIS WEEK FOR VACATION AND NOTICED THAT THE ABS LIGHT AS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF, AND NOW ITS ON ALL THE TIME. WHENEVER IM MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS IT TENDS TO PULSE WHEN I BRAKE OR HAVE THE ABS ACTIVATE MAKING AN EASY SLOW STOP BECOME AND LONG STOP THAT HAS MADE ME SWERVE TO MISS MANY NEAR COLLISIONS IN THE PAST FEW DAYS. IM ALSO HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND AT LOW SPEEDS IN THE DRIVE SIDE WHEEL ONLY WHEN I TURN RIGHT, BETWEEN THE 2 THAT HAVE JUST RECENTLY APPEARED MADE MY 900 MILE TRIP A NIGHTMARE, NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS. I'VE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND NOTICE THERE WAS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GET IT IN THE U.S. SO HOW MANY PPL NEED TO RISK BEING INJURED OR KILLED FOR GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THEY OBVIOUSLY NO SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IS NOT WILLING TO HELP THE CONSUMERS. THANKS *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE ABS ACTIVATED AND THE CONTACT HEARD A FLUTTERING NOISE. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WHEEL HUBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07E106000 (WHEELS:CAP/COVER/HUB). THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,880 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,700.

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH UNDER NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO STALL. ONCE THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE CONTACT LOST THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AS WELL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT A CRASH. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS WITH OUT INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY FIXED THE THROTTLE BODY AND WATER PUMP. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AFTER THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAS THE REPAIR ORDER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000 .

ON 2/24/2008 I TRIED TO MOVE THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SELECT LEVER ON MY 2002 GMC YUKON XL TO THE PARK POSITION. THE GEAR SELECT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE INTO THE PARK POSITION. AS A RESULT, I COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEYS OR STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING WHILE SITTING IN MY GARAGE. I COULD PLACE IT IN ANY GEAR EXCEPT PARK. AFTER LOOKING AROUND THE BASE OF THE SHIFT LEVER, I NOTICED A PART OF A BROKEN SPRING STUCK IN THE PIVOT POINT OF THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER. I REMOVED THE BROKEN SPRING PARTS AND THE SHIFT LEVER WILL NOW MOVE TO PARK. AS A RESULT OF THE RETURN SPRING BEING BROKEN THE LEVER NOW MOVES FREELY AND WE HAVE TO MANUALLY MOVE IT TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE KEYS. WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING, AND THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER MOVED TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TURN OFF, AT THIS POINT IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVORLET DEALER ON 2/25/08 AND THEY SAID THIS IS MY PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO EVEN GET DIAGNOSIS OR ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD EVER HAPPEN TO ANY VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER TWO PREVIOUS "REPAIRS" (ONE A RECALL), OUR GMC ABS BRAKES ARE NOW MALFUNCTIONING FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATES ON DRY PAVEMENT AT SLOW SPEEDS, RESULTING IN A LONGER THAN NORMAL STOPPING DISTANCE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, COLLISIONS HAVE NARROWLY BEEN AVOIDED AS THE ABS BRAKE PEDAL "CHATTERING" PREVENTS NORMAL BRAKING AT CRUCIAL TIMES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE ENGINE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY RESTART, BUT OTHER TIMES, IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE STALLED THE MOST DURING DECELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED ONCE AND THE DEALER MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,409 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,523. UPDATED 04/29/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE HAVE BEEN NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. UPDATED
