2000 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

1. DURING A FAMILY VACATION TO FLORIDA, MY BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED TO FAIL AT SLOW SPEEDS NORMALLY BETWEEN 5 AND 10MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BECOME STIFF AND THE SYSTEM WOULD MAKE NOISE LIKE THE ABS WAS BEING ACTIVATED. 2. BEING A FAMILY VEHICLE, I HAD THE REPAIR DONE IMMEDIATELY, THE TECHNICIANS IN FLORIDA WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH MY SYMPTOM. AT FIRST THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 3. THE CREW TOOK TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS TO FIGURE OUT FINALLY THAT THE FRONT WHEEL SENSORS FOR THE ABS WERE CORRODED (BECAUSE I LIVE IN MAINE) AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE SENSORS AND THIS ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEM.

THIS RELATES TO THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED INVESTINGATION INTO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON GM LIGHT TRUCKS AND SUVS. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05020 I OWN A 2000 YUKON XL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, IT DEVELOPED THE SLOW-SPEED ABS ACTIVATION PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN YOUR ABOVE-DESCRIBED ACTION, RESULTING IN OCCASIONAL INABILITY TO STOP PROPERLY AT STOP SIGNS AND PARKING SPACES. THE FREQUENCY OF INCIDENT INCREASED, UNTIL IN EARLY 2004, WE HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE WE BUMPED ANOTHER VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH WITH NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. WE THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP, WHO REPAIRED IT BY DISASSEMBLY, CLEANING AND REASSEMBLY, AT OUR EXPENSE, SINCE THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAD LAPSED. AS OF NOW, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT YET REOCCURRED, HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION, IT WILL REOCCUR. WE WOULD LIKE A PERMANENT FIX, AS WELL AS PERHAPS GM TO TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR ALREADY PERFORMED.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES ON MY 2000 GMC YUKON XL I HAVE EXPERIENCED ENGAGEMENT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND SUBSEQUENT INCREASED DISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS AT LOWER SPEEDS, 25-40MPH, AND GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS (DRY PAVEMENT). I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MAINTANCE WORK PREFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHEIRE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I REPORTED THE BRAKING PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGERAND ASKED THAT THE BRAKE AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BE INSPECTED. PRIOR TO VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM A TEST DRIVE WAS COMPLETED IN AN ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE BRAKING PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE "VIBRATION: WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT DID NOT POSE ANY SAFETY THREAT. I EXPLAINED AGAIN THAT THE "VIBRATION" WAS NOT FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IN THE BRAKE SHOE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND REPORTED TO HAVE 80% WEAR ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO AND STILL LOOKED GOOD. THERE WAS NO REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I REQUESTED TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. ALL MAINTANCE SERVICE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OIL AND FILTER CHANGES HAS BEEN DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

CONTACT STATES: ABS ON VEHICLE WERE COMING ON WHILE BEING ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS OCCURRED ALSO ON SLIPPERY ROADS, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PAID FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET, A NEW BRAKE SENSOR WAS REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR.*AK

POWER WINDOWS IN DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FAILED. THE MOTOR, REGULATOR, CABLE, AND PULLEY BREAK DOWN AND GETS TANGLED INSIDE AND JAMS UP. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE DRIVER SIDE WENT THE END OF THE SUMMER OF 2004 AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT THE MIDDLE OF APRIL. THE WINDOW DOES NOT MOVE

MY ABS BRAKES ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEED AND INCREASE THE STOPPING DISTANCE. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING YET BUT HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS IN PARKING LOTS AND IN TRAFFIC.

PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR, 2000 GMC YUKON XL. WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SINCE IT SEEMS THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF THIS PART. AND THAT INFO COMES STRAIGHT FROM GM. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE APRIL 6TH FOR THIS PART AND AM TOLD THAT IT WILL BE MID-MAY SOMETIME WHEN I MAY ACTUALLY GET IT. THEY SAID THE DEMAND FOR THIS PART HAS BEEN GREAT THEY RAN OUT. I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER, WHY WOULD THERE BE A SHORTAGE OF THIS WINDOW REGULATOR AND A HIGH DEMAND FOR THIS IF THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. *AK

ACCELERATOR THROTTLE STICKS AND REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO REQUIRE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND EACH TIME CAUSES VEHICLE SURGE.

ABS SYSTEM FIRES AT LOW SPEEDS FOR NO REASON (DRY PAVEMENT). VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE APPEARS INCREASED. GM HAS RECALL # 04094 FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS LOCALIZED TO CERTAIN AREAS IN CANADA ONLY.*AK
