1999 GMC YUKON Recalls, Complaints & Safety

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. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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

GM RECALL # 05068 FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS RECALL PERTAINS TO CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SUV'S BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 AND FAILING ABS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES TO PULSATE AND TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE RECALL COVERED MOST OF THE NE STATES (SALT BELT) AND WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION. THE ABS LOW SPEED SENSOR'S WOULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP (AS IF SLIPPING). I OWN A 1999 GMC YUKON WITH 70K MILES AND THE ABS SENSORS ARE SHOT. I CALLED GM, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT A LOCAL DEALER, WHEN I DID, THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD TALK TO THE GM REP. FINAL ANSWER FROM GM ...SINCE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THEY WANT $300 TO FIX MY 99 YUKON, THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WOULD FIX FOR FREE IF IT WERE A 1999 SIERRA K1500 TRUCK OR A 2000 YUKON, BOTH VEHICLES USING THE SAME ABS SENSORS. MY 1999 GMC YUKON IS A K1500 (AS STATED ON THE ORIGINAL STICKER) AND THAT VEHICLE IS COVERED BY THE RECALL AS WELL AS THE 2000 YUKON. I HAVE CHECKED AND THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS ARE THE SAME FOR MY 99 YUKON AS THEY ARE FOR THE 99 K1500 AND THE 2000 YUKON. GM DEALER SAID TO ME, "WELL YOU TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY". WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE NAMES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE LOCAL GM REP, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL #71-550013XXX. BOTH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE REFUSED TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNDER THE GM RECALL, STATING THAT SINCE YOUR VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO.
