This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The anti-lock brakes pulsated at low speeds. The consumer could feel it in the pedal and could slightly hear it kick in. It did this on dry roads NHTSA recall 05V279000 was issued in August 2005. But this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. Went to the dealer and basically said the recall would not go into affect until November 2005. Started noticing this around July 15, 2005, and it did this occasionally.
PE99-073, battery post came apart from the battery, causing fluid/acid to spill over the brake electrical system, resulting in poor braking ability and extended stopping distance. Consumer has contacted the manufacturer.
In August 1997 original manufacture battery leaked acid thus corroding the air bag sensor, positive & negative cables & corroding other metal parts to frame of the Yukon. There is now visible rust due to the acid leak. GM dealer martin GMC replaced the battery under warranty. For the second time on 11/24/99 with the 1yr battery GM replaced leakage occured again. This time my anti-lock brake sensor light came on. Needless to say, I had to pay out of pocket $543.94 for replacement of sensor, new front brakes, & new rotors for a vehicle with only 54,194 miles. Also, GM refused to replace the 1year old battery that was leaking because the car was no longer under manufacture warranty even though the battery had leaked previously under warranty. They wanted me to purchase a batter for $80. I refuses & purchased a battery at walmart. This acid problem has caused irreversible damage underneath the hood & it is a recurrent problem. If this is a common problem is there any recourse in getting my money refunded?
I have seen the recalls for the light duty SUV and the investigation of the Suburban and I think my Yukon has similar problems. Increased stopping distance and soft brake pedal. I don't want to be in an accident to prove it.
While driving there was metal on metal noise when brakes were applied. Had no warning. Heard grinding noise. It takes awhile before vehicle slowed down. Took to dealer & mechanic replaced everything on the brakes.
When the brakes are applied the pedal goes to the floor, vehicle experiences extended stopping distance. The dealer has repalced the master cylinder on the vehicle.
While driving vehicle turned left, would not turn back to right, put on brakes and ABS brakes failed to catch, vehicle hit telephone pole, air bag did not deploy.
