The population and failure report data given in this resume are for the full region that has been considered by odi as the salt-belt.that includes delaware, iowa, maryland, minnesota, missouri, wisconsin and the district of columbia in addition to the 14 states included in 05v‑379.the states covered by gm's recall have the highest incident rates for the subject condition, accounting for 91% of the incidents, but only 24% of subject vehicle sales in the united states.odi's analysis determined that 840 of the complaints, 244 of the crashes, and 16 of the injuries identified in this investigation occurred in those states.the resulting incident and crash rates are 96.2 and 28.0 per 100,000 vehicles respectively (note:rates are based on vehicle sales, not registered vehicles).

Low speed activation of ABS brakes, on dry pavement, extending the stopping distance to an unanticipated length. Although a collision did not occur, the problem is on going. This sounds like the same circumstances which are included in the manufacturer's recall 05v379000. Even though we are not located in one of the 14 states included in the recall, our state does and has used salt and other corrosive substances to clear roadways of ice and snow for many years.

Brakes failed to stop properly, surging/intermittent pulsing and strange sounds. I thought this was a normal function for ABS brakes. I tolerated and drove carefully for years. Now I find this is a symptom of a gmc recall problem 05v‑379. Upon contacting gmc they say their computers need updating and it "may" be in for recall but the gmc does not have the correct parts now. Sounds like a major problem. I am worried about total failure and am registering a complaint. They said that I could get it fixed now and then they "may" reimburse me later. I called the gmc number on their recall site, the site said my number "may" qualify for recall. I am confused and frustrated now that I know this is a big problem for other gmc products and can't get fixed.

My 2000 gmc yukon denali is experiencing problems as described in recall 05068 from gmc. Gmc has told me that my vehicle falls under the right time frame but does not fall under the right VIN numbers. I am having the exact same problems! The following is an email that I received from gmc: vehicles of a model year are affected. There is an upcoming recall 05068 front wheel speed sensor- description: ABS wheel sensors. General motors will notify all owners of involved vehicles beginning 10/12/2005. Please make sure the local department of motor divisions (dmv) has your current information for mailing purposes in case your vehicle is involved in the recall. Below are some information that may be helpful for the upcoming recall. Description of condition: some of the subject vehicles may experience extended stopping distance associated with unwanted anti-lock brake system (ABS) activation during low-speed brake applications (less than 10 MPH and greater than 3.7 MPH). This condition does not set any ABS codes nor does it illuminate the ABS warning lamp. This condition is more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas, based on field report data. Consequence of condition: when the peak-to-peak wheel speed sensor voltage level received at the ABS controller is below the minimum specified peak-to-peak level, the ABS controller interprets this as a wheel speed that is less than the actual wheel speed. In other words, the ABS interprets the wheel as slipping when it is not. If the brakes are applied, an extended stopping distance may be required.

Filed Nov 4, 2005 · Brakes · 94,000 miles · NY

The speed sensor fails at speeds between 6 and 9 mpg; resulting in no or limited ability to brake. Repeated near accidents have occurred in traffic and in parking situations. The vehicle is being repaired at this time at jim murphy pontiac-gmc truck, inc. 3000 walden ave depew, ny 14043 phone: 716‑684‑8900 fax: 716‑684‑9050. I understand gm has recalled practically identical vehicles such as the gm tahoe, suburban, etc. My understanding is that the gmc yukon denali is virtually the same vehicle as the gm tahoe. I would like to understand why that recall is not applied to the gmc yukons.
