2000 GMC Yukon Denali: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Feb 28, 2015 · Acceleration, Brakes · 199,000 miles · MN

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.

Abs brakes engaged with no warning at low speeds (parking lots, stop signs, drive throuhs) and greatly increased the stopping distance and safety. This was occouring in the fall of '04 ealy winter of '05. This would happen on totaly dry surfaces, and was to great of a risk to leave un-repaired. I had to pay over $900.00 to correct the one front wheel and the other(s) are sure to follow. This is poor compenent deisign, and should be repaired as defective. An owner should not have to disconect the ABS computer to avoid the brake failure, if they are not able to pay the $900.00 + per hub. Also occaisionaly after clicking driver's seat belt, with out warning, the belt released at the latch. Not under strain, and after it had been fully engaged. Why?
