What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 gmc yukon denali. The contact stated when driving at approximately 3-10 MPH and applying the brakes, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) would engage.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.
I have a 2002 yukon denali awd. I took a long trip this week for vacation and noticed that the ABS light as been coming on and off, and now its on all the time. Whenever im moving at low speeds it tends to pulse when I brake or have the ABS activate making an easy slow stop become and long stop that has made me swerve to miss many near collisions in the past few days. Im also hearing a knocking sound at low speeds in the drive side wheel only when I turn right, between the 2 that have just recently appeared made my 900 mile trip a nightmare, not knowing what it is. I've researched the problem online and notice there was a recall in canada for the same problem and that the complaints are not high enough to get it in the u.s. So how many ppl need to risk being injured or killed for gm to do the right thing. They obviously no something is wrong and is not willing to help the consumers. Thanks
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 10 MPH, the ABS engaged. There was a the federal safety agency recall, # 05v379000, regarding the antilock brakes. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
I own a 2002 yukon denali, and my ABS kicks in at low speeds. There is already a recall for this issue but my [xxx] excludes me to obtain this recall. I own a 2002 yukon denali, I live in the "salt belt" states (new jersey), I am experiancing unwanted ABS activation at low speeds, my VIN does not match the SUV's mentioned for this recall. I meet all quailifations for this recall except one (my VIN). So my SUV is not covered. *nm updated 07/17/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Abs system always activates when it shouldn't at slow speeds, resulting in increased stopping distances.
