On my 2000 gmc yukon xl, a computer module for the antilock brake system is defective and goes out causing a small electric motor to stay on running the battery down. The fuse for the anti-lock braking system must be removed, thus disabling the anti-lock braking system to keep the battery from dying. This has already happened twice on my vehicle and also to many others with 1999-2002 yukons. Gmc knows of the problem but refuses to correct it.
2000 GMC Yukon XL brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Anti-lock brakes start activating at slow speeds. Reported to dealer who told me it is a known problem and is expensive to fix. Has not caused a crash or injury yet.
My anti lock brakes activate at about 5 MPH continually . I hit a fence and decided to pull out the anti lock fuse which also disabled my cruise control.
Abs sensor falure please push for recall!!!!!!! When braking to a stop ,the vehicle continues to move forward farther than what is normally expected with a vibrating in the brake pedal. Nearly caused a horrible accident! Pulled ABS fuse untill I can get more info on how to resolve the problem.
Abs sensor went bad in front passenger side wheel bearing assembly. Abs would go off on dry roads just before vehicle stopped. Sometimes this caused our vehicle to take longer to stop. We had the whole wheel bearing assembly replaced by a non dealer garage to the tune of $382.47. Now one year later the problem is back. I think gm has a big problem here and should recall all these. Our 2000 gmc yukon xl only has 50,000 miles on it.
While applying brakes at very low speed the ABS system activates resulting in an increased stopping distance. No warning light goes on. This occurs on a dry surface with no wheel slip. 29,000 miles on vehicle.
Antilock brakes slip at low speads and fail to stop vehicle. Both my wife and I have had incidences in recent weeks where we needed to release the pedal and reset stopping just barely in time before a collision. We plan on bring the car into gmc this week. No indicator is illuminated. Our complaint sounds very much like the federal safety agency action number pe05020 opened on 4-28-05.
Dt: the brake's ABS system is malfunctioning. The brakes are not engaging properly at low and high speeds. The brakes have to be pumped a couple of times before you can come to a complete stop. The consumer has had the brakes replaced once. The dealer was the one to replace the brakes. The speeds are between 20-30, high 40-50 when you have to start pumping them. If you hit a bump at low speeds the brakes will push back up instead of down. The consumer has had this problem for 5 years. The dealer was informed that there was a problem on the vehicle. The consumer was in a minor accident because of the brake failure.
Dt; when you apply brake pressure do not know if you will stop or not. You heard this was a problem with the sensor. Brakes have been replaced along with sensors and you still have the problem.
1. During a family vacation to florida, my braking system started to fail at slow speeds normally between 5 and 10mph. The brake pedal would become stiff and the system would make noise like the ABS was being activated. 2. Being a family vehicle, I had the repair done immediately, the technicians in florida were not familiar with my symptom. At first they replaced the master cylinder but this did not solve the problem. 3. The crew took two additional days to figure out finally that the front wheel sensors for the ABS were corroded (because I live in maine) and they finally replaced the sensors and this alleviated the problem.
This relates to the recently announced investingation into the anti-lock brakes on gm light trucks and suvs. The federal safety agency action number pe05020 I own a 2000 yukon xl. When the vehicle was about 2 1/2 years old, it developed the slow-speed ABS activation problem described in your above-described action, resulting in occasional inability to stop properly at stop signs and parking spaces. The frequency of incident increased, until in early 2004, we had an incident where we bumped another vehicle, although with no damage or injuries. We then took it to a local gmc dealership, who repaired it by disassembly, cleaning and reassembly, at our expense, since the warranty period had lapsed. As of now, the problem has not yet reoccurred, however, we believe that since the problem was caused by corrosion, it will reoccur. We would like a permanent fix, as well as perhaps gm to take financial responsibility for the repair already performed.
When applying the brakes on my 2000 gmc yukon xl I have experienced engagement of the anti-lock brakes and subsequent increased distance required to stop the vehicle. I have not had any accidents related to this problem. The described problem usually occurs at lower speeds, 25-40mph, and good road conditions (dry pavement). I have recently had maintance work preformed on this vehicle at the gmc dealership wheire I purchased the car. I reported the braking problem to the service managerand asked that the brake and anti-lock brake system be inspected. Prior to visual inspection of the brake system a test drive was completed in an attempt to duplicate the braking problem. I was informed that the "vibration: was due to a problem in the steering column and it did not pose any safety threat. I explained again that the "vibration" was not felt in the steering wheel but in the brake shoe while applying the brakes. The brakes were inspected and reported to have 80% wear on the front brake pads. The rear brake pads had been replaced about 9 months ago and still looked good. There was no reported problem with the anti-lock brakes. I requested to have the front brake pads replaced at that time. All maintance service with the exception of oil and filter changes has been done at the dealership where the vehicle was purchased.
Contact states: ABS on vehicle were coming on while being on dry pavement. This occurred also on slippery roads, resulting in extended stopping distance. Paid for repairs out of pocket, a new brake sensor was replaced on the vehicle. Afterwards no problems with the car.
My ABS brakes activate at low speed and increase the stopping distance. I have not hit anything yet but have had several close calls in parking lots and in traffic.
Abs system fires at low speeds for no reason (dry pavement). Vehicle stopping distance appears increased. Gm has recall # 04094 for this issue but it is localized to certain areas in canada only.
I have 52,000 mile on my vehicle and have to replace the brake system for the third time. Not including the price of this thrid replacement the brakes and tire package is costing $40 per mile. The brake system is unreliable and the manufacturer repairman states the casue is the weather conditions of new york. If the weather is the reason for poor brake performance then the manufacturer should modify the system or not sell the vehicle in new york.
Parking brake failure. Poor manufacturer design causes expensive repairs to pass inspection and manufacturer will not cover expenses. Service bulletins issued regarding poor design and new kits made to replace substandard parts.
Parking brake doesn't work. Parking brake pedal goes to the floor with no resistance.
Problems with 2001 yukon xl's ABS equipment.*mr the dealer was notified several times about defective emergency brakes, however they fell to fix the problem. The repairs were very expensive. Please help in compensating the consumer for defective vehicle. The ABS light illuminated, the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and was advised the electronic brake module needed to be replaced *cb
Emergency brakes do not engage. I do not normally use the emergency brake, and only noticed this problem after the warranty expired.
