What owners say
Intermittently vehicle would wander while driving 30-65 MPH. Dealer and manufacturer were notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further information.
When driving at a speed of 30 MPH and over , the steering releases for a few seconds and the vehicles wander all over the place . Also the steering feel loose at all times. Also when stepping on the brakes sometimes the truck doesn't stop , I also don't think the ABS is working properly. I tried it in slippery conditions and I never felt the pedal shake . I had a 1995 yukon before and it worked fine. 8ak
While driving vehicle would wander at 55 & more MPH. Vehicle was inspected,repaired on eight occasions and condition still occurs. Mfr. Notified.
Vehicle has a bad handling problem. Vehicle begins wandering all over the road once reaching 50mph, and is hard to manage at these speeds. Dealer has been contacted.
When stepping on the brakes they pulsate and make the vehicle pull to the right or left with extra braking distance.
At higher speeds when traveling over 50 MPH the power steering releases and the yukon wanders all over the road. The steering box has been replaced twice. The problem still exists.
Steering is poor, demonstrates the tendency to wander.
