Brought yukon in to koons gmc in manassas, virginia in 2012 for two recalls which I was told were both done along with getting an estimate for $3300 for largely an intake manifold. I have called gm corp and been told many times over that past two years as more cars have been added to recall lists that there were no remaining recalls for my vehicle; now gm corporate says the wheel sensor recall (necessary to avoid low speed crashes) was actually never performed and gm corporate cannot explain why I have been told by both dealerships in the dc area and gm corporate over the past two years (exceeding 10 total calls) since that there were no remaining recalls left to perform on this yukon. Presumably the headrest recall I brought it into koons in manassas, va as a second afterthought to the wheel sensor recall was the only thing they ended up doing other than giving me an estimate for over $3300 for work that has never needed to be done. My unanswered question to gm corporate was "I's this how your going to handle the ignition recalls?" additionally, gm claims to be unable to answer the question of whether my ignition switch is the same in design as any of those that have been recalled. Do americans citizens not have the right to at least that much "proprietary"-protected information from gm? Gm corporate's specialist claimed to object to my mentioning that I, too, might record the call. Koons also never noticed that the previous owner had broken out the ABS light because prior to the recall (which should have later tipped me off that they did not actually clean the wheel sensor and check the ABS light since it was not on the $3300 estimate of necessary repairs), because nobody really knew then why the ABS light would stay on. I believe this was a retaliatory act. I mentioned to koons snd gm corporate before service that I was disabled.

Brake line from ABS module to rear brakes failed due to corrosion.

Filed May 21, 2012 · Brakes · NE

When slowing down at an intersection stop light, at the speed of under 10 MPH, the ABS brakes suddenly kicked in and pulsated, not allowing the truck to stop. This almost resulted in a rear end collision with a stopped vehicle in front of me. After pulling into a parking lot the same issue happened again, causing me to panic and stump on the brakes hard before running into the parking blocks in front of a business. After taking the vehicle to the mechanics they could not diagnose a problem. Even though there was no ABS warning light or error code, we elected to replace both ABS speed sensors as a precaution. The problem still existed. I decided to have both front and rear brakes including rotors replaced as a precaution. The problem still accures with every slower speed attemp to stop. I am very reluctant to drive the vehicle and when I due, I have to begin my braking well in advance and at a increased distance from where I would like to stop.

Recall number 05V379000 · Recall details

Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittingsReported October 30, 2000 · 1,383,922 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a clearance condition between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill that could decrease to the point of allowing contact during the life of the vehicle. If contact occurs and the brake pipe becomes damaged, in half of the brake system there can be a loss of brake fluid and pressure. The brake warning lamp will be activated when the brake fluid level reaches the indicator limit.
Risk
During braking, the pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances will be longer. If this occurs when stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the front right-hand brake pipe for wear. If there are signs of wear, this section of the brake pipe will be replaced with a new designed brake pipe section. If there are not signs of wear on the brake pipe, the dealer will install a spacer clip to ensure sufficient clearance between the brake pipe and the body cross sill.
