2002 Gmc Yukon

No warning while exiting, I was able to hit the brakes. Then, when I reached for the brakes again, it didn’t break. There was no signals on the car. The car is total damage air bags came out.

Front passenger seatbelt has always locked up after being put on, which does not allow the passenger the ability to move more than a couple of inches at best.

The contact owns a 2002 GMC Yukon XL. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the contact started to slow for traffic and depressed the brake, and felt no braking. The contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard. The contact stated that the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to safely stop and drove the vehicle to his residence. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed that there was a fractured parking brake spring. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 189,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER HE DROVE THE VEHICLE AT A VERY LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY EXPERIENCED UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS FORCED TO DRIVE AT A HIGHER SPEED IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS ISSUE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER, CABLE DAHMER BUICK GMC OF KANSAS CITY ADDRESS: 907 W 104TH ST, KANSAS CITY, MO 64114) HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND OFFERED LITTLE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VIN WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER THIS RECALL HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED.

AS VEHICLE COMES TO A SLOW STOP THE BRAKES FEEL AS IF THE RELEASE AND STILL ROLL ALSO WHEN PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY OR PARKING SPOT THIS HAS HAPPED OFTEN.

I SWERVED TO MISS A DEER AND I HIT A TREE RUNNING 47 MPH AND MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE VERY LUCKY BUT WHY DIDN'T THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY? MY HUSBAND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR 5 MONTHS DUE TO TORN LIGAMENTS IN HIS SHOULDERS AND STILL HAS TO HAVE SURGERY.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLL OVER ONE FRONTAL CAR ACCIDENT. NOT FOR SURE OF THE SPEED BUT IT WAS OOVER 50 MILES AN HOUR. I HIT BRAKE GOING AROUND THE CURVE AND FLIIPED OVER OVER FIVE TIMES AND NOT YET THE AIRBAG DIDNT DEPLOY. FORCED CAUSE OF THE SEAT BEALT TO STRECCH AND LOCK IN PLACE. POLICE AND TOW TRUCK WAS SURPRISE THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLYED. NOW THE TRUCK IS TOTAL WHICH MEAN CANT BE FIX DESTROYED AND NOT REPAIRABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN POUND.

BRAKES WENT. BOUGHT A CT CAR IN SC. LUCKILY DRIVING 5PMH WHEN THEY WENT. WAITING AT THE SHOP NOW TO GET FIXED. SPENT THE NIGHT IN MY CAR AS I WAS MOVING TO CT

MY VEHICLE IS BEING TAMPERED WITH, INTENTIONALLY REPAIRS IMPROPERLY PREFORMED STEERING WHEELS ENGINE NORTHSTAR ALL. AFFECTED.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THEN I CAME TO MY STOP WHEN I NOTICE MY CAR WAS TRYING TO START AGAIN WHILE IT WAS IN PARK AND I NOTICE THAT MY CAR THEN STARTED SMOKING WHILE TRYING TO START ON IT OWN AFTER THAT HAPPEN MY CAR HAS NEVER STARTED AGAIN PLEASE HELP

EARLY IN THE MORNING I START UP THE TRUCK TO WARM IT UP. I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND AS SOON AS I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" LIGHT COMES ON, THEN THE TRUCK GOES "LIMP MODE" (NOT ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO GO NO MORE THAN 20 MPH IN MOTION). I HAVE TO RESTART THE TRUCK 5 TIMES FOR THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" LIGHT TO TURN OFF. LEAVING THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT ON. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY MORNING, NO MATTER HOE LONG I WARM UP THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 3 YEARS AGO FROM A USED CAR LOT, AND I DIDNT START HAVING ISSUES UNTIL 1 YEAR AGO. THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE WITH ALL GM VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING ON 58 WEST IN STUART VA WHEN WE CAME AROUND A CURVE AND AN 18 WHEELER WAS BROKEN DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR LANE. TWO VEHICLES WERE STOPPED BEHIND THE TRUCK. I QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER BETWEEN THE STOPPED TRAFFIC AND THE ONCOMING VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSING LANE TO AVOID A CRASH. A BRAKE LINE HAD BLOWN CAUSING THE BRAKE FAILURE. I HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE IN ANOTHER GM MODEL, AND WAS QUESTIONING HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT ONE PERSON COULD HAVE TWO SEPARATE BRAKE LINE FAILURES ON TWO SEPARATE BUT SIMILAR VEHICLES. AS I RESEARCHED IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THIS TYPE OF BRAKE FAILURE WAS COMMON ON THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES. I'VE LIVED IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND I HAVE OWNED 30-40 VEHICLES OF ALL MAKES AND MODELS, BUT I HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED NEAR CATASTROPHIC VEHICLE FAILURE ON TWO OF THOSE VEHICLES, A 2001 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AND A 2002 GMC YUKON. TO SAY THAT THESE BRAKE LINE FAILURES COULD BE AVOIDED THROUGH ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS A BRAZEN ATTEMPT TO DEFLECT CULPABILITY TOWARDS A CONSUMER MARKET NEITHER DESIGNED NOR EQUIPPED TO DIAGNOSE PENDING FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. THESE VEHICLES HAVE INNUMERABLE SENSORS TO INDICATE ALL TYPES OF OF POTENTIAL ISSUES, EVEN SO FAR AS TO REMIND THE DRIVER WHEN THE OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. IF THE MANUFACTURER FEELS THE OWNER IS SO INEPT AS TO TRACK OIL CHANGES EVERY THREE THOUSAND MILES, HOW ON EARTH DO THEY EXPECT THOSE SAME PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE DEGRADATION OF BRAKE LINES, MOST OF WHICH ARE HIDDEN? I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A SHOP AND BEEN ASKED AS PART OF THE MANY SERVICES THEY OFFER, INCLUDING STATE SAFETY INSPECTIONS, "WOULD YOU LIKE US TO TEST YOUR BRAKE LINES FOR POTENTIAL FAILURE?" CV AXLES, BALL JOINTS, BRAKE PADS, ALL ARE INCLUDED IN INSPECTIONS. NOT BRAKE LINES, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MAINTENANCE PARTS. GM IS WHOLLY RESPONSIBLE.

ADD ME TO THE CHECK YOUR AIRBAG LAWSUIT

THE FIRST OCCURANCE WAS A YEAR AGO WHEN DRIVING TO PLAY GOLF. WHEN I WAS ABOUT ONE MILE FROM THE COURSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE TO THE COURSE AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE REPAIR WAS MADE BY THE LOCAL DEALER. HE ASKED ME IF I LIVED AT THE COAST DUE TO THE CORROSION FOUND ON THE BRAKE LINE. I DO NOT LIVE NEAR THE COAST AND THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT WITH ONLY 102,000 MILES ON IT. MOST RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WAS VERY SLOW TO STOP. IN MY ESTIMATION, THIS IS VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP ON BEHALF OF GENERAL MOTORS! I HOPE THAT NO PERSON HAS BEEN KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS CEASED TO FUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, AND VARIOUS GAUGES WERE NOT VISIBLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 231,256.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE JUMPED AND HESITATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER 8-3140697651. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF NEEDED BRAKE WORK. BRAKES WERE RECENTLY CHANGED AGAIN AND IT STILL HAS SOFT BRAKING AS WELL AS PULSATING BRAKING. BOTH OF THESE FACTORS LEAD TO DANGEROUSLY SLOW STOPPING EVEN WITH PRACTICALLY NEW PARTS.

VEHICLE JUST STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WITH NO CODES ON DASH OR IN MEMORY. WILL RESTART AFTER 4-5 MINUTES BUT WILL STALL INTERMITTENTLY AFTERWARD.

WHILE COMING TOWARDS AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HIT HER BRAKES SUDDENLY. I REACTED BY HITTING ME BRAKES AND WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN MY BRAKE PETAL SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 5-10 MPH WHEN I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER MOVING OUR VEHICLES FROM THE ROAD, I DISCOVERED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM UNDER MY ENGINE. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND THE MASTER CYLINDER... BOTH LOOKED NORMAL. I GOT UNDER THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK AND I COULD SEE BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN SPRAYED ALL OVER THE LOWER FRONT OF THE ENGINE AND FRONT BUMPER. I COULD SEE THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE VERY RUSTY. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THERE WASN'T ANY INDICATION THAT I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. I SEEMS AS THOUGH THE BRAKE LINE JUST FAILED. I WAS TRAVELING ON A LOCAL ROAD IN A STRAIGHT LINE APPROX 30-35 MPH WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.

GOT HOME AROUND 11:30PM. AT 2:30AM WAS AWAKEN BY A HONK, TO FIND OUT MY GMC YUKON WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AROUND THE HOOD. THE VECHICLE WAS PARKED ON OUR DRIVE WAY DOING NOTHING ON JUST SITTING THERE.
