| Abs module failure the abs module in my 2001 yukon xl has failed. it will cost me $1200 to replace it. what happens is that the module fails, and the abs motor starts running continually. this is a prevalent problem with gm vehicles from what i have read on the internet, and what i have heard second hand from a service manager at a gm dealership. i noticed today that you are investigating fires resulting from abs modules, and wanted you to know that this is a known problem for gm. i sent gm an email about this, but since i hadn't taken my vehicle to a gm dealer for repair, rather i took it to a local auto repair shop, they were unwilling to do anything about it. when i ultimately took it in, they said it would cost $1200 to fix. *jb | |||

| We own a 2001 gmc yukon xl which is under recall for defective anti-lock brake system. we bought the car used with 100,000 miles on it. the car originally came from michigan; however, we live in tn. the car does not stop when you are traveling at low speeds. there have been countless instances where our car hasn't stopped and we have traveled into oncoming traffic. thankfully, we haven't had an accident involving another vehicle yet. when driving my son to school this morning, we had ice on our roads and it was even more impossible to stop...i worry that with winter conditions, and the need to drive slower, the possibility of an accident with this vehicle will increase. i had heard about the recall months ago on the local news and was worried why we hadn't received our notice. my husband and i have called gmc dealerships in tn repeatedly, but no one would help us until we received a notice from gmc. when i returned home this morning, on friday, december 16, i called the gmc recall information line and spoke with a representative there. i was first informed that my car doesn't qualify for the recall because it has high mileage and is not presently in a northern state. the fact that there is no gmc maintenance record on file was also an issue. i felt that the mileage and the fact that it's not in a northern state now shouldn't affect whether the car qualifies, i was told that it wasn't those factors after all, and that the vin number on our vehicle is traced and they felt no defective part had been placed in our particular vehicle originally. i was informed that any help from gmc for repairs would be on a goodwill basis only and that i would probably be better off taking the vehicle to a cheaper, independently owned car repair shop and have the repairs done myself. i feel gmc is responsible for these repairs. i feel if we lived in michigan, our car would already have been repaired and that gmc is using that fact to get out of funding the work. *jb | |||

| I have a 2001 gmc yukon xl. recently there was a recall for a failure of the abs brake sensors which caused the brakes to pump rapidly at low speeds due to the seals of the bearings going bad and allowing dirt and road salt to get to the sensors. well in early july i had no problems with my vehicle. sometime in late july i started getting the pulsing of the brakes. i was told to wait for the recall, and was able to have the abs disabled by loosening one of the sensors. i brought the vehicle in, the dealer replaced both sensors in the front wheel hubs, but then stated the bearings had gone bad and i needed a new wheel hub. now the car still has no abs, and has a funny feel from that wheel hub. the truck has approx 53,000miles on it. how can the recall say it is based ona faulty seal of the wheel bearings going bad, and they are not responsible to replace the seal or the bearings if they go bad due to their defect? i have contacted gm customer service a number of times and all they say is the recall covers the sensors only, the wheel hub is a wear and tear part and do not show how their defect is not the cause. *nm | |||

| After experiencing abs problems and immediately repairing our 2001 gmc yukon xl regarding the corrosion between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor last year (the hubs and sensors were cleaned and lubed, not replaced), our abs warning light appeared two weeks after the repair. we also began hearing a rubbing sound coming from the front wheels when driving. we notified bob sellers about this, and they reset the abs light. on the way home, the abs warning light came on again. when we took the yukon in to bob sellers to investigate further, they did a computer scan check with the codes indicating pump motor ck open and pump motor k shorted. they also typed clear codes road test over 15 miles, abs did not reset codes. bob sellers now quotes us over $1,000.00 to repair the motor, something we cannot afford. we are very suspicious how this occurred in tandem with the repair and are asking for nhtsa to please look into this. when we needed our abs to engage during the winter season, they failed. our yukon was recently taken in again when the recall regarding the aforementioned problem was issued, and once again, all bob sellers did was clean and lube the sensors, not replace them. please advise, so my family and i are not at risk with this horrible brake situation as the winter season approaches. thank you. *jb | |||

| I have a 2001 yukon xl which has had three instances of known design failures in the braking system -- both emergency features, both well known to the manufacturer. the first is a known design defect in the retaining clip of the emergency/parking brake mechansim. as a result the parking brake will wear out within 20-30k miles. the second is an electrical failure in the ebcm (braking control module) where the abs motor shorts into a always on position. the only way to drive the vehicle is to remove the abs fuse and do without the abs feature. neither known safety issue has a recall assocaited with it. *ak | |||

| 2001 gmc yukon. abs module failed causing pump to run continuously. rather than pay $1,000 for repair, opted to have fuse pulled (suggested by gmc service manager). abs light on dashboard stays lit constantly now. so does the brake light. parking/emergency brake has not worked for three years now. two weeks ago the traction assist off light came on and now it stays lit up too. from what i read in the owners manual, this problem may possibly be related to the abs. after much internet research, i have come to learn that problems referenced above are quite common with gmc vehicles. since the problems are related to the braking capability of the vehicle i believe there are some serious safety issues that need to be addressed. not to mention the fact that i will lose approximately $1500-$2000 value when i try to sell this vehicle. *nm | |||

| My 2001 yukon xl has 50,000 miles on it. upon startup the abs light stayed on and the pump motor continues to run. the only way to stop it is to pull the abs fuse which turns on the brake light. the vehicle is drivable but only with normal braking and no safety of the abs. i have read several other complaints on this failure and feel that gmc should be very concerned about the quality of their product. i have received estimates on the repairs but have not completed them as of yet. in states which there are vehicle inspections this problem would cause the failure of inspection which leads me to believe this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed as such. *jb | |||

| The antilock braking system activates consistently at low speeds on my 2001 gmc yukon xl. the manufacturer has issued a service bulletin addressing the problem but there is no recall. they place the blame on rust affecting the sensors but i have never experienced the problem on any other anti-lock braking system i have had, nor have i ever heard of the problem before. i believe the problem results from the system's design and believe it is a safety issue. i stopped driving my vehicle because the first occurences were startling and i nearly hit another vehicle. the situation did not call for a panic stop but i was startled when it activated and confused by what was happening. it could have been a pedestrian and caused injury even at low speed. the vehicle is now in for repair, which will cost a minimum of $200 plus replacement of any sensors which may not be able to be cleaned. i contacted gm and their response was that i was out of warranty. i believe the liability is the manufacturer's and the system should be modified or corrected to perform safely in all climates in which they market vehicles. especially since many of the affected vehicles are marketed with 4-wheel and all-wheel drive performance as a selling point. thank you for your attention to this matter.*ak | |||
