Five problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1998 GMC Yukon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I just bought a 1998 Yukon and during inspection asked about my brake issues. I was told that there was a recall for the abs. I looked it up and it is doing exactly what the recall states (gm re-call #05068). During low-speed braking, it has an increased stopping distance, which could result in a crash. The recall is only for 1999-2002 vehicles. I'm wondering why the 1998's weren't included in this re-call as it is apparent that they have the same issue. What should I do about this?.
Anti-lock brakes engage at slow speeds and increase stopping distance.
I have a 1998 GMC Yukon and for the past 3 years I've been dealing with the gm antilock brake problem outlined in the 1999 thru 2002 recall. There have been many close calls over the last 3 years and when the antilock brakes kick in for no apparent reason at low speeds it is both very un-nerving and scary. Is there any chance of the recall also covering 1998 year vehicles?.
Abs brake problems; 3 0r 4 times a day when applying the brakes, under normal braking situations, regualr road condtions, the pedal goes down to the floor broad and the abs does not kick in, resulting in extended stopping distance. Vehicle has been to the dealer (6) times for brake problems. Dealer admitted there was a problem with the abs, but could not rectify. On 5/12/98, driver was involved in a crash due to brake problems.
When applying the brakes suddenly and then releasing the brake pedal, there is a jerk to the vehicle. Dealer has seen vehicle and said itwas normal. This problem occurrs sporadically.
