All the vehicles are from the 1999-2002 model years. This is the only info I can find on this recall richard cormier.

When stopping the antilock brake system activates at slow speed greatly increasing stopping distance. Specially when towing my boat. I had a slight fender bender with no injuries. This condition happens daily. My wheel speed sensors were replaced by a dealer. I was told that there was a recall for Yukons 2000 and up. Our Yukon is a 1999 with the same issue. See NHTSA action number pe05020 and NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000.

1999 GMC Yukon 4wd with 110,000 miles. Abs activation at low speed (4 mph and less), and causes increased stopping distance, happens regularly. Have had several close calls, and one incident that did not result in injury or damage to either vehicle. News report dated August 30, 2005 stated GMC was recalling about 800,000 sport utility vehicles and pickups because of corrosion was affecting the abs leading to more than 200 low-speed crashes. Gm recall #05v-379 suggest that 1999 vehicles are subject to recall, but gm customer service line and local dealership denies that the recall applies to my vehicle.

1999 GMC Yukon 4wd. Abs activation at low speed, increased stopping distance, happens regularly. Several close calls, but no collisions (yet). Nhtsa campaign id #05v379000, gm recall #05v-379 suggest that 1999 vehicles are subject to recall, but gm customer service line denies that the recall applies to my vehicle.

Gm recall # 05068 for this safety issue. This recall pertains to certain pickup trucks and SUV's between 1999 and 2002 and failing abs at slow speeds which causes the brakes to pulsate and to not work correctly. The recall covered most of the ne states (salt belt) and was caused by corrosion. The abs low speed sensor's would malfunction and cause the abs to activate and the vehicle would not stop (as if slipping). I own a 1999 GMC Yukon with 70k miles and the abs sensors are shot. I called gm, they told me to contact a local dealer, when I did, the dealer said they would talk to the gm rep. Final answer from gm . . . Since my VIN was not part of the recall, they will do nothing. They want $300 to fix my 99 Yukon, the same problem they would fix for free if it were a 1999 sierra k1500 truck or a 2000 Yukon, both vehicles using the same abs sensors. My 1999 GMC Yukon is a k1500 (as stated on the original sticker) and that vehicle is covered by the recall as well as the 2000 Yukon. I have checked and the replacement sensors are the same for my 99 Yukon as they are for the 99 k1500 and the 2000 Yukon. Gm dealer said to me, "well you truck is out of warranty". What does that have to do with a safety recall. I have names from the dealership, the local gm rep, gm customer service call #71-550013xxx. Both gm and the dealership have refused to fix my vehicle under the gm recall, stating that “since your VIN is not listed in the recall, there is nothing we can do�.

The contact stated that this happened everyday, and he tried to get the dealership to do something to fix the abs. The abs prevented him from coming to a complete stop. This failure caused a crash. The contact's vehicle struck another vehicle while trying to come to a complete stop. The impact was minor and little damage was done. The contact called the manufacturer, and was told to call the dealership. The contact called the dealership, and was advised that the vehicle was out of warranty, and he would be responsible for any diagnostics services.

The vehicle was seen by a dealer who replaced the front wheel speed sensor and bearing assemblies. There is a NHTSA recall, # 05v379000, regarding the antilock brakes. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.

I recently had my 1999 GMC Yukon serviced for abs wheel sensor failure. Remedy was replacement of both front wheel abs speed sensors. After the service, I was made aware of gm recall #05068 having to do with abs wheel sensors malfunctioning due to salt corrosion. My vehicle has been registered in new york state from 1999 to 2003. Currently, it is registered in virginia. I was told by gm that my vehicle will not be recalled because it is not registered in a "salt belt state". I requested that my vehicle be included in this recall due to it being registered and used in new york most of its' in service time. My claim was denied because the vehicle is currently registered in virginia. I was further told by gm that if my vehicle was still registered in NY, the recall would be issued. I feel this recall should be issued to vehicles affected, not just vehicles that are currently located in a certain geographical location.

I have a 1999 GMC Yukon SUV and I've been told that the abs sensors are corroded because of the salt used on the roads here in mi in the winter. There is a recall on these vehicles at the present time but when I took my vehicle in for the necessary repair they told me the VIN # was not on their list. Whenever I stop at an intersection or red light or pull up to park I have a growling noise as I apply the brakes and a slipping of the brake pedal and the car keeps on moving when I think its going to stop. I have had the dealer drive the vehicle and also a brake mechanic and both state it is due to the corrosion that has formed under the wheel speed sensor and moves the sensor away from the integral speed-sensor toothed ring. The condition does not set any abs codes nor does it illuminate the abs warning lamp. The recall ( 05068) by gm procedure involves removing the wheel speed sensors cleaning the sensor mounting surfaces on the bearings, applying zinc-x to the cleaned surfaces, greasing the mounting surfaces, reinstalling the speed sensors, and verifying that the wheel speed signal output voltages were within specification. I cannot understand why my vehicle hasn't been recalled especially when I am experiencing the exact symptoms as others that have been recalled! I have not had the vehicle fixed yet as I am waiting to be accepted on the list. Can you please help in accomplishing this for me before their is an accident. Thank you.

1999 GMC Yukon experienced anti- lock brake problems related to speed sensor corrosion. Sensors were replaced by dealer in may 2005 pursuant to the ongoing investigation of the problem at that time. Understanding that in the event of a recall, I would be reimbursed. Initial recall correspondence by gm to NHTSA in August indicated that 1999 Yukons were covered by recall. Same correspondence was sent to dealers in August 2005 indicating coverage of 1999 Yukons. Recall correspondence from GMC to dealers and owners in October, 2005 now do not cover 1999 Yukon's. I had these repairs made with the understanding that an investigation was underway, involving 1999 Yukon's and with assurances from dealer that reimbursement would be made if recall was warranted. On 11/23/05 spoke with gm and dealer and both indicate that recall on this vehicle is not warranted and reimbursement is not authorized.

My 1999 GMC Yukon slt 4x4 5. 7l VIN 1gkek13r4xj705330 has the same unwanted low speed abs activation that is currently being recalled on 1999 and up GMC light trucks. I contacted two local dealers and they both told me that me VIN was not recalled. I also called gm directly and was told the same thing. I think the scope of this recall needs to be expanded. I recently had to replace the rf wheel speed sensor and the problem has gone away. The abs/wheel speed sensor is not sold separately from the hub assembly. I paid $380. 00 plus labor for an aftermarket hub assembly just to get an $80 sensor. I have the old sensor.

The anti- lock brakes at lower speeds feel like the vehicle wants to keep going, and pulsate when applied before stopping. This happens most of the time, at low speeds. There has been no complete failure at this time (I expect it know when to stop it). I tried having this fixed at a garage and they replaced the wheel baring because they said it contains the speed sensor (it didn't work). The abs kicks in when going forward and reverse.

When slowing down the anti lock brakes kick in and it takes longer to stop the truck. The consumer has hit a fence and almost hit a person. Had the problem fixed and then heard about the problem on the news. The front abs wheel speed sensors and master cylinder was replaced.
