Seven problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 1999 GMC Yukon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Anytime I apply the brakes and reach a speed between 5 and 10 mph the abs engages and the stopping distance is greatly increased.
Brake rotor and pad kit purchased from rock auto was the wrong dimension and they refused to accept the improper fit, the following response from rock auto: :[xxx] I have received a reply from the manufacturer confirming that part number koe 1970, the rotors you received, are the correct rotors for a 1999 GMC Yukon 5. 7l v8 with 4wd and 6 lug wheels. The part number for these rotors should be ar8609xpr. If this is not the number stamped on the rotor you received, you may have received a mis-boxed part. If that is the case, please respond with the number that is stamped on the rotor you received. If this number matches the rotors you received, you can simply follow the return instructions I have emailed to you. In this case we would be unable to refund you the original shipping, but we will cover the return shipping in the form of a shipping label. When the manufacturer says that the fit is correct and the customer says it is not, it is our policy to split the shipping on the order. I apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your cooperation in this matter. This is a very dangerous condition where the aftermarket "brokers" like rock auto are selling parts that are the wrong size and then supporting the manufacturer (profiting). The thickness of the rotor plate pushed my road wheel out beyond full wheel lug nut engagement and no engagement of the road wheel center hole with the bearing hub. The only contact was the lug nuts. This is an extremely dangerous condition. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Had to stop in a hurry on the freeway and was going about 60 miles an hour and hit the brakes, I believe the abs locked up and I fishtailed from the left to the right and back to the left again. Engine shutoff automatically and check engine light came on. This nearly caused a multi car collision with a possible bridge fly away as we were on a bridge at the time. Luckily through defensive driving was able to gain control of the vehicle and keep it from hitting anything or anyone, however now when turning right or left there is a squeak at every rotation when going slow. Also the vehicle slowly hesitates coming to a stop and abs will sometimes start engaging causing near collisions.
The contact owns a 1999 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while braking at low speeds, the vehicles front end would rattle and shake. The contact stated that the brake pedal would travel to the floorboard when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the abs module needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, however the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Press brake pedal ,SUV did not stop noted leak under rear driver side above tire.
In my 1999 GMC Yukon denali at a slow speed while trying to come to a complete stop the abs prematurely actavate making it nearly impossible to stop completely. I have read many complaints about the same problem with the same vehicle and still nothing has been done about it. Please post a recall for this specific vehicle. There are recalls for similar vehicles but not the 1999 GMC Yukon denali. Why?.
The contact owns a 1999 GMC Yukon. While driving approximately 25 mph on normal road conditions, the antilock system activated unexpectedly when the brake pedal was slightly depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to the brakes. The vehicle was repaired. On ten separate occasions, the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for identical failures. The vehicle has not been repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 49,000 and current mileage was 107,000.
