The spare tire fell off the truck. Is held on by a hoist and cable system. The cable broke allowing the tire to fall to the ground. Luckily the vehicle was being backed out of the garage and not going down the road when it happened. This could have been fatal for my family or others on the road! so far I have called the dealership and GMC. They want to schedule an appointment but as of right now do not want to cover the part because its more than seven years old. This is not acceptable. This part failed and could have caused injury to my family and or others. Incident happened this morning on 12/9/11.
I own a 2001 GMC Yukon and this is the second time the abs module has failed on it. After it fails, the motor continues to run. Not only do you not have abs, but the motor heats up. If you don't notice it right away, it will drain your battery, leave you stranded, or worse.

I would like to note that my 2001 GMC Yukon xl experiences the same problems as described in your investigation # pe05020 as it relates to abs brakes at low speeds. I'm hoping that this will be recalled soon so that it can be repaired soon.
Our 2001 GMC Yukon xl has no "door ajar" warning light or indicator of any kind other than the dome light coming on if a door is open. Is this within your regulation for safe vehicles.
