Abs Brake Fail problems of the 2001 GMC Yukon

Vehicle lost braking action at low speeds. This occurred intermittently, about once a week over a one month period. Vehicle had adequate brake fluid. No dash indicator lights indicated a brake or abs problem. No collision occurred, no injuries occurred, due to lack of traffic and adequate stopping distance. Repair shop notified customer many similar vehicles were covered by an abs brake recall. Gm was contacted and said this specific vehicle was not covered under the recall. Vehicle was taken to a repair shop and diagnosed with an abs sensor failure at low speed on the left front wheel. Parts will be saved. Published recall documents indicate several states, including the state of missouri were involved with this recall. This vehicle came from a missouri, GMC dealer, was sold by a kansas, GMC dealer. This vehicle was driven extensively in the kansas city, missouri metropolitan area.

2001 Yukon denali- abs fails at slow speeds 2001 Yukon denali- catalytic converter failure.

Was driving truck and noticed loud motor noise in addition to engine running. Turned truck off in garage and a motor noise was still running with engine turned off. Abs light on dash illuminated. Unloaded child, self and groceries from truck. 30 minutes later, (trying to figure out next step to correct problem since it was a Sunday), motor noise is still running and engine is off. Drove truck to firestone garage. Turned engine off, motor noise still running. Garage hooked truck up to diagnostic system and said that there was a failure in abs system. They disconnected abs system and motor noise stopped. Said that the part was dangerously hot and that this could have been very bad because the abs system sits right under/over the gas tank. Can you imagine what could have happened to my family and house if it caused a fire in my garage? what if I couldn't have found a garage that was open on Sunday afternoon? there aren't many, believe me. I have received a quote to have part replaced, but have not fixed yet. It is very inconvenient for me to leave my truck at a dealership for the length of time this is going to take to be diagnosed again (and of course the dealer wants me to pay the $99 diagnostic fee again after I have already paid this once to firestone). I do not feel that the abs system should fail on a truck that is only 5 years old.

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.

In Aug 2005, the abs light on our 2001 GMC Yukon with 51k miles came on and there was a grinding noise (the pump) underneath the driver's side which remains on when the vehicle is turned off. The abs fuse must be removed to shut off the pump. Our local GMC dealership repaired it for $1100 ($870 for the abs module). In Sep 2009, the abs failed again at 91k miles. Our GMC dealership helped cover the cost of repair by covering the cost of the module. We had to wait 2 months (Nov 2009) before the vehicle could be repaired because we were told that the module was being redesigned to fix these problems. In oct 2014, the abs failed again at 138k miles. Our GMC dealership put us in contact with GMC customer service with the hope that GMC could assist in covering the cost of repair. After several frustrating phone calls with supervisors, we were told that the vehicle was too old and therefore GMC would not assist. During these phone calls GMC stated that there was a recall for the vehicle in "salt-belt" states but not California. Obviously the abs module is defective as a relative with a similar vehicle (chevy tahoe) had the same issue with the abs module. In searching the internet, we found a company that states that they can repair the module for under $100 and guarantees the repair for life. If they can do this, why can't gm make the necessary changes to the abs module and give customers the peace of mind that the vehicle will be safe. Hopefully the NHTSA will use this and similar complaints and force gm to issue a recall on the abs module.

Abs and rear brake failure.

Abs module failure at around 39,000 miles. Removed abs fuse to get motor to stop running continuously, as it was extremely hot. Called dealership about repairing the motor, but they do not repair the modules, only replace entire module for $1000 (with the exact same module). Sent module to a company that replaced the faulty parts for $100, with parts that well exceed shoddy oem standards, with a lifetime warranty on the parts as well.

Abs brake failure on my GMC 2001 Yukon01. 1st failure occurred at 18000 miles. Dealer would only fix if I spend $600 on all new rotors & pads(all 4 wheels). Ask to check all other sensors at the time. They said the where ok. 2 nd failure 1800 miles later. Would fix for $495.
