Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor Problems of GMC Yukon - part 1

Having an ongoing issue while driving. I've ben on the highway in the rain and snow going 65-70 mph as well as dry pavement. All of a sudden my dashboard will light up saying service traction control, brake system, abs , park assist off and check engine lights up and blinks . I will loose my brakes I then have to pump my brakes several times to get to even slow down or stop . It's also happened when I am driving down a residential street. When I pull over turn the truck off and goes back to normal for a short distance. Weather doesn't seem to be a factor or speed. Taken vehicle to dealership and they don't find anything wrong. Had them replace bearings as well as speed sensors and it is still happening. And I had a code come up for cylinder misfire and knock sensor. Then take it garage and nothing is wrong.

There is a recall #05068 that describes exactly what happens while driving my car. It occurs every time I drive my car, every time I accelerate and brake. (2003 GMC Yukon xl). However, GMC claims my car "isn't effected" and they refuse to fix it. My issues are 1. Getting dangerous, as the car bogs and won't accelerate without a period of hesitation and then it gives too much acceleration which can be bad if I'm on a slippery surface. Also, there is a common problem on these vehicles which is another problem I am experiencing: 2. My abs kicks in randomly, even if the pavement is totally dry and clear. Apparently, this is caused by a corroded mounting surface for the front wheel speed sensors. The corrosion builds up causing excessive gap between mounting surface and wheel speed sensor which causes a loss of wheel speed sensor signal. When the abs module sees the loss of signal it thinks the vehicle is sliding out of control so it will activate the traction control or abs. Description from recall #05068: certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles may experience unwanted antilock brake system (abs) activation. This condition is more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas. This recall will be launched in the "salt belt" states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maryland, massachusetts, maine, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont. . . Hazard:this can cause increased stopping distances during low-speed brake applications, which could result in a crash.

As vehicle is slowing to a stop, the abs engages lifts the brake pedal, essentially allowing the vehicle to roll forward, and requiring a quick reaction to strongly depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. This is caused by a faulty and corroded abs speed sensor, which has been recalled on these vehicles from 2002, but the recall does not include the 2001 year. Another known issue is faulty abs modules in these vehicles which turn on the dashboard brake and abs warning lights periodically although there is nothing wrong with the brakes or abs.

When slowing down at an intersection stop light, at the speed of under 10 mph, the abs brakes suddenly kicked in and pulsated, not allowing the truck to stop. This almost resulted in a rear end collision with a stopped vehicle in front of me. After pulling into a parking lot the same issue happened again, causing me to panic and stump on the brakes hard before running into the parking blocks in front of a business. After taking the vehicle to the mechanics they could not diagnose a problem. Even though there was no abs warning light or error code, we elected to replace both abs speed sensors as a precaution. The problem still existed. I decided to have both front and rear brakes including rotors replaced as a precaution. The problem still accures with every slower speed attemp to stop. I am very reluctant to drive the vehicle and when I due, I have to begin my braking well in advance and at a increased distance from where I would like to stop.

Antilock brakes pulse and make activation noise at low speed regardless of road conditions.

The contact owns a 2000 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the abs system activated independently while driving 5 mph, causing an increase in stopping distance and time. The contact had the vehicle serviced under NHTSA campaign I. D. Number: 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock) but the repair did not remedy the issue.

When driving at low speeds (less than 10 miles per hour) or starting from a stop, the traction control will automatically engage when the gas pedal is applied. When the traction control engages, a total loss of input to the engine results and the vehicle does not move (it essentially stalls). I was almost struck in an intersection while waiting to make a left turn on a green light in early December of 2011. I was stopped in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn left. When I attempted to turn left, I gave the gas pedal some input, the traction control engaged, and my vehicle stopped because there was no engine input and was almost hit by an on-coming car. Luckily, this had happened before and I knew to either floor the gas pedal or to let off the gas entirely and then floor it again to get the traction control to disengage and get power to the engine. Another related issue is the abs engaging for no reason. This also happens at low speeds (less than 10 mph). When the abs engages, the vehicle will travel another two to three feet prior to stopping. The abs issue resulted in my hitting a pole in a parking lot. It took several years to finally determine what the issue was and it turns out it was a result of front wheel speed sensor corrosion and an increased air gap between the wheel speed sensor and the reluctor ring due to rust and debris built up on the sensor mounting surface. Gm acknowledged this with a safety recall (#05068c: product safety) for some vehicle model years 1999-2002. This is a serious safety issue and gm fails to recognize that vehicles like mine (a 2003) and even later models have the same problem. What is even more frustrating is that the dealership could not properly diagnose the problem for several years because they could not "replicate the problem . " I would encourage the nhsta to investigate this issue.

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�.

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.

The speed sensor fails at speeds between 6 and 9 mpg; resulting in no or limited ability to brake. Repeated near accidents have occurred in traffic and in parking situations. The vehicle is being repaired at this time at jim murphy pontiac-GMC truck, inc. 3000 walden Ave depew, NY 14043 phone: 716-684-8900 fax: 716-684-9050. I understand gm has recalled practically identical vehicles such as the gm tahoe, suburban, etc. My understanding is that the GMC Yukon denali is virtually the same vehicle as the gm tahoe. I would like to understand why that recall is not applied to the GMC Yukons.

2002 GMC Yukon front wheel assembly had to be replaced. After the recall for the wheel speed sensor was complete the dealer claimed they also had to replace the left hub assembly due to corrosion. The replacement of the hub was not going to be cover under warranty because it had expired.

My 2000 GMC Yukon denali is experiencing problems as described in recall 05068 from GMC. GMC has told me that my vehicle falls under the right time frame but does not fall under the right VIN numbers. I am having the exact same problems! the following is an email that I received from GMC: vehicles of a model year are affected. There is an upcoming recall 05068 front wheel speed sensor- description: abs wheel sensors. General motors will notify all owners of involved vehicles beginning 10/12/2005. Please make sure the local department of motor divisions (dmv) has your current information for mailing purposes in case your vehicle is involved in the recall. Below are some information that may be helpful for the upcoming recall. Description of condition: some of the subject vehicles may experience extended stopping distance associated with unwanted anti-lock brake system (abs) activation during low-speed brake applications (less than 10 mph and greater than 3. 7 mph). This condition does not set any abs codes nor does it illuminate the abs warning lamp. This condition is more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas, based on field report data. Consequence of condition: when the peak-to-peak wheel speed sensor voltage level received at the abs controller is below the minimum specified peak-to-peak level, the abs controller interprets this as a wheel speed that is less than the actual wheel speed. In other words, the abs interprets the wheel as slipping when it is not. If the brakes are applied, an extended stopping distance may be required.

According to gm, my vehicle is not included in recall #05068 front wheel speed sensor corrosion. However, my vehicle most certainly did have this defect, which came close to causing me 2 rear-end collisions. I had the repairs made at a gm dealer and am seeking reimbursement, but have been told I can't be because my VIN is not on the recall. Please help me notify gm that they need to include my vehicle and send me the recall notice.

There is a an ongoing investigation on the issue consumer was experiencing ,NHTSA investigation pe05020. While driving at low speeds under 5 mph abs engaged when applying brakes. The wheel speed sensor improperly responded with pedal depressed and a loss of brakes. Took vehicle to the dealer for repairs and the left front wheel hub bearing assembly was replaced along with the wheel speed sensor. Since this repairs the problem has been corrected. Consumer did contact gm, who noted no recall in the us.

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.
