The contact complained about a fuel system problem. When putting gas in the vehicle and filling it up the gas spilled out underneath the gas tank. The contact has taken the vehicle to an independent party for service. The contact did not know exactly what the cause of the problem was at this point. Also, ABS system failed. When slowing down or going to stop the ABS is engaged at any speed. The contact called GM, and they said they knew about the problems. The contact took vehicle to the dealer, and had the wheel sensor replaced. That has fixed the problem with the brakes. General Motors was contacted over the problems, they said that vehicle was not included at this time. GM did told the contact that they would give him a coupon for a new 2006 vehicle.

problem #29

Yukon 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
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
