PROBLEMS WITH 2001 YUKON XL'S ABS EQUIPMENT.*MR THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT DEFECTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKES, HOWEVER THEY FELL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE REPAIRS WERE VERY EXPENSIVE. PLEASE HELP IN COMPENSATING THE CONSUMER FOR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED *CB *JB

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES OF DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS. MOST RECENT FAILURE HAS AFFECTED THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS WHICH ARE NOT KEYED FROM THE OUTSIDE, SO ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IS TO CRAWL OVER SEATS TO UNLOCK. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN SINCE WE HAVE HAD SMALL CHILDREN IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE THAT CAN NOT EXIT THEIR SEATS ON THEIR OWN. THIS COULD INCREASE THE CHANGE OF BODILY INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT AND RESULT IN EXTRA TIME NEEDED TO EXTRICATE PEOPLE FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME BODY STYLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS FIXED ONE OF THE ACTUATORS AND INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES, WHICH MEANS GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THESE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS. *TR
