TL* - THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING HIS 1999 GMC YUKON AND COMING TO A STOP HE COULD HEAR THE ABS ENGAGED. WHILE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE IT CONTINUED TO ROLL A FEW MORE FEET. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS HAPPENED EVERYDAY, AND HE TRIED TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THE ABS. THE ABS PREVENTED HIM FROM COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS FAILURE CAUSED A CRASH. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE IMPACT WAS MINOR AND LITTLE DAMAGE WAS DONE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DIAGNOSTICS SERVICES. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A RECALL BULLETIN NUMBER FROM NHTSA # 05V379000, STATING THAT DEALERSHIP WAS TO REMOVE THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. *AK UPDATED 03/07/07*JB

STARTING IN AUG 2012 I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES AND AS OF TODAY STARTED ON THE SECOND ROUND OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLES, THEY CONTINUE TO POP OUT WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO SOLUTION FROM GMC ON THIS PROBLEM. WHEN YOU SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ON A VEHICLE THE DOOR HANDLES SHOULD NOT FAIL ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WILL BE OUT BIG BUCKS EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS AND THAT IS WRONG. I HAVE THE VEHICLE ONE YEAR AND THIS IS THE FIFTH SET OF DOOR HANDLES I AM HAVING REPLACED. *TR
