NHTSA Complaint #749689 — 1997 GMC YUKON

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WOULD ACTIVATE AT SLOW SPEEDS ON NORMAL SURFACES. DEALER CHECKED VEHICLE OUT AND INDICATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE, AND SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE WITH ABS I ASSUMED THIS WAS NORMAL. OVER THE PAST YEAR THE ABS HAS BEEN ACTIVATING MUCH MORE OFTEN AND NOW THE DEALER SAYS THE HUB ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF $300.00. IN CHECKING RECALL HISTORY, I HAVE FOUND WHERE THE 1998 YUKONS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS HUB ASSEMBLY IN THE SPRING OF 1998 AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER INDICATES THAT MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF OTHER 1997 YUKONS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
