1997 GMC Yukon

THE STEERING WOULD JERK THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN A TURN CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. STEERING BOX WAS REPLACED BEFORE FINALLY THE EVO SENSOR WAS REPLACED. ABS BRAKES ALSO HAVE NEVER FELT GOOD. THE PEDAL GOES TO LOW BEFORE THE BRAKES SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT SENCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE RETAILER SEEMS NOT VERY CONCERNED WITH MY COMPLAINTS. ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT I AM AN AUTOMOBILE TECHNICIAN THEY FEEL I WILL LET THE PROBLEM GO THEIR REPAIRS HAVED BEEN UNSATISFACTORY FROM THE BEGINING. I HAVE HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PROBLEMS MANY TIMES BEFORE FINALLY THE PREBLEMS ARE FIXED. WITH THE STEERING PROBLEM I HAAD TO CONTACT ANOTHER DEALER TECH I KNEW AND ASK HIM THE PROBLEM WHICH HE KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG IMEDIATELY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE ALL THESE TRUCKS WITH THIS STEERING AND BRAKE PRO

WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65MH CONSUMER HIT BRAKES BECAUSE VEHICLE IN FRONT STOPPED VERY FAST. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES, VEHICLE SWERVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND LOST CONTROL. STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING VERY BADLY. FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. CONTACTED DEALER. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD MOVED UNEXPECTEDLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. *AK

ERRATIC POWER STEENING CONTROL WHILE IN TURNS AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, NOT ALWAYS PRESENT, BUT ABLE TO REPRODUCE WITH PATIENTS OF DEALER ON TEST DRIVE. SINCE NEW DEALER HAS SAID IT WAS TIRE BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT WHICH THEY ATTEMPED TO CORRECT SEVERAL TIME. AFTER ONE OF THESE CORRECTION IN AUG 99, PROBLEM BECAME MORE APPARENT . WIFE IS DRIVER AND I ALWAYS TOOK THEIR WORD FOR CORRECTION UNTIL I INSISTED THERE IS OTHER PROBLEM AND FIND IT. SO FAR THEY HAVE REPLACED STEERING BOX, PUT ON 4 NEW TIRES AND WHEELS AMONG A HOST OF BALANCING/ALIGNMENTS ETC , NO CORRECTIONS AS OF YET. STEERING WHEEL PULLS ERADICTLY/SHUDDERS FEELS GONE AT TIMES. IS INTERM AT TIMES BUT MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED OF LATE. BRAKES; THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OCCASIONS WHERE THE BRAKES LOCK UP WHEN APPLIED HEAVILY, I LEARNED THIS BY ASKING WIFE AND DUPLICATED IT ON NURMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH ERRATIC REACTION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. *AK

WHEN DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 30 MPH AND OVER , THE STEERING RELEASES FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE VEHICLES WANDER ALL OVER THE PLACE . ALSO THE STEERING FEEL LOOSE AT ALL TIMES. ALSO WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKES SOMETIMES THE TRUCK DOESN'T STOP , I ALSO DON'T THINK THE ABS IS WORKING PROPERLY. I TRIED IT IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND I NEVER FELT THE PEDAL SHAKE . I HAD A 1995 YUKON BEFORE AND IT WORKED FINE. 8AK

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ENGAGE AND STOP THE YUKON UNDER SUDDEN STOP SITUATIONS. THE BRAKES DO NOT ENGAGE ADEQUATELY AND THE VEHCILE CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT COULD BE SUMMARIZED AS FLOATING FORWARD FOR AT LEAST 30 FEET WHICH HAS RESULTED IN 2 CRASHES INTO THE REAR OF OTHER VEHICLES. WHEN THE DEALER WAS QUESTIONED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, A SERVICES REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT IT WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH ALL GMC/CHEVROLET SUVS. GMC'S ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EXAMINE IT. I BELIEVE THAT YOUR RECENTLY NEGOTIATED RECALL WITH GM SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 1997 MODELS.
