GM RECALL # 05068 FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS RECALL PERTAINS TO CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SUV'S BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 AND FAILING ABS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES TO PULSATE AND TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE RECALL COVERED MOST OF THE NE STATES (SALT BELT) AND WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION. THE ABS LOW SPEED SENSOR'S WOULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP (AS IF SLIPPING). I OWN A 1999 GMC YUKON WITH 70K MILES AND THE ABS SENSORS ARE SHOT. I CALLED GM, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT A LOCAL DEALER, WHEN I DID, THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD TALK TO THE GM REP. FINAL ANSWER FROM GM ...SINCE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THEY WANT $300 TO FIX MY 99 YUKON, THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WOULD FIX FOR FREE IF IT WERE A 1999 SIERRA K1500 TRUCK OR A 2000 YUKON, BOTH VEHICLES USING THE SAME ABS SENSORS. MY 1999 GMC YUKON IS A K1500 (AS STATED ON THE ORIGINAL STICKER) AND THAT VEHICLE IS COVERED BY THE RECALL AS WELL AS THE 2000 YUKON. I HAVE CHECKED AND THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS ARE THE SAME FOR MY 99 YUKON AS THEY ARE FOR THE 99 K1500 AND THE 2000 YUKON. GM DEALER SAID TO ME, "WELL YOU TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY". WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE NAMES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE LOCAL GM REP, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL #71-550013XXX. BOTH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE REFUSED TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNDER THE GM RECALL, STATING THAT SINCE YOUR VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO.

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

Opened Mar 30, 2010 · Closed Jan 5, 2011
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes, Hydraulic; Service Brakes, Hydraulic:power Assist:hydraulic:hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received Defect Petition DP10-003 on March 2, 2010, requesting the investigation of model year (MY) 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4WD pickup trucks for corrosion failures of the vehicle brake lines.DP10-003 was granted and on March 30, 2010, Preliminary Evaluation PE10-010 was opened on more than six million model year 1999 through 2003 light trucks and sport utility vehicles manufactured and sold by General Motors Corporation (GM).On July 2, 2010, ODI received GM's response to an information request, which included GM's assessment of the frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect. GM stated that:(1) the brake system of the subject vehicles is split front/rear and should a brake pipe suddenly fail for any reason, the affected vehicle would be capable of stopping with the pressure supplied by the remaining circuit; (2) the subject vehicles were designed to meet the hydraulic circuit partial failure requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 105 and 135, Light Vehicle Brake Systems; and (3) should a brake fluid leak occur for any reason, the brake system malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) would illuminate and warn the driver before the brake fluid level was low enough to cause a loss of line pressure.ODI's and GM's analysis indicates that 85 percent of the complaints occurred on vehicles used primarily in States that use salt on the roads during Winter months (Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin).Overall the complaint rates per 100,000 vehicles for Salt Belt States is 43.0 and Non-Salt Belt is 3.0.In approximately 25 percent of the complaints the brake pipe failure occurred suddenly, with no warning (i.e., no MIL, Brake Fluid Loss Warning), and resulted in extended stopping distances.In 30 of these the increase in stopping distance that resulted was a factor in the crash and in 10 others the vehicle was intentionally steered off the road or into another lane of travel in order to avoid a crash.This investigation has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis (EA11-001) for subject vehicles sold or currently registered in Salt Belt States to further assess the scope, frequency and safety risks associated with sudden failures of corroded brake pipes that can result in decreased brake effectiveness. ODI will continue to gather information on subject vehicles outside the Salt Belt as well.

THIS INVESTIGATION INVOLVES THE GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION (GM)THROTTLE BODY (TB) UTILIZED IN MODEL YEAR (MY) 1999-2002 SILVERADO, SIERRA, TAHOE, SUBURBAN, AVALANCHE AND YUKON (SUBJECT VEHICLE(S)) WITH 4.8L, 5.3L, AND 6.0L ENGINES. THE TB VALVE MAY INTERMITTENTLY STICK IN A CLOSED POSITION.IN SUCH A SITUATION, AN OPERATOR MAY APPLY ADDITIONAL ACCELERATOR PEDAL FORCE TO INCREASE ENGINE SPEED.THE APPLICATION OF ADDITIONAL ACCELERATOR PEDAL FORCE, TO OPEN A STUCK THROTTLE VALVE, MAY OPEN THE THROTTLE VALVE MORE THAN INTENDED AND, IN TURN, ACCELERATE THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE MORE THAN INTENDED AND REASONABLY EXPECTED BY THE DRIVER.ON AUGUST 1, 2002, THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI), OF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA), OPENED THIS ENGINEERING ANALYSIS.THE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT TWO FACTORS MAY CAUSE THE DEFECT: 1) TB MANUFACTURING PROCESS PROBLEMS; AND 2) ACCUMULATION OF DEPOSITS (A PCV SYSTEM BY-PRODUCT) ON OR AROUND THE TB THROTTLE VALVE AND BORE.ODI CONCLUDES THAT THE TB PERFORMS IN A DEFECTIVE MANNER AFTER ANALYZING GM?S DATA SUBMISSIONS, AND TEST DATA COLLECTED BY THE VEHICLE RESEARCH AND TEST CENTER (VRTC).FIFTY-NINE CRASHES ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF GM?S TB DEFECT.THE MAJORITY OF THE CRASHES INVOLVE A SINGLE VEHICLE, ENGAGING IN A CLOSE QUARTER VEHICLE MANEUVER (OR LOW SPEED), AND CAUSING ONLY MINOR PROPERTY DAMAGE.FOUR OUT OF THE FIFTY-NINE CRASHES INVOLVE INJURY, AND THOSE INJURIES WERE MINOR.ALTHOUGH GM?S TB IS DEFECTIVE, BASED ON THE EVIDENCE GATHERED, ODI HAS FOUND THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FORCE REQUIRED TO OPEN A STUCK THROTTLE VALVE IS NEGLIGIBLE, AND THE THROTTLE VALVE DOES NOT STICK IN THE OPEN POSITION.THEREFORE THIS ENGINEERING ANALYSIS (EA02-015) WILL BE CLOSED AT THIS TIME.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT DOES NOT EXIST.FOR A DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE TB COMPONENT AND TESTING, PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED REPORT.
