Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The first time the ABS ebcu failed we had only owned the car a few years. We figured out something was wrong by the continuous growling buzz under the vehicle. We had to full the fuse to disconnect the unit to prevent it from running down the battery while we tried to learn exactly what was wrong. ----------- on the good side, the car runs fine without it. On the bad side, ebcu replacement is a ridiculously expensive repair. …”

“Antilock brakes slip at low speads and fail to stop vehicle. Both my wife and I have had incidences in recent weeks where we needed to release the pedal and reset stopping just barely in time before a collision. We plan on bring the car into Gmc this week. No indicator is illuminated. Our complaint sounds very much like NHTSA action number pe05020 opened on 4-28-05.”

NHTSA complaint #10125745, filed 2005-06, 89,530 miles

“1. During a family vacation to florida, my braking system started to fail at slow speeds normally between 5 and 10mph. The brake pedal would become stiff and the system would make noise like the ABS was being activated. 2. Being a family vehicle, I had the repair done immediately, the technicians in florida were not familiar with my symptom. At first they replaced the master cylinder but this did not solve the problem. 3. …”

“Abs sensor went bad in front passenger side wheel bearing assembly. Abs would go off on dry roads just before vehicle stopped. Sometimes this caused our vehicle to take longer to stop. We had the whole wheel bearing assembly replaced by a non dealer garage to the tune of $382.47. Now one year later the problem is back. I think GM has a big problem here and should recall all these. Our 2000 Gmc Yukon Xl only has 50,000 miles on it.”

NHTSA complaint #10127095, filed 2005-06, 40,000 miles

“I filed a complaint with the NHTSA in 2005 for my anti lock brakes activating every time I slow down to stop. Gmc sent me a recall notice in 2005 and I brought my Yukon Xl in to fix it . They fixed it ,but now it is doing it again .”
