WHILE STOPPING AT SLOW SPEED, MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED ON MY 1998 GMC YUKON CAUSING ME TO NARROWLY MISS AN ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM WOULD DO THIS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY WITH NO WARNING. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED - THE CORROSION WAS REMOVED FROM UNDER THE BRAKE SENSORS. MONTHS LATER I SAW GM ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT VEHICLE YEARS WERE FROM 1999-2003 NOT INCLUDING 1998. I CALLED GM AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER MY 1998 UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE PARTS ARE IDENTICAL IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM BETWEEN A 1998 AND 1999. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED ABOUT THREE -FOUR WEEKS AGO THE ABS KICKED IN AT LOW SPEEDS, AND HE HAS NO STOPPING POWER. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONTACT THE BEARING HUBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO HE NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND LIKELY REPLACED. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, BUT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE ABS ACTIVATED WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE WAS VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ABS LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THAT THEY DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM, AND IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS INDICATED ON THE RECALL. *AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE. *JB

I JUST BOUGHT A 1998 YUKON AND DURING INSPECTION ASKED ABOUT MY BRAKE ISSUES. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ABS. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES (GM RE-CALL #05068). DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKING, IT HAS AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE RECALL IS ONLY FOR 1999-2002 VEHICLES. I'M WONDERING WHY THE 1998'S WEREN'T INCLUDED IN THIS RE-CALL AS IT IS APPARENT THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT THIS? *JB
