The anti-lock brakes pulsated at low speeds. The consumer could feel it in the pedal and could slightly hear it kick in. It did this on dry roads NHTSA recall 05V279000 was issued in August 2005. But this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. Went to the dealer and basically said the recall would not go into affect until November 2005. Started noticing this around July 15, 2005, and it did this occasionally.

In August 1997 original manufacture battery leaked acid thus corroding the air bag sensor, positive & negative cables & corroding other metal parts to frame of the Yukon. There is now visible rust due to the acid leak. GM dealer martin GMC replaced the battery under warranty. For the second time on 11/24/99 with the 1yr battery GM replaced leakage occured again. This time my anti-lock brake sensor light came on. Needless to say, I had to pay out of pocket $543.94 for replacement of sensor, new front brakes, & new rotors for a vehicle with only 54,194 miles. Also, GM refused to replace the 1year old battery that was leaking because the car was no longer under manufacture warranty even though the battery had leaked previously under warranty. They wanted me to purchase a batter for $80. I refuses & purchased a battery at walmart. This acid problem has caused irreversible damage underneath the hood & it is a recurrent problem. If this is a common problem is there any recourse in getting my money refunded?

I have seen the recalls for the light duty SUV and the investigation of the Suburban and I think my Yukon has similar problems. Increased stopping distance and soft brake pedal. I don't want to be in an accident to prove it.
