THERE IS A RECALL #05068 THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR, EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE AND BRAKE. (2003 GMC YUKON XL). HOWEVER, GMC CLAIMS MY CAR "ISN'T EFFECTED" AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. MY ISSUES ARE 1. GETTING DANGEROUS, AS THE CAR BOGS AND WON'T ACCELERATE WITHOUT A PERIOD OF HESITATION AND THEN IT GIVES TOO MUCH ACCELERATION WHICH CAN BE BAD IF I'M ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE. ALSO, THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES WHICH IS ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING: 2. MY ABS KICKS IN RANDOMLY, EVEN IF THE PAVEMENT IS TOTALLY DRY AND CLEAR. APPARENTLY, THIS IS CAUSED BY A CORRODED MOUNTING SURFACE FOR THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. THE CORROSION BUILDS UP CAUSING EXCESSIVE GAP BETWEEN MOUNTING SURFACE AND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WHICH CAUSES A LOSS OF WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL. WHEN THE ABS MODULE SEES THE LOSS OF SIGNAL IT THINKS THE VEHICLE IS SLIDING OUT OF CONTROL SO IT WILL ACTIVATE THE TRACTION CONTROL OR ABS. DESCRIPTION FROM RECALL #05068: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT... HAZARD:THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
