AS THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING OFF A PARKING LOT THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER DRIVING HOME USING THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP, I PULLED THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL OFF AND AFTER ADDING MORE BRAKE FLUID SAW THE LEAK AT THE FUEL TANK AREA WILE MY WIFE PUSHED THE PEDAL. ALL THE BRAKE LINES LOOK CORRODED. *TR

IN MY 1999 GMC YUKON DENALI AT A SLOW SPEED WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE ABS PREMATURELY ACTIVATE MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP COMPLETELY. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. PLEASE POST A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SIMILAR VEHICLES BUT NOT THE 1999 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHY? *TR

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WINDOWS, RADIO AND DOOR LOCKS WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS BASED ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS I FOUND BY GOOGLING "PROBLEMS WITH 99 YUKON DENALI". IT SEEMS AS THOUGH REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FIXES THE ISSUE IN SOME CASES BUT MOST HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIX IT. SOME EVEN SAY THEY EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THIS WEEKEND (FRIDAY NIGHT) I STARTED SMELLING A "BURNT WIRE" SMELL. I DROVE TO THE STORE ON SATURDAY MORNING CAME BACK HOME. I WENT TO THE STORE AGAIN SUNDAY MORNING AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPT. AFTER GOING THROUGH MY DOOR AND PULLING OFF THE PANEL, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT I HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE THAT STARTED FROM THE ELECTRIC MIRROR CONTROL. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP! THANKS *TR

I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE 20 WHEN TIRE TREAD/BELT BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIRE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE TIRE ARE NOT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. I AM CAREFUL TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER INFLATION LEVEL OF THE TIRES. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE OR WOULD THE TREAD/BELT WOULD SEPARATE. *TR
