IT WAS RAINING, I EXITED I95 ON TO RT 321 IN SOUTH CAROLINA, DECELERATING SPEED ABOUT 40 MPH ON EXIT RAMP TO THE RIGHT, WHEN CAR IN FRONT ABRUPTLY APPLIED BRAKES, I DID SAME, AND VEHICLE WENT IN TO SKID. KEPT FOOT ON BRAKES, NO ALB ENGAGEMENT. VEHICLE SLIDE OFF ROAD, AND TIRES HIT GRAVE AND VEHICLE SPUN 180 DEGREES COMIN TO REST ON PRECIPICE OF CLIFF. WE WERE NEARLY KILLED. THE ALB DID NOT ENGAGE. THE DEALER SAID HE "TESTED"... AND SIAD THEY WERE FINE?? HOW DID HE TEST ON DRY PAVEMENT THAT DAY? I HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING BUT LIP SERVICE FROM THE DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THE ALB OF THIS VEHICLE, OR AN INTERMITTENT FLAW.. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED NOT LIVING TO TELL THE STORY ABOUT THIS DESIGN FLAW. GM IS DENYING ANY PROBLEM AND IS OF NO HELP. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A MAJOR ISSUE, POSSIBLY WITH ALL THESE ALB SYSTEMS. I NEED SOME HELP ON GETTING MY CAR RECALLED AND FIXED. I READ YOUR "SALT STATE" RECALL, BUT IT IT MUCH LARGER THAN THAT. IT IS A FLAW WITH ALL THESE VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE I HAVE IS A 2003 YUKON XL

ON FIRST VISIT TO DEALER WAS TOLD THAT SOME OF THEM DO THIS AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ON SECOND VISIT FOR SAME CONCERN THEY PUT A "CONDITIONER" IN THE STEERING GEAR BOX. ON THIRD VISIT I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. THE AVM (AREA VEHICLE MANAGER) DECLINED TO MAKE THE REPAIR. GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE WAS USELESS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR BOX. PROBLEM HAS NOT REOCCURED. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND THAT THE NOISE IS CAUSED BY A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IN THE STEERING GEAR BOX RELIEVING PRESSURE.

CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND PASSENGER VANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, ?PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.? SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION BRAKE HYDRO-BOOST HOUSING RELIEF VALVE BORE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENTLY, THE VALVE O-RING SEAL MAY FRACTURE. STEERING EFFORTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY INCREASED WHILE BRAKING OR PARKING. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, A FRACTURED SEAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THE SAME VEHICLE DECELERATION RATE AS PRIOR TO THE SEAT FRACTURE.
Remedy: DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 18, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339; CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463; OR HUMMER AT 1-866-486-6376.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 214, "SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION." THESE VEHICLES ARE BUILT WITH FOUR WELDS ON THE REAR DOOR UPPER HINGE. ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, ONE OR TWO OF THE WELDS MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AS A RESULT, THE DOOR STRENGTH MAY BE DEGRADED DURING A SIDE IMPACT VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WELDS ON THE LEFT REAR DOOR UPPER HINGE. IF A WELD IS FOUND OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION, A BOLT WILL BE INSTALLED TO SECURE THE HINGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 17, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.
ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, VEHICLES, DURING A 30 DEGREE LEFT ANGLE FRONTAL IMPACT OF SUFFICIENT SEVERITY, A TEAR COULD DEVELOP IN THE MID-FRAME CROSS MEMBER AT ITS ATTACHMENT TO THE LEFT FRAME RAIL. IF THE MID-FRAME CROSS MEMBER TEARS DURING FRONTAL IMPACT AND PRODUCES A SHARP EDGE, CONTACT OF THE SHARP EDGE WITH THE FUEL TANK COULD RESULT IN A PUNCTURE OF THE FUEL TANK AND POSSIBLE FUEL LEAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A FUEL TANK SHIELD. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 20, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020 OR GMC AT 1-800-462-8782.
