Tl*the contact owns a 2000 GMC denali. While driving approximately 25 MPH, another vehicle crashed into the driver's side of the contact's vehicle. Her vehicle was completely destroyed and none of the air bags deployed. As a result, two occupants sustained moderate injuries. The contact has pictures of the incident and a police report was filed. The cause of the failure has not been determined. The failure and current mileages were 117,000.
Hit wall at low speed due to anti-lock brake system incorrectly activated. Same condition has since occurred stopping at stop signs. My vehicle is a 2000 yukon denali. It isn't covered in NHTSA action number: pe05020. I believe this is the same issue that caused my accident.
I was slowing down for the vehicle in front of me to turn left and my gas pedal went to the floor. I wound up rearending the vehicle because my vehicle's brakes did not want to engage.
I have just been having problems with this vehicle since I purchased it. When driving it sometimes feels like the truck is fishtailing, going down a straight road. The engine makes a gargling noise while driving and it gets even louder when you turn the vehicle off. The wipers work when and how they want to work; it doesn't matter what speed you put them on. I have not been happy with this vehicle at all, I looked information up on this vehicle before purchasing and it is not like the information stated.
