NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I GET MY BRAKES FIXED THERE IS ALWAYS THE BREAK AND THE AIR BRAKE LIGHTS THAT APPEAR. I HAVE CHANGED TO SENSORS, FUSES AND STILL IT REMAINS. EVERY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE BRAKE AND AIR BRAKE LIGHTS WILL APPEAR. THAT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. SEEING ANY TYPE OF WARNING LIGHTS DRIVES ME CRAZY IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES THEN THERE SHOULD BE NO WARNINGS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD EXTENDING THE BRAKING DISTANCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LINE DISINTEGRATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.
ON 01/23/2018 I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES WHEN APPLIED HESITATED FOR A FEW THEN FINALLY TOOK HOLD BUT BY THAT TIME IT WAS TO LATE AND I ENDED UP ON SOMEONES LAWN AFTER CRASHING THROUGH THEIR WHITE PICKET FENCE, THEN ROLLING COMPLETELY OVER ON ITS TOP, TOTALLY THE YUKON. MY CONCERN IS THE NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. THANKFULLY, I ONLY RECEIVED MINOR SCRAPES AND BRUISES. PLUS, I AM VERY SORE STILL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD OF BEEN A WORSE CASE, WHERE I GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DEATH BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A WRITTEN PAPER TRAIL PERTAINING TO THESE ISSUES WITH THE YUKON. SPECIFICALLY, THE BRAKES NOT CATCHING IN TIME AND THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE BACK TO THIS MATTER AS SOON AS YOU CAN. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE ACCIDENT MIGHT NOT OF RESULTED IN TOTALING MY VEHICLE IF THE BRAKES WERE WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES IT FELT LIKE THEY WERE CATCHING BUT SEEMED TO TAKE FOREVER TO STOP SOON ENOUGH, ALMOST A HESITATION ON THE BRAKES PART. PLUS, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK EITHER. SO I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN FILE A CLAIM PERTAINING TO TOTALING MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF FAULTY BRAKES AND AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THIS COULD OF BEEN A WORSE CASE! THANK YOU

IN AUG 2005, THE ABS LIGHT ON OUR 2001 GMC YUKON WITH 51K MILES CAME ON AND THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE (THE PUMP) UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHICH REMAINS ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE ABS FUSE MUST BE REMOVED TO SHUT OFF THE PUMP. OUR LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT FOR $1100 ($870 FOR THE ABS MODULE). IN SEP 2009, THE ABS FAILED AGAIN AT 91K MILES. OUR GMC DEALERSHIP HELPED COVER THE COST OF REPAIR BY COVERING THE COST OF THE MODULE. WE HAD TO WAIT 2 MONTHS (NOV 2009) BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THAT THE MODULE WAS BEING REDESIGNED TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. IN OCT 2014, THE ABS FAILED AGAIN AT 138K MILES. OUR GMC DEALERSHIP PUT US IN CONTACT WITH GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH THE HOPE THAT GMC COULD ASSIST IN COVERING THE COST OF REPAIR. AFTER SEVERAL FRUSTRATING PHONE CALLS WITH SUPERVISORS, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOO OLD AND THEREFORE GMC WOULD NOT ASSIST. DURING THESE PHONE CALLS GMC STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE IN "SALT-BELT" STATES BUT NOT CALIFORNIA. OBVIOUSLY THE ABS MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AS A RELATIVE WITH A SIMILAR VEHICLE (CHEVY TAHOE) HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE ABS MODULE. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, WE FOUND A COMPANY THAT STATES THAT THEY CAN REPAIR THE MODULE FOR UNDER $100 AND GUARANTEES THE REPAIR FOR LIFE. IF THEY CAN DO THIS, WHY CAN'T GM MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO THE ABS MODULE AND GIVE CUSTOMERS THE PEACE OF MIND THAT THE VEHICLE WILL BE SAFE. HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA WILL USE THIS AND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND FORCE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ABS MODULE. *TR

BRAKES WERE WEAK, ALMOST TO FLOOR SO THE CAR WAS TOWED HOME. WHILE SLOWLY BACKING THE CAR INTO DRIVEWAY THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. STEPPED ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND INTERMEDIATE CABLE BROKE. THE E-BRAKE CABLE FAILED BECAUSE OF RUST AND THE BRAKE LINES TO THE EBCM WHERE THEY GO OVER FRAME ALL FAILED. THE ONLY PART ON THIS CAR THAT HAS RUSTED BEYOND ANYTHING NORMAL ARE THE BRAKE LINES. UNBELIEVABLY RUSTED! WHEN THE BRAKES (E-BRAKE AND BOTH LINES) ALL FAILED THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF CONTROLLED INTO A TREE. THE REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERED AND I HAD A SORE NECK FOR 5-DAYS. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM TO THIS CAR WHERE SALT IS USED. THE BRAKES STARTED TO GO WEAK (1-LINE MUST HAVE FAILED) AS MY WIFE APPROACHED A TOLL BOOTH, ONLY LUCK PREVENTED A CATASTROPHIC EVENT FROM HAPPENING. I CAN'T BELIEVE WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED OR THE CAR WAS NOT RECALLED! GM AND THE NHTSA SHAME ON YOU. YOU KNEW OF A SAFETY PROBLEM AND HAVE DONE NOTHING. GM STATING THAT YOU WILL STILL HAVE BRAKES IF THE LINE FAILS IS A WEAK ARGUMENT, YOU HAVE TO PRESS MUCH HARDER AFTER THE FIRST LINE GOES AND THE OTHER LINE IS READY TO FAIL. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS, NO BRAKES. PLEASE HAVE A GM EXECUTIVE DRIVE ONE OF THESE DEATH TRAPS AND HIT THE BRAKES HARD. THE LAST THING THAT SHOULD RUST ARE THE BRAKE LINES.

BRAKE LINES FAILED DUE TO RUST WHILE DRIVING ON A BACK ROAD. LUCKY FOR ME I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY YET AND WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. AFTER LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE LINES WERE AT THE POINT WHERE THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
DRIVING VEHICLE AT APPROX 45MPH, CAME TO STOP AT RED LIGHT AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN AND NOTHING. DOWN SHIFTED TRANSMISSION TO SLOW DOWN AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LIFTED THE HOOD NO BRAKE FLUID IN REAR SECTION OF MASTER CYLINDER. NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR ON THE GROUND. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE LINE WAS DRIPPING FLUID. THE BRAKE LINES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE FRAME IS REALLY RUSTED. JUST GOT THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GMC SHOP FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. CAN'T FIGURE WHY THEY DIDN'T NOTICE OR AT LEAST TELL ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM.I CALLED THEM AND ADVISE WHAT ISSUE I WAS HAVING. THEY ADVISED THAT GM WOULD NOT COVE THE ISSUE AND 1300.00 WOULD MAYBE COVER THE LINE REPLACEMENT PLUS. I AM NOT HAPPY. WORKED HARD TO BUY THIS VEHICLE AND NOW THAT I AM RETIRED FROM THE MILITARY I REALLY DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE THE LINES AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE RUSTY FRAME. *TR

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING. BRAKE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. PUMPED BRAKES TO GET SLOWED DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. EXITED VEHICLE ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND FOUND FLUID PUDDLE UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON PUMPING THE BRAKES WHILE STOPPED, I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID SQUIRTING OUT UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE HOME, I HAVE CONFIRMED A SEVERELY CORRODED METAL BRAKE LINE HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKEN OPEN. *TR
GM MECHANIC EXPERIENCED BRAKE LINE FAILURE OF REAR LINE DURING A STATE INSPECTION, AFTER REAR LINE WAS REPAIRED, FRONT BRAKE LINES FAILED ON THE GM MECHANIC DURING A TEST DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ALL BRAKE LINES WERE DETERMINED IN IMMEDIATE NEED OF REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS FRONT CALIBERS.. *TR
ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. DROVE 3 MILES TO A MEETING. WHEN IGNITION TURNED OFF THE LIGHT WENT OUT BUT I COULD HEAR A HUM. UNABLE TO LOCATE SOURCE OF HUM. SPENT 5 HOURS IN MEETING AND HUM WAS STILL PRESENT. CAR STARTED OK BUT ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. LATE IN DAY SO I TOOK TO LOCAL FIRESTONE SERVICE. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE ABS PUMP. IT WAS SO HOT IT BLISTERED MY FINGER WHEN I TOUCHED IT. TAPPED ON PUMP HOUSING TO GET IT TO GO OFF BUT NO SUCCESS. ONLY WAY TO STOP PUMP WAS TO REMOVE FUSE FROM FUSEBLOCK UNDER HOOD. I AM GLAD I DISCOVERED THIS. IF IT HAD BEEN MY WIFE THE CAR MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN PUT BACK IN OUR GARAGE WITHOUT NOTICE OF THE HUM. MAY HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. ARE THERE ANY EXAMPLES OF THIS MODEL, OR OTHER MODELS HAVING SAME OR SIMILAR ABS PUMP AND ABS COMPUTER, CATCHING FIRE? THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CIRCUIT LOGIC. IT SHOULD "FAIL SAFE", I.E. DETECT THIS MALFUNCTION AND DISCONNECT POWER. THE PART HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED; IT HAS JUST BEEN DISABLED BY REMOVING FUSE. *TR

BRAKE LINE JUST STARTED LEAKING WHILE IN THE DRIVE WAY. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. *TR
I HEARD A SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE, THAT SOUNDED LIKE A BRAKE DRAGGING. I REPLACED BRAKES ALL THE WAY AROUND, AND THAT DIDN'T STOP THE NOISE. I THEN REPLACED ALL THE WHEEL BEARINGS, THIS DID NOT HELP EITHER. I TRIED THE U-JOINTS WITH NO LUCK. I WAS TALKING TO THE PERSON THAT I GOT THE VEHICLE FROM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR END HAD BEEN REBUILT TWICE! THIS WAS BEFORE I GOT THE VEHICLE, AND IT ONLY HAD 67000 ON IT WHEN I GOT IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE TALKED TO MANY YUKON OWNERS, AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. *TR
THE BRAKE LINES ARE SO CORRODED THERE ARE HOLES IN THEM AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM. I AM LUCKY THAT NO ONE GOT INJURED. *TR
I APPLIED THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND FELT A POP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR EACH TIME. I LOOKED AROUND THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. I FELT AROUND THE FRAME WHERE THE LEAK WAS AND FELT A VERY CORRODED BRAKE LINE. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY GM TRUCK OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION AND ENGINEERING ANALYSIS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF GM IS GOING TO RECALL THESE TRUCKS FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR
SLOW SPEED STOP APPROACHING A LOCKED GATE. BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE. BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUMPED TWICE WITH THE FINAL APPLICATION LOCKING ONE REAR WHEEL. THE ABOVE VEHICLE STOPPED WITHIN 2 FEET OF STRIKING A METAL SECURITY GATE. BRAKE FLUID WAS OBSERVED DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE COMPARTMENT ON TO THE GROUND. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. MECHANIC FOUND THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE RUST ON ALL METAL BRAKE TUBING. ONE OF THE METAL BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS PUMP COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING LOSS OF ALL BRAKE PRESSURE AND BRAKE FAILURE. ALL METAL BRAKE LINES HAD TO BE REPLACED. BEFORE AND AFTER THE INCIDENT THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS THAT WERE ACTIVATED ON THE DASH. *TT
I OWN A 2001 GMC YUKON AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE ABS MODULE HAS FAILED ON IT. AFTER IT FAILS, THE MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN. NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT HAVE ABS, BUT THE MOTOR HEATS UP. IF YOU DON'T NOTICE IT RIGHT AWAY, IT WILL DRAIN YOUR BATTERY, LEAVE YOU STRANDED, OR WORSE. *TR
