SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING HOME, LEAVING OUR CURRENT LOCALITY THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. WERE ABLE TO PRESS BRAKE TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT HAVING THE VEHICLE STOP. INVESTIGATED THE NEXT DAY (AFTER HAVING TO BORROW A VEHICLE) AND BRAKE LINES ARE FLAKING AND LEAKING FLUID. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP AFTER PUTTING ON "TEMPORARY" BREAK LINE (WHICH WE FOUND OUT WILL NOT WORK ON OUR VEHICLE). HAVING IT REPLACED BUT SHOP CALLED AND CAN NOT DO IT AND WE HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO FIX SINCE THE BODY HAS TO BE TAKEN OFF AND BRAKE LINES REPLACED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS TRAVELING ON SATURDAY MORNING, IN MY DADS 2004 YUKON LUCKILY IT WAS EARLY ENOUGH NOT MUCH TRAFFIC AT THE TIME, IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS NOT DRIVING VERY FAST NORMAL SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY IS 40 MILES PER HOUR ON US11 BECAUSE OF CONGESTION AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS, I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH BECAUSE OF RAIN, ANYWAYS A LIGHT CHANGED AND I HAD TIME TO STOP, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THE LIGHT CAME ON STATING BRAKE FAILURE, FROM THAT POINT I SLOWED DOWN AS SLOW AS I COULD AND TRIED TO TEST THE BRAKES, IT WOULD STOP, BUT NEEDED PLENTY OF DISTANCE, SO I SLOWED FOR A TURN OFF, AND WHEN I GOT HOME, STARTED TO BRAKE BEFORE ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY SO THAT I WOULD NOT HIT THE GARAGE OR ANYTHING ELSE, IN FACT I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY NEAR THE ROAD. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAC, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER I'VE REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, COIL PACK, FULL TUNE UP NOTHING SEEMS TO FIX THE ISSUE AND I SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. ANY INSIGHT ON RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE GLADLY APPRECIATED IT IS ALSO USING MORE OIL THAN USUAL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VEHICLE'S HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES HAVE RAPIDLY CORRODED, TO THE POINT THAT THEY MAY GIVE OUT ANY DAY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED (ALL SERVICE PERFORMED BY A GM DEALER) AND HAS RECEIVED REGULAR UNDERCARRIAGE WASHING. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (EBCM) HAS JUST FAILED; IF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK OCCURS, THERE WILL BE NO WARNING OR INDICATION PRESENTED BY THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. GM HAS STATED THAT ANY REPAIRS FOR THESE SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD CONDITIONS WOULD NEED TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET, WITH AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $2500. A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT SUCH EXHIBIT CORROSION TO THE POINT OF A SAFETY HAZARD. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY 2 MECHANICS THAT THE MY BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED/CORRODED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO GMC REGARDING THIS ISSUE. NHTSA HAS RECOMMENDED A RECALL. DESPITE GMC CORPORATE STATEMENTS THAT THE FIX/REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE LINES WILL COST $500 (PARTS AND LABOR) THE GMC DEALER IN MY AREA (DANVERS, MA) HAS QUOTED ME OVER $1,200 AND CLAIMS IGNORANCE TO THE $500 CLAIM. I BELIEVE THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO RECALL AND CORRECTION BY GMC AT NO COST TO ME THE OWNER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC, I NOTICED MY SPEED WAS 75MPH. SLOWING DOWN TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT I WAS SUDDENLY GETTING PASSED UP BY EVERYONE. IT WASN'T UNTIL I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE WAITING AT A STOPLIGHT I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 10MPH (WHILE STANDING STILL). CHECKING GMC AND CHEVROLET FORUMS ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN. THE READING ON THE SPEEDOMETER WHILE IN PARK NOW VARIES BETWEEN 10-20 MPH, AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW FAST I'M ACTUALLY TRAVELING WHILE DRIVING. I'VE MADE AN APPT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, AND I'M SURE THE REPAIRS WILL BE EXPENSIVE! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN JUNE OF 2010 MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND FIXED 700.00. THEN IN JULY OF 2011 THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AGAIN, SAME THING HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND FIXED AT THE SAME SHOP ANOTHER 700.00. THEN AGAIN IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, TOWED TO SAME SHOP AND SAME PRICE. NOW HERE WE ARE 2014 AND MY FUEL PUMP JUST WENT OUT FOR THE FOURTH TIME. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MY HUB BEARING REPLACED AND MY WHEEL ALMOST FELL OFF. JUST THIS PAST FEBRUARY I HAD A GAS LEAK FROM THE LINE AND A WHOLE TANK OF GAS WAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I'M GLAD I JUST FOUND OUT DUE TO LOOKING ONLINE ABOUT ALL THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. NOW MY QUESTION IS WHO'S GOING TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP THIS TIME AND MAKE SURE I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM ANYMORE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD A PANIC STOP WHILE DRIVING MY SUV, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, OFFERING ALMOST NO BRAKING ABILITY. THIS CAUSED ME TO SHARPLY SWERVE AROUND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, DRIVE THROUGH A RED LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND FIND A SAFE PLACE TO LAND. I HAD MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 9 YEAR OLD SON WITH ME, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 YUKON XL. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN THE ACCELERATE BECAME STUCK AND THE SPEED INCREASED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKES BUT TO NO AVAIL.

IN A HALF MILE, THE VEHICLE CRASHED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE HAD 2 INCIDENTS WITH MY 02 GMC YUKON WHERE THE BRAKE LINES HAVE FAILED DUE TO EARLY AND UNEXPECTED/UNREASONABLE CORROSION WHERE THEY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING ALMOST CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH ABOUT 76,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I APPROACHED THE EXIT RAMP AND THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT THE VEHICLE STOPPING. WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR I DRIFTED PAST THE EXIT AND APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 1 MILE BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH AND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY SEE ON GM VEHICLES. THEY WERE SURPRISED I WAS NOT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I PAID $500 TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT LINES FABRICATED. ABOUT A YEAR LATER WITH ABOUT 85,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN ACROSS A BRIDGE AND ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AND AGAIN THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE FLOOR NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND SHE HELD DOWN THE HORN TO WARN PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER CARS. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED AFTER RUNNING 2 RED LIGHTS. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT ALL THE LINES COMING OUT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER/BOOSTER WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND BRAKE FLUID WAS POURING OUT. AGAIN HAVING TO FABRICATE AND REPLACE ALL THE LINES OUT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EXPENSIVE, THIS TIME COSTING $1,500. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO DO A FULL INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES THAT THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS REQUIRING A RECALL. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CARS, HAVE THE UNDERCARRIAGE CLEANED FREQUENTLY AND ASK MY MECHANIC TO INSPECT EVERYTHING ON THE CAR ON A BI-ANNUAL BASIS AND THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING. I HOPE GM WILL REIMBURSE ALL THOSE LIKE ME WHO SPENT THOUSANDS FIXING THE VEHICLE AFTER A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TURNING INTO A MALL PARKING LOT FROM A MAIN STREET, APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN INTO THE PARKING LOT FOR A VEHICLE TO PASS IN FRONT OF ME. WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING THE BREAK PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP EVEN FROM A SLOW SPEED. LUCKLY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AROUND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE BREAKS SEEMED TO FAIL ABOUT 95%. I PUMPED THE BREAKS A FEW TIME AND GOT INTO THE CLOSEST PARKING SPACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DO TO SUDDEN BREAK FAILURE. THE REPAIR GARAGE CERTIFIED MECHANIC SAID THE BREAK LINE HAD RUSTED THRU AND THE BREAK FLUID WAS RAPIDLY LEAKING. I HAD THE GARAGE REPLACE ALL THE ENTIRE RUSTED BREAK LINES ($646.00) TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY AND AVOID ANOTHER SUDDEN BREAK FAILURE DUE TO RUSTED BREAK LINES. OTHERWISE THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE FOR AND IN EXCELLENT RUNNING CONDITION. MY MECHANIC SAID THEY HAD REPAIRED SEVERAL GMC VEHICLES WITH THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM. I BELIEVE GMC HAS SOLD A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE SAFETY PARTS WHICH HAVE WORN PREMATURELY. *TR
