SERVICE BRAKES
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO STOP THE YUKON IT FAILS TO STOP AND THEN ABS KICKS IN CAUSING BRAKE PEDAL TO VIBRATE AND LOSS OF PRESSURE IN BRAKE PEDAL THEN TRUCK DOES NOT STOP IT SLIDES. I HAVE REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER DID NOT HELP, TRUCK NEEDS ALL NEW BRAKE LINES DUE TO RUST. I HAVE QUICKLY MOVE AROUND CARS TO PREVENT A ACCIDENT, DUE TO THIS BRAKE FAILURE. SINCE I AM IN SOUTH FLORIDA GM WON'T FIX THIS KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT BECAUSE SF IS NOT A "SALT BELT" STATE, BUT I LIVE ON THE BEACH AND THE SALT WATER HAS STARTED TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT JUST LIKE THE NORTHERN STATES ON THESE FAULTY BRAKE LINES. THE BREAK LINES ARE COVERED IN RUST AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND GM SHOULD FIX ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS KNOWN DEFECT NOT JUST SOME. THIS 2002 YUKON IS SLE WITH A 5.3L VIN Z. *TR

WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED THEM REPEATEDLY WHICH DID NOT HELP MUCH AT ALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN, MUCH LESS STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. WITH NO CHOICE, I ROUNDED THE TURN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THANKFULLY THE APPROACHING VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO AVOID ME. HAD I ARRIVED AT THE INTERSECTION A FEW SECONDS LATER THE RESULT WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN DIFFERENT. AS THIS OCCURRED LATE AT NIGHT WITH ALMOST NO TRAFFIC, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED WITH HEAVY BRAKE PUMPING. UPON INSPECTION IN MY DRIVEWAY I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT A CORRODED BRAKE LINE THAT LEADS TO THE REAR BRAKES HAD BURST. THE PLACEMENT OF THIS PART ON TOP OF THE FRAME RAIL PREVENTS INSPECTION BY OWNERS. *TR

TODAY MY WIFE TOOK OUR VERY GOOD CONDITION WELL MAINTAINED GARAGE KEPT 2002 GMC YUKON TO DUNKIN DONUTS TO GET COFFEE. SHE WAS STOPPED IN THE DRIVE THRU LINE WHEN SHE HEARD AN AIR SOUND AS HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR, SHE WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME, ABOUT A MILE, BY PUMPING THE BRAKES AND IT WAS EARLY SO NOBODY WAS ON THE ROAD. INDEED THE BRAKE LINE ABOVE THE FUEL TANK WAS BROKEN, I KNOW BECAUSE I DROPPED THE FUEL TANK. WE WERE LUCKY SHE DIDN'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND WE WEREN'T ON VACATION FAR AWAY. I ALSO FLUSH OUT THE BRAKE LINES WITH NEW FLUID EVERY TIME I CHANGE THE BRAKE PADS. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH CARS MUCH OLDER THAN OURS AND NO BRAKE LINE ISSUES. WE ALSO HAD BRAKE LINE ISSUES WITH A 2003 GMC YUKON XL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS SINCE THIS IS NOT NORMAL. AND THIS HAPPENED WHEN SHE WAS STOPPED IN LINE, NOT AFTER A HARD EMERGENCY BRAKING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2002YUKON DENALI WITH 105,000 MILES WE HAD BRAKE FAILURE FOR THE SECOND TIME. WE WERE TOWING OUR 21 FOOT GULF STREAM AMERILITE TRAVEL TRAILER AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US STEPPED ON THEIR BRAKES MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO BEGIN SLOWING DOWN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, WE HAD NO BRAKES. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE NOT KILLED. THIS IS THE SECOND BRAKE LINE RUPTURE WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS EXTEMELY WELL MAINTAINED. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE OUR VEHICLE TOWED TWICE AND REPAIRED. I WILL BE CONTACTING GMC AND ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT. OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN PUT IN DANGER HERE. WHY IS THEIR NOT A RECALL WITH SO MANY POSTINGS OF THE THIS PROBLEM? ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINES THAT WILL NOT RUST. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE PRIOR TO CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE BRAKING FROM A SPEED OF 45 MPH TO STOP FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, THE BRAKES FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE SEVERAL FEET PAST THE STOP LINE. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT RESULTED FROM THIS INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD FAILED AT A 90 DEGREE BEND DUE TO CORROSION. UPON RESEARCH, THE SHOP SAID THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED STATING THAT THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS SUBJECT TO CORROSION AT EVERY POINT WHERE THERE IS A MOUNTING BRACKET ATTACHING IT TO THE VEHICLE. *TR
