#750783August 20, 2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE MAKING A RELATIVELY FAST STOP ON A FAIRLY BUMPY ROAD, BUT WITHOUT SLAMMING ON MY BRAKES, THE TRUCK HAD SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 OR 35MPH FROM APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY DROPPED AND THE BRAKES FAILED MOMENTARILY, AND THEN CAUGHT AGAIN. WHEN WE FINALLY STOPPED, I ENDED UP HALF WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS A RURAL ROAD AND THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC AND CONSEQUENTLY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. IT SIMPLY SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME AND MY WIFE. MY DEALER INDICATES THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, HOWEVER HE STATED THAT THEIR BRAKE TECHNICIAN FIXED A SIMILAR PROBLEM OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY FAILING WHEN ANOTHER OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WAS STOPPING HIS PICKUP TRUCK WHILE DRIVING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. ADDITIONALLY, MY NEIGHBOR WHO DRIVES A 2000 YUKON XL, STATED THAT HE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE OF HIS BRAKES SUDDENLY AND ONLY MOMENTARILY FAILING WHILE STOPPING FROM ABOUT 35MPH WITH SIMILAR RESULTS TO MY EXPERIENCE OF HIM ENDING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY, HE TOO HAD NO TRAFFIC AND CONSEQUENTLY NO ACCIDENT. I KNOW THAT HE ALSO REPORTED THIS TO HIS DEALER WHICH COINCIDENTLY IS BAIRD GM OF RIPON, WISCONSIN.*AK
