#540234August 22, 1998
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
NO BRAKING ACTION IS EXPERIENCED FOR OVER 1 SECOND AFTER EMERGENCY HARD BRAKING. TRY BRAKES HARD, WITH FULL BODY WEIGHT, WHEN MOVING 3 MPH IN SIMULATED EMERGENCY AND THEN LETTING OF--THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHOW DOWN. I HAD A ACCIDENT LAST YEAR IN WHICH A ADDITIONAL 3-5' OF STOPPING DISTANCE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE ACCIDENT. I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT LAST WEEK BY SWERVING AFTER AN ELDERLY LADY ROLLED IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I WAS TRAVELING 25MPH. I AVOIDED IT BY SWERING, THE BRAKES DID NOT START SLOWING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT WAS TO LATE. I HAVE DEMONSTRATED THIS SAME PROBLEM IN A FRIENDS YUKON ALSO. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
