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

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. A LITTLE COMMON SENSE GOES A LONG WAY. *TR

WHEN EXITING MY DRIVEWAY I WENT DOWN THE STREET TO THE STOP SIGN , WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP. IT WAS GOOD THAT I WASN'T GOING FASTER. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK ( YOUKON ) TO THE REPAIR SHOP I EXPLAINED THE ISSUE TO THE REPAIR MAN. I GOT HOME AND HE CALLED ME BACK AND ASKED ME TO RETURN TO THE SHOP TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE TRUCKS PROBLEMS. WHEN RETURNING TO THE SHOP THE TRUCK WAS LIFTED UP AND HE SHOWED ME THE BRAKE LINES AND THE GAS LINES THAT WERE CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . HE ALSO EXPLAINED THE TIME AND LABOR INVOLVED. I WAS SURPRISED OF HOW MUCH LABOR AND TIME WAS INVOLVED TO REPAIR THESE ISSUES . HE SAID THE COST INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR WILL BE ABOUT 2,500. TO 3,000. DOLLARS, THAT IS IF HE DIDN'T COME ACROSS ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT BRAKED SUDDENLY. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL QUICKLY AND FIRMLY TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. A HALF MILE OR SO LATER, AT AN INTERSECTION, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES GRADUALLY, THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, ONLY BARELY STOPPING THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT ENTERED THE INTERSECTION. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME (ABOUT A MILE) SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY AND INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID COATING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE RUST OR CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES WHERE THEY CROSSED THE FRAME NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL AXLE. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS RELATED TO THE ALREADY IN EFFECT RECALL FOR GM RECALL NO. 06083. I WANT TO REQUEST THAT ANOTHER INVESTIGATION BE DONE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MY 2001 GMC YUKON SLE 5.3L V8. THE PROBLEM BEGAN A FEW YEARS BACK IN 2006 AND UNTIL THIS PRESENT TIME, ITS GETTING WORSE AS TIME PASSES BY. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE VERY FIRST TIME I CONTACTED GM AND THEY OBVIOUSLY SAID THAT THEY HAD NO REPORTED INCIDENTS AS THE ONE THAT I WAS DESCRIBING FOR MY VEHICLE.THEN WHEN I SAW THE RECALL ON THE LOCAL NEWS IN 2007 I GAVE THEM A CALL BACK AND AGAIN THEY CLAIMED THAT NO INCIDENTS WERE REPORTED FOR MY SPECIFIC MODEL AND ENGINE, SO THEY BRUSHED ME OFF QUICKLY AS IF I WERE JUST CALLING CAUSE I HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO & WAS JUST LOOKING TO WASTE MY TIME AND THEIRS!. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS OCCUR WHERE THE TRUCK HAS STALL WHILE IN DRIVE AND AT A SPEED BETWEEN 10 -40 MPH ON A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FWY (WHERE YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON TRAFFIC CONGESTION). MY FAMILY MEMBERS AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED WITHOUT INJURY.IN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE I CAME ACROSS MANY GMC OWNER FORUMS WERE COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH MY SAME ENGINE AND MODEL SUV HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR THE REASON AND SOLUTION WHAT CAUSED THAT VEHICLE BEHAVIOR. MY SUV HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH WHICH I COPIED FROM THE RECALL EXPLANATION : "THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION CAN OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY OR FAIL COMPLETELY. IF THE SENSOR OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY, THE SES LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE MAY RUN ROUGH. THE ENGINE MAY STALL, AND IF SO, MAY RE-START IMMEDIATELY OR AFTER A COOL DOWN PERIOD." CONSEQUENCE: "IF THE SENSOR BECOMES COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE, THE ENGINE WILL QUIT RUNNING AND WILL NOT RE-START. EITHER OF THESE FAILURES CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH" INVESTIGATE&HELP CONSUMERS. *TR

PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY UNDER NORMAL, DRY CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED. WE CAME A FEW FEET FROM CRASHING THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR. THIS WAS A RESULT OF THE DRIVER'S REAR BRAKE LINE SPRINGING A LEAK WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE AFFECTED PART IS THE FORMED METAL LINE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE TOP OF THE AXLE. IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKE LINE JUST RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. IT IS LIKELY THAT ALL OTHER BRAKE LINES COULD BE AFFECTED IN THE EXACT SAME MANNER. *TR

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ON MY 2001 YUKON. A SEVERELY CORRODED BRAKE LINE LEADING TO PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BRAKE FAILED. POINT OF FAILURE WAS AT THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RADIATOR. DURING REMOVAL OF THE FAILED LINE FROM IT'S MOUNTING CLIP ON THE VEHICLE FRAME THE BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT BRAKE WAS BUMPED CAUSING IT TO BREAK AS WELL. ON CLOSER INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED TO THE POINT THEY WERE READY TO FAIL AND ALL LINES REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY YUKON IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN I FOUND IT NECESSARY TO ATTEMPT A PANIC STOP. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT SOMTHING GIVE WAY AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ATTEMPTED APPLYING THE BRAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I NURSED THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE JUST BEFORE THE REAR WHEEL. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND THEM TO BE VERY CORRODED AND THE ONE LINE LEADING TO THE REAR BRAKES WAS SPLIT OPEN. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE BRAKE LINE FROM THE ABS UNIT UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT TO THE JUNCTION NEAR THE SPARE WHEEL. I HAVE INSPECTED THE OTHER BRAKE LINES AND FOUND THEY ARE CORRODED ALSO. *JS
