2003 GMC Yukon Brakes Problems

I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY GMC YUKON BLEW OUT. THE LINE HAD RUSTED THOROUGH. THIS OCCURRED IN 2012. SINCE THEN AS A GM TECHNICIAN I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF CUSTOMERS, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WITH GM TRUCKS HAVE THEIR BRAKE LINES BLOW OUT FROM RUST. GM HAS A REAL ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE BRAKES LINES ON THEIR TRUCK MODELS TEND TO RUST OUT. GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL BUT OFFERED A NEW BRAKE LINE KIT. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHY? I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR GM CARS. AS FAR AS I KNOW NO ONE HAS DIED AS A RESULT BUT THERE HAS TO HAVE BEEN INJURIES. IS IT NOT YOUR JOB TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE? ONCE AGAIN WHY?

MY BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED OUT AS DESCRIBE IN THE ARTICLE BELOW. COSTING ME OVER 650.00 TO REPAIR. LESS THAN 115K ON MY CAR! NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE LINES BEFORE... I LOST MY BRAKE UN-EXPECTANTLY DURING A RAIN STORM IN COHASSET, MA ON 1/10/2017. LUCKILY I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD COMING TO A STOP SIGN AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED NOR WERE MY 3 KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. I SAW THIS ARTICLE BELOW AND DECIDED TO WRITE YOU. HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/NEWS/CONSUMERS-COMPLAIN-OF-CORRODED-BRAKE-LINES-IN-OLDER-GM-TRUCKS-013014.HTML

A MECHANIC REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE LINES; HOWEVER, 1,000 MILES LATER, THE FRONT BRAKE LINES ALSO FRACTURED. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE RUST AND CORROSION. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR THE FAILURE COULD RECUR. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V045000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WAS TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. GUIDED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. THEY FOUND RUSTED BRAKE LINES AT THE ABS VALVE ALONG WITH A RUSTED BACKING PLATE FOR THE VALVE. IN ORDER TO IMPROVE VEHICLE SAFETY THE LINES WILL ALL BE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY POOR DESIGN SINCE A SINGLE FAILURE SHOULD NOT CAUSE TOTAL FAILURE OF A SUPPOSED DUAL BREAKING SYSTEM.

I WAS TOWING A 17' BOAT AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE YUKON DID NOT SLOW AT ALL. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS COMING AND I ROLLED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, MADE A RIGHT TURN, AND WENT DOWN A STEEPER HILL. PUMPING THE BRAKES AS I WENT HAD NO EFFECT. THE DASH SHOWED A 'SERVICE BRAKE' MESSAGE. I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE AND DOWN-SHIFTED, WHICH SLOWED IT ENOUGH THAT I WAS ABLE TO SWING WIDE INTO THE OPPOSING TRAFFIC LANE AND BARELY MAKE THE TURN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE RIGHT-WHEELS ON A SOFT SHOULDER BEFORE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP. I REFILLED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND HAD MY WIFE PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AS BRAKE FLUID SHOT ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD, LEAKING FROM A RUSTED JOINT WHERE THE STEEL BRAKE LINE JOINED A FLEXIBLE, BRAIDED LINE UNDER THE HOOD. THE BRAKE LINES WERE HORRIBLY RUSTED, UNLIKE ANYTHING I HAD EVER SEEN IN MY 35+ YEARS OF DRIVING AND OWNING VEHICLES (INCLUDING 20 CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS). THIS YUKON HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE LIFE REGISTERED IN VIRGINIA AND HAS LESS THAN 80K MILES ON IT. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THEY ARE LIKE IN NORTHERN STATES. LOOKING ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE NHTSA HAD INVESTIGATED. WHY WAS I NOT WARNED? I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED, AS COULD HAVE ANOTHER MOTORIST OR PEDESTRIAN! WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER (OURISMAN OF ALEXANDRIA, VA), THE SERVICE ADVISOR CLAIMED TO BE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THE GM SERVICE BULLETINS THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED ON IT, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE PRE-BENT LINES AS A DISCOUNTED KIT FROM GM. HE ESTIMATED A FOUR-FIGURE LABOR BILL TO DO THE WORK, SO I AM DOING AS MUCH OF IT AS I CAN MYSELF USING NICKEL-COPPER BRAKE LINE AND A FLARING TOOL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE FROM THIS IF THE NHTSA DOES NOT FORCE GM TO DO A RECALL.

THERE IS A RECALL #05068 THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR, EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE AND BRAKE. (2003 GMC YUKON XL). HOWEVER, GMC CLAIMS MY CAR "ISN'T EFFECTED" AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. MY ISSUES ARE 1. GETTING DANGEROUS, AS THE CAR BOGS AND WON'T ACCELERATE WITHOUT A PERIOD OF HESITATION AND THEN IT GIVES TOO MUCH ACCELERATION WHICH CAN BE BAD IF I'M ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE. ALSO, THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES WHICH IS ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING: 2. MY ABS KICKS IN RANDOMLY, EVEN IF THE PAVEMENT IS TOTALLY DRY AND CLEAR. APPARENTLY, THIS IS CAUSED BY A CORRODED MOUNTING SURFACE FOR THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. THE CORROSION BUILDS UP CAUSING EXCESSIVE GAP BETWEEN MOUNTING SURFACE AND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WHICH CAUSES A LOSS OF WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL. WHEN THE ABS MODULE SEES THE LOSS OF SIGNAL IT THINKS THE VEHICLE IS SLIDING OUT OF CONTROL SO IT WILL ACTIVATE THE TRACTION CONTROL OR ABS. DESCRIPTION FROM RECALL #05068: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT... HAZARD:THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

I HAD A BRAKING PROBLEM MARCH 2015, CORROSION OF THE BRAKE LINES. I HAVE A 2003 YUKON 2500 QUADRASTEER. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN THE BRAKES WENT. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT!!!!! I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL PRACTICALLY TO THE FLOOR, I WAS ABLE TO ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I GOT OUT THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID POURING OUT FROM THE BRAKE LINES TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WHY GM RUNS THE LINES RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE UNDERCARRIAGE IS A MYSTERY TO ME. IT IS JUST GOING TO BE EXPOSED TO SALT! I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND WE USE A LOT OF SALT IN THE WINTER MONTHS. YES THINGS DO RUST, BUT I ALWAYS WASH THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY TRUCK! IT'S A CASE OF POOR ENGINEERING AND IT LEADS TO PREMATURE CORROSION. I AM A MOTHER OF 3 YOUNG CHILDREN AND THANK GOD THEY WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER SON, OUR GRANDSON, HOME FROM SCHOOL IN MY YUKON. AS SHE WAS LEAVING THE CITY LIMITS JUST STARTING TO GET UP TO LEGAL 55 MPH AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE FORTUNATELY SAW A BODY SHOP AND MANAGED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE IN THERE AND DOWN SHIFTED TO STOP. SHE WAS FORTUNATE TO FIND THIS LOCATION. AS YOU LEAVE TOWN THERE IS A LARGE HILL WE ARE THANKFUL THE BRAKES DID NOT FAIL AS SHE WAS GOING DOWN IT. I JUST AM UPSET THERE WAS NO WARNING, AND WE FIND OUT THE WHOLE BRAKE LINE FAILED. IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

2003 GMC YUKON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO INTERMITTENT ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WARNING BELLS STARTED TO SOUND AND THE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT, ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID, AND FOUND IT WAS OK. THE NEXT DAY, HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE PADS AND CHECKED THE SYSTEM. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, WHICH VERIFIED THE ABS HAD COME ON, BUT RESET WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RE-STARED. THE BRAKE SHOP RECOMMENDED THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, IN THEIR OPINION THE ABS MODULE AND ABS PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY EXPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER, WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON, THE ABS WAS INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, IT WOULD COST $125, JUST TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND IF THE MODULE AND PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, IT WOULD COST $ 2,200. THE ABS LIGHT STAYED OUT FOR WEEKS. HOWEVER, IN MARCH 2014, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING HOME THIS MORNING FROM A BALL GAME ON NC BACK ROADS WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN, MY WIFE [XXX] SAID THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BUZZER SOUNDED. UNABLE TO STOP, THEY ROLLED THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND PULLED INTO A CHURCH PARKING LOT. UPON INSPECTION, BRAKE FLUID WAS DRIPPING FROM A RUSTED BRAKE LINE JUST INSIDE THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE CHARLOTTE, NC AREA MOST OF ITS SERVICE LIFE. ANNUAL TRIPS TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN WITH PROPER POST TRIP WASHINGS SHOULD NOT HAVE CREATED THIS AMOUNT OF RUST AND CORROSION ON KEY COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE BRAKE LINES. THIS KNOWN PROBLEM MUST RELATE TO THE INFERIOR QUALITY OF METAL OF GM ALLOWED THE SUPPLIER TO USE. THE NUMEROUS FAILURES I'VE READ ABOUT HAVE NOT BEEN LIMITED TO THE NORTHERN CLIMATES AND CONSEQUENTLY WILL RESULT IN NUMEROUS DEATHS AS THESE VEHICLES AGE FURTHER. ANSWERING THE PROBLEM LAST FALL WITH PRE MADE REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINES FOR CUSTOMERS TO BUY AND HAVE INSTALLED FALLS SHORT OF MEETING GM'S OBLIGATION TO DELIVER SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLES. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED PROACTIVELY BY GM ASAP. SEVERAL YEARS AGO SUBARU PROMPTLY RECALLED THEIR CORRODED BRAKE LINES; WHY HAS GM BEEN GIVEN A PASS?
