There is no warning code for the hydraulic brake booster when it starts to go bad that shows up on the ABS/odb scanner. You will be driving and all of the sudden your steering gets stiff, the brake pedal is hard to press and you can't stop as good as your used to in the vehicle. This issue can cause accidents if someone stops suddenly in front of you.

I bought this SUV from legends auto sale. After I bought it, I notice the engine bay was real rusty like its been in water or driven over lots of water. I didnt get a car fax at time of purchases but did car fax myself , and it appeared that vehicle is from new orleans. With all the dirt and grim coming out of vehicle its diffently from new orleans. So far I replaced new pads and rotors, master cylinder, brake switch, new spark plugs and wires. The problem occurring now is that my trac light and ABS light will come on after half hour of driving and car seizes up and I'm unable to accelerate. I would have to shut off engine and let rest for half hour to an hour before lights goes away and I'm able to move again. I'm not sure but it might be due to it being in the flood thus causing corrosion and rusting in all parts of vehicle. I don't have documents on me at this time as I misplaced it but can get it again and upload image.

The brake tubing mounted along the frame towards the ABS and away from the ABS are very rusted flaking etc. They have not busted jet but could any moment, I'm having them changed. As many people had busted tubing for me it is a safety issue, I'm an mechanical engineer and I understand the defect.

The problem: brakes failed while vehicle was running. After a hard brake at a stoplight and driving briefly, the brake pedal went straight to the floor barely stopping the vehicle. Brakes were extremely mushy to non-existent at times. Repair work: local gmc service department indicated the brake line had rusted out and they replaced it for close to $1,600. Per the invoice repairs included: brake system repair/labor, brake flush kit, pipe kit and fluid. (when asked about brake line issues later, the dealership stated they have never heard of any problems regarding them with gmcs.) how it happened: while driving with my wife and children in the vehicle, I had to break hard when I came around a bend to a red stoplight. Though the brakes worked, they felt like they were giving just a little after I finally came to a stop. We preceded another 15-miles with no incident and pulled into restaurant drive-thru. While sitting in the drive-thru lane with the vehicle in gear and my foot on the brake, all of a sudden my foot went to straight to the floor and the vehicle jumped forward. Thankfully there was enough space between my vehicle and the vehicle in front of me so that I didn' hit them. I immediately shifted it out of gear to stop the vehicle from moving forward. At this time I noticed a warning light had come on indicating to check brakes and that the ABS was off. I tested the vehicle in a nearby empty parking lot to see if it was still drivable and the brakes appeared to have only a little bit of 'stoppage' though the pedal was to the floor. I realized it took 50-100 yards to stop the vehicle with brake fully pressed and no gas when we were going 20-25 m/h.

When driving at low speeds (less than 10 miles per hour) or starting from a stop, the traction control will automatically engage when the gas pedal is applied. When the traction control engages, a total loss of input to the engine results and the vehicle does not move (it essentially stalls). I was almost struck in an intersection while waiting to make a left turn on a green light in early december of 2011. I was stopped in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn left. When I attempted to turn left, I gave the gas pedal some input, the traction control engaged, and my vehicle stopped because there was no engine input and was almost hit by an on-coming car. Luckily, this had happened before and I knew to either floor the gas pedal or to let off the gas entirely and then floor it again to get the traction control to disengage and get power to the engine. Another related issue is the ABS engaging for no reason. This also happens at low speeds (less than 10 MPH). When the ABS engages, the vehicle will travel another two to three feet prior to stopping. The ABS issue resulted in my hitting a pole in a parking lot. It took several years to finally determine what the issue was and it turns out it was a result of front wheel speed sensor corrosion and an increased air gap between the wheel speed sensor and the reluctor ring due to rust and debris built up on the sensor mounting surface. Gm acknowledged this with a safety recall (#05068c: product safety) for some vehicle model years 1999-2002. This is a serious safety issue and gm fails to recognize that vehicles like mine (a 2003) and even later models have the same problem. What is even more frustrating is that the dealership could not properly diagnose the problem for several years because they could not "replicate the problem ." I would encourage the nhsta to investigate this issue.

When attempting to brake to a normal stop at an intersection after exiting I-10 east at pascagoula, ms, the brake pedal went almost to the floor, the brake failure and ABS brake failure alarms came on both audibly and visually. Upon releasing and reapplying the brakes, I found I had sufficient brake function to stop from the relatively low speed in a longer than normal but reasonable distance. I then pulled into the nearest parking lot and started searching the yellow pages for the nearest gmc or chevrolet dealer as I was 160 mi from home and needed immediate repair. The dealership found that the brake lines were all severely corroded and that one or both of the lines going to the master cylinder had started leaking. They replaced the lines and attempted to bleed the brakes but they were not totally successful due to a combination of the sophistocation of the ABS system and the inexperience of the mechanic on duty at the time. After I returned home, I was able to find a more competent repair facility at 47,780 miles. They confirmed the severe corrosion of the entire brake line system, including the brake hoses and calipers. They replaced an additional left front brake hose and properly bled the brakes to restore total function. This held until a couple of months ago when I noticed fluid loss from the brake reservoir starting to accelerate. It took two months to find a shop that would do the work, but I now have an appointment this week to have an independent shop in baton rouge to replace all brake lines, hoses, etc as needed. When I had searched the web for recalls, etc, I noticed that the federal safety agency was studying this same issue, so that is why I'm filing this claim. This vehicle was sold and operated in new jersey for 36,000 miles until april 08 and has been in louisiana since then with approximately 85000 total miles. Let me know if you need any further information.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 gmc yukon denali xl. When starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the computer was reset. Approximately one week later, the check engine light re-illuminated and the dealer informed the contact to continue driving the vehicle and the light would shut off. Approximately 30 miles later, the check engine light shut off. Three months later when starting the vehicle, the traction control, ABS, brake and check engine warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. Within minutes, the ABS, traction control and brake warning lights shut off and the vehicle would not shift out of first gear. The contact shut off the engine and when restarting, the vehicle resumed normal operation but the check engine light was still illuminating. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and was not serviced. The failure continued to recur intermittently. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer approximately eight times with no resolution. The failure mileage was 14,000 and the current mileage was 59,778.

Intermittently, when my 2006 gmc yukon denali xl is at a stop light or sign and I am driving less than 10mph and I go to accelerate (not spinning the tires and not on wet or slippery surfaces) the "traction active" message displays and I lose all power for a couple of seconds. This many times has left me in the middle of an intersection with on-coming traffic. I have googled this traction active and there are many articles from other yukon owners stating they have the exact same issue that I am having. I printed off 9 pages and took to my dealer/service department (simmons rockwell in bath, ny) and after looking at the vehicle, they said there was nothing wrong with it. I even supplied them with an ABS recall document id # 1819672 of which the subject is 'product safety ' front wheel speed sensor corrosion #05068b. These vehicles may have a condition permitting corrosion to occur between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor. If the brakes are applied while the vehicle is traveling at a speed of greater than 3.7 MPH but less than 10 MPH, the corrosion may cause an unwanted anti-lock brake system activation. If this condition occurred where stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur.' my dealer said the computer didn't show any issues, but as soon as I drove home it happened again. I don't think my dealer even looked at the documents I provided to them to help them diagnose the issue. This is a major safety concern and I wonder how many other people with gmc yukons are having the same issue and have just not done anything about it.
