Continuous braking problems. I understand normal wear and tear, however I have had to replace my front rotors, calipers, brakes, emergency brake system on several occasions. For the last 5 months my ABS & emergency brake lights come on and off during driving. I have had a gmc dealership (folsom gmc) and les schwab perform diagnostic checks to only tell me that I need to replace brake pads and calipers again due to wear. They have been unable to detect why the two lights come on. Last night on my way home the two lights came on again, this time I noticed a loud motor running, even when my vehicle was turned off the motor noise continued. Once I pulled the ABS fuse out of the control box the motor stopped. I am taking the vehicle into have it serviced again. I would like to have your company perform an investigation on the antilocking system and brake system on these vehicles. In my research online I found others denali owners with the same vehicle brake/antilock system failures. A few of the complaints I found are at "www.allworldauto.com" and "www.lemonauto.com". Thank you for your time.

2001 yukon denali- ABS fails at slow speeds 2001 yukon denali- catalytic converter failure.
I have a 2001 gmc yukon slt, and I have had an ABS problem, although there was not one specific instance, which caused it. I heard a constant running sound, even when the vehicle was not running. Narrowed it down to the ABS, and had to pull the fuse to stop it. Now, my brake & ABS lights constantly illuminated. It had me at a disadvantage. I am a father of 2, and we often transport our parents. Generally do most traveling in the yukon, but now apprehensive about the idea of it. Do not want to subject the family to such. I deploy a lot, and don't want my wife to drive it in this condition. I tried to take it to the gmc dealers awhile back. The dealers will not fix it, just replaced them. Which was around a grand to do. Since there was no recall outside the salt belt states they won't help us. I found someone in the area with the same problem. I researched it online, and it appeared to be an common safety problem. There was a recall, but it did not apply here in fort walton beach, florida. In which were are on the coast subject to salt waters of the gulf coast. I noticed it on recall the federal safety agency campaign id # 05v379000. It affected 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, west virginia, wisconsin and the district of columbia only.... Please extend recall area for other locations that have the same problem. Maybe coastal areas, etc.
I have a yukon denali 2001. I had an accident. The antilock brakes activate at low speeds. I saw there is an investigation # peo5-020 underway since a recall was in effect in canada. The accident was minor and involved no injurty. It was due to increased stopping distance whern approaching my garage, I had the vehicle reaired and am bringing it in to gmc to fix the problem.
Parking brake failure: results from one time driving off with the parking brake on or simply towing a trailer and parking it on a hill and setting the parking brake. The parking brake on these 1999-2002 gmc trucks and suvs are a dangerous. They gives no indication that the parking brake is working because the pedal feels the same, no resistance, when working and when not. Our friends own a 2002 denali and we were at a boat ramp, he backed the denali with the boat on the trailer on the boat ramp, parked it and loaded the boat. Climbed back in to launch it and the truck's transmission had torque locked because the parking brake failed. We had to get our car to tow him slightly forward to get the transmission to release. If the parking pin in the transmission failed due to over exersion from lack of a function parking brake, it could cause serious injury and major property damage. When we tried to fix our parking brake in our denali, we discovered that we would have to replace the hub as well because the pads had destroyed the inside of the hub to the point that it would not work even if the pads were replaced. This is the case in everyone that we know who owns a gm truck.
Consumer noticed that the parking brake was inoperative. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The cause had not been determined. Ak
