Severe brake line corrosion and corrosion at wheel speed sensors causes ABS to activate at low speeds. I had 2 near miss crashes and then car would not stop and I hit a fence in my yard yesterday. I have 4 other vehicles , a dodge, bmw, and 2 honda, all older than this one, and do not have the. Corrosion on the brake lines. There is an issue with the material used in the gmc brake lines that causes it to severely corrode. Malfunction occurs intermittently.

What owners say
Front brake calipers sticking causing premature wear out of pads and driver side rotor at ~11900 miles. After first repair, ~900 miles and three weeks later, while driving down a snow covered city hill ABS was engaged for a short period of time and then dash displayed a "brake failure" warning. After the message the front brakes locked up completely, causing loss of control of the vehicle and induced a slide of over 1000ft down the hill. Once the vehicle finally came to a stop, a loud sound was coming from the under carriage. Powering down the vehicle did not stop the sound. Restart of the vehicle displayed "service stabilitrack" and "service trailer brake" warnings. The ABS, traction control slippage, and brake lights also all stayed illuminated. Vehicle had to be towed to dealer as it was unsafe to drive. Upon inspection at gmc dealer they reported the electronic brake control module (ebcm) was shorted out internally and second front rotor was also scored. They replaced the ebcm and rotor under warranty. I'm told the caliper sticking issue is common, and this is not the first ebcm they have replaced. In summary, damage to rotors and pads is very dangerous. As the vehicle only has ~12000 miles no one would expect this type of wear. The failure of the ABS system nearly caused an accident that could have been fatal as the vehicle was descending a hill and at the very time the ABS was needed it caused lock up of the font wheels inducing a slide and loss of ability to steer.
Having low speed (under 8mph) ABS activation regardless of weather/road conditions. Basically the same issue as the federal safety agency campaign id number : 05v379000 but apparently my VIN is not covered, I live in illinois.
The plastic dashboard structure of the front dash (ABS plastic) is cracking and separating spontaneously. Large crack developed in from of the driver and is expanding with multiple offshoots causing the dash structure to split in two and is in danger of fragmenting. Crack occurred while vehicle was stationary and is growing each day.
2007 gmc yukon denali. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle brake system and engine issues. *smd the consumer stated he was attempting to start. However the engine started to surge and he was unable to stop. He crashed into the proceeding vehicle. The consumer spoke to two mechanics who informed him, it was an ongoing problem and there was no remedy to prevent it from happening. The problem was caused by the triggering of the ABS by deterioration of the front wheel bearing.
Low speed activation of ABS brakes, on dry pavement, extending the stopping distance to an unanticipated length. Although a collision did not occur, the problem is on going. This sounds like the same circumstances which are included in the manufacturer's recall 05v379000. Even though we are not located in one of the 14 states included in the recall, our state does and has used salt and other corrosive substances to clear roadways of ice and snow for many years.
Brakes failed to stop properly, surging/intermittent pulsing and strange sounds. I thought this was a normal function for ABS brakes. I tolerated and drove carefully for years. Now I find this is a symptom of a gmc recall problem 05v‑379. Upon contacting gmc they say their computers need updating and it "may" be in for recall but the gmc does not have the correct parts now. Sounds like a major problem. I am worried about total failure and am registering a complaint. They said that I could get it fixed now and then they "may" reimburse me later. I called the gmc number on their recall site, the site said my number "may" qualify for recall. I am confused and frustrated now that I know this is a big problem for other gmc products and can't get fixed.
The vehicle display indicates "service stability" and the vehicles ABS system begins to grab intermittently causing the vehicle to shake and lose speed drastically. Once pulled off the road if the vehicle is shut off and allowed to sit for a few seconds and restarted it will operate properly again. This incident happened approximately once in june, twice in july, and several times now in august. I thought that maybe it was fluke issue that could be explained by weather as we had exceptionally hot summer thus far. However it is to the point now where I have to take the vehicle into a repair shop to avoid having my wife in an accident.

In my 1999 gmc yukon denali at a slow speed while trying to come to a complete stop the ABS prematurely activate making it nearly impossible to stop completely. I have read many complaints about the same problem with the same vehicle and still nothing has been done about it. Please post a recall for this specific vehicle. There are recalls for similar vehicles but not the 1999 gmc yukon denali. Why?
