2001 GMC Yukon XL 1500 brakes complaints

Filed Jul 16, 2008 · Brakes · 45,000 miles · VA

Upon applying my brakes at low speeds (under 10mph) on my 2001 yukon xl, there is shuddering from the front and at times the brakes seem to become ineffective. It is as if the ABS is pumping the brakes, but it is occurring on dry pavement. I recently ((7/16/08) brought the vehicle in for service and was informed that one of the ABS sensors needed to be replaced. After being informed of this, I checked the internet and found out there is a recall due to potential corrosion of the ABS sensors but it is effective for only specific states. I live in northern virginia and have driven through the affected states numerous of times during winter where salt, etc. Is used on the roads. In the northern va area, salt is also heavily used. I believe that the recall should be expanded to those state that border the "salt belt" states. This occurrence began around april 2008 and the latest incident was today 7/16/08.
