2003 GMC Yukon XL 1500 brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Approaching a traffic light at 35 MPH, without warning the brake pedal went to the floor. I could not slow the car down very much and went through a very yellow light. Fortunately the car waiting at the light had not entered the intersection. The a brake line routed above the frame blew apart losing brake fluid every time I pumped the brakes. No pressure to operate the rear brakes. The break occurred at a rusted location.

I've come across several others with the same issue. Most of which have taken the issue back to gm dealers, who get no support for the problem from the home office. I believe this could be a very dangerous issue. The issue itself is the truck kicks into "reduced engine power" mode and then it does not go any faster than idle which means it all of the sudden reduces the speed to 5 MPH maximum as well as the power steering goes out and the ABS brakes. That is very dangerous if you are on the highway. People have been troubleshooting the issue with no solid fixes from what I can find. I believe gm should come up with a fix so that isn't a dangerous hazard to consumers and owners of what looks like there 2003 model years, it seems to be mostly there 2003 model years. Gm doesn't seem to want to recognize this as an issue. Please help us consumers out, we would just like this problem solved. Thank you very much.
I was backing the vehicle into the garage. While maneuvering back and forth I step on the brake petal to shift back to forward. The vehicle stopped then the petal went to the floor board abruptly. The vehicle moved and stuck the house. The rear brake line had split open at the ABS braking valve. All of the brake lines at the valve were severely rotted. Had to replace all the steel lines to make the vehicle safe.
Wife was driving truck at approx 30 MPH when dic illuminated with service brake system message. She then pressed the pedal and it went to the floor. She was able to maneuver the vehicle which would not stop from hitting anything/anyone. Only after pumping the pedal did the truck stop. Upon inspection the brake lines have rotted/corroded along the drivers side frame rail. If this would have happened at highway speeds, someone could have been killed. The vehicle is parked now, and has not been repaired as of yet.
2003 gmc yukon xl. Truck shut off at 35 to 40 mileages an hour, brake light, ABS and 4 wheel drive service came on the dash board. Its really dangerous due to I wasn't able to control the vehicle. It was very scary. I could it kill someone, fortunately no cars or people around me. I took it to a mechanic, so I drive it one more time. But it did the same thing all over again. I'm planning on towing it to the dealership. I hope hey can help me figure out what's wrong with it.
Had my truck inspected with 16,700 miles on it. Was told it needed to have the rear rotors turned or replaced. The mechanic said gm had a problem with bad metal on a few models that corroded prematurely. The repair is not covered by any warranty. My truck is a03 yukon xl only driven on some weekends and never been in any type of corrosive environment.
