My 2004 yukon has at least three major leaks in the brake lines caused by corrosion. Research found that this defect was identified shortly after the vehicles were sold new but refused to issue recalls. I was in a near accident when my brakes went completely to the floor suddenly. Also the stabilizer system fails without notice and the dash instrument cluster (gas gauge, temp gauge, voltage and oil pressure gauges works on and off.

The speedometer will work sometimes but most of time it wont. Also the other gauges in dash board will quit working. The period of time of it not working has steadily increase. It has caused both my husband tickets or warnings because it does not work. The other gauges ( the oil, temp and RPM )are unreliable. I checked with a mechanic and he says this is common for the model I have. To repair they have to remove the dashboard.

When I start the vehicle and go to the corner store turning the vehicle off, come out of store to restart vehicle it will not start it may take me 10 minutes to 4 hours to get the vehicle started again. Meaning I have been stranded at grocery stores, work, school functions. Attempting to get the vehicle started again I am constantly turning the switch. At this present time I have not drove my truck in almost 5 months. And I have been making truck payments on a vehicle I can't drive.... At this time not sure if it is ignition switch or pass lock I know both parts should be covered because it is a default from the manufacturer.

Reduced power indicator on information center comes on intermittently, when it does, vehicles goes into default mode & can go max 30 MPH (very dangerous, was almost rear ended). Never know when it might happen. You can pull over shut engine off sit for a little while & it will start up & run fine until the next time the reduced power light comes on. Have had it @ several shops & replaced throttle sensor, traced wires, replaced grounds, inspected harness but doesn't seem to help. I see on the online message boards there is a lot of problems that gm can't seem to find a fix for. It is very dangerous, someone is going to get killed.
