Filed Jun 15, 2006 · Brakes, Fuel system · NY

1995 yukon fuel and brake lines were diagnosed as having potential rust. *ts a year prior to this incident the brake lines near the master cylinder rusted to the point of failure. The fuel lines on top of the sending unit also rusted to the point of failure. *nm the brakes locked unexpectedly at low speeds without pressure on the brake pedal. It was determined that the right rear lower brake anchor was shearing off the backing plate, going to one side, consequently allowing the brake shoes to engage without brake pressure.

Brakes lock unexpectedly at low speeds. Often without brake pedal pressure, and always without warning. Problem has existed for about six months. Several mechanics (including gmc) have tried to identify the problem. Each had an expensive solution, none of which has worked. This is a very dangerous condition which is destined to cause an accident. There are other complaints of this type (same make model and year) on your website.

Brake lines near the master cylinder rusted to the point of complete brake failure. Luckily, I was in a parking lot when it happened and was able to recover using the emergency brake. I do not drive this vehicle on the beach, nor has it ever been in a flood. Brake lines replaced at high cost.

Dt: the anti-lock brakes pulsated at low speeds. The consumer could feel it in the pedal and could slightly hear it kick in. It did this on dry roads the federal safety agency recall 05v279000 was issued in august 2005. But this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. Went to the dealer and basically said the recall would not go into affect until november 2005. Started noticing this around july 15, 2005, and it did this occasionally.*ak

In august 1997 original manufacture battery leaked acid thus corroding the air bag sensor, positive & negative cables & corroding other metal parts to frame of the yukon. There is now visible rust due to the acid leak. Gm dealer martin gmc replaced the battery under warranty. For the second time on 11/24/99 with the 1yr battery gm replaced leakage occured again. This time my anti-lock brake sensor light came on. Needless to say, I had to pay out of pocket $543.94 for replacement of sensor, new front brakes, & new rotors for a vehicle with only 54,194 miles. Also, gm refused to replace the 1year old battery that was leaking because the car was no longer under manufacture warranty even though the battery had leaked previously under warranty. They wanted me to purchase a batter for $80.00. I refuses & purchased a battery at walmart. This acid problem has caused irreversible damage underneath the hood & it is a recurrent problem. If this is a common problem is there any recourse in getting my money refunded?

Power brake booster failed. The brakes get hard to push that driver is barely able to stop the truck. The power brake booster has been replaced at owner's expense. Please provide any further details.

I have seen the recalls for the light duty SUV and the investigation of the suburbans and I think my yukon has similar problems. Increased stopping distance and soft brake pedal. I don't want to be in an accident to prove it.
