As I was pulling out of the parking lot of my work, onto a public road, I came to a stop sign. I had brake pedal pressure for about 1 second, then the pedal went to the floor. There was traffic coming from both directions so I became a little nervous. The truck did stop in time though. I knew I had blown a brake line right away. I went back to work and inspected the lines and the rear line had blown apart. This is my second gm vehicle that blew a brake line in the exact same spot on the vehicle. I recently moved to florida, this vehicle has been an ohio vehicle all it life.
1999 GMC Yukon brakes complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 113, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Press brake pedal ,SUV did not stop noted leak under rear driver side above tire.
I went to pull my horse trailer forward to load horses and the brake pedal went to the floor. I was able to turn the vehicle uphill to get it to stop. A neighbor took the protective panel off of the front undercarriage and found brake fluid leaking from the tubing. The truck is scheduled to go to the repair shop tomorrow to fix this.
(rear brake line rupture) my wife was on her way to work when she applied the brakes the brake warning light came on. The pedal became real soft as if the vehicle wasn't going to stop. After returning home, upon investigation the brake master cylinder was almost empty. I found brake fluid coming out of a badly corroded brake line just behind the fuel tank. This could have been a very bad situation. We are the second owners on this vehicle, purchased in 2001. We have always kept it maintained and clean, including car washes after snow storms to remove road salt and sand. This should not be happening on an 11 year old vehicle, thankfully this didn't result in an accident. I have also noticed the fuel lines have corrosion at ever mounting location. So, I guess these are going to fail as well some time in the future.
Brake line failure due to corrosion of the lines,on my 1999 gmc yukon 1500 further inspection the entire undersection badly corroded.

Abs has caused increased stopping distance on several occasions. Both at low speed and high speed. During a stop from 60 MPH to a stopped condition, ABS caused braking to be reduced from about 45 MPH down. Minor rear end collision resulted. On previous occasions, ABS has released braking when vehicle has gone over a bump in the pavement, causing increased stopping distance. This issue appears to be similar to campaign #05v379000. Why has the 99 gmc been excluded from the recall? Dealer has not been contacted - yet.
Brakes make a grinding sound after I just changed them and they are scraping on the rotor and are causing grinding.

Gm recall # 05068 for this safety issue. This recall pertains to certain pickup trucks and SUV's between 1999 and 2002 and failing ABS at slow speeds which causes the brakes to pulsate and to not work correctly. The recall covered most of the ne states (salt belt) and was caused by corrosion. The ABS low speed sensor's would malfunction and cause the ABS to activate and the vehicle would not stop (as if slipping). I own a 1999 gmc yukon with 70k miles and the ABS sensors are shot. I called gm, they told me to contact a local dealer, when I did, the dealer said they would talk to the gm rep. Final answer from gm ...since my VIN was not part of the recall, they will do nothing. They want $300 to fix my 99 yukon, the same problem they would fix for free if it were a 1999 sierra k1500 truck or a 2000 yukon, both vehicles using the same ABS sensors. My 1999 gmc yukon is a k1500 (as stated on the original sticker) and that vehicle is covered by the recall as well as the 2000 yukon. I have checked and the replacement sensors are the same for my 99 yukon as they are for the 99 k1500 and the 2000 yukon. Gm dealer said to me, "well you truck is out of warranty". What does that have to do with a safety recall. I have names from the dealership, the local gm rep, gm customer service call #71-550013xxx. Both gm and the dealership have refused to fix my vehicle under the gm recall, stating that since your VIN is not listed in the recall, there is nothing we can do.
