Brakes pull hard to left. Salesman said it would "go away" after 1000 miles. It didn't. Had serviced. Still didn't fix. Made it worse. Front break pads are wearing also. Your database said the same/sinilar problem exists with suburban. No mention of yukon.
1999 GMC Yukon brakes complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 113 of 113, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Owner applied brakes and the vehicle kept going and hit another vehicle. Upon impact, neither driver's side nor passenger's side airbags deployed. Dealer has seen vehicle.
Vehicle experiencing extended stopping distance when braking. Nlm
While in the driveway and going forward noticed that when applying brakes steering wheel jerked to the left and heard a noise. Contacted dealet who scheduled an appointment for vehicle to be serviced. Presently, when driving vehicle and applying brakes, vehicle jerks to left. Driver has to hold the steering wheel tight or else it will jump out of his hand.
Abs locked up while avoiding hitting a deer. Although I stomped/stayed and steered to the left, the vehicle proceeded forward, sliding into a hill and gently rolling over onto driver side. Tires tracks on dirt road show that tires were turned and locked - pushing the dirt and sliding, whereas they should've pulsed. Had the ABS worked I'm sure accident would've been avoided.
When applying the brakes in emergency stopping the pedal nearly traveled to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Please give any further details.
The front brakes would overheat & become sluggish. Also, vehicle's would stall out after being idled or stopped. Taking vehicle to dealer.
Vehicle was cut off by another vehicle. Had to apply brakes (ABS) quickly, which failed to work. Vehicle then dove into concrete cover. Upon impact, the dual air bags failed to deploy. The seat belt jerked hard on driver, causing bruises. Gmc file number 99-153-17801.
All four front brake pads was completely worn and damaged. The front rotors needed to be replaced and vehicle was under warranty but gmc insist that brakes were not part of warranty even though when I took vehicle into gmc dealership for inspection gmc dealer informed me that it was a known fact at gmc that the original brakes on the yukon only lasted 10,000 to 17,000 miles. This information is not known to the consumer even though it is widely documented within gmc. This is a known hazard that should be disclosed and fixed via a vehicle recall by gmc. Instead gmc puts the expense of the repair on the consumer who is unfairly, and unreasonable caught off guards paying upwards of $35k for a new 1999 vehicle unaware that they will need to spend additional monies to replace the brakes every 10,000-17,000 miles. The dealer told me that the squeaking of my brakes is the only warning sign the vehicle gives the unsuspecting owner that the brakes have deteriorated. This condition is a safety hazard that will endanger lives and gmc should stand behind their vehicles and be held accountable for the brake repairs not the unsuspecting consumer who bought the vehicle in good faith and is now "stiffed with a bill" for costly repairs on a new vehicle 1999 that has by all standards has low mileage.
Dealer stated master cylinder was defective - master cylinder replaced.
One of the four front brake pads was completely disintigrated and damaged. The front rotors needing to be replaced. Gmc service center claims that the brakes are designed to break down within 20000 miles and this is normal. The brake pad failed completely and the front brakes would not operate properly or stop the vehicle. After lengthy discussion and many repeat calls the gmc representative went by the dealership and decided that it was indeed a faulty part. The claim by the service people was that gmc has changed out the brake pads to a softer compound and they will not last more than 20-25000 miles. The immediateness of the failure ( ie. The wear indicators did not work properly) may have been more dangerous if we would have been in a heavy traffic area.
No summary listed for this vehicle.
Master cylinder leaked all the brake fluid causing the pedal to go to the floor and the brakes to completely fail.
