Several parts have been changed on this by professionals and they can’t figure out why this is happening. I don’t have my full hp.

During standard braking operations the vehicle (not a hard emergency situation) on dry ground the vehicle seems to activate the abs system or something similar which makes the braking effort non standard and increases stopping distance. The issue has occurred occasionally for over a year but is becoming more frequent. It has occurred at both highway speeds of 55 mph and almost stopped during parking activities of 2mph.

In my experience of transmission failure with my 16’ GMC YUKON, there was no warning. I had not experienced any issues with the slipping or jerking feel when accelerating or braking as described in the class action law suit. My vehicle had 105k miles, I took it in for regular maintenance including having the transmission flushed as I was told to do so for preventative maintenance. The transmission failed when I was traveling on the interstate with my family and I came upon some traffic so I applied the brake and the whole vehicle bucked and jerked as it shifted into down gear. I was traveling at 30-35 mph in the traffic and the whole time I felt a slipping motion in the car. I made it to a gas station, refueled, and tried to restart my journey. As I leery the gas station accelerating to get back on the interstate, the vehicle would not accelerate above 35 mph and the RPMs we’re to the max. At this point, my vehicle was in drivable. No prior warning, no issues that had been occurring over time, this all happened the same day. I towed my vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer where the problem was identified as a failed transmission in need of replacement and failed ABS braking system. The cost came at $6800.

While exiting the ohio turnpike, my brake pedal began to stop depressing completely- to the point where I couldn't push down at all. It felt like an over-pumped keg. As I continued my exit toward the toll booth, it seemed that the ABS were engaging, but I wasn't in an emergency braking situation. The rest of my journey home was uneventful, until I arrived home. I pulled into my garage, and attempted to back out so I check under the vehicle to make sure there wasn't anything leaking. As I backed out, my brakes would not engage properly again and my car rolled back down my drive way. The car stopped and I parked it where it was. Later in the day, I was able to pull the car into my garage without incident. I took the car to chesrown gmc (the dealership where I purchased the vehicle). They advised they had never heard of such a situation and had me being vehicle to them. I couldn't replicate the issue with them, but left the car with them so they could check it out for issues. They replaced the the brake vacuum pump. Today (7/31/17), the brakes started to behave in the same manner as when they failed on 7/16/17.
