Coming to a stop and brake pedal went to floor....my vehicle then rolled into intersection causing an accident when the other vehicle collided with the front of my vehicle. Further investigation found brake line burst. To remedy situation I replaced all brake lines.

Brought Yukon in to koons GMC in manassas, Virginia in 2012 for two recalls which I was told were both done along with getting an estimate for $3300 for largely an intake manifold. I have called GM Corp and been told many times over that past two years as more cars have been added to recall lists that there were no remaining recalls for my vehicle; now GM corporate says the wheel sensor recall (necessary to avoid low speed crashes) was actually never performed and GM corporate cannot explain why I have been told by both dealerships in the DC area and GM corporate over the past two years (exceeding 10 total calls) since that there were no remaining recalls left to perform on this Yukon. Presumably the headrest recall I brought it into koons in manassas, va as a second afterthought to the wheel sensor recall was the only thing they ended up doing other than giving me an estimate for over $3300 for work that has never needed to be done. My unanswered question to GM corporate was "I's this how your going to handle the ignition recalls"" additionally, GM claims to be unable to answer the question of whether my ignition switch is the same in design as any of those that have been recalled. Do americans citizens not have the right to at least that much "proprietary"-protected information from GM" GM corporate's specialist claimed to object to my mentioning that I, too, might record the call. Koons also never noticed that the previous owner had broken out the ABS light because prior to the recall (which should have later tipped me off that they did not actually clean the wheel sensor and check the ABS light since it was not on the $3300 estimate of necessary repairs), because nobody really knew then why the ABS light would stay on. I believe this was a retaliatory act. I mentioned to koons snd GM corporate before service that I was disabled.

I was driving around town when the brakes felt a little soft. The next morning there was a puddle of brake fluid under the vehicle. I put in a half a bottle of brake fluid into the reservoir. I drove to the house and parked it. Several minutes after parking there was the beginning of a puddle of brake fluid. I made several other stops and at each stop brake fluid was beginning to leak when vehicle was turned off. Took vehicle to shop and was told that the brake lines all needed to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2000 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph, the brakes failed to engage when depressed and the brake pedal abnormally traveled to the floor board. The contact mentioned that the ABS system activated independently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was discovered that the brake line was corroded. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 157,500. Updated 02/24/14 the consumer stated the recalls were never done. The recalls were falsely reported as being complete. The front bearing assemblies had to be replaced, at the consumers expense. Updated 02/25/14

Driving on South on route 95 through Connecticut at approximately 65 mph on 17aug12. Had to stop suddenly due to traffic incident ahead. Applied brakes but line burst and peddle went to floor. Car would not stop but fortunately was able to move into breakdown lane to allow longer stopping distance. Narrowly avoided rear ending car in front of me at high speed. Brought vehicle to dealer for repair. They found the left rear brake line had ruptured due to rust. Dealer replaced 40" of brake line. A similar event occurred during may of 2013 on route 3 in Massachusetts. A collision was narrowly avoided.

I was just backing up to hitch a trailer when the brake pedal went to the floor, thankfuly it happened before I hooked the trailer as I would certainly have had an accident towing a trailer with no brakes! I looked under the vehicle and saw it was leaking brake fluid toward the driver side rear door, brake line had burst.

  • miles
When slowing down at an intersection stop light, at the speed of under 10 mph, the ABS brakes suddenly kicked in and pulsated, not allowing the truck to stop. This almost resulted in a rear end collision with a stopped vehicle in front of me. After pulling into a parking lot the same issue happened again, causing me to panic and stump on the brakes hard before running into the parking blocks in front of a business. After taking the vehicle to the mechanics they could not diagnose a problem. Even though there was no ABS warning light or error code, we elected to replace both ABS speed sensors as a precaution. The problem still existed. I decided to have both front and rear brakes including rotors replaced as a precaution. The problem still accures with every slower speed attemp to stop. I am very reluctant to drive the vehicle and when I due, I have to begin my braking well in advance and at a increased distance from where I would like to stop.
