2002 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Brakes Problems

“I tried to stop and when I applied the brakes the ABS activated without any reason. The roads were clean and dry. There was not any warning indicator for the ABS brakes, I am told there is a recall for this issue but the dealer says mine was already done. Obviously the fix was not effective if I am experiencing the problem now.”

“The brakes on my 2002 Gmc yukon xl seem to fail at low speed. You press on the brake pedal and it goes to the floor and does not stop. We have had the speed senor replaced, recalled part replaced in 2005. The description sounds exactly like what is happening with my truck. Gmc says it will not replace this part for free,since it has been replaced once before. This part is a very serious safety part, I feel Gmc should replace it. Safety first.”

“I have been notified by 2 mechanics that the my brake lines are rusted/corroded and need to be replaced. I have researched the multiple complaints to Gmc regarding this issue. Nhtsa has recommended a recall. Despite Gmc corporate statements that the fix/replacement of brake lines will cost $500 (parts and labor) the Gmc dealer in my area (danvers, ma) has quoted me over $1,200 and claims ignorance to the $500 claim. I believe this repair should be subject to recall and correction by Gmc at no cost to me the owner.”

“When braking, the antilock brakes kick in no matter if needed or not. We have had several close calls on both city streets & highways. The car was already recalled and fixed for front wheel speed sensor corrosion, 05v379000, and the same thing is happening again. The sensor was not replaced, just cleaned and put back in. I don't understand how this fixed the problem when the corrosion can come back and did. It was just 30,000 miles later. We have taken it to a dealer and have called GM. We were told the recall is fixed and it will cost us $423.00 per side to fix plus tax. …”

“This involves the emergency brake that will not hold the vehicle when applied. I had noticed that the emergency brake did not do a very good job holding the vehicle when applied from the time it was new but had not given it much thought since I never used it. Several years later I tried to get it inspected and it failed. I found that the rear emergency brake that ii never use were had worn out shoes and had damaged the drum. I replaced the shoes and one drum and was able to get the brakes to hold when the brake were applied. …”
