“When exiting my driveway I went down the street to the stop sign , when I applied the brake the peddle went to the floor and the truck did not stop. It was good that I wasn't going faster. When I took my truck ( youkon ) to the repair shop I explained the issue to the repair man. I got home and he called me back and asked me to return to the shop to take a look at the trucks problems. When returning to the shop the truck was lifted up and he showed me the brake lines and the gas lines that were corroded and needed to be replaced as soon as possible . …”

The only window that does work is where the motor had been replaced by a previous owner. The consumer's vehicle will not pass the state inspection due to this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10122547, filed 2005-06, 70,000 miles“I was driving on a busy highway in feb of 2002 and it was sleeting, I was using my windshield wipers to clear the window. The right fornt wiper arm came loose as the wiper started the up stroke and then just stayed in the up position, it got tangled up into the left wiper arm and bent the arm to where the wipers could not be used. I took the Yukon into a Gmc dealer who was close by, they refused to work on it since I had not purchased the vehicle there, so I was forced to drive approx. 50 miles to the dealer I bought it from to get it repaired. …”
