2005 GMC Yukon Brakes Problems

“I was pulling up to a stop light, and the brakes went out. I ran into the truck in front of me while going between 20 to 25 MPH. The auto repair shop said my brake line was corroded and it snapped.”

“When I went to pull the Yukon into the driveway, the brake pedal went to the floor and I barely made it into the driveway and stopped. I had the vehicle towed to the GM dealership. I was called within a couple of hours and told that the brake lines had burst and had corrupted all of the rotors and the cost would be over $3k to repair/replace. Note: the rotors were replaced sep 2013 and had less than 1k mileage. I called GM corporate to ask for relief on 10/6/14 and was told I would receive a call within 24 hours by a senior advisor. …”

“I was driving on a divided highway and went to slow down to make a left hand turn and the brakes initially worked but at about 30 MPH there was a total failure and the pedal went all the way to the floor. I had to stand on the pedal, so to speak, to get the 2005 Yukon to stop before hitting the traffic stopped in front of me. I had the truck towed home and upon inspection the break line had failed right below the radiator where it connects to a plastic retainer clip. I was amazed at the fact with only 118,000 miles I had total rust through on brake lines. …”

“The 2005 Yukon brake lines have rusted through, and while driving of all places to the inspection station in upstate ny. While in the shop for repair, it was advised that the aluminum antilock distribution box has major corrosion as well. It needs to be replaced.”

“Brake lines failed while driving through parking lot. The vehicle stopped just short of colliding with other vehicles in the lot. All lines including transmission cooler lines and lines from calipers to brakes needed to be replaced due to excessive corrosion. Updated 4/24/2015”
