Brake Disc Pads problems of the 1999 GMC Yukon

Had taken vehicle to dealer for brake service on front disc brakes due to wear on disc. Work after 15000 miles had to be performed again due to disk wearing out. Consumer believed that brakes were not heavy enough for vehicle. Disc warped causing vibrations and brake failure. The disc was turned a t 15k miles and was replaced at 28k. Transmission does not hold on hills. Front end was leaking due to front pinion seal failure . .

Basically consumer was having a problem with abs braking system. When applying brake pedal, pedal stuck and ruined rotors. Also, air conditioning went out three times due to a hole inside of vent area. Check engine light came on due to faulty harness. Transmission slips on acceleration. The engine runs rough at idle. Button on left front seat rattles. Right front outer brake pad was worn. Vehicle pulls left when applying brake.

Complained to dealer of soft brakes! dealer replaced brake pads which are still available for inspection. No wear or chatter problems. Brakes are so soft that they are dangerous. Dealer has been oblivious to complaints. All are like this!!!!!!!.

All four front brake pads was completely worn and damaged. The front rotors needed to be replaced and vehicle was under warranty but GMC insist that brakes were not part of warranty even though when I took vehicle into GMC dealership for inspection GMC dealer informed me that it was a known fact at GMC that the original brakes on the Yukon only lasted 10,000 to 17,000 miles. This information is not known to the consumer even though it is widely documented within GMC. This is a known hazard that should be disclosed and fixed via a vehicle recall by GMC. Instead GMC puts the expense of the repair on the consumer who is unfairly, and unreasonable caught off guards paying upwards of $35k for a new 1999 vehicle unaware that they will need to spend additional monies to replace the brakes every 10,000-17,000 miles. The dealer told me that the squeaking of my brakes is the only warning sign the vehicle gives the unsuspecting owner that the brakes have deteriorated. This condition is a safety hazard that will endanger lives and GMC should stand behind their vehicles and be held accountable for the brake repairs not the unsuspecting consumer who bought the vehicle in good faith and is now "stiffed with a bill" for costly repairs on a new vehicle 1999 that has by all standards has low mileage.

One of the four front brake pads was completely disintigrated and damaged. The front rotors needing to be replaced. GMC service center claims that the brakes are designed to break down within 20000 miles and this is normal. The brake pad failed completely and the front brakes would not operate properly or stop the vehicle. After lengthy discussion and many repeat calls the GMC representative went by the dealership and decided that it was indeed a faulty part. The claim by the service people was that GMC has changed out the brake pads to a softer compound and they will not last more than 20-25000 miles. The immediateness of the failure ( ie. The wear indicators did not work properly) may have been more dangerous if we would have been in a heavy traffic area.
