Antilock brakes slip at low speads and fail to stop vehicle. Both my wife and I have had incidences in recent weeks where we needed to release the pedal and reset stopping just barely in time before a collision. We plan on bring the car into GMC this week. No indicator is illuminated. Our complaint sounds very much like NHTSA action number pe05020 opened on 4-28-05.

At slow braking speeds {at 5 mph} the abs brakes go off every time you stop. When coasting through a parking lot at 5 mph, when the brakes go off they lock up and they do not let go. When they lock up, and your cannot stop or control the braking, you run into the cars parked in front of me. My wife will not drive this vehichle any more because she cannot control the stopping. I removed the fuses that control the abs braking so that I can control my braking.

My GMC Yukon xl has braking and fuel system problems, I have had 1 accident because of the Yukons brakes deactivating while hitting a small bump on the street while trying to avoid the accident. I have contacted GMC and all they said is they would offer me a 1,000 rebate on the next purchase of another vehicle, although they advertised this defective product on ("cnn") along with the other defects. There has been other hidden recalls on this vehicle and the manufacturer did not properly tell or notify me.

My anti lock brakes activate at about 5 mph continually . I hit a fence and decided to pull out the anti lock fuse which also disabled my cruise control.

On my 2000 GMC Yukon xl, a computer module for the antilock brake system is defective and goes out causing a small electric motor to stay on running the battery down. The fuse for the anti-lock braking system must be removed, thus disabling the anti-lock braking system to keep the battery from dying. This has already happened twice on my vehicle and also to many others with 1999-2002 Yukons. GMC knows of the problem but refuses to correct it.

Abs system fires at low speeds for no reason (dry pavement). Vehicle stopping distance appears increased. Gm has recall # 04094 for this issue but it is localized to certain areas in canada only.

Anti-lock brakes start activating at slow speeds. Reported to dealer who told me it is a known problem and is expensive to fix. Has not caused a crash or injury yet.

About 6 months ago my abs system started to engage on dry pavement. While applying the brake the abs would engage and the pedal would go to the floor, increasing braking distance. In one instance my wife was parking and the abs engaged and the Yukon ran into the concrete parking block because it wouldn't stop. The abs usually engages in the last 5 to 20 foot of braking and at slow speeds. This problem is intermediate. I have taken it to a dealer and private shops and no one can find the problem.

While driving the vehicle at 25 mph the anti lock brakes would not lock. The consumer stated that the brakes caused extended stopping distance. The consumer has made contact with the dealer.

Owner applied the brakes and brake pedal went to the floor. Vehicle was not stopping upon brake application. This caused vehicle to continue forward into intersection. Driver made an emergency right turn which then resulted in the vehicle sliding and then flipping over. Please describe details.

While braking lightly at 30 mph vehicle brakes locked up, causing vehicle to fish-tail and become uncontrollable. Brakes did not return to normal, they continued to lock the wheels and the vehicle crashed into a pole flipped over, and roll approcimately 3 times.

When applying brakes vehicle has a winding noise. Also, when braking vehicle will jerk. And dealership is aware of problem.

When applying pressure to brake pedal it will go directly to the floor during hard braking which could cause a crash due to failure of the brake system to engage. Also, during light braking, brakes engage at first. Then , brake pedal will go to floor. Dealership has informed consumer that this activity was considered to be normal operation of this model of vehicle, and there was no need for correction. Please provide any additional information/attachments.

While traveling on highway traffic began to slow down. Consumer stated that a hard spot came into the brake, and brakes were locked, consumer could not stop, and rear ended another vehicle which caused a chain reaction.

Transmission problem: at 40 mph going downhill unknowingly went into neutral and accelerating to maintain speed went over 3000 rpm. Normally at that speed 1400 rpm. Transmission bolt missing. Found by owner after dealer performed oil change. No paint scratched where bolt would have been if there was a bold there from manufacturer. Dealer replaced bolt at no charge. Hot front brake left side & tire feels hot - noticed by smell from left side - right side front no heat or smell. Found after traveling 60 mph and wheel & tire hot to touch. Dealer examined all brakes, claimed all normal, even brake pad wear on all brakes and found no abnormal conditions, but no problem since they dealer looked at this. (tiresize: 265/16)( dot number: tire size: 265/16 ).

While driving would step on brake pedal and vehicle would not stop on time, causing it to pass through intersections. This has happened seven times. Dealer could not fix the problem.

When you go to apply the brakes, with a constant pressure on the brake pedal, you receive no tactile feedback via increased resistance in the brake petal that the brakes are being engaged. You can press the brake petal all the way down and still not get a positive feeling that the brakes are being applied. The dealer refuses to do quantatative measurements on the brake system to see if it is within manufacturer specs. The manufacturer wants to wait over 7 days before another dealer can see the vehicle and conduct tests.

When applying brakes rear brake will lock up before the front brake, causing extended stopping distance. Lock up of rear brake could cause loss of control on wet or icy pavement. Tires leave black marks on pavement. Brake proportioning system not working correctly.

Brake pedal gets very hard. Consumer is unable to stop vehicle at times.
