2003 GMC Yukon. Consumer writes in regards to intermittent anti-lock braking system. The consumer stated while driving down the road, warning bells started to sound and the check brake system light, illuminated. The consumer checked the brake fluid, and found it was ok. The next day, he took the vehicle to the repair shop, where they replaced the pads and checked the system. They ran a diagnostic check, which verified the abs had come on, but reset when the engine was re-stared. The brake shop recommended the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer. However, in their opinion the abs module and abs pump needed to be replaced. They explained to the consumer, when the warning light was on, the abs was inoperative. The dealer informed the consumer, it would cost $125, just to run the diagnostic and if the module and pump needed to be replaced, it would cost $ 2,200. The abs light stayed out for weeks. However, in March 2014, the light illuminated again.

I started my truck. I applied the brakes and shifted into drive. I began to roll forward, then applied my brakes prior to exiting my driveway. The brake pedal went to the floor, the brake service light came on and the truck continued forward. I had to pump the brakes to come to a stop. I pulled the truck over and observed brake fluid all over the street. I crawled under the truck and saw that the brake line was rusted and that it burst somewhere in the middle of the truck on the driver's side.

4 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2011

After driving for about 100 miles, stopped for lunch. After stopping for lunch, drove 2003 GMC Yukon with only 54,000 miles on it for another 20 miles on country highway at 55mph. Stepped on brakes to slow-down for slower traffic, the pedal went to the floor and the brake light came on. The Yukon was able to slow down before hitting the slower traffic. Drove about another 50 miles to nearest Chevrolet/GMC dealer, needing to use full brake pedal travel to slow-down the vehicle. The service brake light came on everytime the brakes were applied. The dealership investigated the failure. The rear brake line had rusted through and burst. The fuel tank needed to be removed to replace rear brake lines on the truck. The truck had to be left overnight at a dealership 100 miles from final destination to have the lines replaced. The dealership was very helpful in completing the repairs. Estimated cost from the dealer for the repairs was $400 - $800. The brake line failed with no warning.
