Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2005 GMC Yukon

Lost brakes completely. The was a catastrophic failure in the cluster of brake lines in front of abs module due to rust which left a puddle containing all of the brake fluid on the ground. Luckily the vehicle was in a church parking lot when it happened and a sudden stop was not needed from a higher speed. This could have been bad if that were the case. Too bad gm did to spend a few extra dollars on rust-proof brake lines given how exposed to the elements they are.

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.

My wife, with three children in the car, attempted to stop at a stop sign while traveling at approx. 35 mph and the brakes completely failed. After going through one additional stop sign and red traffic light, she was able to safely bring the car to a stop on the shoulder. Upon investigation it was found that one of the brake lines had completely rusted through and ruptured. We are lucky that they are alive. Based on the number of similar complaints, and potential severity of this type of brake failure there should be a recall of these clearly defective brake lines.

I was traveling on a local highway at the posted speed limit when I was caused to slow due to traffic. When I pressed the brake pedal the pedal went completely to the floor. Scared to death I almost engaged the emergency brake to ensure the vehicle would stop in time. Mind you I was traveling with three children and my spouse in the vehicle all of whose lives could have been affected not to mention my own. There was no indication of any brake service needed until this occurred at the point my foot was literally on the floor the service brake signal showed and dinging occurred. I arrived home without incident an hour later but still no pressure to the brake pedal and each time in order to stop I had to apply tons of pressure so the brake pedal would touch the floor. I checked the brake fluid and it was much lower than when we started our trip just a few hours prior. I immediately added fluid. The following day a large spot in the driveway was noticed at the left rear of the vehicle. My spouse checked the line and sure enough the line had rusted causing a leak. I do not reside in a high salt area nor did the previous owners. Northern va for prior owners and I reside in the "central" va area. This is not only a major issue but a huge safety concern. I had not realized that there were thousands of complaints for the same exact issue as what I now have. Regardless of warranty a vehicle less than 10yrs of age should not have corroded brake lines and fail to warn the owner and operator until it is in fact too late. Luckily I did not cause an accident but easily there could have been one. Yet again another gm vehicle has succeeded in being nothing but a safety issue, death trap and extreme disappointment.

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. After not hearing back, I called on 10/10/14 and was told that the vehicle was out of warranty and they couldn't do anything. I citied all the cases on line about faulty brake lines and NHTSA ea11001 and the lady had no knowledge of any issues. She stated it would be the responsibility of the dealership and not gm. She stated she would call the dealership the same day and turn it over to them. There was nothing gm would do to assist since it is out of warranty. Please help. What is the status of the investigation?.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the brake pedal went to the floor board abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake lines were rusted as well as corroded prematurely causing them to fracture. The brake lines were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000. Djr.

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. This is one of the most important parts on a vehicle and would expect the lines to last longer. I live in southern indiana about 40 miles for cincinnati, OH. This is unbelievable!! since I repaired this failure, the trans line and another brake line have failed due to rust. !! I have owned gm products my whole life and had a 1998 Yukon with 235,000 mi. On the truck and never had a problem with rust through on the lines. I wish there was something gm would do to help fix this problem. I worry every time I use the truck that another line would break and cause a massive accident.

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.

Wife almost had accident due to sudden brake failure. Corroded metal brake line rusted through for rear brakes.

Step on brake went to floor no brakes. Brake line and ac line rusted drivers side. Replaced brake line still have no air. $60,000 truck and they can't use s/s lines? ya! am pissed, won't buy gm again.
