SEVERE BRAKE LINE CORROSION AND CORROSION AT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS CAUSES ABS TO ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAD 2 NEAR MISS CRASHES AND THEN CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND I HIT A FENCE IN MY YARD YESTERDAY. I HAVE 4 OTHER VEHICLES , A DODGE, BMW, AND 2 HONDA, ALL OLDER THAN THIS ONE, AND DO NOT HAVE THE. CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE MATERIAL USED IN THE GMC BRAKE LINES THAT CAUSES IT TO SEVERELY CORRODE. MALFUNCTION OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM KICK IN BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. DEALER SUGGEST REPLACING THE BRAKE SENSOR OR DISABLING IT. FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS EVENT THE VEHICLE HAD 35K MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL GIVEN THE IMPLICATIONS OF A FAULTY SYSTEM.

THE UPPER BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT (BAR) ON TOP OF THE REAR LIFT GATE DOOR MALFUNCTIONED. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN WORKING OR FOR HOW LONG. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT "BURNED OUT" AFTER DISCOVERING IT DURING INSPECTION OF ANOTHER PROBLEM, HOWEVER, NONE OF MY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE EVER NEEDED REPLACEMENTS FOR THESE LED LIGHTS. AFTER PAYING $300, FOR A NEW BRAKE LIGHT BAR IT WORKED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT SHORTED OUT OR MAY HAVE HAD WIRES THAT BECAME CORRODED. JUST ONE OF A MULTITUDE OF CONTINUING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *JS

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT AND TURNING RIGHT, THE POWERTRAIN SUDDENLY DISENGAGED, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT FROM UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS BEHIND MY YUKON. THE ENGINE REMAINS ON, THE SHIFTER (AUTOMATIC) HAS NOT MOVED AND INDICATES "DRIVE". MOVING THE SHIFTER TO OTHER GEARS DID NOT HELP EITHER. THINKING QUICKLY, I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, PLACED VEHICLE IN "P", RESTARTED, AND SHIFTED BACK TO "D" WHICH DID NOT WORK. I THEN PLACED ENGINE IN "3" AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING IN THIRD GEAR UNTIL ARRIVING HOME. THE GMC DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED A SHIFT CABLE FOR $1,100 AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS
