I OWN A 2001 YUKON XL AND HAVE A PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM. WHEN THE PEDAL IS PUSHED, IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I RAISED THIS ISSUE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT. IN THE FIRST 3,000 MILES, I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL, BUT HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED OTHERWISE. I NOW HAVE 46,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I JUST PAID $125.00 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY ANOTHER DEALER WHO TOLD ME OF THE DESIGN DEFECT. GM NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THE VEHICLES AND CORRECT THE DESIGN FLAW.*JB
2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
1-AT LOW SPEED BRAKING (3-5MPH), THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CAUSES THE PEDDLE TO PULSATE AND GROON. SEVERAL TIMES THE SYSTEM JUST GAVE UP AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE INTO INTERSECTIONS, BEFORE STOPPING. 2-NO CONSEQUENCES YET 3- TOOK 2001 YUKON XL TO LOCAL GMC DEALER, FOR SERVICE. DEALER REPORT WAS LEFT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY WAS HEAVILY CORRODED. FRONT ROTORS WERE RUSTY AND NEEDED TO BE CUT, REAR ROTORS WERE RUSTY AND NEEDED TO BE CUT, ALSO REAR PADS NEED REPLACEMENT. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT THIS TIME, FEELING THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE HUB ASSEMBY AND REPLACING OTHER PARTS ARE NOT TOTALLY NECESSARY. *AK
