| I have a 2002 yukon denali awd. i took a long trip this week for vacation and noticed that the abs light as been coming on and off, and now its on all the time. whenever im moving at low speeds it tends to pulse when i brake or have the abs activate making an easy slow stop become and long stop that has made me swerve to miss many near collisions in the past few days. im also hearing a knocking sound at low speeds in the drive side wheel only when i turn right, between the 2 that have just recently appeared made my 900 mile trip a nightmare, not knowing what it is. i've researched the problem online and notice there was a recall in canada for the same problem and that the complaints are not high enough to get it in the u.s. so how many ppl need to risk being injured or killed for gm to do the right thing. they obviously no something is wrong and is not willing to help the consumers. thanks *tr | |||

| Brakes failed due to corrosion of the brake line. braking was not existent as the pedal travels to the floor. thank god for not being in a busy street and being able to coast to a stop. this is a heavy vehicle and without braking ability it could easily kill people. after adding some brake fluid (most of which leaked through the broken line) there's not even a warning light on to alert of a braking problem despite the fact that the pedal goes to the floor. the other important point to note is that the failure in the line appears to have happened in a part of the line that appears to be inside the car frame which makes it the most protected line from the outside elements. if that's the first line to fail, it would suggest sub standard materials being used in manufacturing these lines. | |||
