| Brake line erroded away on a very well taken care of 2004 gmc yukon denali. nearly collided with another vehicle going over speed bump and had absolutely no warning! my pedal went to the floor and the only way ii avoided collision was putting the truck in neutral and stomping on the parking break. for a vehicle that new costs over 50000 dollars to fail at such a low mileage and not even close to a decade old is completely unacceptable. this vehicle rarely seens inclimate weather and is covered with a nearly 500 dollar california car cover. | |||

| 2004 gmc yukon denali - traction control message comes on after a stop when you start to go again and it feels like the vehicle does not want to go. the vehicle started doing this about 20k. we have taken it in several times for this issue but could not figure out what it was due to no code in the computer. finally at 47k we took it in again and made the dealership ride with us and the truck did this, they replaced a sensor but now we are have several other issues that we never had before, the abs light is coming on, service stability light and the traction control off light come on. i can't believe after all this time they can't figure it out, it is getting very costly having the truck in every few weeks. *tr | |||

| During normal driving, brake pedal will sometimes go to the floor when attemping to stop, and vehicle will not slow down at all. after second attempt, brakes start working again. no errors reported by vehicle computer. we have already hit a mailbox trying to avoid a crash, and almost rolled over another time due to not being able to slow down in time. two gm dealers have found no problems, and we have been told to not bring the vehicle back to them as they say nothing is wrong with it. problem happens approx. every 5 weeks, no consistency or events leading up to brake loss. | |||
