| I started my truck. i applied the brakes and shifted into drive. i began to roll forward, then applied my brakes prior to exiting my driveway. the brake pedal went to the floor, the brake service light came on and the truck continued forward. i had to pump the brakes to come to a stop. i pulled the truck over and observed brake fluid all over the street. i crawled under the truck and saw that the brake line was rusted and that it burst somewhere in the middle of the truck on the driver's side. *tr | |||

| Brake lines under drivers seat are completely rusted through. vehicle is garage kept and seems to be experiencing excessive rust on brake lines. while driving vehicle brake pedal went to the floor almost causing me to have an accident. my family and i own and have owned numerous gm products and we're very disappointed with this safety hazard not being addressed by gm. maybe it's time to shop elsewhere... | |||

| It was raining, i exited i95 on to rt 321 in south carolina, decelerating speed about 40 mph on exit ramp to the right, when car in front abruptly applied brakes, i did same, and vehicle went in to skid. kept foot on brakes, no alb engagement. vehicle slide off road, and tires hit grave and vehicle spun 180 degrees comin to rest on precipice of cliff. we were nearly killed. the alb did not engage. the dealer said he tested... and siad they were fine?? how did he test on dry pavement that day? i have gotten nothing but lip service from the dealer and gm customer service. there is a serious design flaw in the alb of this vehicle, or an intermittent flaw.. who knows how many people have died not living to tell the story about this design flaw. gm is denying any problem and is of no help. this in my opinion is a major issue, possibly with all these alb systems. i need some help on getting my car recalled and fixed. i read your salt state recall, but it it much larger than that. it is a flaw with all these vehicles. the vehicle i have is a 2003 yukon xl | |||
