| The office of defects investigation (odi) received defect petition dp10-003 on march 2, 2010, requesting the investigation of model year (my) 2003 chevrolet silverado 2500hd 4wd pickup trucks for corrosion failures of the vehicle brake lines.dp10-003 was granted and on march 30, 2010, preliminary evaluation pe10-010 was opened on more than six million model year 1999 through 2003 light trucks and sport utility vehicles manufactured and sold by general motors corporation (gm).on july 2, 2010, odi received gm's response to an information request, which included gm's assessment of the frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect. gm stated that:(1) the brake system of the subject vehicles is split front/rear and should a brake pipe suddenly fail for any reason, the affected vehicle would be capable of stopping with the pressure supplied by the remaining circuit; (2) the subject vehicles were designed to meet the hydraulic circuit partial failure requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards 105 and 135, light vehicle brake systems; and (3) should a brake fluid leak occur for any reason, the brake system malfunction indicator lamp (mil) would illuminate and warn the driver before the brake fluid level was low enough to cause a loss of line pressure.odi's and gm's analysis indicates that 85 percent of the complaints occurred on vehicles used primarily in states that use salt on the roads during winter months (connecticut, delaware, district of columbia, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia and wisconsin).overall the complaint rates per 100,000 vehicles for salt belt states is 43.0 and non-salt belt is 3.0.in approximately 25 percent of the complaints the brake pipe failure occurred suddenly, with no warning (i.e., no mil, brake fluid loss warning), and resulted in extended stopping distances.in 30 of these the increase in stopping distance that resulted was a factor in the crash and in 10 others the vehicle was intentionally steered off the road or into another lane of travel in order to avoid a crash.this investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea11-001) for subject vehicles sold or currently registered in salt belt states to further assess the scope, frequency and safety risks associated with sudden failures of corroded brake pipes that can result in decreased brake effectiveness. odi will continue to gather information on subject vehicles outside the salt belt as well. | ||||||

| On october 9th, 2012 i entered my yukon at approximately 9pm in a parking lot in downtown cincinnati, ohio. i put my foot on the brake pedal and start my vehicle. i shifted into reverse and began backup when i pressed on the brake pedal it went all the way to the floor and never regained any brake pressure. i did manage to get my wife and i home safely. i understand that nhtsa already has an open investigation per following: in 2010, after receiving owner complaints, the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) initiated a preliminary evaluation of brake failure trends among six million general motors vehicles build between 1999-2003, including the chevy avalanche and silverado, the gmc sierra and some of the automaker's heavy duty trucks. initially, about 100 owners reported failure of corroded brake lines, resulting in either lengthy stopping distances or crashes. the problem has escalated, with more owners reporting brake line failure, and so far gm has not kicked-in repair dollars. in early 2011, nhtsa upgraded the preliminary investigation to an engineering analysis. from about.com. while my wife and i did return home safely it was rather terrifying to drive 25 miles with virtually no brakes. why didn't gm initiate a recall to fix this problem if nhtsa is already aware of the problem. i would like to file a complaint against general motor as we feel they could have put our lives in danger if this had happened in a way that i wasn't aware and had to brake for an emergency. from a cost perspective gmc dealership is charging $2000 replace the corroded brake lines. | |||

| I started vehicle, depressed the brake pedal, i then placed the shifter into reverse and proceeded to drive when i realized the vehicle wasnt stopping as usual. i then put the shifter into drive and parked it . i got out of the vehicle and noticed alot of fluid (on the drivers side) all over the ground. i called a tow truck to have it moved to a mechanics location for further inspection. the main (corroded) brake line burst causing fluid to leak everywhere and creating a potetially serious life threatening driving hazard ( brake failure) had i not parked the vehicle it would have been a different ending....this needs to investigated immediately | |||

| Unlike many others my chevrolet mechanic warned me of the corrosion problems they found on my brake lines on my gmc 2002 yukon, and the need to replace them. this $1,700 repair is excessive, but i could not consider risking failure. we travel on highways close to 1,000 miles per month and occassionally tow a 5,000 pound boat/trailer. i typically buy new cars, maintain them with the dealer and run them as long as i can. i have never seen or heard of such a comprehensive failure. having only briefly researched this on line and easily finding hundreds of reported failures, i cannot believe that gmc has not been held accountable. a friend has reported to us that both their sierra and yukon experienced on road failures. i maintain my cars as responsibly as i can, at a cost, but not wanting any highway failures. i hate to think about the aging gmc/chevy truck population that is now driving next to me. why has gmc not been held accountable. | |||

| I have a 2002 gmc yukon 4wd and have had recurring problems with my abs activating at slow speeds. the vehicle has been repaired by the local gmc dealer 3-5 times but keeps recurring 10-15k miles later. the problem occurs at slow speeds, such as coming to a stop or in heavy commuter traffic. the abs activates and the yukon is difficult to stop. the dealer claims they are unaware of any problems along this line, but i have paid several times to get it repaired and nobody seems to know why it keeps failing. the failure to stop has resulted in two small collisions but no damage was done to my vehicle or the others. the problem is occuring again, but the $500/pair of sensors is proving to be a burden to keep fixing. i believe the speed sensor was adjusted the other times the abs was faulty, but the details are difficult to determine. any and all help is appreciated! i realize my vehicle is 8 years old with 80k miles on it, but this problem has been repaired under warranty several times and the problem remains, expensivly, after the warranty has expired. | |||

| Driving from tampa to orlando in my 2002 gmc yukon with trailer in tow. brakes went to floor while had to use emergency brake. i was tow home by aaa no fluid in reservoir filled it up. saw fluid leaking under drivers door look with flaslight and saw cluster of lines corroded leaking from a round device and running down the rail toward back. about two ft. long. i think they are the metal brake lines and their failure seems like a defect in material as i think they should be made of a harder or more lasting stainless steel or something as brakes are the most important device on a vehicle. i now feel for the safety of my family gmc said improper maintainence. i think gmc should take care of their faulty defective brake lines before someone is killed or maby they have already. | |||

| My 2002 gmc yukon has the problem that when stopping at slow speeds the abs brakes activate causing the car to lurch forward before coming to a complete stop. this is the third time i have experienced this with this vehicle. the first time was just before the recall for this problem in 2005, the second time was in the summer of 2007 when it was fixed under the recall, and just recently when i had to again pay for the repair. each time it was repaired by removing and cleaning or replacing the sensors. obviously the repair done as a result of the recall is temporary at best and the safety issue of the car lurching forward returns. in my case it appears to return in about 2 years. *tr | |||

| 2002 yukon had very reduced braking under normal speeds and road conditions. the brake pedal was pushed nearly to the floor with only about 30% of normal brake capacity. as if the front brakes were not helping. the big issue is that the recall service by gm recall # 05068 has been performed on this truck less than 6 months ago on 8-23-2006. the recall procedure does not correct the defect. someone is going to get killed by this problem that gm is not correctly addressing. *nm | |||
