| Defect Summary | Certain sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger vans fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 135, ?passenger car brake systems.? some of these vehicles were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief valve bore. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Consequently, the valve o-ring seal may fracture. steering efforts may be slightly increased while braking or parking. under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seat fracture. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. the recall began on june 18, 2004. owners should contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2339; chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; gmc at 1-866-996-9463; or hummer at 1-866-486-6376. | |||||||||||||||

| Brakes were reduced to about 10% of normal and the 'service brakes' light came on. i had to push the pedal all the way down to the floor to stop. the mechanic said all of the brake lines must be replaced as they are rusted, and that this is a typical problem with gmc trucks of this type. | |||

| I was hooking up a dump trailer to my 2004 yukon xl and when i went to do a turn signal and brake light check on the trailer, my brake pedal went to the floor. no warnings of any kind. i am extremely lucky that i was not moving and had just completed driving in high speed traffic for several hundred miles. the failure was total and immediate. i drove the vehicle to a nearby shop with the parking brake. the shop diagnosed the brake failure as corrosion in brake lines and fittings. i just moved to florida this year, previously the vehicle had been driven in heavily salted and brined roads in the northeast. *tr | |||

| Stability system disabled was displayed prior to the brakes being engaged without driver input. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and a 'yaw sensor' replaced. the problem returned within 20 miles. a second sensor was replaced along with reprogramming. the problem continues. dealer states gm has told us to do nothing more. no further explanation is offered by the dealer or gm customer assistance. i believe that a vehicle that activates brakes on dry pavement without the driver's foot on the pedal is dangerous. | |||

| The subject vehicle had recently been parked after towing a 29 foot long travel trailer. it had sat for approximately two weekssince we last used it. during the 2011 30 october snow storm in pa, i went to pick it up to use it. i started down the driveway and went to apply the brakes and the brake pedal traveled to the floor. all of the antilock and brake warning lights appeared on the dash. i was able to stop the vehicle and back it back the driveway and park it. we later called aaa and had it towed to a local chevy dealer. they diagnosed the problem and left us know that they had found a brake line that burst due to corrosion. this brake line is almost directly under the power brake booster assembly and is somewhat hidden from view. it lies atop the frame in this area and according to the dealer had corroded. according to the dealer they had to fabricate a replacement brake line and were able to replace it. they further indicated they looked at the other brake lines and did not see any further indication of corrosion. i have driven the gmc for about ten miles since the repair and the brakes appear to be back to normal. let me add this, i have owned 15 different vehicles in my life and not one has had to have a steel brake line replaced. this is the first. just like the other gm owners, when these lines fail the braking ability to stop this two ton vehicle is almost non-existent i am very thankful this line did not fail while towing the 29 foot travel trailer. | |||

| Brake pedal effort is excessive, resulting in several near misses due to inability to stop rapidly. have notified dealer(s) several times, and they have stated that brakes were okay. i personally feel that brake pads and/or rotors were too small for weight of the truck.*ak | |||

| The consumer would have to depress the brake pedal hard to the floor for vehicle deceleration. this would cause extended stopping distance. the dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. the cause was not determined. please provide any additional information. *nm | |||

| While driving at any speed, the brake pedal has to be pushed very hard to get deceleration to occur. when i had to stop quickly after going 65 mph i almost hit the ark highway and transportation department due to the lack of control of stopping. *ak | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2004 gmc yukon. the contact noticed a leak under the hood of his vehicle. the manufacturer advised him to take the vehicle to a dealer and they stated that the hydro boost failed. the contact would have to pay $861 to repair the vehicle. the mechanic informed him that he could have run out of power steering and brake fluid, and the seal failed and was leaking. the failure could have caused a crash due to the loss of the fluids in the vehicle and the inability to brake. the brakes and the steering are one unit. a gmc representative stated that he would call the contact in 24 hours to discuss whether or not they will pay for the parts or a portion of the repairs. the current mileage was 48,498 and failure mileage was 48,448. | |||
