2017 GMC Yukon Brakes Problems

At parking lot speeds, there have been many incedents of brake failure, when pressing pedal to stop pedal pulsates and becomes very hard to stop the yukon. there seems to be a vacume or booster issue. Yukon will be fine for days then reaccure when slowing at stop sign or waitng at red light and moving foward in slow traffic to sign or llight and then in happens again. scary and unreliable when using brakes at low speed intersections or continous stop and go's

At low idle speeds like in a parking lot we almost hit another car because the brakes were very hard to press. No power brakes. Felt as I was having to stand on the brake pedal with both feet to stop my vehicle from hitting another car at a grocery store parking lot going 5 mph! A light flashes on and says”service brake assist “ light goes away and drives normal and brakes normal except when you get to a stop sign, or traffic light. This happens a few times and I’m not driving the car because of it because I might hit someone

Yukon break tail lamp problems. Brake lights work intermittently. Very dangerous! The break lights will work intermittently and then work. This was an issue with the 2016 models and GM issues a recall. There is no recall for 2017 which I don't understand because nothing has changed with the manufacturing process. I researched and there is a class action but in California only.

Brake pedal gets hard and will not allow vehicle to stop. Intermittent issue, but caused vehicle to hit gate. Same situation occurred later that same week and vehicle almost rolled through major highway crossing.

The pump in the power-assist brakes puts out less vacuum power than needed, increasing stopping distance and the risk of a crash. My car rolls and doesn't stop. I have new brakes so this is unacceptable!!

This has been going on for a while now, but it’s getting worse overtime. If I push on my brakes more than twice the brake pedal locks up and I have to push extremely hard to get my vehicle stopped.. luckily I have never been going fast and had to worry about this. This is normally when I am pulling into a parking spot or I am backing up that I have to tap on my brakes a few times. A couple of times I have bumped the pole in front of my parking spot due to not having brakes. I just put in a general date as to when they started to get worse.

I have a 2017 Yukon. There is a recall on this model already for a vacuum pump that decreases the power brake assist. My vehicle is having this exact issue. The back tire sounds like the compressor is always running and when braking it grinds at the pedal like a vibration and doesn’t want to stop immediately. I need my vehicle added to the recall list so I can get it repaired.

Driving down the highway and brake pedal became hard to push down almost causing us to wreck. Keep seeing there was a recall for the brake vacuum pump and also brake assist warning came on. Also when driving low speed like in parking lot it takes a while for vehicle to come to a complete stop

Low speed breaking failure.

-Back brake light system failure. -Safety of a rearend accident compromised when tail light does not work properly. -Yes, a repair shop confirmed the $975 unit needs to be replaced and is on back order for one month putting our safety at risk. -No warning has appeared. A person behind me reported it to me.

THE BRAKES STOP WORKING. BRAKE ASSIST COMES ON. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES YOU CAN FEEL THE PUMP IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. THIS IS HAPPENING AT SLOW SPEEDS MOSTLY IN PARKING LOTS BUT IN FEAR OF IT HAPPENING WHEN GOING FASTER. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP- DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND IN A CAR WHERE THE BRAKES JUST STOP WORKING.

IRREGULARITIES WHEN BRAKE IS PUSHED AT LOW SPEEDS. CAN FEEL VARIOUS ISSUES SUCH AS VIBRATING BRAKE PEDAL, STUTTERING NOISE, LOSS IN PRESSURE OF BRAKES AND NEEDING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2-3 TIMES NOW, ONCE IN A PARKING LOT, IN A DRIVE THRU AND WHEN PULLING OUT/IN THE GARAGE.

DRIVER SIDE REAR TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN OPEN AND CLOSE REAR HATCH. PASSENGER SIDE REAR HAS SAME ISSUE WHICH WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED. TAP THE REAR QUARTER PANEL OR HIT A BUMP TAIL LIGHT WILL TURN OFF OR ON.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE BRAKES SHUTTERED AND THEY WOULDN'T HARDLY WORK. ALMOST COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED. A WARNING ON MY DASH SAID "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST." THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN CANADA BUT NON HERE FOR MY VEHICLE SO FAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. GMC NEEDS TO ESTABLISH A RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AFTER SENDING MY SUV FOR THE BRAKE RECALL(THE BRAKES ACTUALLY FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING) LAST MONTH, MY BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, ON WEDNESDAY 8/19 -ON MY WAY TO WORK.. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. BASICALLY HAVING TO HARD PUSH THE BRAKES ON CITY STREETS STOP LIGHTS ETC. SCARY. YESTERDAY, 8/20 THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS FIXED. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP 30 MIN AWAY, THEY TELL ME AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THAT BRAKE INDICATION CAME ON THE SCREEN AND THEY WILL NEED TO KEEP IT FOR MY SAFETY. AS OF NOW NO WORD ON IT BEING CORRECTED, AND QUITE HONESTLY NOT FEELING SAFE ABOUT DIVING THE CAR.

WAS IN SCHOOL CAR LINE, WENT TO MOVE FORWARD A LITTLE AND BRAKES DIDNT WORK PROPERLY. ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. GO STRAIGHT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TELL ME ABOUT THE RECALL. SCHEDULE THE FIX, THIS MORNING WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP I DISCOVER THE RECALL DIDNT FIX MY ISSUE. LEARN THAT I NEED A VACCUUM PUMP REPLACEMENT. I AM UPSET THAT I AM SUPPOSE TO PAY $500 FOR A FAULTY VACCUUM PUMP AND RISK MY LIFE, THE KIDS LIVES AND PEOPLE'S LIVE AROUND ME UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THIS REPAIR WHEN IT IS FAULTY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
