What owners wrote
I own a 2002 yukon denali, and my ABS kicks in at low speeds. There is already a recall for this issue but my [xxx] excludes me to obtain this recall. I own a 2002 yukon denali, I live in the "salt belt" states (new jersey), I am experiancing unwanted ABS activation at low speeds, my VIN does not match the suv's mentioned for this recall. I meet all quailifations for this recall except one (my VIN). So my SUV is not covered. Updated 07/17/2012
While driving our 2002yukon denali with 105,000 miles we had brake failure for the second time. We were towing our 21 foot gulf stream amerilite travel trailer and when the vehicle in front of us stepped on their brakes my husband attempted to begin slowing down. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor, we had no brakes. It is a miracle that we were not killed. This is the second brake line rupture within the past two years since we have owned this vehicle. The vehicle is extemely well maintained.
