What owners wrote
After three previous "repairs" including one recall, our 2002 GMC yukon xl ABS brakes are malfunctioning for the fourth time, exhibiting the exact same condition that was the subject of a 2005 recall. The ABS brake system activates on dry pavement when brakes are applied at low speeds, resulting in a longer than normal stopping distance. On several occasions collisions have narrowly been avoided as the ABS brake pedal "chattering" interferes with normal braking at crucial times.
The brakes on my 2002 GMC yukon xl seem to fail at low speed. You press on the brake pedal and it goes to the floor and does not stop. We have had the speed senor replaced, recalled part replaced in 2005. The description sounds exactly like what is happening with my truck. GMC says it will not replace this part for free,since it has been replaced once before. This part is a very serious safety part, I feel GMC should replace it. Safety first.
