This is about a 2017 yukon xl break failing to operate the previous 2016 yukon models have the same issue and have a recall bulletin no: pit5361b and the dealer does not want to address or acknowledge the problem

Reported at 49,200 miles, December 2018 Crash

It was a 101 degree out here in denver, colorado. While driving on a toll way at 75 miles per hour an "ABS" light with a "service stabilitrak" message popped out. The vehicle was driving ok with lights on until I finish the toll way (30 miles) and then for the next 50 miles on a highway. I noticed the first problem when I exited the highway and driving at a lower RPM. At 30-45 miles per hour the vehicle started setting the break on by itself and drafted to the left lane.
