What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2017 GMC Yukon. The contact stated while driving at 20 MPH with her daughter in the rear passenger seat, the message "Grade Braking Active" was displayed. The contact stated while making a right turn in an intersection, she depressed the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the vehicle before hers. However, the brake pedal went down to the floorboard and failed to respond. The contact then quickly veered to the right to prevent a crash.
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.
