Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Brake system on the yukon is a weak link on an otherwise great vehicle. We have complained about the brakes to the dealership numerous times and was told that it is normal. The problem with it is that the pedal goes almost to the floor everytime it is used and you tend to wonder if the truck will stop in time. I read in the paper this week that the yukon's brakes on the 1999 and later trucks were recalled and would bet that the problem is the same. Either way i want a complaint listed about these lousy brakes on the 98 model yukon and maybe gmc will design a fix for this lousy system. *ak |
