Description of the problem | I was driving my yukon in rush hour traffic when i found it necessary to attempt a panic stop. I pressed on the brake pedal and felt somthing give way and the pedal went to the floor. I attempted applying the brakes again and again the brake pedal went to the floor. I nursed the vehicle to a parking lot and looked underneath and found brake fluid dripping from the frame on the drivers side just before the rear wheel. I inspected the brake lines and found them to be very corroded and the one line leading to the rear brakes was split open. I have since replaced the brake line from the abs unit under the drivers seat to the junction near the spare wheel. I have inspected the other brake lines and found they are corroded also. *js |
