Reading the numbers
Across the 22 model years of the GMC Yukon in this data, 1995 draws comparatively few complaints; 2015 is the outlier year.
Filings have fallen off, 8 in the last three years against 10 in the three before. That is normal as a generation leaves the road.
The median odometer reading at the time of complaint was 92,465 miles.
In owners' own words
Brake lines near the master cylinder rusted to the point of complete brake failure. Luckily, I was in a parking lot when it happened and was able to recover using the emergency brake. I do not drive this vehicle on the beach, nor has it ever been in a flood. Brake lines replaced at high cost. Service brakes, hydraulic
I have seen the recalls for the light duty suv and the investigation of the suburbans and I think my Yukon has similar problems. Increased stopping distance and soft brake pedal. I don't want to be in an accident to prove it. Service brakes, hydraulic
While driving there was metal on metal noise when brakes were applied. Had no warning. Heard grinding noise. It takes awhile before vehicle slowed down. Took to dealer & mechanic replaced everything on the brakes. Service brakes, hydraulic
