2001 GMC Yukon XL review from North America
"Dangerous brake performance issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake Failure at 22,000 miles. GMC wants customer to pay for this despite that the car is still under warranty.
General comments?
GMC already settled a class action law suit for brake issues on the Chevy Suburban. My experience indicates the problem STILL has not been solved. If your car vibrates, shakes, or pulls to the left or right during braking from freeway speeds down to a complete stop, then you have the problem. Brake repairs are expensive, and brake performance issues are very serious in regards to safety. Email me at Erktank@aol.com if you have this problem with your GMC Yukon or Suburban.
