At slow braking speeds {at 5 mph} the ABS brakes go off every time you stop. When coasting through a parking lot at 5 mph, when the brakes go off they lock up and they do not let go. When they lock up, and your cannot stop or control the braking, you run into the cars parked in front of me. My wife will not drive this vehichle any more because she cannot control the stopping. I removed the fuses that control the ABS braking so that I can control my braking.
About 6 months ago my ABS system started to engage on dry pavement. While applying the brake the ABS would engage and the pedal would go to the floor, increasing braking distance. In one instance my wife was parking and the ABS engaged and the Yukon ran into the concrete parking block because it wouldn't stop. The ABS usually engages in the last 5 to 20 foot of braking and at slow speeds. This problem is intermediate. I have taken it to a dealer and private shops and no one can find the problem.
While driving the vehicle at 25 mph the anti lock brakes would not lock. The consumer stated that the brakes caused extended stopping distance. The consumer has made contact with the dealer.
Owner applied the brakes and brake pedal went to the floor. Vehicle was not stopping upon brake application. This caused vehicle to continue forward into intersection. Driver made an emergency right turn which then resulted in the vehicle sliding and then flipping over.
While braking lightly at 30 mph vehicle brakes locked up, causing vehicle to fish-tail and become uncontrollable. Brakes did not return to normal, they continued to lock the wheels and the vehicle crashed into a pole flipped over, and roll approcimately 3 times.
When applying pressure to brake pedal it will go directly to the floor during hard braking which could cause a crash due to failure of the brake system to engage. Also, during light braking, brakes engage at first. Then, brake pedal will go to floor. Dealership has informed consumer that this activity was considered to be normal operation of this model of vehicle, and there was no need for correction.

Transmission problem: At 40 mph going downhill unknowingly went into neutral and accelerating to maintain speed went over 3000 RPM. Normally at that speed 1400 RPM. Transmission bolt missing. Found by owner after dealer performed oil change. No paint scratched where bolt would have been if there was a bold there from manufacturer. Dealer replaced bolt at no charge. Hot front brake left side & tire feels hot - noticed by smell from left side - right side front no heat or smell. Found after traveling 60 mph and wheel & tire hot to touch. Dealer examined all brakes, claimed all normal, even brake pad wear on all brakes and found no abnormal conditions, but no problem since they dealer looked at this. (tiresize: 265/16)( dot number: Tire size: 265/16 )
While traveling on highway traffic began to slow down. Consumer stated that a hard spot came into the brake, and brakes were locked, consumer could not stop, and rear ended another vehicle which caused a chain reaction.
Slowing to a stop on slight downhill grade, the brakes failed for appx 3-4 seconds. The brake pedal raised up towards me and couldn't stop the vehicle. This has happened at least 20 times(always on dry roads).it also occurs at slowing down speeds, if road is ever so slightly rough. * not overly bumpy !!

While driving would step on brake pedal and vehicle would not stop on time, causing it to pass through intersections. This has happened seven times. Dealer could not fix the problem.
