I was traveling on the New York state thruway at approximately 4:00pm, in heavy traffic. Traffic began to slow and become backed up, due to congestion in a work zone. I applied my brakes, put the brake pedal went all the way to the floor, and I was unable to stop. I avoided colliding with the vehicle in front of me, by maneuvering onto the shoulder, and had to use the emergency brakes to stop.

As I was backing my truck out of my driveway, I release there was no brake pressure. Then the service brake light came on, I stop the car popped the hood and notice the fluid was low. Check under the car and found the line that goes front to rear is busted in the middle from rust. I had to use my parking brake to slow it down when I moved it back to its space.

Brakes were reduced to about 10% of normal and the 'service brakes' light came on. I had to push the pedal all the way down to the floor to stop. The mechanic said all of the brake lines must be replaced as they are rusted, and that this is a typical problem with GMC trucks of this type.

I was hooking up a dump trailer to my 2004 Yukon XL and when I went to do a turn signal and brake light check on the trailer, my brake pedal went to the floor. No warnings of any kind. I am extremely lucky that I was not moving and had just completed driving in high speed traffic for several hundred miles. The failure was total and immediate. I drove the vehicle to a nearby shop with the parking brake. The shop diagnosed the brake failure as corrosion in brake lines and fittings. I just moved to Florida this year, previously the vehicle had been driven in heavily salted and brined roads in the northeast.

Drove vehicle to my destination for shopping, no signs or warning what to follow. Came out of facility, started vehicle, backed up vehicle, stepped on brake, pedal to floor, said this can't be, pulled a little forward same thing no brakes, got out of vehicle found river of brake fluid. Had vehicle towed to my mechanic where he alerted me that all brake lines were rotted out. All lines now need to be replaced at a cost of $1500 with non-corrosive lines. This is a disgrace and I have called GM to complain who says there is no recall. People are going to die if this is not fixed.
