Anytime I apply the brakes and reach a speed between 5 and 10 mph the ABS engages and the stopping distance is greatly increased.

ABS failure. Unable to stop vehicle. Removed ABS module fuse to safely operate vehicle.
- Mason, OH, USA
Had to stop in a hurry on the freeway and was going about 60 miles an hour and hit the brakes, I believe the ABS locked up and I fishtailed from the left to the right and back to the left again. Engine shutoff automatically and check engine light came on. This nearly caused a multi car collision with a possible bridge fly away as we were on a bridge at the time. Luckily through defensive driving was able to gain control of the vehicle and keep it from hitting anything or anyone, however now when turning right or left there is a squeak at every rotation when going slow. Also the vehicle slowly hesitates coming to a stop and ABS will sometimes start engaging causing near collisions.

Brake lines are completely corroding. Imminent brake failure.
- Marshall, VA, USA
While slowly approaching stop sign on the first trip of the day, brakes were slow to respond and pedal depression was more than usual. Stopped on side of the road and had Yukon towed to repair shop. Right front brake line found rusted through. Corrosion found on other three lines, but not as severe as right front. Replaced all four brake lines. Nine years of vehicle mileage accumulated in Connecticut, and five in Delaware.

As I was pulling out of the parking lot of my work, onto a public road, I came to a stop sign. I had brake pedal pressure for about 1 second, then the pedal went to the floor. There was traffic coming from both directions so I became a little nervous. The truck did stop in time though. I knew I had blown a brake line right away. I went back to work and inspected the lines and the rear line had blown apart. This is my second GM vehicle that blew a brake line in the exact same spot on the vehicle. I recently moved to Florida, this vehicle has been an Ohio vehicle all it life.
