Read complaints for GMC YUKON XL (2014)
After switching to passing lane and seeing traffic in lane at standstill i swiftly jammed on brake pedal. Brakes failed to provide adequate stopping ability as though they were coated with grease. Despite having well in excess of 100 ft the vehicle would not stop. Rear ended vehicle in front with about 12k in damage to front of the vehicle. Air bags did not deploy. Original rotors and pads were replaced after experiencing severe brake fading when hot prior to accident. Drilled and slotted racing rotors were installed. After the vehicle was repaired and placed back on the road, i tested with the same brakes with a hard stop from 80 mph. The brakes worked so well the force of the stop was pulling me off my seat. Several weeks later, i was cut off by another driver on the highway doing about 40mph less than i was. I jammed on the brakes and again there was insufficient braking like before except no collision. Once more i tested at a hard brake from 80 mph and again it stopped extremely well. Apparently the failure of sufficient braking came with application of abs system otherwise the stopping power was exceptional. I strongly urge investigation of gm abs braking. I am a professional driver with in excess of 4 million miles with all classes of vehicles in all extremes. The worst damage i ever had on the highway was a broken headlight in 1975 until this accident. The accident should not have happened as my reaction was timely and the distance to stop more than adequate. The air bags failed to deploy despite the entire nose of the vehicle being destroyed and pushed back to the engine block.
The contact owns a 2014 gmc yukon xl. While stationary, the vehicle locked on its own while a child was in the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,000.
Was involved in an accident unable to stop in time. Uninow if this is related to the brake potential recall but i have noticed potential stoping distance changes when using the vehicle for long periods i assume it is just from use. Figured this information would be useful with the current investigation

Dashboard cracked on corner of airbag.
This will be the 3rd time in the last 4 years i have experienced my yukon xl 2004 model completely shutting down while all 3 times driving on the highway at a speed average of 65 mph.with no warningat all.all 3 times have been while driving this vehicle over a 4 hour period for family vacation.most recently was this past labor day weekend.we have replaced sensors, fuel pump, and most recently had the engine replaced which is why i know for certain it cannot be related to any of the above.thankfully i was near a exit ramp each time and was able to pull over safely.all 3 times i have waited about 15 minutes and the car will start back up -andno one seems to know what is wrong with it.
Cracked dashboard. One crack over the drivers side dash one also on the passenger side just above the airbag.
My dash board cracked above instrument panel, while pulling out of parking lot at work. 4 years old 46,800 miles
There are 2 cracks in the dashboard, 1 above the steering wheel instrument panel and one at the corner of the passenger side airbag.they appeared out of nowhere and without any accompanying motor vehicle crash or other physical cause.i found the cracks as i was wiping the dashboard off with a microfiber towel.the crack over the instrument panel grew approximately 3 inches while i was driving to the dealership.i was told that since my warranty was expired (expired on 12/06/2016) and i was over the warranty mileage (my mileage was 36180, warranty only good for 36000) that my vehicle was not covered and i would have to pay over $1800 + tax to replace.i have searched online and found similar gm vehicles have had the same problem, and with cracks in the exact same place.this is a vehicle defect and given the fact that it's so close to the passenger side airbag presents a safety concern that the whole dashboard could be dislodged and become a flying hazard should the airbag inflate during a crash.
2014 gmc yukon.consumer writes in regards to vehicle sudden acceleration and brake system failure.the consumer stated when he exited out of a parking lot, he mae a right turn and when he attempted to accelerate, the vehicle went into low gear and took off down the freeway. He released the released the accelerator some, but the vehicle did not stop.the consumer stomped on the brake, but to no avail. The consumer then noticed the cruise control was activated, but it wasn't activated by him. So he deactivated the cruise control the vehicle finally settled down and stopped accelerating and he was able to regain control.
