In this video I have a look at a 2014 GMC Yukon that has a customer complaint of a low brake pedal. It doesn’t take long to duplicate the customer complaint and find the cause. These systems work off from a vacuum pump and they are a pretty common failure item. -Enjoy!

Everybody's hung over today Eric so I wish you and your family a very happy New Year!!?
I really wish you were around my area. My Nissan Maxima was have electrical problems a circuit 'A' high voltage. I can do a lot to my car but electronics I leave to pros for the most part. Took it to a shop guy say its the throttle position sensor. I had the same thought so I had just replaced it the day before. He says well sometimes you get them and they just don't work, also your power steering pressure sensor is broken. 677$ to fix both (tried to charge me 800 at the counter cuz they broke one, refused to pay for that) + the 65$ to tow it up there. Drive it home seemed find drove kind of sluggish but okay. I get init the next day, same thing happens again back into limp mode, circuit 'A' high voltage and I'm pissed obviously they got it wrong.
Long story short I would have it towed up there only for it to keep going into limp mode every time I got it back home. Frustrated, I thought to myself it it has to be a short, so I go out and jiggle the sensor wires and it goes out of limp mode. I start looking over the wires and see a set of wires that are taped up like shit. Uncover them and all the wires were fixed together by bare twist and tape not even heat shrink to cover them. Well, 20$ and an hr later my car works just fine. Oh and also the last time I had it in the shop for the problem they broke my A/C pressure sensor and did not replace it. Sigh, people will take everything from you and give nothing back if they can.
If it wasn't Government Motors, this would already be a safety recall and plastered all over the news. Of course the consumer is left to pay for a major design flaw in a typical GM pile of garbage.
Hold onto your receipts, undoubtedly there will be a class action law suit 5 years from now. Attorneys will make millions, and if you put in a claim after settlement, you could be entitled to a check for $8.50.
This somewhat reminds me of the moron who thought it was a good idea for vaccum pumps on a tundra and when they fail the truck will go into limp mode and you can't go more than like 25 Mph. Such a stupid design.
Happy new year Eric! Happy new year to everyone!
If I won a brand new GM Truck in a raffle for free I would take it straight to the closest Mopar dealer and trade it for a Ram or Wrangler Jeep.
Happy New Year Eric! We see these stupid things at work all the time as well. Another GM fail.
