2003 GMC Yukon. My emergency brake works in reverse but not in drive. What could this be?

Most likely it is either out of adjustment or just worn down too far to function properly. If you remove the rear brake rotors, you can examine the parking brake shoes to see if they are worn, broken, or just out of adjustment. Check the inside of the brake rotor as well, if the surface where the emergency brake shoes contact is very corroded, or peeling, or rusted away, then you will need to replace everything.
