Vehicle experiencing brake failure, brakes feel as if there locking up which results in noise. Brakes were changed twice due to faiure.
When attempting to stop the van, the wheels locked up and the van slid through the intersection. Wheel lock-up has happened multiple times, ABS is hit-and-miss.
Module failure caused vehicle to drive right when initially applying the brakes, at any speed. The harder the stop, the greater the severity of the diving to the right. Driving situation would go away after the left side brakes would engage. Failure was unexpected, no warning light or other warning device indicated a problem. Computer readings @ dealer did not give error codes, but replacement corrected the problem.
Intermittently when the brakes are applied vehicle pulls to the right/vibrates and skids, resulting in extended stopping distance. Manufacturer has been notified.
While driving at any speed and applying the brakes, the ABS system kicks in, causing the ABS system to fail. Also there is vibration within the front tires.
When the brake pedal was used, it would be mushy & go to floor. This caused extended stopping distance. Also, gas gauge indicator would flop off and on/ air conditioner & electric windows failed to work,and ABS brake light was on. Had to shut down vehicle & then restart it. An intermittent problem that was getting worse. Speed has not played a factor in problem. Taking vehicle to dealer.
Drove out of driveway and ABS brake light went on and would not go off. Shut car down and restarted. Light went off but as I drove out, ABS light went back on. Took to dealer said it was the ABS computer that failed and that I would have to replace it because it was out of warranty . Regular brakes are functioning properly, but I do not have ABS brakes. Estimated cost to replace ABS computer $1300-$1400.
When braking for a red light and moving into a left turn lane, the ABS brakes went off uncontrollably for no apparent reason. I had a very hard time braking and had to put my entire body weight on the brake pedal to stop my vehicle. I actually had to extend my leg and "stand up" on my brake pedal. I am glad I was going rather slow, around 15 m.p.h. Because I almost hit the car that was waiting at the red light in front of me. I really thought my vehicle was not going to stop. Now I am extremely afraid to drive my car. Thank you.
Anti lock speed sensors have to be replaced everytime tires are rotated or flat is fixed. Nlm

Had an accident while driving 20mph slammed on brakes, they caught and then released. As a result, hit the vehicle in front.contacted dealer and manufacturer.
New is gm is recalling the chevy truck anti-lock brakes. I have a 94 astro two wheel drive van. I've reported serious problems where the vehicle doesn't stop. Does this recall include my vehicle? Also; I feel anti-lock brakes should be an option. Anti-lock brakes are for people who feel the need the protection if they pannic stop. Most people acquire the feel of a vehicle and the ability to control it. Anti-lock brales do not operate properly if someone pumps the brake or applys increasing ammounts of preasure to avoid an accident. Anti-lock brakes must have hard consistent pressure to stop a vehicle saftly without having the tires skid. In other words the driver must pannic stop. This is aganist most drivers natural instinct.
While driving on a slight hill, with cruise control set at 67 MPH, vehicle accelerated to 75 to 83 MPH before driver was able to stop it. Applying the brakes did not disengage the system. After pulling the vehicle in overdrive, it began to slowed down. Dealer has been notified about the problem. The vehicle has not been checked. Please provide any further details.
