Consumer believes the ABS system is defective in design which causes the consumer to loose control while braking and the pedal to feel spongy. Nlm
While driving at any given speed and when applying brakes they will not work for 5-10 seconds after traction control is activated.
I was slowing down for a red light when I pushed in on the brake it would not work and I was pushing on it with all the force I could apply trying to get it to stop. I heard a strange grinding noise the whole time I was applying the brakes.
Need to know if there is a recall on anti-lock brake systems on 99 and 2000 year model trucks from gmc.
During low speed brake application under normal braking conditions pedal is soft,requires pump to bring brake pedal to top of travel. Brakes will intermittently fail to stop vehicle,resulting in several near misses.
Abs module went bad. Abs pump motor wouldn't stop running. I pulled the fuse and took it right to the dealer. They didn't have a module in stock. It's been over a week and it's still not fixed. I'm driving without ABS.
Vehicle would not stop on clean, dry concrete surface at low speed. Vehicle was cold (30 f), driven about 100 yards, crashed slightly into garage door while attempting to park. Brakes did work at the last moment after pushing pedal very hard, and left a short skid mark from front tires only. Abs appeared to be operating when conditions were such that it should not have been activated.
Front brakes don't have a sure stop when going over a bump. Dealer has seen vehicle several for the problem, but can not find anything wrong.
The bracket that holds the emergency brake shoes to the backing plate is not sufficient, the shoes constantly rub on the bottom of the brake drum which wears it out prematurely, consumer feels that the brake shoes are too small for his vehicle.
The ABS control valve and ABS control module shorted out causing the ABS warning light to illuminate on the instrument panel while driving. Water had entered both units, the pins of the control unit and sockets of the module unit were covered with rust, shorting the system, in some manner water entered through the control unit and caused the pins and sockets to rust resulting in premature failure.

On 10-1-99 I complained to my selling dealer about a metallic noise coming from the right side of my vehicle when I would go over a bump or back out of my driveway. I've complained numerous times since then and each time the dealer says that they can't find or duplicate the noise or they blame it on one of my aftermarket accessories. The last time I took it in on 10/16/00 the dealer told me that it was my aftermarket exhaust system making the noise. I didn't install the exhaust until 7/00 and I've complained well before this time about this noise. Well today I got under my truck to investigate for myself what could be the source of this aweful noise and that's when I discovered that both of my rear brake caliper assemblies were loose. I was able to wiggle both of them with my hand but the right rear was the loosest. At this point I decided not to touch them anymore, I considered tightening them myself but decided against that just in case anybody should wish to inspect them. I immediately went down to my selling dealer and spoke with a manager but of course they told me to bring it back in on monday, 10/30/00 instead of immediately repairing the defect that I've complained about so many times. This is definately a safety hazzard and one can only immagine what would happen if the bolts came all the way out completely and the brakes were applied. I would like to see these trucks recalled and the brake bolt torque checked to insure that it doesn't happen to anybody else.
At normal braking procedures brakes will intermittently fail, causing longer stopping distance. Dealer cannot determine cause of defect.*ak the brake failure occured three times.
Motor that controls ABS system does not shut off when the vehicle is turned off. To shut off wire has to be unpluged manually. Dealer has been contacted.
Speedometer reads fast.
After driving over a bumpy road surface while applying the brakes, it takes 1 to 2 seconds before full braking force can be applied.
Service department for wheeler chevrolet cannot find the cause for the failures, they said they hoped the problems was fixed, however the right wheelbearing had to be replaced again and the brakes failed because of the rotor locking to the spindle when the bearing wore out after less then 30 miles and I have retained a private company to correct the defect and to see why wheelers could not sole this problem, they told me at one point that I shouldn't worry about the grinding noise the bearing prior to this one was making and to drive as normal as you can see by the low milage I dont drive it and until the saftey issue is resolved I will not allow my family to either.
Water in ABS module. Abs module mounted on the truck frame under the driver seat shorted out after a low speed rearend accident that sent my trailer hitch thru the other vehicle's bumper. No visible damage to my vechicle. After leaving scene, the ABS light on dash was on. On driving directly to the dealer, the ABS activated on any braking and increased the stopping distance. The dealer replaced module and found water in it. My truck has never been off-road, or in any deep water.
This is an intermittent problem that occurs unexpectedly. When brake is applied pedal goes to the floor, resulting in no braking power. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem.*ak the customer is concerned about safety, since the problem could reoccur anytime in the future. Customer had problems with the transmission and rear gears on rear axle.
When stopping on rough road the brakes released and then locked up. I talked to the dealer and they advised they haven't received any complaints on the brake systems. Problem was not resoved.
The ABS system/pump made a terrible sound and the warning light came on inside the vehicle. I contacted the dealer who stated just to unplug the ABS power supply but the brakes were fine. Another friend, julian scaff, has the same make/model/year truck and has had the exact ABS failure. Both were at approx. 45,000 miles. I have also had problems with the rear brakes locking up and not unlocking for a few minutes. This has caused untold wear and reduced fuel milage considerably. These are serious safety issues.
Abs failed on wet surface,spun 450 deg,after spin failed to stop vehicle. History: appoximately 4-6 times over a nine month period, when the brakes were first applied they did not appear to work. Upon releasing the brake and reapplying, the brakes then worked. Then over three month period the brakes began to feel choppy when stopping. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and all four rotors needed to be turned (only 10000 miles on vehicle). Two days later on a wet surface, going 16-20 MPH on a right turn with a slight uphill grade, when the brakes were applied the back end of the truck came spinning around in a clockwise direction. At 90 degrees the brake was released. The truck spun a total of 450 degrees. Then the brakes were applied hard, you could hear the sound of the ABS but the truck did not respond at all, there was no braking action. The vehicle crashed head on into a guard rail. The entire front bumper needs replacing. Fortunately no one was injured.
Intermittently brake failure. Dealer has attempted to fix defect 4 times, but defect reoccurred and couldn't determine cause. Also, a clunk in the front end indicta a loose part in the suspension or engine . Dealer has attempted to fix defect 6 times, but couldn't determine cause.
When going over a rough surface and applying the brakes, they let go and it feels as if you are not applying the brakes at all. Several close calls with accidents because of this. Told the dealership several times of the problem. They told me it was just the ABS system and I was not use to it but it was doing what it was supposed to do. After several attempts to get them to understand this was not normal they have still not been able to fix the problem. Only vehicle we own and am afraid we are going to have a major accident.
The antilock brakes released while braking causing the consumer to rear end another vehicle. Nlm
On bumpy surface brakes will not catch, causing extended stopping distance. Dealer claimed it was normal.
Whenever ABS brakes were applied vehicle would fail to stop. Would lift foot off & applied brakes again before vehicle was able to stop. Has taken to dealer 3 different times, each time brake problem could not be duplicated. Problem was intermittent.
Consumer was traveling about 30mph on highway and applied the brakes, brakes locked up, and vehicle slid off the road into a enbankment and into a tree.
No summary listed for above vehicle. *ak( dot number: tire size: at )
Brakes failed to stop vehicle when traveling over bumpy roads coming to a stop dealer can't find the problem on three trips for service, I can duplicate the problem almost at will, why can't the dealer.
