What owners say
When coming to a stop vehicle would not stop when pressing on brakes. Consumer took vehicle to dealer 3 times, and dealer said that was the way ABS worked. When getting of freeway and trying to apply brakes, it feels like there is a 2x4 under brake pedal, can't push brake down.
In wet/ snowy and icy conditions ABS braking system malfunctions, causing extended stopping distance which may result in a crash. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem.
When applying brakes there is a noise present. Abs kicks in, and vehicle does not stop. Dealer has seen vehicle over 5 times, and no solution found.
Before ABS sensor light came on, vehicle was experiencing problem with brake pedal pulsating whenever brakes were applied intermittently. Can the federal safety agency provide additional information.
The ABS warning light stays on constantly once vehicle reaches 10 MPH. The brakes work but the stopping distance is increased and they grab a lot. I have taken the vehicle to the local dealer but was told they could not do anything until something is actually received from gmc. The dealer said they heard of the recall on cnn, but it is not official yet.
Abs brake sensor worn out & replaced 2x - cause not identified but over 2 months,mechanics discovered axle nut loosened & lf wheel loose,wobbly & coming off axle(gmc bad & potentially fatal design flaw - since there's no cotter pin used, typically found on awd/4wd vehicles). Mechanics "notched" axle spindle to hopefully prevent nut loosening, coming off & wheel flying off. Loosening axle nut traced to a supposedly bad wheel bearing(no typical warning noise at all & cost $930 to replace in june 1999). Potentially fatal design flaw regardless of mileage! Lehmer's gmc dealership[1851 galindo st, concord, ca94524,(925)685-4481]says too much mileage for any remuneration. I feel cost should be gmc's to bear(not mine) as well as fixing other wheels. It'll cost gmc alot more in court if an accident occurs, etc. -like their gas tanks problems! Gmc customer service says it's not in their hands. Thanks very much.....
When brakes were applied the ABS system engaged but the pedal became hard, resulting in extended stopping distance, causing the vehicle to collide. The dealer has been notified.
When applying the ABS brakes the pedal will travel to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Please give any further details.
Abs brake problems; on wet road conditions, during normal braking, when applying the brakes, the system does its normal pumping, but does not stop the van as quickly as it should. The van goes another couple of feet before stopping. The brake system has been replaced twice within 2 1/2 year period. The second being about one month ago, with 58,000 miles on van.
Abs beakes; when applying the brakes in a panic stop, the vehicle brakes locked up, causing the vehicle to go into a skid.
Ea94038;the defective ABS braking system malfunctions, causes extended stopping distance which may result in a result. Dealer cannot determine problem.
