When I pulled into a left turn lane and tried to apply the brakes the pedal went nearly to the floor and I had no brakes luckily there were no other cars on the road or in the intersection at the time so I went on through and there was no accident, I was camping at the time and I got the truck back to the campground when I backed the truck into the campsite and applied the brakes they started working normally, I took the truck to the dealer and they said that they could find nothing wrong they even said that they have had several other vehicles do the same thing and could not find anything wrong with them and that this problem was normal for the vehicle.

There were no warnings prior to the incidents and the vehicle had no problems restarting. The dealer could not duplicate or resolve the problem. *ak updated 11/16/2006 - there were subsequent problem restarting the vehicle, and as many as 3 to 5 stalling episodes per week. Not all incidents occurred while traveling. Some incidents occurred while at idle, and at a stop. Complete loss of power steering and brakes occurred when the vehicle stalled.

The dealer diagnosed the problem as a faulty transmission selector position sensor and replaced it. The ABS activated while driving on dry pavement.

Antilock system activates on my 2002 gmc serria as stated in the recall the federal safety agency campaign number 05v379000. Gmc says my vehicle by VIN number is not covered under this recall. My VIN # is [xxx]. I've had a couple of near accidents because of this. I also tow a 36' fifth wheel camper in the summer time. *nm updated 07/17/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Unwanted antilock brake activation. Same as indicated on the federal safety agency campaign # 05v379000. Was told by gmc my vehicle was not part of above recall with no reasonable explanation give as to why.
Gm recall #05068 anti- lock causing increased stopping distances, gm is only repairing this problem on 1/2 ton products due to the fact it is a simple inexpensive repair. I own a 3/4 ton truck with the exact same problem but due to the fact a repair consists of replacement of the front wheel bearings they (gm) have chosen not to include 3/4 ton in this recall. I have on several occasions had increased stopping distances due to the sensor failure, my dealership said they can repair gm's defect at a price of $800.00 to me.
Dt: the contact complained about a brake problem. Rear rotors rusted. Dealership said that this was normal wear for the rear rotors. The gm customer service told him to take it back to the dealer, and all they would tell him was that he needed to replace rotors and rear brake pads because they could not turn them over. *ak left rear axle seal leaked. The slip yoke and rear u-joint on the rear driveshaft were replaced because they were causing a chattering feeling when the wheel was turned.
Right rear brake of 2002 gmc siverado 2500hd does not release completely. Rim gets hot and brakes smoke. Gm dealer on second service problem installed covers over the brakes to keep road grim out. This does not seem to fix the problem. Just dropped off truck for the third time with the same issues and they can not find any problems. Rim is destroyed due to heat and brake dust. Truck has 11,000 miles on it
The brake line failed, which caused the vehicle to experience extended stopping distance. *jb the brake line contained a bend, which was susceptible to being snagged. The consumer repaired the brake line himself.
