Abs brake system fails in slippery conditions. Brake pedal goes almost to floor and truck feels like it wont stop . Have almost had accidents a few times when there should have been plenty of time to stop. When this happens there is a growling nois from under the car. Front brakes wear out rear brakes hardly worn after 85000 miles as though they are not being used. Wiper moter stopes intermittantly in rain . High speed does not work. When not working cannot drive car in rain . Have had stop while driving which is dangerous. Found that you have listed a recall . However the gmc web site did not offer this information. As second owner of record I should have been notified . My daughter was first owner and to my knowledge she was never notified of any recalls.
1995 GMC Sierra brakes complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
At any time while braking vehicle would pull to left. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information.
Deterioration of the inner linning of the front brake lines caused the brakes to lockup after applying. The left front brake was the only problem and when it would lockup it caused the vehicle to pull severly to the left. The first time the brake locked up it caused the vehicle to swerve into the on coming traffic.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Abs light came on/ABS failed to operate.
Front disc brake pads wear out too quickly. I only have 17,000 miles on the current pads and they are worn out. I contacted gmc. They say they are sorry but that's the way the brakes are on that year of truck. They say there is no after market fix for this. Gmc literature on their new 2000 sierra trucks say the pads are "4 times" larger than on previous trucks. This tells me gm was aware of a problem and corrected it on their new trucks but haven't done anything to assist owners of older trucks. I feel gm should be required to manufacture an after market caliper with larger pads for installation on older trucks in order to correct the problem with their undersized brakes. I tow a trailer and this has especially been a concern of mine due to the added weight going down the highway. I have a friend at work that has the same truck but his is a 1994 model. He says he has the same problem with his truck and he is not very happy with this situation either. As a side note, I purchased the truck from alfred matthews in modesto, ca., however I have been having all of my maintenance work performed by geweke gmc in manteca, ca. Because they are much closer to where I live. I have not contacted alfred matthews about any of these problems. I have only discussed these problems with geweke personnel. Thank you.
