When brakes were applied pedal went to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance which caused a collision. Vehicle taken to dealer, brake dust removed and brake lining replaced, but brake problems stil exist. Owner believes problem is the ABS. *ak
While coming to a stop sign or to a red light or when slowing down, consumer stepped on brake pedal and hit a bump. Pedal went all the way to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance.
While pulling inside of the driveway and coasting along, engine just roared up and vehicle accelerated. Vehicle jumped over landscape timbers and hit basement wall. Also, front brakes locked up, but back wheels were still moving and in motion.
While driving and upon depressing brake pedal to make a normal stop, brakes held for a brief moment and then released, causing extended stopping distance. Also excessive amount of force was applied to the brake pedal in order to stop vehicle. Consumer has contacted dealer. Dealer replaced the master cylinder, but problem still occurs. Please provide any further details.
When stopping on a bumpy road, or when stopping and hitting a bump, brakes pulsate, or actually push back. This makes it very hard to stop. I almost hit a pedestrian yesterday morming on the way to work. I was almost stopped, hit a small construction trench in teh road, and my braked failed. By the time I let off the brake, and reapplied them, I was inches away from hitting that person! I had this vehicle to the dealer for repairs for this, shoutly after buying it. I was told that there is nothing wrong with my brakes. When I have an accident, I will then filke suit againt jones pontica / gmc, and general motors. This is dangerous, and needs to be fixed.
Both the brake and ABS lights came on. Per dealer the faulty piece causing lights to come on was the ebcm. The piece was on national back order, and would not be availalbe until 06/22. However, dealer did not assure the consumer that the brakes were totally safe. With faulty brakes, consumer has a fear of driving. Faulty brakes could cause an accident.
Intermittently when applying brakes brake pedal would feel spongy, resulting in extended stopping distance. Vehicle has been in dealer shop on two occasions, and problem still reoccurring.
Ongoing problem with applying brakes on rough or bumpy surface which causesed extended stopping distance. Also, a popping noise could be heard while applying brakes. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that it was a normal condition. Provide further details.
While slowing on rough or bumpy roads brakes fail for 7 - 10 seconds. Dealer claims this is normal for the ABS.
While applying the brakes pedal went down to the floorboard, and the truck kept traveling, causing driver to hit a fence. This happened on dry and smooth pavement. Truck was towed to the dealership. Dealership would not make any repairs unless repairs were authorized by gmc. Please provide any further information.
Abs brakes fail when you apply brakes when there is a bump in the road. I have had 14 failures in 2095 miles. The brake pedal drops down slightly and becomes solid, you can not push down anymore and the vehicle glides to a slow stop. It will not stop in an emergency in this case. The problem seems to be in the suspension and the ABS brakes. The vehicle vibrates and does not recover fast when you go over a slight bump in the road. At highway speed the whole vehicle and steering wheel vibrates. The plastic hub nuts always come loose when driving.
When brakes were applied pedal went to the floor, and vehicle kept rolling through an intersection. Dealer has been contacted.
Anti-lock brakes activate during normal braking in non-emergency situations at speeds under 30mph. Brake pedal goes to the floor making a chattering noise and stopping distance is increased. This problem prevents the driver from stopping vehicle before stricking another vehicle or entering an intersection at the risk of causing an accident. This is not how a "normal" ABS system operates and is a serious design flaw that gm needs to address before someone is needlessly injured or killed! I've had this truck for one month and I'm afraid to drive it now because of the faulty ABS brake system. The drivetrain makes a groaning sound while in 4wd mode and the truck sometimes doesn't want to move without great effort even on dry pavement. This condition does not exist when 4wd is disengaged. The truck has manual 4wd with 4.10 rear end with automatic transmission. This problem is not related to the ABS failure.
Brakes failed due to contamination and sever wear causing vehicle accident and injury.
The brakes have failed, I mean failed, no brakes on four different times. My truck is a death warrant waiting to be issued . Dealership states there is no problem with it. On jan. 5, 2000 I went through a major intersection because I could not stop because of having no brakes. I pulled to the next parking lot, and caled dealer to come and get it. That this was the last time I would put myself nor my family in danger with this truck. They have picked this truck up 3 different times and have not fixed problem.
1.) anti lock brake system seems to activate and not allow vehicle to stop nearly as quick as if there was no anti lock system. This has occurred 5 to ten times, but has not resulted in a wreck. 2.) clunking noise in rear end area - sounds line excessive backlash in rear end.
When driving on a rough / bumpy pavement, the anti-lock braking system fails. It does not respond when the pedal is applied, but the vehicle will drive on smooth pavement, brakes work fine. Dealer has been contacted. *ak
Abs brakes failed which caused a crash. Pedal went to the floor when applying the brakes. Problem was reported to the dealership. The vehicle has not been repaired.
When hitting bumps in the pavement brakes failed, causing extended stopping distance . Please give any further details.
When braking in an emergency situation brakes work fine at first, but when it hittting an uneven surface, the brakes won't work. Abs brakes come on at about 7mph on even surface, and the tend fail to hold vehicle speeding up.
When applying the brakes and trying to stop, brakes lock up. Consumer presses the pedal hard, trying to stop vehicle.
Has occuring ehaust leak, service wont fix. Using brakes while slowing and hitting bump in road, brakes will pulseate very hard and vechile will not stop
Since purchased vehicle experience vibration and recovers very slow from a bump in the road which is causing the anti-lock brake system to fail due to the suspension bouncing while braking .
Abs brake failure is occurring approximatley 7 - 10 times per week under moderate braking.
Driving under 15 MPH applied the brakes, and there was some type of chattering noise coming from the brake pedal. Pedal released, and within three to four seconds, and it was back to normal. *ak
