1999 GMC Sierra brakes complaints
Page 8 of 12: complaints 191 to 220 of 338, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brake failure. After slowing or stopping at an intersection or pulling into a parking spot, and after releasing the brakes, at reapplication the brake does not respond. The pedal does not respond, no depression takes place -- it feels like a rock! -- and the truck does not stop. After repeated attempts, the brake will eventually respond, in the meantime it is a hazardous situation.
While driving vehicle ABS and parking brake light illuminated. When this happened it caused brakes to lock up. Could be very dangerous in a sudden stop. Please provide any further information. Ts.
The ebcm (electronic brake control module) has failed on my 1999 gmc sierra. It has less than 40000 miles on it, and from information obtained online, this appears to be quite a commonplace event on these vehicles. The ABS light comes on, and the pump will run even with the ignition key removed.
While driving at a low speed brake pedal froze and wheel continued turning. This caused vehicle to have extended stopping distance. Dealer notified. Please provide additional information. Ph
Consumer stated the anti-lock brake system module was engaging unnecessarily while driving and continued to run when vehicle was turned off. Consumer had to pull ABS fuse to disengage, this resulted in loss of ABS functionality.
The ABS motor continues to run after shutting the vehicle off. This causes the battery to run down making the vehicle inoperative. The ABS system no longer is operative. The cost to repair is approximately $1000. Ts
1999 gmc sierra 4x2, auto, short bed. The ABS motor came on an stayed on. I could not get the motor to shut down until I either pulled the ABS fuse, or disconnected the motor under the truck. I have talked to the local dealrer and he has had several issues like this as well as many that are doucumented on the federal safety agency website. Due to the numerous complaints and sefverity of this issue I think that gmc needs to issue a recall on this system. Respectfully submitted, gary easley
Abs control module failed. Module continued to run after vehicle was turned off. $1000 to repair. No recall inspite of numerous complaints to the federal safety agency. Dt
While driving the driver heard a loud noise coming from underneath the drivers side door. The noise continued after the vehicle was turned off. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealership to have it serviced. The technician indicated that the automatic braking module failed. *ts
I think the ABS system should be recalled I've talked to several truck owners and the 1999 all are having ABS failure. The pumps keep running even after the trucks are shut off. I took it to the dealer in hanover and they said it would be over $1000.00. That I would be better off leaving the fuse out so much for ABS. Dt
Consumer staes when braking on rough pavements it causes extened stopping distance and a clicking sound can be heard. Dealer has not been able to duplicate or locate the problem. Feel free to provide any further information.
My 1999 gmc sierra developed, over the past four months complete failure of the brake rotors on all four wheels. The brakes pads did not fail but they caused a groove to form in all four brake rotors. The rotors are pitted, rusted and worn below minimun thicknesses on all four wheels. The brake rotors are flaking and chipping around the edges and display a groove that is more than 3/8" below the normal thickness of the rotor. The rotors appear on first glance to have come off of a truck that is very much older than three years. The sierra truck is also exibiting the same characteristics as the trucks mentioned in the federal safety agency campain id number 00v232008. When the truck is almost at a complete stop, the ABS system activates and the vehicle shudders to a stop. The description in the above mentioned id number is the exact behaivior that promted me to take the truck to my mechanic, this truck was checked in april of 2002 and no brake problems were spotted. The repair job cost more than $700 to repair and my mechanic stated that he believes that the brake rotors should not have failed in this manner, that the type of failure that is indicated usually occures with worn brake pads, the brake pads in this case were not worn to the point of needing replacement.
Anti-lock brake system failed, resulting in loss of anti-skid control.
While driving ABS light would come on, and then brakes would go to standard brakes. Abs pump would fail to work. This does not prevent vehicle from skidding. An independent mechanic checked brakes out. Please describe details.
Anti- lock brake motor stays on and makes a loud noise causing brakes to be inoperative.*ak
Ebcm pump motor relay stuck open...caused pump to run continuously. Abs light came on. Car battery has to be disconnected to stop pump until part can be fixed. Nlm
Anti-lock brake motor continues to run after the ignition is shut off. Dash lights confirm ABS failure. Removed ABS fuse to stop motor. Ebcm confirmed bad. @$800. Just for part. Belive that this failure is premature and considering the number of complaints that I see posted at just your web site I think gm should fix this part under an extended warranty.
While driving stepped on brake pedal and instead of slowing down ABS sytem locked up. Dealer was notified.
While driving, the ABS light illuminated, consumer returned home and discovered that the ABS motor was still running.*ak consumer was informed by the dealership that this is a known problem and that the brake system will still perform however the ABS probably would not.
While driving ABS light will stay on, and ABS motor will make a loud clunking noise.
When vehicle was turned off heard a noise. Had it check out. Anti lock brake sensor went out.
Gmc sierra has been in shop to many times to keep track of. Truck also has a problem with sticky throttle body which has been dangerous.gmc gave extended warranty in 2000 bacause of problems also issued customer appreciation certificate if I wanted to buy new gm product.service manager told me to cut my losses and but a new one.gmc will not do a thing for me. Contacted nys attn. General about problems.gmc now has their legal core calling me at home . I have asked them to buy vehicle back research the parts and assembly to protect other owners. Gmc says sorry . I asked them how they could warranty rust thru for 100,000 but could not protect ABS from corrosion, gmc response was hey you live in new york state. And they are under no financial obligation what so ever
Abs module stays on whether vehicle is running or not, ABS will still be active, and causes the battery to run down. Dealer notified.*ak consumer unplugged the module which caused the brake light to come on. To turn the brake light off, consumer had to replace the module.
While applying brakes there is a loud ticking noise coming from underneath vehicle. Dealership is aware of problem.
While parking on a hill and without automatic transmission. Applied parking brake, and it didn't hold. Contacted dealer.
Abs motor would remain on after turning off vehicle. Dealer contacted. *ak there was a recall issued in 1998 for this defect. Consumer was pulling a 1994 airstream which caused the brake control on the trailer to quit operating. When approaching a red light, the trailer pushed the vehicle approximately 100 feet. If there had been an auto in front of the vehicle there would have been an accident.
When I started my truck I heard a humming noise and my ABS and brake light was on. I turned off the truck and the humming noise continued. I looked under the truck and heard the ABS module was still on. So I pulled the fuse to the ABS system and and the module stopped running. I drove the truck to see if there were going to any problems and found there to be none other than the ABS not engaging. So I drove the truck home and parked it hoping to get it to the dealer on monday. I checked online to see if anyone else has had this problem and I can see it is a pretty common problem. I was wondering if anyone had found out if this was a recall yet or if gm has decided to pick up the charge for this problem since it so consistent with these trucks or if someone may have a fix for the problem other than replacing the part because of the expense involved. If so please e-mail at [email protected] .
Abs system failure light on, pump motor runs with key in off position.
Abs motor failed. Contacted dealer and he said he thought there was a recall for that and he would look it up. Caleed and said no, recall was the federal safety agency 00v055/gm recall # 00013, and this was for the 2000 sierras. He further explained that this was for a spring clip that might render the ABS motor useless. I went ahead and had the ABS motor replaced for $1087.34. I wrote to gm and asked for some type of compensation do to the low milage and the fact that the lease wasn't even up on the vehicle. They responded with a resounding "get lost". I contacted the dealer and through a mechanic, I found out that numerous of these motors have failed. I contacted a competitor dealer and was told that the failure of the ABS motor was "not uncommon" but they would not give a figure. My question is to you, do you have the means to inquire how many of these motors have failed? Also if the recall was for 2000 sierra's, with enough complaints, could that also include some other year models? The dealer has been unresponsive as to making any type of compensation. I feel the obsolescence of this part is much too soon, in my case 57,000 miles and 3 years of driving this vehicle. Thank you.*ak recall_id = 10178
