Dt: contact states the brakes are failing below 5 MPH when the ABS tries to engage, the pedal goes to the floor, but the vehicle will not come to a complete stop. The service dealer did not inform the contact what specifically was wrong with the ABS.
2000 GMC Sierra brakes complaints
Page 5 of 9: complaints 101 to 130 of 228, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt: the ABS brakes are not working properly. The ABS system kicks in and the brake pedal goes to the floor. This is an intermittent problem, usually between 40-5o MPH *ak this is the fifth time that the brakes have failed. Consumer feels this is a dangerous situation and can cause a lot of stress because she has to constantly watch how she drives you drive , so if the brakes do fail she would be prepared to prevent a crash. *sb
Was pulling into a parking spot doing around 5mph, put my foot on the brake and the antilock brake system activated causing my truck not to stop. Because my truck would not stop I hit the car in the parking spot ahead of me causing damage to the persons car. I am going to take my 2000 gmc sierra to a certified gm dealership and have it looked at.
Abs brake system is causing truck to feel like it's not going to stop. I have it at the dealership now and they tell me both sensors have to be replaced. I only have approx. 22,000 miles on the truck. It's a 2000 sierra
Brake failure when applying brakes at slow speed over irregular( bumpy) surface. The ABS activates, the brake pedal goes almost to the floor and the vehicle does not stop within a safe distance.the vehicle was returned to the dealer and they cleaned the mounting surface for the ABS sensors. This was after two failures. The dealer wanted to charge me until I explained this is a design safety flaw and they agreed to collect from general motors. The brakes have failed in this same manner two (2) more times exactly as described above.
The consumer stated the ABS failed under 15 MPH. When pulling away from a stop sign or backing out of driveway the consumer felt a bit of shutter and also experienced an increased braking distance. The consumer stated it happened frequently as the sensor became worse. *jb consumer stated that ABS sensor had already been replaced previously. Consumer traded vehicle in for a new car and stated it's somebody else's worry now.
Dt: ABS light is coming on. Took vehicle to the mechanic who told the consumer there was a recall, when consumer called manufacturer, they stated that the VIN was not part of the recall.
2000 gmc sierra experienced brake failure. *mr the problem occurred as the consumer entered a parking space. The consumer firmly held his foot on the brake pedal and tapped the vehicle in front of him. The service department replaced the pads and rotors. The brake were intermittent. Rust were removed from the sensors. The left front sensor dropped out and was replaced.
I have a 2000 gmc sierra extended cab 4x4 z71. I believe I have the same problem with my ABS sensor as has been reported by others. I have not had an accident but I have had many close calls. I pulled the fuse for my ABS and now I do not have the problem, but am afraid my brakes will lock up in foul weather.
Antilock brakes engage at improper times at low speeds during braking. Effect is to limit braking effectiveness at low speeds. Nearly hit other vehicles and objects. Failure is intermittent but increasing in frequency. Considering disabling the antilock system.
I have a 2000 gmc serria truck. I have also incounter the ABS fault when coming to a stop. The worst part is when parking in a parking lot with cars in front of you. The truck has marked decrease in stopping. I have also incountered where the pedal gets rock hard.I don't get a light on the dash or show codes. I have contacted the dealer and I was told that it could cost over $500.00 to repair. I do not have that kind of money right know. I have been only driving my 3.5 miles to work and back. We use my wifes car to go any where else.
Dt: the brake light and anti- lock brake light on the dash comes on and the brakes are spongy. The consumer has not experienced brake failure yet. The consumer has taken the vehicle to dealer and they can't find anything wrong. The manufacturer has not been notified.
Reduced braking when going slow over bumpy roads or rail road tracks.when braking in these conditions the ABS will pulse for no reason and reduce braking.
I own a 2000 gmc sierra truck that has become hazardous to drive due to repeated antilock brake problems. At slow speeds the antilocks will engage and remained engaged, preventing the truck from coming to a complete stop. The matter has been getting progressively worse over the last year. On several occasions I've come extremely close to sustaining substantive vehicle and property damage. As such, the truck is virtually undriveable for safety reasons.
Anti-lock brakes activate at low speeds
Dt: at low speeds the ABS would activate and then the vehicle would not stop, again this was at very low speeds like pulling into a parking lot or gas station. No accidents or strange sounds. Took to dealer, and replaced front hubs which costed $936.67. No other problems occurred since that repair.
Anti-lock brakes chatter and fail to stop on my 2000 gmc sierra pickup truck at anything under 10mph.this started last october. The dealership quoted $480 to correct. Saved a bunch of money by unplugging the fuse for the ABS sytem. Stops fine now. I almost hit the back of my garage wall and stopped cars in front.
2 separate occasions for anti-lock brake failure on gmc 2000 sierra 1500 for corrosion, 7/1/2004 and 10/6/04. Replaced hubs. Vin 2gtek19t8y127
Brake failure
Anti-lock brakes kicking in at low speeds (under 10 MPH) when coming to a stop causing unexpected elongated stopping distances. Had to pull fuse to disable the ABS module in order to brake normally (but w/o ABS). Per gmc diagnostic, speed sensors not putting out correct reading at low speeds. Gmc dealer replaced both front and bearing & hub assemblies. Truck out of warranty but dealer picked up half the cost, and I paid $352.17. Filed complaint with gm - problem file # 1-236485201.
Anti-lock brakes began activating over the slightest bumps in the road. One day pulling into parking space, anti-lock brakes activated and truck would not stop and hit the gaurdrail.
Brakes fail below 5-8 MPH.
Antilock brake problems on my 2000 gmc sierra pickup. Hard to stop vehicle at at low speeds [under ten miles per hour.]
Vehicle: 2000 gmc sierra, ext. Cab, 4wd, less than 19000 miles. Vehicle exibited intermittant low-speed antilock brake activation. Although there were many "close calls" especially when the antilock motor would activate upon initial brake application (very low pressure in hydraulic lines), no damage was caused to the vehicle or other property. A potential dangerous situation exists with these heavy vehicles. Low output from right front ABS sensor was diagnosed. I replaced entire hub and sensor assembly. The symptom is now gone. The old part is still in my posession for inspection.
Failure of the ABS system on my 2000 gmc sierra pickup. Abs would acctivate at slow speeds and would make stopping truck very hard.had to de activate ABS system so truch was useable.dealer stated that problem was due to region of country that the truck was used in and was not their problem!
Antilock brakes engage at low speed, like when coming up to a stop sign, or when pulling up to a drive thru window.
Anti-lock brake system malfunction
Abs malfunctioning ABS would kick on due to a bad vehicle speed sensor causing a lengthing of stopping distance which could lead to accidents. *ak as a temporay fix I pulled the fuse for the ABS controller to eliminate the leghtened stopping problem
There would be extended stopping distance when stopping at any speed. Dealership informed/repaired the rusted rear brake pads/disc. *ak the rear rotors were heavily corroded with pieces breaking off which reduced the braking surface to less than 50 %. *jb
2000 gmc sierra has problems with brake rotors, engine failing to restart, and the passenger cab was not level.*mr shims were installed to make the cab level. The rear rotors were crystallized and flaking off which caused pulsation while braking. The ABS sensor failed which resulted in intermittent brake loss. The gas pedal became stuck at times.
