Driving the truck in my driveway with a landscape trailer attached, applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. One of the brake lines failed due to corrosion. Had to have all of the brake lines replaced.
2006 GMC Sierra brakes complaints

There is no warning the pedal goes to the floor and you don't stop. I had a 5th wheel trailer hooked to my 2006 gmc 2500 ext. Cab long bed sierra p/u with 62,459 miles on it. I was able to stop it with the trailer brakes and a scratch on my front bumper from a tractor trailer that was in front of me. I have owned over 200 cars + trucks since I started driving. I do all my one work on them and I never had a brake line fail, I will be 70 this year. It is ridiculous for an 8 year old truck to have rusted brake lines to fail. The worst part of this is that nobody notified the public that this was a problem when they gmc knows about this problem. I found a garage that fixed the two front lines. So we could get home. Then I inspected the other lines and ordered the complete set of stainless steel lines from ebay, when I removed the old lines they all were rusted at hidden spots two were close to failing. Why do they have to wait for some one to die before they notify the public there is a safety problem. This is gmc and our government (the federal safety agency) failing the people.
Applied brakes when on a downhill on ramp to merge into traffic. Brake pedal went to floor without slowing vehicle. Had to swerve off road to avoid a collision .had truck towed to dealer to repair rusted out brake lines $1750.00 est. Was told fuel lines also looked rusted $700.00 est.
Brake line blew out.
I have a 2006 gmc sierra with the same ABS issues that are recalled for older vehicles. Abs engages at low speeds when coming to a stop increasing stopping distances. I took it to dealer and they replaced the rear brakes. Truck has only 41000 miles on it, I wouldn't think the rear drum brakes would be worn out. I drove it home last night and to work today. Same problem still exists. Will recall be extended to include my vehicle someday?
When I went to start the truck in the morning, I put my foot on the brake pedal and it went to the floor. Got out and saw the brake fluid on my driveway. Examined the truck and found a steel brake line had rusted through and others had significant rust.
Truck has had an undercarriage rust issue at least since 2007. The fuel and brake lines must be replaced and the frame and suspension are deteriorating.
When slowing to complete stop, the ABS motor engages under 10 MPH on dry pavement. This causes the truck to take a few more feet to stop. Abs light comes on while moving at times.
Abs motor engages on dry pavement at low speeds when coming to a stop, about 10 MPH or less.
Antilock braking system (ABS) activates consistently as vehicle nears full stop. It's audible and you feel the pulsation in the brakes. The road conditions are normal and there is no reason for the ABS to activate.
