1st time - stopping at dealer. Pedal went to floor. Line from abs to lf brake failed. Dealer quoted ~ $1000 to replace brake lines. Replaced failed section. 2nd time: about to exit freeway. Pedal went to floor and entered ramp much too fast. Was able to stop with emergency brake and some hydraulics. Line from master cylinder to abs module failed. Replaced line. 3rd time - exiting turnpike. Brake line from abs to rear brakes failed. Pedal went to floor. Not true there is braking available when one line fails. Replaced line. Guess I should have learned after first failure.

8 Abs Brake Fail problem of the 2000 Chevrolet 1500

Abs brakes fail to stop the vehicle as advertised if any type of road surfaces, other than perfectly smooth, are encountered during the braking process. This is true for Chevrolet trucks as well as Dodge pickups. I have friends who have these two brands and they have had the same problem with stopping on even slightly rough road surfaces. Have you received any other complaints like this? thanks in advance, chris flory.
