Service Brakes Problems of Chevrolet Express 1500

The brake system completely failed. The peddle goes to the floor. There is still fluid in the reservoir to proper level but all brakes failed at the same time no stopping ability. Had to use parking break to slow and down shift to first gear. This flaw could have killed or injured every passenger/occupant (s) as well as harmed other drivers on roadway/motorway. There should be some type of safety measure to aid in stopping even if a partial failure. But this is a whole system failure. Please advise.

My spouse was driving our family south on hwy 101 at about 50 mph near arch cape, oregon on June 25, 2022 during 93 degree weather. Just before falcon cove state park as we were going up a hill and people were braking to turn into the park, my spouse yelled "we have no brakes". The brakes were hard as a wall and he was using both feet to get us to slow down. I could not feel us slowing. It was utterly terrifying. He did finally get us slowed down likely due to the weight we were carrying and the hill. But the brakes were so terrible we couldn't even park in a space because we might go down the cliff (hill/slope). We had no cell service and I couldn't get anyone to help us so I ran up and down hills trying to get service in that heat. Finally, my spouse said we'd have to get back into the truck and drive to get service. I reluctantly let him drive us slowly to the next and last lookout at the top of the mountain. I still didn't have enough bars to call out but we couldn't go further because it would be a downslope with a cliff to the ocean on the right. I called 911 who patched me to a tow. The mechanic said it was the brake vacuum pump. He ordered the part and saved it. We were charged $595. 27 for the tow, parts, and labor. I researched and learned of the gm recall on the brake pump for 3. 7 million vehicles and your investigation that closed 4/2022. It appears they were supposed to reprogram so there was more brake time or notice of failure. I contacted the dealer where we religiously service (I believe this repair is the only time anyone else serviced this vehicle). I had them send me the complete service history (warranty and recall) included for both of our trucks as they both fall under the recall. I could not find this reprogramming. I asked them to point it out and they're unresponsive. I'm still on vacation but clearly this is dangerous for everyone on the road. I have so much more to say and not enough characters remain. Reopen this investigation now!!!.

I was traveling down a hill at about 35-40 mph. When the abs system kicked in for some reason and the brakes went stiff and I could barely stop. Mechanic said wheel sensor, it was changed and I have the same problem. The abs kicks in at the worst times when you are slowing down coming to an intersection the brakes go stiff. Almost got killed.

Purchased a new 2008 chevy Express 1500 within 9 mos had abs and stability traction light on. Tech replaced wheel sensor. Happened again 6 mos later, 4/7/09 and 5/15/10. On my last visit they said they found a short, but the lights are on again 2 weeks later. The safety issue is when the abs and stability traction light is on (and only when traveling below 30 mph) when applying brakes, the abs automatically will allow the brake pedal to go down almost to the floor. This in turn allows the vehicle to travel additional distance when trying to stop. This happens on perfectly level, smooth and dry circumstances. One of the mechanics at the dealer's service department stated to me that this problem exists in many chevy vans up to and including 2010. Obviously they have no clue as to what is causing this malfunction. Some other mechanics have said they feel it might be a computer glitch. It is only of matter of time, and probably has already happened, when trying to stop - rear ending a vehicle or striking a pedestrian who has stepped out in front. Please advise as to what course of action should be taken with gm.

Abs engages at slow speed, at tail end of braking, even on dry surfaces. This has been going on for at least eight months. Started sometime in early summer/late spring 2008.
