Service Brakes Problems of Chevrolet K1500

I was pulling into the driveway and the brake pedal went to the floor and I lost all my braking power. I was only going 5 mph so I used the parking brake to stop. I know my vehicle is old, but it does not have many miles on it and if that failure happened in traffic I would have had an accident. I thought it was suppose to be a duel circuit system, but it act like a single circuit with the lost of brakes. Rust was the culprit for the failure.

Break lines ruptured. Brake pedal went to floor.

Traveling 25 miles home on interstate van had been cutting out if I pull over stop wait, can re-start and go a while. Cant predict it seemed to stay running if I went faster big mistake moved to pass it quit, at interstate speeds almost had to go into medium after yelling and waving arms and praying I got back into the right lane pulled off onto shoulder and went to pieces. It then stopped more and more finally got home and have not touched it since. I have been reading about similar events and it seems it is the crankcase positioning sensor. I am just happy to be alive. Need to fix it and sell it. Thanks for listening I am senior citizen.

Sudden loss of brake pressure. Upon inspections brakes lines rusted and failed. These should be made from non-corrosive material! thank gosh we were not going highway speeds when we lost brakes.

After I backed out of my driveway I started down the street and when I applied the brakes the brake pedal started to pulse and I had to really push hard to get the truck to slow down. Above 35 mph the brakes worked fine. This is the second time this vehicle has been for this same trouble. It happened around 20,000 miles and the dealer took care of the problem. The problem is the abs sensor. It gets dirty and either has to be cleaned or replaced. This can be very dangerous at slow speeds, under 35 mph. Iwas told there are no recalls. It was repaired at a Chevrolet dealer.

The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet K1500 suburban. The contact stated that the brake pedal would vibrate whenever the brakes were applied and the vehicle would experience and increased stopping distance. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes: antilock). The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 110,000.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet silverado K1500. While driving approximately 10 mph, the braking system failed without warning causing the contact to use the emergency brakes to avoid an accident. The dealer was contacted and stated that the wheel bearings needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The current and failure mileages were approximately 94,000.

Abs engages at low speed resulting in extended stopping distance. Or when stopped and brake pedal depressed vehicle will travel forward unless brake pedal is depressed further.

An unnecessary activation of the abs, the same as described in NHTSA recall #05v379000, has occurred numerous times with my 1997 Chevrolet K1500. I was unaware that this was a common problem, until recently. According to the majority of on-line, chevy owner forums I've read, this is not unusual in pre-1999 chevy trucks, yet recall #05v379000 doesn't cover them. In order to avoid a crash, I've disconnected the abs on my truck. This is clearly a safety issue that should be addressed.
