Brake pedal "went to the floor " without warning on my 1997 GMC suburban. Dashboard failed to show a "red" brake light until about 1 hour later when I checked brakes again. There was virtually braking ability when this happened. Car will be towed to dealer tonight. I have been driving cars for 50 years and have never seen anything like this. Whatever happened to "built in safety redundancy" to prevent something like this from happening ? luckily no one was hurt.

Brake failure due to malfunction of anti-lock brake system. Caused vehicle to coast through a red light at a busy intersection. Brake pedal went to the floor with no stopping capability. Anti-lock brake light on dash came on and stayed on. This has occurred

On Jan. 14, 2000. My abs and brake warning lights came on. Both the electronic brake control module and master cylinder were defective. They were replaced by dealer. Now brakes go to floor. Pull to rt, and are mushy. I think the replacement parts are defective, but the dealer says they won't do anymore. These brakes are still defective and make the vehicle a hazard to drive.
