Steering Problems of GMC C1500

Traveling at 40 mph the vehicle has failed to come to complete stop and keeps skidding. Truck started to skid side ways,brakes gave out and would not function properly. Truck kept skidding for about half mile before brakes worked and was able to control the suburban. The brake pedal went all the way down and pumped it several times but would not work. Seems like abs module,brakes are good. Just abs has failed at different times. Suburban jumps and keeps going when stopped. Fails to make complete stop even at low speeds.
