Backing my truck down a boat launch to put a pwc in. As I applied the brake at the bottom of the ramp, the pedal went to the floor, losing all brakes. Since I was close to the water, by the time I got it into forward, it was already over the edge of the ramp into the water. Submerged up to the bottom of the roof. A total loss.

Vehicle is a 2002 GMC hd 2500 pickup truck with a duramax diesel engine, and 5 speed allison transmission while driving on surface streets, the power brakes and steering both went out simultaneously. Stopping required both feet on pedal, and steering was nearly impossible. Problem traced to the "hydroboost" and the power steering pump. Both were replaced along with the high pressure hose. Evidently, the pump failed to yield any boost pressure, which in turn rendered power steeling and brakes inoperative. A very dangerous situation. The tow truck that responded indicated that they have had multiple failures of the same items (87 ot 8 GMC hd trucks) and in blogs with other GMC/chevy diesel owners it appears to be a common defect. There were no noises, or other indicator of pending problems. Contact with the dealer revealed that " I should change the ps fluid every 2 years: (not in the maintenance section of owner manual).

When applying the brakes at low speeds the abs kicks on. I have researched this and there has been a recall from gm but my VIN number is not on the recall it falls under the year make and model and I only have 48,000 miles on the truck. The bulletin number is 05068c from gm.
We have a 2001 GMC 2500hd crewcab with the abs breaking problem. At slow speeds under 10 mph everytime you stop the abs activates not alowwing the truck to stop. Gm now has a recall on some models but refuses to fix this problem. This is my 19 yr olds sons truck this needs to be fixed by gm before he gets in an accident and kills himself or someone else. There are so many complaints on the internet about this problem. Why is there nothing being done with the vehicles outside of gm's recall. I am sick of company's making crap and not having to fix it.
2001 GMC 2500 hd abs goes off at low speed. Goes off 8 out of 10 times when stopping. Call dealer no recall on this product. Still driving until recall happens.
I have a 2002 GMC sierra 2500hd pickup truck that is exhibiting abs braking problems at low speeds. The abs system will engage and disengage at low speeds on perfectly dry driving surfaces. I was informed by a friend that he thought GMC had a recall on this issue. I researched on the web and found a recall that described this situation exactly. I contacted the local dealer and they said there was no outstanding recalls for my vehicle. I then contacted GMC directly (from a phone number listed on one of the web obtained recall notices) and they ran my VIN and said that my truck was not covered by the recall. I want to know how to get my truck and similar trucks included in the recall that apparently did not include my specific vehicle.
Right rear brake of 2002 GMC siverado 2500hd does not release completely. Rim gets hot and brakes smoke. Gm dealer on second service problem installed covers over the brakes to keep road grim out. This does not seem to fix the problem. Just dropped off truck for the third time with the same issues and they can not find any problems. Rim is destroyed due to heat and brake dust. Truck has 11,000 miles on it.
When the consumer made a stop, he noticed the trailer brakes did not work. The consumer then received a notice in the mail regarding the wiring harness in which GMC had switched two of the wires on the truck at the factory. The consumer purchased a new brake controller because it burned up .
