Brake Disc Caliper Problems of GMC Jimmy

Noticed dampness around the left rear brake hose to rear brake caliper. We took our vehicle to be inspected and were told that there are "2" copper washers that are causing the leak and requires replacement. We were also told that this is quite a common problem. If this was not repaired and the leak continued, it would have resulted in the loss brake performance, loss of vehicle control and injury to the occupants.

Pulled out of parking lot on to road. Applied brakes while approaching a light. Even with both feet on the brake pedal the 1996 GMC Jimmy barely came to a stop from a distance of 6 car lengths going 30 mph. Narrowly avoided rear-ending vehicle in front of me. This was not the first time but the closet encounter. Before this incident I had the front rotors, disk pads, calipers, front flex lines, booster, vacumm hose and connector on engine to booster, master cyl. , and rear brake linings - replaced. Since then I had the vacumm checked from the engine to the booster and was told the booster was bad. I had the booster and masterc replaced again. Still no change. Pedal goes too far down and feels like it hits a brick followed by very weak breaking action.

2000 Jimmy envoy is one big piece of junk!!!!!.

Consumer was going 30mph on a dirt road and suddenly applied brakes to keep from hitting an animal. Vehicle spun around, and wheels locked up. Consumer went to 1 dealer, who said there was no problem with rear brakes. Consumer was pulling into a dirt driveway and noticed left rear wheel had locked up. Wheel left tracts in dirt. Consumer decided to get a 2nd opinon on problem. After plugging the vehicle, it showed there was a problem with abs system. Dealer explained how this was first year that vehicles have the integrated abs, and were having alot of problems with them. Also, rear rotors were frozen and calipers needed to be replaced. Consumer states there has been 7 brake repairs, consumer is still experiencing abs problems. Center link and idler arm wore and were replaced, consumer is still experiencing steering problems.

Brake caliper froze/stuck, causing wearing of pads and rotors.

Brake calipers are causing premature wear of pads and rotors, replaced calipers however continue to wear unevenly.

Brake caliper locks up causing premature wear of the pads and rotors.
