I own a 1999 GMC Jimmy that has had a history of brake problems since purchase. In August of 2005 we experienced "pulsation" of the brakes. Our mechanic told us that the abs system sensor is activating a low speeds. When we try to stop it activates and causes increased stopping distance. I see that there is a recall on 1999-2002 GMC trucks and SUV except Jimmy's. I find it hard to believe that this is not happening to other Jimmy's. This problem is very dangerous. I am going to see if the dealer/gm will pay for it. I sure hope so. I bet that gm did not recall the Jimmy because it sold the most of that vehicle !.

Intermittent abs brake problem. Sensor light would come on, indicating brake failure. Brake pedal felt spongy, and when applied, vehicle pulled to the right. Vehicle has been in / out of dealer shop on several occasions. Major repairs were made by replacing all major parts. However, problem still occurs. Can NHTSA help in this matter.
