Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of GMC Safari

On vacation abs light would come on during driving. When braking, just before coming to a stop, more travel in the pedal and brakes chattered. Abs light might be on or off during braking. Went to dealer, right front sensor erratic. Replaced right front sensor. Works good again. Van has 32,000 miles.

The caller had to pump brakes to get vehicle to stop. Abs light on dashboard came on and off. It started without warning. There is a recall on the abs for other vehicles, but not on this model. Manufacturer gave the caller a claim number and said to take it to the dealer. The dealer claimed this vehicle was not recalled, and the caller would have to pay to get it fixed. Caller spoke to marama at GMC, she gave him claim #1360140806.

Since the middle of last year, we experienced a problem w/abs brakes. When you would slow down & get to about 20 mph, the van would start to lock up rendering the vehicle out of control & unable to stop. We took it to our usual mechanic who determined the sensor on the driver side was bad & replaced it. That lasted about 6 months & we had the same problem reoccur. Again, our mechanic looked at it (pulling his hair out mind you) & determined that there was unequal voltage, so he replaced both sensors. Now again we started having the same problem. As of today, the abs light is on & the system is not functioning. We are not having any problems stopping now. Anyway, I've done some research & noticed that a good number of gm vehicles have had abs recalls, 1 story I read was the exact same problem. I requested several things from gm. 1) direction to go now; 2) reimbursement for these expenses(approx $800); 3) arrangements to have this problem corrected the right way & 4)a recall be placed on this particular vehicle also. If there was a recall placed on it, we did not receive it in the mail. Unfortunateley, I was sent a reply basically saying that the 1996 model was not included in any recall. If I feel there's a failure, then I should visit a local dealer to have it checked out (at my own expense probably). There's an obvious track record with this abs system, however it doesnt seem like they want to take responsibilty for it.

Abs light would come on/ pedal jerked, and there were no brakes. Contacted dealer. He said that it was a sensor that needed to be reset. Replaced computer module. Vehicle has been dealer about five times, and is still at the dealer.
