Seven problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1999 GMC Savana. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I had to make a "panic stop". I pushed the brake pedal as hard as possible. Felt the vehicle shudder several times and felt what I assumed was the abs brakes cycling, then the vehicle just rolled forward. . . No braking at all was felt, resulting in a rear-end collision. I know that if I had properly functioning brakes, I would have stopped in a safe distance. When I felt the deceleration stop, I pushed even harder on the pedal, with absolutely no change in velocity and no more room for the pedal to move. There was at least 15 between vehiclesat this point,&. . I could /should have stopped safely, with no collision if the brakes had worked properly!.
When brakes were applied under normal stopping conditions pedal went to the floor, causing extended stopping distance, and resulting in a collision. Prior to incident dealer inspected vehicle.
Consumer was traveling about 20mph in good weather conditions and pressed on brakes & the abs brakes didn't work. Left front & right rear locked up. GMC was aware of problem and will investigate more.
When applying brakes during an emergency stop abs releases too much, and will not stop vehicle. Also, when accelerating from a stop brakes tend to stay locked for a short period of time, then release. Van has been taken to dealership twice for this problem. Dealership has not been successful in fixing the problem. Please list other vehicle identification numbers.
The brakes went all the way to the floor and could not stop the vehicle. Yh.
While driving vehicle, left wheel started to grab after applying abs brakes. Would make clunking sounds. Stopping distance is effective by abs brake problem. Is intermittent. Been to dealer numerous times & problem with abs brakes not corrected.
When making a normal stop vehicle was very hard to stop, causing extended stopping distance. Consumer contacted dealer, dealer determined the cause to be oil leaking onto the brakes. Also, dealer has replaced the drums and put new oil seals in axles. . Et.
