The consumer stated while driving the 2000 GMC savanna vehicle experienced d the same problems as mentioned in recall 05v00500. While parking the van, coming back, and then putting it I into the reverse the power steering assist failed. Also, had brake problems. Had to allow extra space in between cars for the van to stop. Consumer called gm, and checked on the recalls , and was informed this vehicle was not included in the recall. Consumer only put on 1,500 miles on the van since purchasing it. The van was preowned and was equipped with handicap accessibility. The dealership was called, they found recalls, and t referred consumer to gm. The owner has not has this repaired. The brakes has also had problems. The brakes operated poorly, and could not get vehicle to stop. The mechanic determined that there was nothing wrong with the brakes.
Consumer had vehicle serviced 8 times. Each time rotors/brakes, and drums were repaired. Mechanic stated the shoes did not fit the drums. . Gm has technical reference dated 09/01/1999 tha thas them putting some part on. Every time they take it in to the shop it comes out with the same resukts. Consumer's deduction was the same as the mechanic, that the part is not sized rightly.
Brakes are applied at highway speed and vehicle vibrates. Pedal would go partialy to the floor, resulting in extended stopping, andcausing a collision.
Intermittently when brakes are applied at heighway speeds vehicle vibrates, pedal would goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping, and collision.
Consumer was traveling at 10mph while pulling out of the drive way. Then, consumer was applying brakes, and vehicle suddenly started to accelerate, gained speed before hitting two trees.
Van pulls to left on med. To hard stops, twice over center line of road, rotors are warped, rear brakes will not self adjust as they are supposed to do, excessive front pad wear.
While braking front brakes made noise and vehicle would not stop properly. Upon visual inspection brake pad had separated from backing plate and disintegrated.
Brakes are ineffective and consistent noise in steering system. Near misses.
Advising of need to investigate premature anti-lock brake activation on front wheels under following condition - below 20-30 mph light pedal application on "rippled" potholed paved road as in coming to stop sign on heavily traveled road. Either front wheel hitting bump activates abs which then shuts down that wheel then complete brake system (leaves no code) for 1-2 seconds & has led to inability to stop by appropriate place at intersection and what I would term several near accidents. This happens I repeat under light pedal application on front wheels at slow speeds with no load in truck bed with one adult & single passenger usuually my 9 yr old son. Can consistently duplicate if needed for demonstration. Dealer has been unable to answer other then "that is normal".
