Brake Electric Antilock problems of the 2000 GMC Sierra - part 1

The contact owns a 2000 GMC Sierra truck. The contact stated that at relatively low speeds it is difficult to apply pressure to the brake pedal. This can cause increased stopping distances, which could result in a crash. He notified the manufacturer in reference to recall #05v379000, service brakes, hydraulic: anti lock. A representative stated that since his VIN was excluded, he was ineligible for a free remedy. No repairs have been made. The failure mileage was 108,000 and the current mileage was 110,000. Updated 10/13/09.

Vehicle: 2000 GMC Sierra abs activates everyday at least once when coming to a stop at low speed such as a stop sign, parking space etc. This has happened for the last 6 months. Pavement is dry. I must quickly release the brake pedal and push it again firmly to stop. I've bumped another car and my garage because of this. A recall is out for this, gm recall # 05068, NHTSA # 05v37900 but my state, wisconsin, is not included. We use massive amounts of salt here. Do I have to run someone over first? I want this fixed.

The contact owns a 2000 GMC Sierra pickup truck. When applying brake pressure at low speeds the brakes did not work. This was only at low speeds. There were no other problems with the brakes. The vehicle has not been to a dealer. A recall was issued, but it did not include this vehicle. It only covered the salt belt states. This truck was in a southern state. No repairs or corrections were done.

I own a 2000 GMC Sierra pickup 4x4. The vehicle has less than 100,000 miles. Within the last two months, the abs has activated without need more than forty times at low speed. Several times almost causing a accident! the dealerships I've talked to have done nothing. . As of late, I've seen on the news that gm and NHTSA is aware of the problem and is looking into it. Which is great, but the states they are looking at, isn't one I live in. This problem has gotten to the point I have disabled the abs for fear it will cause a accident! the snow is coming soon and I would like to have a braking system that works at 100% please do what ever you can to speed this process along. Myself and the owners of these vehicles are counting on you! thank you for your time jason zebrowski.

The contact states that he was having a problem with the abs activating at low speeds of 6 mph and below. This happened when the truck was braking. The contact spoke with his dealer, and they were aware of the problem. The contact was upset because his state was not included in NHTSA recall 05v379000 and gm recall 05068. The vehicle is a 2000 GMC ,sierra. The vehicle has been taken to two different dealerships. The contact has not had the vehicle repaired because he did not want to pay for the repairs. The contact has contacted gm about this problem but the refused to provide any assistance. Updated 11/29/2005 - the consumer had to remove the abs fuse so he could drive the vehicle. The technicians at the dealer were aware f the corrosion problem with the abs sensor. Minnesota and south dakota were excluded from the recall.

2000 GMC Sierra, the vehicles anti-lock brakes come on at low speed, when the consumer puts pressure on the brakes at for example 10 mph the abs kicks in, there are no other problems with the vehicle, there are no other previous problems with the vehicle.

The abs system in my 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup came on several times while braking on dry pavement, causing me to lose the ability to control my vehicle. After this happened a couple times I was more cautious when stopping, so accidents were avoided - however, before I was ablet to get my vehicle in for service there were several times when I was out of control. This only occurred when I was coming to a stop, and the vehicle had slowed to 5 mph or less. I would not be reporting this but for the fact that the mechanic at my brake shop said he has seen this same problem with several gm trucks of this age. Apparently the problem is that the abs sensor, built into the front wheel hubs, is not designed well enough to handle the exposure to road salt and sand common to the northeast. I was lucky that I did not get into an accident due to this problem. But others may not be as fortunate in the future. Also, due to the design of the hub/sensor, this repair is rather expensive (almost $400), so I was only able to afford repairs on one side. My mechanic said the other side will likely fail soon as well.

Was pulling into a parking spot doing around 5mph, put my foot on the brake and the antilock brake system activated causing my truck not to stop. Because my truck would not stop I hit the car in the parking spot ahead of me causing damage to the persons car. I am going to take my 2000 GMC Sierra to a certified gm dealership and have it looked at.

Antilock brakes engage at improper times at low speeds during braking. Effect is to limit braking effectiveness at low speeds. Nearly hit other vehicles and objects. Failure is intermittent but increasing in frequency. Considering disabling the antilock system.

I own a 2000 GMC Sierra truck that has become hazardous to drive due to repeated antilock brake problems. At slow speeds the antilocks will engage and remained engaged, preventing the truck from coming to a complete stop. The matter has been getting progressively worse over the last year. On several occasions I've come extremely close to sustaining substantive vehicle and property damage. As such, the truck is virtually undriveable for safety reasons.

Reduced braking when going slow over bumpy roads or rail road tracks. When braking in these conditions the abs will pulse for no reason and reduce braking.

I have a 2000 GMC serria truck. I have also incounter the abs fault when coming to a stop. The worst part is when parking in a parking lot with cars in front of you. The truck has marked decrease in stopping. I have also incountered where the pedal gets rock hard. I don't get a light on the dash or show codes. I have contacted the dealer and I was told that it could cost over $500. 00 to repair. I do not have that kind of money right know. I have been only driving my 3. 5 miles to work and back. We use my wifes car to go any where else.

At low speeds the abs would activate and then the vehicle would not stop, again this was at very low speeds like pulling into a parking lot or gas station. No accidents or strange sounds. Took to dealer, and replaced front hubs which costed $936. 67. No other problems occurred since that repair.

Anti-lock brakes activate at low speeds.

Vehicle tends to slow down slowly when the brakes are applied, especially when coming to an intersection, almost causing it to hit pedestrians. Consumer contacted manufacturer for check up.

When moving at low speed and when turning left abs system vibrated, and consumer could not stop vehicle. It happened on dry pavement. Dealer replaced abs sisnsors. Old parts are available for review.

Anti-lock brakes began activating over the slightest bumps in the road. One day pulling into parking space, anti-lock brakes activated and truck would not stop and hit the gaurdrail.

While driving 65 mph consumer applied the brakes and vehicle vibrated uncontrollably. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle. However, mechanic could not duplicate the problem.

Antilock system engages while coming to a slow stop happens almost constantly. Throttle sticks on initial contact.

When driving 10 mph consumer turned the steering wheel towards the right and it locked up. The brakes were also difficult to depress. The driver was able to control the vehicle. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership for inspection. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where they determined that the shaft in the power steering pump broke. The dealer also indicated that there were metal pieces in the abs fluid which probably caused the system to fail.

Intermittently while driving between 15 to 20 mph and applying the brakes. Pedal went all the way to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance.

Problems with my anti-lock brakes-vehicle will not stop at only 1/2 mph. This has happened numerous times and has caused me 1 accident,plus a 50% increase in my insurance-GMC says my VIN. Number is not included in any recalls in the year 2000. Why ,I would like to know.

The caller said abs kicked in at low speeds. She had two close calls. The caller had the problem fixed about two years ago, but problem recurred. There was NHTSA recall 05v379000 on abs brakes in other states, but not in caller's state. Dealer and manufacturer said her state was not included in the recall.

While applying the brakes brake pedal becomes very hard, and there are no brakes at all.

While driving and with no warning brakes went out, causing brake pedal to go to the floor, and vehicle experienced extended stopping distance, resulting in an accident. Dealer notified.

At low speeds abs brakes grab and don't stop vehicle when brakes are applied. Contacted dealer. All four disc brakes are flaking apart.

Loss of braking on bumpy or unpaved downhill slope. The brake pedal became stiff and the truck kept going right out of my driveway into 55 mph traffic luck being with me no cars or trucks were coming.

Abs has gone out, contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.

When pulling off road onto dirt, gravel, or grass at any speed above about 10mph, the brakes become unresponsive, vibrate, fade, fail to slow vehicle, and pedal pressure becomes excessive and seems to lock up. I believe there is a problem with the anti-lock system. Very scary! should this system engage under these circumstances. It is not, I repeat not, a panic stop situation, just normal "pulling off the road to stop" situations.

Consumer had to apply brakes, vehicle went over a bump, and there was not enough braking action to stop vehicle from hitting vehicle in front of consumer.

Consume r was traveling about 10mph on a side street making a turn inside of parking lot, applied brakes, and ran into a brick wall. Dealership was aware of problem.
