Seven problems related to brake antilock control unit/module have been reported for the 2001 GMC Sierra. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
: the contact stated that when the vehicle travels below 10 mph the vehicle goes into abs mode and the brakes don't work. The vehicle was taken to the dealers twice for the same replacement pertaining to the abs sensing unit and the front hub recall. The vehicle is currently presenting the same problems. Updated 7/25/2006 -.
Intermittent brake failure with abs & red brake warning light coming on at the time of failure resulting in intermittently no brakes. Dealer diagnosed part bpmv (hydraulic main brake control valve gm part#88964302 valve) failure caused by corroded wires. They were unable to repair wires only able to replace entire valve. Old part is available for your inspection.
Anti-lock braking system is activating at low speeds under normal braking conditions.
I am complaining and asking for further investigation into abs brake activations on my 2001 GMC 1500 Sierra. I read an article that many failures were occurring and that this was being investigated. Gm has recalled vehicles in canada along the "rust belt" I heard. I live in michigan and go through similar weather issues as canada and feel that the brake problems are also the same as the canadian issues. My abs brakes will activate almost daily and my vehicle is just outside of the warranty. I would encourage further investigation into this issue as clearly the same thing that has occurred in canada is also occurring here as well. With the added stopping distance as a result of the abs/brake failures, I do not want to see a senseless accident occur which could cause damage, injury or god forbid any deaths. Please feel free to contact me at home if you need further. Thank you for your time. Marco a. Hernandez olivet, mi (269) 749-9295.

Antilock brake system- very difficult to stop truck at low speeds. No accidents, but near accidents, and no injuries. Right front wheel speed sensors were replaced on 10/29/2003 and the left front wheel speed sensors were replaced on 10/08/2004. Both were replaced after the 36,000 mile warranty expired. Repeated failures of the truck bracking system to stop in sufficient time before panic set in!.
