The abs brakes on my 1999 GMC Sierra will randomly come on when stopping at about 5 - 10 mph. I have to release the brake and reapply in order to get the truck to stop. I have found numerous other GMC Sierra owners have the exact same problem. As recommended by the other owners, I disabled my abs by removing the fuse that controls the abs unit.

Anti-lock brake system activates at low speed and the truck will not stop. The "brake" light stays lit on the dashboard. I understand many GMC trucks were recalled for this same exact problem, but it begins with trucks a couple of years newer than my 1997 Sierra truck.

1999 GMC Sierra. Called GMC, and they told the consumer that the truck was made in canada, and the consumer would have to go to canada to have the truck fixed because the recall was issued for canada. Was not aware that the vehicle was made for canada. The consumer would like to have the vehicle fixed in the united states. Found out about the recall from the newspaper. The consumer felt that if there had been a recall on vehicle he should have received a letter. Ithe consumer bought the vehicle through a GMC dealer in the united states. Should have been told from the GMC dealer that vehicle was imported from canada. The consumer just wanted brakes fixed and the recall completed.

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.

Abs motor keeps running had to pull fuse to get to stop. Is going to cost over $900 to fix the problem. Truck only has 50000 miles on it and has had extremely good care. Do not think that this is my problem as there is many reports of this happening to these vehicles.

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.

Failure of brake system to operate, this flaw exists in millions of general motors trucks and SUV's I am willing to give details to NHTSA engineers but would like to keep my name private from GMC to protect those family members employed by GMC.

1999 GMC Sierra VIN # 1gtek19r8xr501375 - anti lock braking system is activating when braking at low speeds causing the vehicle to not stop properly - gm has a recall on this - 05068 - but they say that our vehicle id number is not included that it is a new recall and to wait to see if that changes - to date there have been no accidents or injuries but we were lucky.

My 1999 GMC, Sierra truck does not stop properly at very low speeds due to the anti lock braking system, the anti lock system engages when there is no reason for it to do so, snow it is much worse than dry pavement and nearly caused me to hit another car once. This happens routinely when stopping at slow speeds on dry pavement.

The contact owns a 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 hd/diesel. The contact complained about a steering problem. . The steering vibrated when making lower speed turns. This happened when moving or sitting still. It has been fixed approximately 4 times, and it recurred after about 3,000 miles. At 10,000 miles when applying the brakes the steering locked. Also, when applying the brakes the contact lost the brake pedal, it got soft and spongy. They did not pulsate. Also, this affected the steering, the vibration in the steering, and the brakes, which were separate issues. The dealer could not duplicate the problem. He said there was a service bulletin concerning this issue, but the contact's vehicle VIN was not included.

Anti lock brakes activate at low speeds and truck will not stop. Ref:pe 05020 NHTSA investigation.

The contact states the abs system is bad. It almost caused an accident on 8-20-05 because brakes went to the floor. There was no braking power. Had to shift the car into park to get the vehicle to stop. The contact was going very slowly when this happened. This was the first incident of this kind. The dealer repaired the vehicle. They replaced the wheel bearings, the hub, the rotors, and a cable that was attached to the wheel bearing on 8-22-05. It seems to be fixed as of now.

At slow speeds (below 10 mph) the anti lock brakes mess up and truck can not be stopped. Would happen once in a while, now it happens every time I try to stop. Almost ran into several people. I can not believe this problem has not been a recall considering that all the people I have talked to that have had the same problem and that I am sure there has had to been several accidents involving this. A dealer told me to pull the anti-lock fuse until I get it fixed which I have. Truck now stops but I no longer have anti-lock brakes.

During low speed breaking my antilock brakes kick in causing the my truck not to stop when intended.

The contact stated that when applying brake pressure at low speeds the abs would activate followed by a rubbing noise. There was NHTSA recall 05v379000 involving the anti lock brakes. This vehicle had the same failure as indicated in the recall. However, this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for repairs. After the repairs were performed there have been no further problems. The consumer was led to believe he would receive reimbursement. Updated 11/29/05.

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.

My truck is a 2002 GMC Sierra, and is having the same problems as the antilock braking system recall. I was told that since I don't live in the eastern states that I don't fall into the recall. It is having purging problems on the antilock, and is having problems with stopping at different speeds, the brakes don't seem to want to stop it.

I own a 1999 GMC Sierra pick up. The brakes will stop working during braking. This has occurred at various times. I have had the brakes checked. I have called the dealer about this. They told me there are no reported problems. After checking the web, I noticed that the problem I have is the same problems that have been recalled in canada on these same trucks. What can be done to correct this problem in the us? I have talked with other GMC owners ,same problems.

Contact states the abs brakes come on at below 10 mph. It causes the truck not stop. It has been happening for the last month. It has gotten progressively worse. There are no lights that come on inside the truck when this occurs. He has written a complaint to the manufacturer, and they told him to take it to the dealer. He has not taken it to a dealer yet. He has researched this and knows it is an ongoing problem.

As I am coming to a stop near 10 mph, the anti lock brake system begins to pulse and the brake pedal becomes spongy and it is hard to stop without pumping the brakes. This is only occurring at speeds under 10 mph without any slippery road conditions.

Contact states the brakes have a very soft pedal. It doesn't seem that the anti- lock brake system is working. To make the vehicle stop the pedal has to be pressed all the way to the floor. The service dealer states this is a characteristic of the vehicle. The weather conditions have no influence on the braking capability of the vehicle. The consumer has contacted the manufacturer.

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.

Have 2002 GMC Sierra and the anti lock brakes are freezing or working at a slow speed or a stop. Have called garages and they don't have the recall numbers. So I have to wait until released. How long must I wait!!!.

The consumer stated the anti-lock pump went out on his 1999 GMC Sierra at 60,000 miles. The consumer had it checked by a dealer. The consumer contacted gm, and they said it would be $3,000. 00. The consumer has not had this fixed. The consumer was driving without the anti-lock brakes.

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.

Low speed abs activation on 2001 GMC Sierra (see investigation pe05020).

The consumer had difficulty stopping at low speeds. A few months later the problem recurred, but on the other side.
