general problems of the 2000 GMC Sierra 1500

No wreck.

Tl the contact owns a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500. While driving at a low rate of speed, the brake pedal would not engage unless excessive force was applied. When the contact applied pressure to the brake pedal, the abs engaged. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 190,000.

Takata recall.

Went to stop and abs came on and pavement was dry and now it comes on every time you put on brakes and slow down to 5 or 6 mph . . .

I put my foot on the brake pedal to start the truck and the pedal went all the way to the floor. Fortunately the truck was parked. I had the car towed to the gm dealer and had the lines fixed for $890. 00.

Multiple incidences of steel break line corrosion, resulting in loss of fluid pressure, and therefore loss of braking ability. This has happened 3 different times already. Luckily I drive country roads with little other traffic. Obviously this is a repetitive and serious issue for many other owners of these vehicles, as evidenced by the sheer number of complaints regarding the same issue filed to NHTSA for this vehicle. Does NHTSA even read or evaluate the volume and seriousness of complaints on the same issue? how many lives must be lost before this becomes a recall?.

I was driving in medium traffic when a vehicle in front of me stopped quickly and I applied my brakes. Then I noticed the peddle go down to the floor. That was the only warning I received and so I immediately drove home pumping my brakes when I needed to stop and tried to stop infrequently as possible.

GMC sierra - unwanted antilock brake system activation. GMC recall #05068.

The contact owns a 2000 GMC k15. While driving at approximately 5 mph, the contact noticed that it took extra time for the brakes to engage when he depressed the brake pedal; he had to continue to apply pressure so the vehicle would slow down. He noticed the problem only at low speeds. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current mileage was 65,508. The failure mileage was approximately 64,100.

I have a 2000 GMC sierra with an anti-lock brake problem. At low speed braking the truck's anti-lock system comes on and causes the truck not to stop correctly. This has caused many near collisions. I spoke to gm about the problem and was told the they had repaired the truck before I owned it, and they had fixed the problem. But if the same problem is happening again, then they have not fixed it. I understand that wear and tear is a issue with every car and that over time things need to be repaired, but if it's the brake system itself and not the condition of the brakes, shouldn't that fall on gm to make that correction. Thank you.

I have a 2000 GMC. At low speeds (under 10k) the vehicle will not stop quickly,it takes 10 or more feet with the brake fade. I took the abs fuse out an it stops on a dime. Very dangerous in shopping centres the fuse is in.
