general problems of the 2004 GMC Sierra 1500

Braked for rr crossing, peddle went to floor. Towed to garage.

While driving in the city my brake pedal went all the way to the floor and I had minimal braking power. I was able to stop the vehicle safely but the brakes lines are completely gone. They are all rusted and have several holes in them and must be replaced.

Basically the brakes arent doing its job. Everytime I drive my GMC I would feel the brakes giving out and fear that it going to blow out any time soon.

Brake fluid line rusted completely through. Losted brakes with family in truck while at 45 miles an hour and three (3) miles from home. Drove home on shoulder of road with drag on transmission to stop. Very disappointed that this has not be recalled sooner.

Brakes engaged the antilock device even as I was driving on dry pavement. This happened often, and if you are not careful with following distance you'll rear end the vehicle in front of you. This happens in a random fashion that the antilock device gets engaged.

Frame rust.

2004 GMC sierra ext cab with 40k miles has seriously degraded braking power. Upon sudden stops the vehicle wasn't to keep rolling taking far to long to stop. The pedal goes almost to the floor and yet the truck is still moving. The abs system does not indicate it is working but the wheel s do not lock up to a skid, in fact, I can't get the truck to skid or invoke the abs system no matter what I do. I called the dealer who said no recalls were out for this problem but this is definitely not right. Dealer says it's normal but I can bring it in for an inspection ( $100) but any repairs are not covered by gm, he acted like he never heard of this before? I have heard of several other GMC truck owners that said they had similar issues only to be charged $800 or more with little improvement. I cannot keep this truck like this, I am afraid I will roll into the back of someone and I cannot tow my trailer ( small bike trailer) for fear of the same. When will gm wake up?.
