I was turning around in my driveway, when suddenly the brake peddle went to the floor and all braking power was lost. Tried pumping the brakes multiple times with no success. There was no warning (lights or otherwise) before the incident, and no dash lights lit during the incident either.
I was returning home from lexington ky when I came around a curve there were two deer in the road. I hit the brakes hard and the pedal went to the floor. I hit one of the deer with a glancing blow. There was no damage to my truck and the deer ran away. Thank god I was not in lexington when this happened and the deer was not a child. I am 72 years old and I don't have the money or the energy to make this repair. Last year my son was backing his 2001 silverado to the lake to load a boat when this same thing happened. The truck went into the water up to the cab before he got it into another gear. After a 1100. 00 repair he traded for a Ford. General motors needs to be held accountable for this defect.
At low stopping speeds abs brakes kick in and cannot stop.

Wet surface. Two similar wrecks in two different chevy pickups. One a 1994 and the other in a 2000 GMC. Trying to stop, standing on the brakes, while both of these vehicles accelerated into the rear of the vehicle in front of me. Following the last incident, I went straight to a large empty parking lot and duplicated the acceleration while standing on brakes.
