Abs & emergency dash lights will turn on/off intermittenly; no pattern as to when/how often. Had gm dealer check it. My ebcm had a short, if lights were on, had no abs, just hydraulic if lights were off. I have abs. Cost of new module is $1100. 00; plus labor!! dealer suggested I live with it for cost of repair! I agreed, but worried that gm probably were ignoring lights & thinking they had good abs!!.

While consumer was driving at 40 mphvehicle died out. Towed to dealer. Dealer noticed that fuel pump needed to be replaced. This will be the third time.
Anti-lock system defective in strategy of operations. Seems designed for icy roads and activates under the lightest of braking applications on front wheels with 1-2 second recovery time (without brakes) with only slight pedal & slight wheel bounce. This happens with 1-2 passengers & about 75-100 pounds in truck ped (bed cover) on dry streets approaching intersection with ripples or potholes on one side with very light slow (grandpa style driving) light braking- front wheel senses the slightest lockup & deactivates brakes (1-2 second recovery time) & then reapplies. This has resulted in multiple times of leaving me in intersection with vehicles skidding to stop to keep from t-boning my vehicle. Have complained to dealership management, gm district field rep who tell me this stratedgy is normal. This stratedgy will get people killed if it hasn't already. They told me there is nothing they can do. This report is being made to hopefully force something to be done. I could do better job of preventing brake lock up using ancient mode of stab breaking if necessary but wouldn't need to under descibed scenario.
Vehicle was involved in frontal collision with a chevy full size pick-up at approximately 20-25 mph. Both abs/air bags failed to operate/deploy. Vehicle left a skid mark of 20 feet or more. Dealer/manufacturer were contacted.
When driving at freeway speed(70-75mph)/abs & regular brake system warning light comes on/I ask to fix it to my dealer management and gm customer assistance center many times but they said "we can,t".
My 2000 GMC Sonoma pick up abs brakes activate on a daily base. Under 20 mph and on dry pavement. When they activate they pull to the left that the right. Did they use the wrong tires?.
Anti-lock brakes engage and pulsate to slow down but not stop when going over bumps on paved surfaces. Includes all speeds. On one occasion this caused me to proceed an extra estimated 15 feet into an intersection where an accident occurred. Dealership and manufacturer contacted and system checked. Was not satisfied with the inspection of the braking system. Since this incident, this has happened again, although with no resulting consequences.
When applying brakes abs system activates too quickly, causing a collision to occur. Please give any further details.
