We became aware of a recall on chevy and GMC SUV's in August. We were having trouble with our brakes and just assumed it was time to have them looked at. In the following days, the problem got worse. We were unable to stop when necessary. It was as if I slowed down to stop, the abs brakes would thump and the car would continue to go forward. Our trustworthy mechanic new of the recall and also assumed our car was involved. It was the same exact problem that was reported in the news and on the internet. However, when I contacted GMC, they said our car was not affected. That is absolutely wrong. They told me that in some cases they make exceptions, but we would not qualify. Their reasons were ridiculous and insulting , in addition to the fact that the people I spoke to were very rude. I did not make up the problem. It existed , we fixed it , and they need to reimburse us. It was very costly.

I was in an accident on July 3rd in a 2003 Suburban. At the time of the accident, I felt I was a safe distancee behind the car in front of me. There was construction on 635 in dallas and a car stopped in front of the car in front of me. When I applied the brakes and I reacted very quickly, I felt like the brakes did not react correctly and I ran into the car in front of me. I was in disbelief that the accident had occured. I had just purchased the Suburban and attributed the delyed stopping time to the size and weight of the vehicle. Since that accident, I have had (2) situations where I needed to hit the brakes very quickly and both times I felt like the brakes were not working correctly. I just noticed that gm put out a recall for 2002 Suburban and was curious if there were any other similar problems reported with the 2003 Suburban.

I have experienced problems with the abs on my 1999 GMC Suburban. The problems are exactly as described in NHTSA action #pe05020. I have not had an accident, but the problem occurs numerous times daily when I am slowing to a stop. Sometimes the abs will activate when my foot is not touching the brake petal. My mechanic has confirmed (via his computer diagnostics) that the abs will activate without a brake switch detection.

1999 GMC Suburban, driving down highway slowed to turn into rest stop, applied brakes, pedal went to the floor, steering was difficult, almost went into the ditch, then everything ok.

Can't stop the vehicle, and you have to stand on the brake pedal goes to the floor, and you have to pump the brake manually to get it to hold. Had the brake problem since July 2, 2003. Had been in contact with manufacturer, and they said to keep the records for reimburstment, in cause there is a recall. They have replaced the brakes 10-12 times. The antilock is not kicking in.

Have owned '90gmc c1500 p/u & '99 GMC c1500 Suburban in past 12 years; both vehicles have had same problems w/ front brake pull/wear; suspension; brake pipes; engine/trans. Hesitation, hang. . . . ; corroded + battery cables, batteries; leaking hvac ducts; and on & on. How in the world does 12+/- years of documented brake problems across vehicle lines/models not warrant a massive recall and/or compensation to owners for obviously faulty engineering, materials, etc. . . . . ????!!!! I suppose the Ford/firestone problems took precedence? can you say "class action"??.
