Complete brake failure when two metal lines ruptured causing a loss of hydraulic pressure in both circuits during a hard stop. Abs had not activated.

Brakes failed to stop properly, surging/intermittent pulsing and strange sounds. I thought this was a normal function for abs brakes. I tolerated and drove carefully for years. Now I find this is a symptom of a GMC recall problem 05v-379. Upon contacting GMC they say their computers need updating and it "may" be in for recall but the GMC does not have the correct parts now. Sounds like a major problem. I am worried about total failure and am registering a complaint. They daid that I could get it fixed now and then they "may" reimburse me later. I called the GMC number on their recall site, the site said my number "may" qualify for recall. I am confused and frustrated now that I know this is a big problem for other GMC products and can't get fixed.

: the contact stated the vehicle experienced intermittent, erratically brake failures without warning, while driving 10 mph, under normal road and braking conditions. The vehicle was taken into an independent repair shop who was unable to find the cause of the problem.

: the contact stated while driving there was a squealing noise that appeared to be coming from the brakes. During a normal maintenance service, the service dealer determined the squealing noise was normal. On April 4, an appointment was made with the dealer regarding the vehicle's brakes.

The contact was told by dealership that until work could be performed the car was driveable. On April 5th, the vehicle was in an accident. While driving 55 mph on wet roads, the brakes failed which caused the contact to loose control of the vehicle. While the contact attempted to manuver the vehicle to the side of the road, the vehicle hit a pole and slide into a ditch. During the accident the air bags did not deploy.

After the accident, the vehicle was taken to a body shop for repairs. Additional repairs still need to be made to brakes and airbags.

We bought this vehicle in may of 05. Since this time we have brought it to the dealer on three separate occasions due to brake failure. While traveling at a low rate of speed the brakes on occasion fail to engage and we end up sliding forward a few feet. Each time the dealer says that they can not find a problem with the brakes and that they must experience the problem in order to repair the vehicle. The last time this happened we almost hit another vehicle.

Low speed brake failure resulting in a rear end collision. I was approaching a stop light as the 5 vehicle in line to travel through the light. I was braking lightly to control my speed as to assume my position in line to travel through the intersection. As the light turned green I did not need to come to a complete stop and was approaching the fourth car. The third car in the line suddenly braked hard in the intersection causing the fourth car in front of me to brake hard. I attempted to perform an emergency stop but I experienced a hard brake pedal with no brakes and the inability to slow down. This resulted in a rear end collision for which I was at fault. I have spoken to several other owners of vehicle similar to mine which also have experienced similar failure but without the crash. I have failed in several attempts to bring this to the attention of gm through the dealership and a product allocation request. My only avenue now is through your organization or a legal class action matter.

: the contact stated the brake pedal kicks back at a low speeds, prevents the vehicle from stopping correctly, causing a extended braking distance, which has created a vehicle safety issue.

Had taken vehicle to dealer for brake service on front disc brakes due to wear on disc. Work after 15000 miles had to be performed again due to disk wearing out.

While driving down a hill today ( I was using the gears so the brakes were not overheated). . .

Slowing to a stop on slight downhill grade, the brakes failed for appx 3-4 seconds. The brake pedal raised up towards me and couldn't stop the vehicle. This has happened at least 20 times(always on dry roads). It also occurs at slowing down speeds, if road is ever so slightly rough. * not overly bumpy !!.

Dt: the brake's abs system is malfunctioning. The brakes are not engaging properly at low and high speeds. The brakes have to be pumped a couple of times before you can come to a complete stop. The consumer has had the brakes replaced once. The dealer was the one to replace the brakes. The speeds are between 20-30, high 40-50 when you have to start pumping them. If you hit a bump at low speeds the brakes will push back up instead of down. The consumer has had this problem for 5 years. The dealer was informed that there was a problem on the vehicle. The consumer was in a minor accident because of the brake failure.
