Driving on I-95 south in moderate traffic at about 30 mph when traffic slowed ahead of me. When I applied brakes, nothing happened. I applied brakes with 2 feet to the floor and no response. The crash involved the three cars in front of me with no serious injuries but it was frightening. I have read a few similar complaints of this type for 2000 and 1999 Silhouettes.

Third time into shop for low brake fluid warning light. Previously replaced wheel bearing and a sensor.

While passing a truck, in a construction site, the accellerator pedal stuck. The van sped out of control over 80 mph, I was unable to slow van using brakes and manual gears. I turned the key off to stop the car.

Pedal goes all the way to floor, and pedal is hard. Brakes grab a little with a little motion. Dealership is aware of the problem.

Failure of part nos. 12533714 (socket) and 12101854 (connector) resulted in the anti-lock brakes and traction control to be disabled. Additionally, tail lights did not function properly.

While driving at 10 mph, consumer applied brakes, and the brakes went straight to the floorboard. Vehicle ran a red light. Vehicle has been in shop for repair service three to four times, and dealer could'nt determine the cause.

While driving the van about 25 mph and applying the brakes, the pedal went down to the floor. Started vibrating and the van continued at the same speed without slowing down and would not stop. Eventually the brakes came back again and the van stopped. This happened on a sunny dry day during normal braking. The dealer not able to duplicate the problem.

When the brake pedal is depressed gently braking is fine, but when the brake pedal is depressed hard the pedal goes to the floor. When the pedal goes to the floor it passes the accelerator, when the brake pedal passes the accelerator is depressed too, and this causes the vehicle to go out of control.

When applying the abs brakes in normal conditions, the pedal goes to the floor and there is extended stopping distance before the vehicle comes complete stop.

At any stop where the road is on a slight incline, the van will begin to roll backwards when the brake is released. Accordingly, you have to have your foot on the brake and gas at the same time to avoid a rollback at a stop light. Accordingly, an accident can occur if the car rolls back or too much gas is given while the break is being depressed. Gm dealer said this is normal for this model. My Ford winstar does not do this on the same hills.

In a parking lot while slowing to a stop with my foot on brake, car suddenly accelerated, jumped parking curb and continued forward for approximately 30 ft. Before stopping. Foot was on brake so hard that you could smell burnt brakes for another 10 minutes. Fortunately there were no pedestrians or other cars nearby or someone would have been hurt or could have been killed. This has never happened before. Has this been reported by anyone else? incidently, I am not a two footed driver. My right foot was on the brake. This all happened for a matter of seconds and the accelleration stopped and the car came to a halt.
