DT: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID 05V379000 CONCERNING THE ANTI LOCK. BRAKES. THIS VEHICLE MANIFESTED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE STATE OF ALASKA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *AK
1999 GMC TRUCK ABS LOST AT LOW SPEEDS I SAW THIS PROBLEM ON THE NEWS. AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO CORRECT IT, SO I COULD TELL MY MECHANIC. IS THIS GOING TO BE A RECALL ITEM, LIKE IT WAS IN CANADA? IF YOU COULD E-MAIL BACK AND LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU DAVID RICHARDS
CONTACT STATES HAVING TROUBLE WITH ABS BRAKES. HE BELIEVES THE BRAKES ARE FRONT WHEEL ANTI-LOCK. WHEN HE TRIES TO BRAKE WHILE TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED, 5 MPH, THE PEDAL PULSED AND KEPT VEHICLE FROM STOPPING. THIS HAPPENED 60%-70% OF THE TIME. WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE CAN HEAR THE ABS BRAKES GO OFF. THIS HAPPENS IN ANY ROAD CONDITION. CONSUMER BOUGHT THE CAR SECOND HAND. THE CAR HAD ABOUT 36, 000 MILES. * HAD OVER 1000 FAILURES. *AK
THE REASON I AM REPORTING THIS FAILURE IS THE FACT THAT I KNOW OF TWO OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN THE SAME MILEAGE IN A GM TRUCK. WHEN ORDERING THE ABS MOTOR MY MECHANIC WAS TOLD THAT THESE MOTORS ARE SENT OUT AS SOON AS THEY HIT THE SHELF. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I HOPE THIS IS THE RIGHT FORUM FOR MY COMPLAINT. NOT JUST BEING A SAFETY HAZARD IT IS SOMETHING THAT I FEEL I WILL BE CHANGING AGAIN IN 30000 MILES AS THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED THE BUILDING OF THE MOTOR.*AK

CONSUMER BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ABS PROBLEMS, BOTH REAR WHEELS WOULD LOCK UP AND SKID AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE TRUCK WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT DURING HEAVY BRAKING AND CONSUMER COULD NEVER DETERMINE WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE, REPAIRES WERE MADE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. NLM
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
