Abs unit on front brakes malfunctions at low speed. The abs sensors mistakenly releases brake pressure, as vehicle slows to a stop, thinking the wheel is skidding. This release of brake pressure lengthens the stopping distance, which could result in a low speed crash.

Brake lines had corroded and a pin hole leak allowed brake fluid to leak out of the system when the brakes were applied. Braking ability was greatly reduced. I was towing a boat at the time, making the failure even more dangerous. Inspection subsequently showed that all four lines which run forward from the abs module to the master cylinder had several areas of severe corrosion. All the lines needed to be replaced.…

When i am applying the brakes, at about 10 mph, the abs kicks on and keeps the truck from stopping. The driving conditions haven't mattered. The roads are dry and there is no indication on the dash that there is a problem. It is happening pretty consistently at slow speeds.it seems to be a problem with the abs speed sensor on the drivers side. *tr

Like many other gm trucks, the steel brake line rusted and failed. I was backing by boat on to the ramp when the brakes failed. The weight of the boat and the steepness of the ramp pulled by truck in to the bay. Thank god my family was out of the vehicle. The nhtsa must mandate that gm fix all severely corroded brake lines at either a reduced or no-charge fee to owners. I am being told that a large portion of the…
