2000 GMC SIERRA Complaints

ABS BRAKE SYSTEM IS CAUSING TRUCK TO FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP. I HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND THEY TELL ME BOTH SENSORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE APPROX. 22,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. IT'S A 2000 SIERRA

BRAKE FAILURE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT SLOW SPEED OVER IRREGULAR( BUMPY) SURFACE. THE ABS ACTIVATES, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP WITHIN A SAFE DISTANCE.THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLEANED THE MOUNTING SURFACE FOR THE ABS SENSORS. THIS WAS AFTER TWO FAILURES. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME UNTIL I EXPLAINED THIS IS A DESIGN SAFETY FLAW AND THEY AGREED TO COLLECT FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED IN THIS SAME MANNER TWO (2) MORE TIMES EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

THE CONSUMER STATED THE ABS FAILED UNDER 15 MPH. WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN OR BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE CONSUMER FELT A BIT OF SHUTTER AND ALSO EXPERIENCED AN INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCE. THE CONSUMER STATED IT HAPPENED FREQUENTLY AS THE SENSOR BECAME WORSE. *JB CONSUMER STATED THAT ABS SENSOR HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED PREVIOUSLY. CONSUMER TRADED VEHICLE IN FOR A NEW CAR AND STATED IT'S SOMEBODY ELSE'S WORRY NOW.*SB

JANUARY 27, 2005, MY TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP D/T LOUD METAL GRINDING IN THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL(DRIVER'S SIDE). THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE SOUND CONTINUED AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP FEBRUARY 2, 2005 AND THE BEARING WAS "CLEANED OUT". MAY 7, 2005 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL FELT LIKE I HIT SOMETHING. WHEN I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. ROUNDING A CURVE AT 25 MPH THE HUB AND THEN THE AXEL BROKE. THE TRUCK WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS TOWED BY AAA TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS REPAIRED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS D/T THE AFTER-MARKET WHEELS.

I HAVE A 2000 GMC SIERRA EXTENDED CAB 4X4 Z71. I BELIEVE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY ABS SENSOR AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS. I PULLED THE FUSE FOR MY ABS AND NOW I DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM, BUT AM AFRAID MY BRAKES WILL LOCK UP IN FOUL WEATHER.

ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGE AT IMPROPER TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS DURING BRAKING. EFFECT IS TO LIMIT BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS AT LOW SPEEDS. NEARLY HIT OTHER VEHICLES AND OBJECTS. FAILURE IS INTERMITTENT BUT INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. CONSIDERING DISABLING THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM.

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000, GMC, SIERRA. WHILE BEGINNING TO TAKE OFF THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. IF DRIVER PRESSES HARD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT WOULD RELEASE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2000.
