2000 GMC SIERRA Complaints

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES BEGAN ACTIVATING OVER THE SLIGHTEST BUMPS IN THE ROAD. ONE DAY PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED AND TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP AND HIT THE GAURDRAIL.

ANTILOCK BRAKE PROBLEMS ON MY 2000 GMC SIERRA PICKUP. HARD TO STOP VEHICLE AT AT LOW SPEEDS [UNDER TEN MILES PER HOUR.]

VEHICLE: 2000 GMC SIERRA, EXT. CAB, 4WD, LESS THAN 19000 MILES. VEHICLE EXIBITED INTERMITTANT LOW-SPEED ANTILOCK BRAKE ACTIVATION. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE MANY "CLOSE CALLS" ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ANTILOCK MOTOR WOULD ACTIVATE UPON INITIAL BRAKE APPLICATION (VERY LOW PRESSURE IN HYDRAULIC LINES), NO DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO THE VEHICLE OR OTHER PROPERTY. A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION EXISTS WITH THESE HEAVY VEHICLES. LOW OUTPUT FROM RIGHT FRONT ABS SENSOR WAS DIAGNOSED. I REPLACED ENTIRE HUB AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY. THE SYMPTOM IS NOW GONE. THE OLD PART IS STILL IN MY POSESSION FOR INSPECTION.

FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY 2000 GMC SIERRA PICKUP. ABS WOULD ACCTIVATE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND WOULD MAKE STOPPING TRUCK VERY HARD.HAD TO DE ACTIVATE ABS SYSTEM SO TRUCH WAS USEABLE.DEALER STATED THAT PROBLEM WAS DUE TO REGION OF COUNTRY THAT THE TRUCK WAS USED IN AND WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM!

ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGE AT LOW SPEED, LIKE WHEN COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN, OR WHEN PULLING UP TO A DRIVE THRU WINDOW.

ABS MALFUNCTIONING ABS WOULD KICK ON DUE TO A BAD VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CAUSING A LENGTHING OF STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. *AK AS A TEMPORAY FIX I PULLED THE FUSE FOR THE ABS CONTROLLER TO ELIMINATE THE LEGHTENED STOPPING PROBLEM

THERE WOULD BE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN STOPPING AT ANY SPEED. DEALERSHIP INFORMED/REPAIRED THE RUSTED REAR BRAKE PADS/DISC. *AK THE REAR ROTORS WERE HEAVILY CORRODED WITH PIECES BREAKING OFF WHICH REDUCED THE BRAKING SURFACE TO LESS THAN 50 %. *JB *NM

2000 GMC SIERRA HAS PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE ROTORS, ENGINE FAILING TO RESTART, AND THE PASSENGER CAB WAS NOT LEVEL.*MR SHIMS WERE INSTALLED TO MAKE THE CAB LEVEL. THE REAR ROTORS WERE CRYSTALLIZED AND FLAKING OFF WHICH CAUSED PULSATION WHILE BRAKING. THE ABS SENSOR FAILED WHICH RESULTED IN INTERMITTENT BRAKE LOSS. THE GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK AT TIMES. *NM

THE BRAKE HUBS WERE COMING APART AND RUSTING. BIG CHUNKS OF RUST WAS FALLING OUT OF THE HUB. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 31,000 MILES. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. BRAKE ROTOR SURFACES FOUND TO BE DELAMINATED AND RUSTY. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TT

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ACCELERATED PEDAL STUCK. CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS OF TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WILL BE NOTIFIED. *AK
