DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED WHEN SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 5 MPH AND THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED BADLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR SERVICE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS DISCONNECTED. THE SERVICE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. UPDATED 1/19/2007 - *NM

Owner report 10260627 · 2009-03-03 (March 3, 2009)
WHILE COMING TO A STOP, AT LOW SPEED ON DRY PAVEMENT MY VEHICLE'S ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATED AND DESPITE CONTINUED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE VEHICLE ADVANCED ~8 FEET BEYOND THE INTENDED STOPPING POSITION, NEARLY HITTING A STOPPED SCHOOL THE PROCESS. INTRIGUED BY THE PROBLEM I EXPERIMENTED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE, FOR SAFETY REASONS, DEFEATING THE ABS BY REMOVING THE FUSE THAT POWERS THE CONTROL MODULE. AS I HAVE NOW DISCOVERED, ACTIVATION OF THE ABS TO LOW SPEEDS CONTINUES TO BE…

Owner report 10279481 · 2009-08-05 (August 5, 2009)
ABS BRAKES ACTIVATING ON DRY ROADS AT SLOW SPEEDS JUST BEFORE STOPPING. THIS ORIGINALLY STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT WAS FIXED UNDER NHTSA RECALL 05V379000 DATED 8/3/05. THE PROBLEM IS BACK IN OUR CAR JUST A COUPLE YEARS LATER. SAME PROBLEM AND NOW THE GM DEALER SAYS IT WON'T BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS ENTERING OUR GARAGE AS WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO STOP AND THE ABS GOES OFF EXTENDING OUR STOPPING DISTANCE. *TR

Owner report 10293760 · 2009-11-28 (November 28, 2009)
UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION WHICH RESULTS IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE DURING LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATION. THE FIRST EXPERIENCE ALMOST RESULTED IN REAR-END CRASH INTO A VEHICLE AHEAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A GM DEALERSHIP (MALOUF GM) ON 11/06/09 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL (THEY REPORTEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM ON 11/01/2001). FOR THEM TO CHECK IF MY COMPLAINT IS RELATIVE TO THE EARLIER RECALL, THERE WOULD BE A COST TO ME OUT OF POCKET. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS AND OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

Owner report 10293764 · 2009-11-28 (November 28, 2009)
LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PRESSURE DUE TO DEFECTIVE/ DAMAGED BRAKE SYSTEM LINE (23 DAYS AFTER GM DEALERSHIP-MALOUF GM IN NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ INFORMED ME (WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR AN UNRELATED PROBLEM- ODI # 10293760), THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL). MY PRELIMINARY RESEARCH REVEALED A BULLETIN WHICH NOTES A RECALL; # 71182. INDICATION IS THAT SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CLEARANCE CONDITION BETWEEN THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL THAT COULD DECREASE TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING CONTACT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF CONT…
