This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When driving at any speed on wet pavement and when brakes are applied, aextended stopping distance occurs. Dealer not aware of the problem. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
When on a decline and the brakes are applied, the pedal goes to the floor and the vehicle does not stop. Usually when its raining. Dealer has not seen.
When the brakes are applied the pedal becomes hard, resulting in extended stopping diatance. Also, carbon is getting into the brake vacuum hoses hoses. The dealer has been notified.
Intermittently when the brakes are applied the pedal goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer and manufacturer have been notified.
I have taken the truck to the dealer on three occasions, on two of the occassions, the dealership said they could find nothing wrong with the brakes, on the third visit they said they recreated to condition but that it was normal for antilock brakes and they failed to list this on the ticket. I have also contacted General Motors about the incidents in question and they said if the dealership could not recreate it then they would not fix it. During all of this I have seen on T.V. (dateline) and read of others having the same troble with their brakes. The brakes usually fail at under 35mph under normal driving conditions. This is a very dangerous defect and all manufacturers should be held accountable.
When applying the brakes the pedal goes to the floor and vehicle does not stop. Vehicle has been in 3 crashes. Dealer changed the master cylinder and had the front brake pads and rotors replaced, but problem still exists.
Had started vehicle & was backing out of driveway. The ABS light came on for no reason. Applied the ABS brakes & nothing happened. ABS brakes went out completely.
