Brake pedal goes to floor. Regular brakes would fail to work whenever pedal is depressed. Took to mechanic, and had master cylinder replaced, and brakes bled. Problem still exists.

ABS brake problems; during normal braking, no inclement weather, when the brakes were applied the truck would pulsate very badly. The front rotors were resurfaced on December 31, 1997 at 4462 miles. At 7600 miles on Mar 10, 1997, both rotors were replaced because of warping. Rotors are being replaced every 3 thousand miles. The problem still exists.

Left front brake lines are too close to air conditioner lines. Friction caused brakes line hose to have hole in it & leaked fluid. Was applying brakes & vehicle did not stop quickly. Had it repaired. Took to dealer & was reimbursed.
