1999 GMC SIERRA 1500 Service Brakes Problems

ABS Brakes cut out leaving you with little to no brakes. No warning light appears. This continues on and off over time. Then that ABS warning light came on. When the warning light was on, brakes worked just not ABS. Light would go out and back to the original issue. Took it in to dealership when the light remained on. They reset the light and told me every thing was fine. And charged me $$$. ABS Brake warning light can right back on. Had the manager drive it. Told me it was fine, brakes worked well. The ABS warning would go in and out. Removed the ABS fuse, so I could depend on being able to stop, without having to worry about the ABS cutting in and out for a few years. Watched for recalls, nothing appeared. Noticed on blogs, others were having the same issue. Took it to a great mechanic! Who verified there were no leaks in the brake lines, replaced one line that had been known to have issues on this type of truck and verified there were no air bubbles on the lines. Still same issue, then replaced the computer system for the ABS. No codes ever came up on the computer system that I can recall. Had more issues with the ABS. Would go to stop, (generally on a hill) then when it came to the final stopping, I had NO BRAKES, had to slam on the brakes to stop. ABS Brake warning lights never came on. My mechanic looked and looked and relooked into this. Found from others that blogged that they had similar issues, that one or both of the ABS Brake sensors were not responding evenly causing an issue. Changed out the sensor. All is good now. This issues could have put and my family in danger a number of times. I was blessed to avoid a few accidents by driving far enough behind people and or had an emergency line to pull into when unable to stop. Hope a recall comes soon for these issues to prevent someone from being killed. These took place from about 2015-fixed 2020. Email me with a report number and where I can upload info at a later date, I will do so.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 421 IN EMINENCE, KY. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL & I HAD NO BRAKES RIGHT IN FRONT OF HARRY HILL PARK. GM & I ARE VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED YESTERDAY. THE BRAKE LINE CORRODED & LEAKED THE BRAKE FLUID, SO WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL, IT WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE IS PRETTY CLEAN & AFTER CHECKING MANY BLOGS & YOUTUBE VIDEOS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON GM TRUCKS. I CHECKED THE RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK & THE TAILGATE CABLE IS RECALLED FOR BREAKING UNDER LOAD DUE TO CORROSION; THIS COULD INJURE SOMEBODY, BUT NOT AS VITAL COMPARED TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM AS SOMEONE COULD DIE IN A HORRIBLE INCIDENT. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SERIOUS MATTER. THANK YOU

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE REAR BRAKE LINES BURSTED CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO ABRUPTLY PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS A MARKED SHERIFF'S VEHICLE WITH ITS EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND SIREN ACTIVATED WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE INTERSECTING HIGHWAY THAT I WAS APPROACHING. THIS IS A KNOWN AND PREVALENT PROBLEM THAT EXISTS WITH GM TRUCKS AND GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DENIES FAULTY PARTS.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1999 GMC SIERRA THAT JUST HAD BRAKE LINE FAILURE ON 7/14/16 ON THE INTERSTATE THAT CAUSED AN ACCCIDENT. I HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES, PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I USED LOW GEAR AND PARK BRAKE TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE BUT STILL MADE CONTACT. IT IS CURRENTLY AT PATRIOT BUICK GMC IN WILLIAMSBURG VA FOR REPAIR WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW. I FEEL ME HAVING TO PAY $1000+ FOR THE BRAKE LINE REPAIR AND NOW A COURT DATE AND INSURANCE ISSUES THAT ARE NOT MY FAULT. WE NEED TO DISCUSS GMC MAKING SOME RESTITUTION AS THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE AND THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY BEEN IN VA. I HAVE OTHER GM CARS FROM THE 60'S, 70S AND 2000S THAT HAVE NO RUST ISSUE. FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING AS WELL AND SOME NEEDED REPLACMENT.GM SERVICE REQUEST 8-2250924255 I ALSO HAD THE PS REAR BRAKE ROTOR SHIELD COME OFF AND SCRAPE MOVING PARTS LAST YEAR. TURNED ITNTO DEALERSHIP AS A PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK WAS TSB'D YEARS AGO FOR LINE INSPECTION

SUBURBAN IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP OR WILL NOT STOP AT STOP SIGNS. PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR FOR EMERGENCY STOPS ON HIGHWAY AND GOING DOWN HILLS. BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY SOFT. ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES AT SLOW SPEEDS AND/OR MAY PULL VEHICLE VERY HARD TO THE LEFT. NHTSA RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLY IN CERTAIN NORTHERN STATES BUT NOT IN WASHINGTON STATE WHERE WE HAVE HIGH CORROSION FROM NATURAL OCEAN AIR AND EXTREME WINTER MOUNTAIN DRIVING WITH DEICERS. THOUGH BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY SERVICED SINCE NEW THIS SAFETY PROBLEM PERSISTS AND IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND COMING TO A YELLOW LIGHT I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL INSTANTLY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED TO PUMP THE PEDAL IN A PANIC AND STILL HAD NO EFFECT ON STOPPING THE TRUCK. I DOWNSHIFTED IN TO 1ST GEAR MANUALLY TO USE ENGINE BRAKING AND SLAMMED MY EMERGENCY TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE STOP IN WHICH IN HAD MORE THAN 300 FT TO DO SO AND I PRECEDED THROUGH WHAT HAD BECOME A RED LIGHT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED VERY LATE AT NIGHT SO THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLE GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I HAD A FRIEND ESCORT ME THE MILE LEFT TO MY HOUSE VIA HIS TRUCK AND TOW STRAP AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AS MY ONLY BRAKE NOT TO HIT THE BACK OF HIS TRUCK. NOW UPON VISUAL INSPECTION OF ALL MY BRAKE AND FUEL LINES THEY ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AT MULTIPLE SPOTS THROUGHOUT THE FRAME CHANNEL AND REAR AXLE AREA. THE BURST LOCATION HAPPENED JUST AT THE BACK OR DRIVERS DOOR EDGE TO THE FRONT OF THE L/R WHEEL. *TR

COMING TO A STOP SIGN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING; NO LIGHTS OR INDICATION FAILURE WAS IMMINENT. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE. MANAGED TO TURN ONTO A DIRT SHOULDER AND DOWNSHIFT TO STOP. INSPECTION REVEALED RUSTED THROUGH REAR BRAKE LINE. ALTHOUGH THE DASH BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHILE STARTING THE TRUCK, IT GOES OFF AND GIVES NO INDICATION THE BRAKE FLUID IS LOW. WHILE REPAIRING THE BRAKE LINES IT WAS NOTICED THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK IS EXTREMELY RUSTY AND FLAKING. AFTER WIRE-BRUSHING BY HAND,THE FRAME IS SHOWING CRACKS ON BOTH SIDES, UNDER THE CAB, NEAR THE REAR, RIGHT ABOUT WHERE A CROSSMEMBER IS ATTACHED. THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. I AM NOT IMPRESSED WITH GM'S CLAIM THAT THIS WAS A LIGHTER, STRONGER FRAME ON THIS TRUCK. WE HAVE 2 OLDER TRUCKS WITH NOWHERE NEAR THIS MUCH RUST AND NEITHER HAVE CRACKED. THE DESIGN ALLOWS TOO MUCH CRUD TO ACCUMULATE INSIDE THE LIP OF THE FRAME WHERE IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WASH OUT. *TR

WHAT HAD HAPPEN IS A WHOLE IN MY BRAKE LINE .I DONE SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED ABOUT 6 MILLION OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE..DEFINITELY THINK GM SHOULD PAY FOR NEW BRAKE LINES, WHY WOULD THEY BUILD A VEHICLE THAT'S NOT SAFE FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS..DON'T THINK I'LL EVER OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. *TR

I WAS COMING UPON A RED LIGHT BEHIND OTHER TRAFFIC. I STEPPED DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO STOP, AND THE PEDDLE FELT SPONGY. I TRIED PUMPING THEM, THEN NOTHING. I AVOIDED HITTING THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME BY SWERVING ACROSS INTO THE OTHER LANE AND PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, WERE I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHILE IT WAS A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE, I THOUGHT THAT'S WHY THERE IS A DUAL RESERVOIR, AND THERE WAS STILL PLENTY OF FLUID IN BOTH. UPON INSPECTION, I SAW THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALL SEVERELY CORRODED, AND THE ONE GOING TO THE REAR BRAKES WAS SPLIT. I KNOW I LIVE IN MICHIGAN, AND THE TRUCK IS RUSTY(THANKS AGAIN GM) BUT I HAVE CARS OVER 40 YEARS OLD WITH ORIGINAL LINES ON THEM WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CORROSION ON THEM. THIS IS A SUBSTANDARD PART, THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
