The rear ABS system when it hits a small bump in the road the ABS system removes almost all brake pressure allowing the pedal to fall down and dramatically increasing stopping distance-this could have easily caused a wreck and has happened on multiple occasions. My dealer said it was normal and refuses to look at it-but no other GM vehicle with ABS that I have has had this problem.

Went to the store. The brakes was fine had a hard pedal. Came back out started the truck. Put foot on the brake pedal. The pedal went to the floor. The ABS light came on. Put the truck in reverse truck started to back up. Put truck back in park. Called GM. Put the truck in the shop. The pedal went to the floor with little pressure over the weekend. GM says no problem found and showed me another truck about like mine had the same problem. I drove several other trucks had hard pedal on them. I think there is a problem with these trucks and will not take mine back unless they address the problem. They are saying that nothing is wrong and was not wrong. Although I have 7 witnesses to the problem. Please help before someone gets hurt in these trucks. Thank you.

On several ocations the anti-lock system has activated for no reason. This has happened on dry roads and no panic bracking was envolved. When the system activates, breaking distances become much greater than normal, thus necessating corrective action to avoid a collission.
