Went to stop and ABS came on and pavement was dry and now it comes on every time you put on brakes and slow down to 5 or 6 mph...

I put my foot on the brake pedal to start the truck and the pedal went all the way to the floor. Fortunately the truck was parked. I had the car towed to the GM dealer and had the lines fixed for $890.

All brake lines rusted and leaked causing brakes to fail. Also the ABS system failed.

Brake lines running along frame have completely rusted out due to the way they were installed, they hold water and salt.

Vehicle was parked in my driveway when I noticed brake fluid leaking under it. Upon further inspection, I saw that the brake line was corroded and ruptured. When I started the vehicle and backed it back and forth in the driveway I noticed that the brakes only worked in the front from this point. I replaced the ruptured brake line but I am worried that the remaining brake lines may rupture at any point.

As I was leaving work I proceeded to stop at a red light and my brakes went completely out I was able to pull into a parking lot and that's where I was able to see that my brake line was ruptured.

I started smelling gasoline and found a corroded fuel line at the junction between the nylon line leading from the fuel pump to the steel line going to the fuel filter. Doing repairs, the hard brake line leading from the ABS unit under the driver's seat area to the rear flex line connector was leaking badly as well at the rear-most fitting. Purchasing these lines separately cannot be done, so I'm replacing all of the fuel/brake lines myself. I'm using stainless tubing for the brake lines not provided by factory GM parts.

I was on the ramp onto I-75 in detroit when I started to brake, the pedal went down to the floor. I had a little bit of braking power (approx.10%) so I was able to stop after some distance inwhich I had to maneuver onto the shoulder to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me and the barrier wall on the ramp. Luckily, I was going slow on the ramp with the traffic. There had been no indication prior to this incident there was a problem. After this incident I checked the vehicle and noticed that brake fluid was leaking on the front driver's side. I had heard later about GMC offering a reduced charge for the repair at dealerships but when I called the person on the phone he had no knowledge of this offer.

Loss of braking effectiveness at low speed when turning wheel. While making left hand turn into driveway at low speed on dry pavement, anti-lock braking system activated causing loss of braking. Brake pedal "froze" at position and would not allow pedal to be depressed further. Vehicle continued forward until impacting the exterior garage wall causing structural damage to the home. Upon further testing vehicle in open, dry parking lot, the antilock system activates incorrectly when turning wheel left or right while braking at low speed. This vehicle had wheel sensor service for recall campaign 05068C performed on February 20, 2012. The GM wheel speed sensor recall campaign apparently is not a permanent fix for the root cause of failure, but only a temporary band-aid solution. Fortunately there was no one in vicinity of front of vehicle when this incident occurred, otherwise serious physical injury of loss of life could have occurred.

Metal brake line corrosion and failure, resulting in mass fluid loss, pedal traveling to the floor, and complete loss of braking ability.

Total brake failure caused by corroded brake lines.

Catastrophic brake failure. Went to brake at a stop sign and there was no brake pedal pressure; pedal went all the way to the floor. Inspection showed failure of brake line(s).

The contact owns a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph, the contact heard a popping sound after depressing the brake pedal. The brake pedal then suddenly dropped to the floor board. The contact was able to stop the vehicle with limited brake response. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed corrosion on the brake line underneath the driver's side seat. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

I was driving home from work and attempted to stop at a stop light when my brake pedal suddenly went all the way to the floor and my truck was majorly unresponsive to stopping. It took at least double the normal amount of time to stop and I almost hit the car in front of me. Thankfully, I was traveling at a low speed and had plenty of time to stop or else there would have been a very bad accident. The culprit of this incident was corroded brake lines on my GMC Sierra, one of which ruptured suddenly during this incident.

21 year old step-daughter drove my truck to work this afternoon, when she went to leave at the end of her shift, she stepped on the brake pedal to shift out of park, it went all the way to the floor. Thankfully she was still in her parking space, and not out in traffic on a very busy 6 lane road. I found at least one of the 2 brake lines from the master cylinder rusted completely through where they are clipped into the plastic guide on top of the frame.

On my way to the store I noticed reduced brake pedal and increased stopping distance. No warning lights were on at this time. On my way home the brake warning light came on and I had even less pedal and needed extreme stopping distance. I went directly to the repair station and the mechanic found heavily rusted lines especially in the areas of the ABS module. One of the lines was rusted thru and leaking in the area of the ABS module causing the malfunction. I already have had the brake lines to the front calipers replaced in July of 2012 due to extreme rust. I am having all the brake lines replaced with stainless steel at the time of this posting. This vehicle gets very light duty personnel use and shows no signs of rust in the body.

Pulling on the in front of my home, no brakes use the parking brake. Look under the Sierra on the driver side leaking brake fluid. Corrosion on brake line,71,295 miles on the Sierra.

As I was driving, I had no notice of pulling into supermarket of complete brake failure, found out I have multiple leaks and pin holes in my brake lines underneath and extensive rusting on my vehicle, this is completely unacceptable.
