What owners wrote
Was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour toward intersection. Applied brakes but oddly pedal seemed to go to floor with zero braking action. Subsequently, my vehicle entered intersection during red light. Was struck on drivers side by 18-wheeler crossing intersection and then my vehicle's forward momentum caused a frontal impact to 18-wheeler crossing intersection from the passengers side. Air bag did not deploy. Vehicle was a total loss.
Problem with ABS brakes low-speed activation with brake pedal going all the way to the floor causing foot to hit gas pedal in forward and reverse. This problem is what has called for a recall in canada and newer GM vehicles. When will a recall be issued to fix this safety hazzard in older model pick-up trucks? Your site shows GM shows three incidents in 100,000 vehicles, well I personally know more than 3 people in my area who are having this problem.
