What owners wrote
In this particular circumstance my husband was pulling into our driveway, when he hit the brakes to stop we did not have brakes, our vehicle rammed into our garage door. On numerous occasions my brakes have went out when driving the vehicle, I have personally went through stop lights and stop signs because my brakes were ineffective.
2000 GMC safari ABS system - at low stopping speed ABS activates for no reason and increases stopping distance. Only 26,000 miles on vehicle. Had several near miss crashes in parking lots. Most likely due to corroded ABS wheel sensors. No brake light, ABS warning lights or fault codes appearing.
