	I have problems stopping at times when i'm in two-wheel drive. on july 21, 1999, the local news reported that gmc was having a recall for anti-lock brakes. the year, make, and model of my vehicle was mentioned. on july 22, 1999, i went on the nhtsa website and read that owners should be notified in july-august 1999. on august 9, 1999, i e-mailed gmc because i didn't receive any recall information as of that date. they informed me to call customer service. on october 6, 1999, i called gmc. i was told that they couldn't find my vehicle in their system and they were running way behind on the recall. they said it could take up until the end of the year before i might be notified that i am included in the recall.

	In the midst of braking on damp or wet (but without standing water) or muddy road surface, and without any warning, the brakes will cut out for a moment. it feels like you've hit an ice patch. one time i wound up stopping in the intersection rather than before it (with no resulting accident). i have had my mechanic check on two separate occasions. he cannot find anything that would cause this and we haven't had the right road conditions to attempt to duplicate this scary situation. prior to completing this form, i saw the recall (nhtsa campaign id 99v193000) which seems to describe the problem i have been having so i called the gmc number given by nhtsa. gmc apparently does not consider nhtsa campaign id no. 99v193000 a real recall yet, and the service representative i talked to (at length) recommended i wait until the recall went into effect -- if it goes into effect -- because otherwise my monetary output could be quite high and most likely, mostly unreimbursable (even if my car falls under the recall) since at this stage they don't know what they are looking for. can i get more information about this potential recall -- if there's a good chance that this recall will correct the problem then i guess i will just wait, but it does not, i'd like to know because i want to get the car fixed as soon as possible. thanks. (by the way, the mileage of the jimmy is an estimate -- i don't have the car with me right now.) *ak

	Vehicle always exhibited extremely long stopping distances on any surface whenever abs engaged. abs unit failed after an instance of hard braking. whenever abs unit would engage, when it was still working, it felt like the truck would just keep going and going and never stop - a very, very scary feeling. it would cost over $1,200 to replace and gm dealer service person had told me that almost every unit had failed at one time or another; gm even reduced price for the replacement due to high demand. there is definitely something wrong with this picture - i paid extra for abs brakes when i bought the truck and they have been nothing but trouble.
