| When operating vehicle at slow speed and attempting to stop anti lock brakes engage and increased stopping distance is required. this vehicle was recalled for same problem in 2005. i made an attempt at my local gmc dealer to remedy this continuing problem, however, i was informed that general motors would only make one attempt to remedy issue and that i already had used that. the dealer representative stated that i could pull the fuse on the abs and the vehicle would perform stopping without the aid of abs and would stop normally in dry environment, without the assistance of anti lock brakes. i feel this is a design problem and is a tremendous safety issue. i did take vehicle to another mechanic who drove vehicle in his parking lot and the problem occurred to him almost causing a crash in his lot. | |||

| I went to apply parking brake on my 2002 gmc sierra 1500 with 40478 miles on it and there was a loud snap (i had already stopped the truck and was going to park it) - emergency brake pedal went to the floor. release lever works, pedal will go back up. if it is pushed again the pedal will go to the floor and there is no parking brake. | |||
