Problems with 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

My 2007 gmc sierra has faulty abs sensors which activate at low speed stops and greatly extends the stopping distance of the vehicle. searching the internet usenet list it seems that a good portion of gm fullsize pickups and suvs have faulty abs brake sensors which activate during low speed braking. 1999 - 2007 vehicles seem to be the most affected and include sierra, yukon, suburban, and silverado trucks. gm has known about the issue for many years and has issued a service bulletin on the issue but failed to issue recall, this leaves the owner stuck with the problem to deal with on their own. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc sierra 1500 classic. the contact stated that when applying the brakes, the brake pedal would drop a few inches and the vehicle would abnormally lunge forward. there was no warning lights illuminating. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who repaired the front wheel sensors and cleaned the mounting surface at the contacts expense. the manufacturer was called who informed the contact there were no recalls or warranties on teh vehicle and offered no further assistance. the failure mileage was 37,202.

2007 gmc sierra crew (new body style) while stopped at a stop sign i nearly had a vehicle rear end me. i had my brakes depressed and noticed my brake lights were not light up. i then pressed a little harder on the pedal and then my lights came on. this new brake light where if you step as hard as you want on the brake and then let off a micro inch and it goes off. so i got home and did some searching and found that this type of problem is occurring quite a lot with this truck my thought on this is that any time the t brake pedal is even depressed just a little bit the lights should go on. i did also find it strange that the brake lights do not work with the ignition off. first vehicle i can recollect ever set up that way. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 gmc sierra 1500. while driving 15 mph, the brakes failed twice. the vehicle has been to the dealer approximately 15 times since it was purchased in august of 2007. the dealer turned the rotors and changed the brakes and the seat belt assembly. the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. the fuel gauge failed and the bed of the vehicle separated from the frame. the engine lifters failed to function properly as well. the failure mileage was 12,000 and current mileage was 12,100.

The brake lights turn off if you press the brake and then slightly depress the pedal, although the brakes are still applied the brake lights are not on. i first noticed it while backing out of a driveway at night, and i did not think it was a safety concern until i saw my wife stop from 45 mph and the brake lights flashed and then turned off until she came to a complete stop. i took the truck to the dealership they thought there was a problem with the truck, and replaced the brake light switch. the problem did not go away. the same defect is on every truck on the car lot. the dealership wrote on my invoice that the owner presumes that when the brake pedal is pressed the brake lights should be on. duh!! *tr

I purchased a brand new 2007 gmc sierra 1500 pickup from lone star pontiac buick gmc in mckinney, texas on 11/18/06. only after being pulled over for speeding did i realize the speedometer was not calibrated correctly after the dealership had installed an after-market lift kit and large tires and wheels on this truck. i discovered by calling another gm dealer that because the speedometer is not calibrated correctly it causes the anti-lock brake system to not function properly. the dealership willfully and without regard to the safety of its customers sold vehicles like mine that had brake systems that did not work properly. the general manager confirmed that they have sold many trucks like this so it is reasonable to assume there are many trucks on the road now which may have faulty anti-lock braking systems. i am concerned for everyone else that purchased one of these trucks and aren't aware their brakes don't work right. the general manager told me that the speedometers can not be calibrated correctly. *jb
