My daughter was involved in an accident on the evening of 8/24/2000. She was coming to a stop at a red light on wet pavement and reported that the van would not stop. It continued into the intersection. It was struck by a car on the cross street and was pushed into the opposite lane where it was struck by a third car. I have heard reports of similar problems with GMC vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes. Also, other family members have reported intermittent problems with the brakes. GMC issued a recall of some vehiclees last year to correct a problem with their anti-lock brake system. I have contatced GM and was told that this van is not involved in the recall. Nevertheless, I am concerned that it exhibiting the same problem.
Brakes locked up upon stopping, vehicle was undrivable had to be towed. Dealership had looked at brakes twice before because of roaring noises upon braking and we were told this is normal.
Air conditioner has had numerous problems since the vehicle was purchased, it has been in 6 different times for not working properly such as air cutting on and off. Now the compressor has gone out completely. The vehicle has been in for service twice for the same problem with the brakes loud roaring sound when applying the brakes.
