NHTSA complaint: 1996 GMC K1500 — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ROAD WAS WET. THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED (I COULD FEEL THE PULSING) AND I DID KEEP MY FOOT FULLY PRESSED ON THE PEDAL. I HAD STEERING CONTROL (I DROVE INTO A DITCH RATHER THAN REAR-ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE). I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANY VEHICLES FOR 33 YEARS IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER CONDITIONS AND HAD NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED SUCH A LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY.
