NHTSA Complaint #10681830 — 2000 GMC JIMMY

THIS HAPPENS A LOT. I WAS BACKING UP OUT OF MY SISTER'S DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THERE WAS A CRUNCHING FEELING UNDER MY FOOT ALONG WITH A WEIRD SOUND LIKE, "DOING" AT THE END. I COULD NOT STOP FAST ENOUGH AND RAN INTO HER BROTHER IN LAWS HITCH ON HIS TRUCK WITH MY RIGHT REAR CORNER BUMPER COVER. (IF THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED? MAYBE FASCIA?) IT DIDN'T HURT HIS TRUCK AT ALL, BUT IT SURE BUSTED UP THAT CORNER PIECE REAL GOOD ON MY JIMMY. IT'S BEEN SCARY A FEW TIMES SINCE! I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES BLED, AND NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED, AND IT'S STILL DOING IT! ALSO, THE ABS LIGHT IS ON MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN IT'S OFF IS WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. SO I GET A LITTLE PANICKY WHEN THAT LIGHT GOES OFF, ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE IT SHOULDN'T BE ON TO BEGIN WITH? I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS EXCEPT TO CONTACT SOMEONE ABOUT IT. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THIS ABS ISSUES IS FROM A PROBLEM WITH A SENSOR SOMETHING OR OTHER GETS CORRODED AND HAS BEEN RECALLED. IS THIS TRUE? P.S. I HAVE NOTICED THE ABS LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN IT'S RAINY, SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S SNOWY, AND USUALLY WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN THE VEHICLE TO GO SOMEWHERE, IF THAT HELPS. *JS
