In the midst of braking on damp or wet (but without standing water) or muddy road surface, and without any warning, the brakes will cut out for a moment.it feels like you've hit an ice patch.one time i wound up stopping in the intersection rather than before it (with no resulting accident).i have had my mechanic check on two separate occasions.he cannot find anything that would cause this and we haven't had the right road conditions to attempt to duplicate this scary situation. Prior to completing this form, i saw the recall (nhtsa campaign id 99v193000) which seems to describe the problem i have been having so i called the gmc number given by nhtsa.gmc apparently does not consider nhtsa campaign id no. 99v193000 a real recall yet, and the service representative i talked to (at length) recommended i wait until the recall went into effect --if it goes into effect -- because otherwise my monetary output could be quite high and most likely, mostly unreimbursable (even if my car falls under the recall) since at this stage they don't know what they are looking for.can i get more information about this potential recall -- if there's a good chance that this recall will correct the problem then i guess i will just wait, but it does not, i'd like to know because i want to get the car fixed as soon as possible.thanks.(by the way, the mileage of the jimmy is an estimate -- i don't have the car with me right now.)
