THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) WAS SO SENSITIVE THAT DRIVING OVER A BUMP CAUSED THE BRAKES TO RELEASE AND IT WAS HARD TO REGAIN OF THE VEHICLE, ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP WHILE BRAKING, THE ABS KICKED IN AND RELEASED THE BRAKES, REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TT *JB *TS

OUR 2000 CHEVY TRUCK LOST ALL BRAKES IN A PERIOD OF ONE WEEK FROM THE START OF UNUSUAL SERVICE. ACCORDING TO CHEVY SERVICE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE CULPRIT PART WAS THE ABS SENSOR WHICH RUSTS LEADING TO RAPID BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKES WERE SLIGHTLY INTERMITTENT AND WENT TO TOTAL LOSS W/O ANY APPRECIABLE LAG TIME.*AK

Owner report 10106432 · 2005-01-16 (January 16, 2005)
HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE, I HAVE EVEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO BE WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY STILL ARE NO BETTER. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING THE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN MUCH. I HAVE TO BRAKE AT LEAST 2 BLOCKS BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP AT AN ACCIDENT, RESULTING IN TAKING THE DITCH IF NEED BE. MY FAMILY DOES NOT TRAVEL IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS REASON. I HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES EVERY YEAR AND REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND SHOES EVERY 6 MONTHS OR SO. *NM

Owner report 10123882 · 2005-06-02 (June 2, 2005)
I CAN NOT STOP AS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSORS ARE MALFUCTIONING. THE CHEVROLET DEALER SAYS IT'S FROM TOO MUCH SALT ON THE ROADS CAUSING EXCESSIVE RUST WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE SENSORS TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE IS UNFIT TO DRIVE AS IS. MAYBE A LAWSUIT IS WHAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE. THEIR COMPUTER READ THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ALL FOUR ABS SENSORS READ 3 MPH? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE DRIVING SUCH A VEHICLE. I HAVE ALMOST HIT MANY PEOPLE IN PARKING LOTS AND VEHICLES IN…

Owner report 10139206 · 2005-10-10 (October 10, 2005)
I AM BEING TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK AND AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE I TRUST, THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY BRAKE ROTORS AS THEY ARE RUSTED AND PITTED TO THE POINT OF NOT FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED AND COULD EVENTUALLY BE DANGEROUS AS THEY DETERIORATE. THE DEALER IS NOT SAYING THAT BUT IS RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT AS MY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THIS TRUCK IS A 2000 WITH ONLY 40,546 MILES. THE INDEPENDENT HAS TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN A NUMBER OF GM TRUCKS OF THIS AGE WITH SERIOUSLY PITTED ROTORS AS THE METAL ALLOWS RUST PITTING TO E…
