Five problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brakes began to pulsate between 3 mph and 5 mph which caused the vehicle not to slow when coming to a complete stop; stop lights, stop signs, etc. Failure of the abs caused myself to roll through a stop, into traffic, and into the ditch. A test for low speed anti-lock operation was done. Results showed problem to be faulty abs system. ( noted to be manufacture defect per newspaper article milwaukee journal sentinel ). Problem was corrected by replacing the front wheel hub assemblies.
While driving at 25 mph, and with no warning brake pedal got stuck to the floorboard, causing the driver to hit another vehicle. Consumer turned the vehicle off, and had the vehicle towed to the dealer.
While driving and trailling a cargo brakes won't stop on time. When driving without a cargo, brakes pedal will go all the way to the floor. Consumer states he has to pump brakes in order to stop.
When braking at any speed to come to a stop, the pedal will kick back, resulting in no braking action. Vehicle taken to dealer 3 times, no problem was found. On 1 March, 2002 vehicle rearended another vehicle at low speed while braking. Damage to vehicle was $ 800. 00. This defect occurs when going over a bump or uneven pavement while applying brakes.
Brakes would get debris and rocks on them due to riding on dirt roads. Rims would be deteriorating due to tires not holding air. Been to dealer, and mechanic refused to repair problem. Claimed driver was at fault. The brake system for this vehicle has a design flaw and the truck is a lemon.
