The abs seems to be activated even in slow stops and I lose complete control of stopping the vehicle. This happens randomly since I purchased the vehicle in July 2005. I had several near crashes. It acts up more when the road is slick. Several mechanics told me it was abs but they could not pinpoint the problem until now.
Consumer stated abs brakes were not working correctly. The abs was initializing at low speed stops. The problem was ongoing for 5-6 weeks. The consumer's mechanic indicated that the brakes were fine. The consumer found information on the internet about other complaints of the same nature. The abs would not stop the vehicle and the problem seemed to be getting worse.
Unwanted abs activation and extended stopping distance during low-speed breaking on my s-10 2001 Blazer. The problem occurs numerous times a day on a daily basis. I have adjusted my stopping pattern to allow for the initiation of the unwanted abs activation.
Applied brakes to stop quickly due to stopping traffic. The abs system seem to hardly stop the vehicle at all. It just seemed to keep going. Vehicle stops fine when abs not involved.
When utilizing the brakes, normally or in an emergency, the mechanism lock causes the vehicle to continue to move. The brakes regularly click when stepped on. A 'manager' at the office of the president at Chevrolet na stated there is no problem with the way the vehicle stops. When I insisted, he stated next time perhaps I 'should buy a Toyota". I am afraid to drive the vehicle except for very short trips and not on any main street or highway. This happens repeatedly. The latest date is reflected below.
