Recalls claimed to be done, I've never taken truck in for recalls. Chevolet refuses to release where recalls were completed at.
: the contact stated the abs activates at speeds below 5 mph. There is a NHTSA recall, # 05v379000, regarding the antilock brakes. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however, it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. Updated 2/13/2006 -.
At speeds under 7 miles per hour when the brakes are applied the anti-lock system engages and will not allow the brakes to work (no brakes whats so ever and the truck keeps rolling without any stopping effects at all).
Consumer applied the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor. Took vehicle to the dealer for analysis. The mechanic could not resolve the problem.
While driving abs went out, and consumer could only use the regular brakes. Concern arose when consumer was informed that there have been numerous problems with the abs with these vehicles. Consumer feels a recall should be issued.
This vehicle will not stop when going over bumps or rumble strips or potholes. I have spoken with several dealerships and some know of the problem but have not recieved a recall to correct this situation. This is very serious since it requires an additional 30 to 50 feet of stopping distance. I leave an extraordinary didtance between myself and the vehicle in front of me for fear that I will have to make an ordiary stop just when there road gets bumpy.
When vehicle is turned off electric module for the abs does not shut off.
Intermittently when brakes are applied pedal becomes soft, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has inspected the vehicle on several occasions, and has not been able to duplicate the problem.
