Two problems related to brake sensor have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet C1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Whenever I apply my brakes normally, the anti-lock brake system engages when the vehicle speed decreases to approximately 6 mph. This causes the brake pedel to lock and the vehicle continues forward until it rolls to a stop or it hits somthing. I have already hit several cars and rolled through many intersections. Eventuly someone is going to get hurt. I have searched many websites and found this to be a very common problem caused by dirty wheel hub sensors due to a manufactures design flaw. The dealers often mis-diagnos or scam customers into new abs computers and other expensive solutions. The best solution is to pull the abs fuse for the abs control module but this makes the vehicle unable to pass state inspections. Motor vehicles with this condition are a safety hazard and often unreported. Prevention cannot be accomplished by normal owner maintainence and manufacturers should be held responsable.
'the pads rusted to the rotors, destroying the rotors. I had to have all the rotors and pads replaced. Since then have had to replace the pads and rotors two more times. I've also had to replace the rear calipers and the backing plates at less than 100,000 miles. I've had to replace the abs sensors and grease boot s on the front axels. Replaced the universal joint, the four wheel drive switches twice, the power window mechanisms, the tail gate straps and the lever--which isn't working right again, the gas tank strap, rusty fuel lines and brake lines, and the differential cover that rusted out. Also the air conditioning pulley.
