Two problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet C/k Pickups. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Initially we had the brakes changed, then we took it to the repair shop and they were test driving it, and tried to stop the truck, and ran into the welder in the shop and destroyed the welder and wrecked the front bumper of our truck. We then had the bearings worked on. After researching on the internet, I found where some trucks were recalled for this problem of the anti lock brake system engaging at slow speeds. Our truck has a vibration in the brake pedal when trying to stop, but it only occurs at the final stage of stopping, at slow speeds. It has occured numerous times, and with no weather conditions on the road.
I purchased a 2002 chev. K1500 5. 3liter 4x4 pickup in oct. 2010. Once I took the truck home the brakes started acting up. I contact gm and they advised the truck had a recall on the abs system but the recall had been preform on the truck and they could not do any more for me. I thought if it was a safety problem they had to fix the problem. What is happening is the abs system is kicking in at low speed under 10mph. When you are pulling into a parking spot or at a cross walk. And the truck will take twice the distance to stop. They do not think they are needing to do anything with the problem. But, they are doing a dissatisfaction to the consumer. I am a employee at a auto repair shop. And we are seeing 1 or 2 a month with the same problem. I feel gm need to stand behind the product and they are not. It is going to take someone to have the abs brake kick in and run someone over. Before they do anything about it. I feel this is a problem that may need to be look into very closely because it is happening on more then just the trucks. Cars and SUV are also having the same problems.
