general problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado

Tl the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado. While depressing the brake pedal or attempting to drive, the abs, stability control, and traction control warning indicators intermittently illuminated and flashed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.

The abs on my '04 Colorado is activating at low or medium speeds without applying the brake. If traveling at slow speed, as in a parking lot, abs will be activated almost constantly. This is very annoying and can actually be a safety hazard when attempting to come to a normal stop.

I have not had an accident as of yet with this problem. The problem is wheel lockup when applying the brakes. It throws the passengers forward violently. I've had the brakes checked and the rotors and linings are fine. But in use they are not. The fear of lockup makes you overcautious and late in braking. The problem is worst when first driving the car but continues on and is a serious hazard. It is related to moisture but is more severe than anything I've experienced in my driving history. This needs to be corrected by a forced recall. My auto is 2004 chevy Colorado pickup.

I have had to have the emergency brake cable replaced twice due to poor engineering. The cable has a klew that transfers from one cable to two cables and that is located directly underneath the driver's side door, in the direct line of fire from road debris that comes off of the front tire. I have already had it replaced twice. The poorly designed cable easily seizes up from excessive dirt and corrosion getting inside the cable and it becomes no longer safe to operate. It is a manual transmission vehicle, so not having an operating cable brake is not a small problem.

Engineering defect of adjuster causes rear brakes to lock up. A TSB was issued but remedy will cause problem of brakes not adjusting correctly in the future.

Purchased 2004 chevy Colorado sport with lowered suspension in may 2004. The brake system has never been 100%. It will vary in degrees of pressure required to adequately slow down, or even stop the vehicle. It has been in to the dealer three times and each time they state nothing is wrong. The brakes also squeal with less than 9,800 miles on it and they state this normal. There have been several times we were driving and I attempted to stop the truck and it would either jerk very harshly or would require excessive peddle pressure to stop. I have driven two other exact same models and years and they do not have the problem, there for this vehicle is faulty. Last attempt to solve issue resulted in very rude service manager giving me gm phone # and basically telling me off and to leave dealership to contact them. I will never purchase a gm vehicle again and will be claiming a lemon law right on this one.

When applying brakes pedal proceeded to the floor and pulsated without warning.
