Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Colorado

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the abs warning light flashed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who replaced all of the brake sensors on four occasions but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side sensor needed to be replaced. The technician did not disclose any further information. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

The abs light comes on and brakes go to the floor with minimum to no stopping power. When this happens the brakes wine. After this happens brakes return to normal but the abs light comes on and stays on until the vehicle is cycled on/off. Once the computer sees that there is no issues with the abs, the light goes off. This leaves you to believe that there was a "bug" in the electronics. Then without warning or a duration of time the problem comes back. And then this process starts all over again. Whats happens when I need the brakes to prevent a accident? after researching online this is a very common issue with this vehicle.

Abs warning light will come on in dry weather and abs will engage diminishing braking. This is a known problem with Chevrolet and GMC 2004 - 2006 Colorado and canyons. GMC will refuse to do anything about it. My personal case is that they told me that they closed my complaint until I spend $100. To have diagnostics run for the error codes. All one has to do is go to edmunds. Com and look at the hundreds of complaints out there for this very problem, or any other vehicle forum for that matter. Even the error codes are shown. I finally relinquished and took vehicle to dealer to have codes read. Just like the forums state the error codes came back, c0035, left front sensor and c00220, left front in release too long. Sensor and new hub is estimated by dealer to be $762. 00!!!!dealer also stated gm is aware of this problem and it is due to poor/flawed design. My vehicle, even though it is a 2005, is in showroom condition. I severely baby this truck, even to the point I paint the undercarriage 3 - 4 time a year. This is a true safety hazard and will cause an accident due to the abs engaging unexpectedly in completely dry weather and the brake pedal begins to thump and braking is severely reduced.

Vehicle for no apparent reason will engage abs where brakes will pulsate and a temporary reduction in brakes will occur. This will occur when there is no rain, streets are dry and sunny. Immediately after this occurrence the abs fault light will come on and stay on until car is stopped, turned off, and restarted. Took vehicle in to gm dealership and they said brakes were fine. When abs engages, for no apparent reason, one will feel brake pedal pulsating and a loss of braking which causes some immediate alarm for fear of running into somebody or possibly allowing car to go too far into an intersection when trying to stop. Many web sites, forums and blogs, such as edmonds are loaded with these complaints on 2004 - 2006 Colorado's, as this is not just a single occurrence in a couple of vehicles. Contacted Chevrolet but they always point me to dealership for them to read computer code for error at a cost of $100 and then will price out the cost for repair. This is a safety hazard that gm is very aware of and selects not to address.

2005 chevy Colorado abs brakes . Abs fault light comes on and brakes start pulse then get hand to push down on an the truck is hard to stop very fast. There seem to be a lot of chevy Colorados and GMC cayons that have this going on in years 2004 through 2007 this is a very serious problem and some one is going to get killed if it has not already happened . Gm needs to recall all these pickup and fix them . Also the wheel hub that the abs sensor connects to also has to be replace . It dos not matter what the miles are 1 to 100,00 miles on the auto it happens and this needs fixed now.

Abs fault light constantly comes on/goes off, and it is apparent that the system is failing.

The abs light comes on at very low speeds. The abs activates when driving on dry roads. When braking, the pedal vibrates and pushes back on my foot, while making a springing noise. I have come close to crashing numerous times because of the abs activating and the lack of braking when the abs activates. The cost of the repair is upward of $1000 per wheel and the code is indicating both front wheels. I was told by a mechanic that the issue is common, but gm refuses to issue recall. I have read hundreds of complaints online of other owners having the same issue.

On multiple occasions, the abs fault light comes on. This is just one of many problems focused around the brakes. Abs fault light is still on, my brake pedal action is soft. Brakes have been replaced. The right front outer brake pad was stuck and wore down to the metal. All the other front brake pads had good wear on them except for the front outer pad. Something is not right with the brake system on these trucks. I've checked a number of web sites and this brake problem is occurring with many trucks and many owners in many stated. I've even read the same complaints posted through the NHTSA . For the same brake problems please do something before someone is killed.

Purchased 2005 Colorado with 33,000 vehicle may 2008. Less than a year later the abs light came on with the abs light flashing on dic. There are other complaints on file with NHTSA about this very same problem but still no recall, some resulting in crashes. Spoke with Chevrolet yesterday but they are not willing to do anything about it. I guess there has to be more crashes or some deaths to get a recall on this dangerous situation! there is now 49,000 miles on it.

Abs fault light comes on. The abs sensor seems to malfunction causing the abs brakes to pulsate and then fault. This is a known problem on the edmonds forum, but the manufacture has not been any help. I have had both rotors and the abs sensors replaced twice. The error does not occur all the time. To stop the error, you must pull over, turn the car off and restart the car. The vehicle has had the problem for the last 15,000 miles. I have been told that this is not a safety problem. I have seen reports on the edmonds site of the back brakes freezing and causing accidents. However, it has been reported the chevorlet does not believe it is a big enough problem for a recall. I think that given their is a bulletin board with many chevorlet Colorado owners looking for help that shows it is a problem.
