My truck started grinding everytime I used the brakes and the brakes would not stop you. I took it to a gm dealer ([xxx]). The hooked it up to a computer and it showed both abs sensors were bad in the front hubs. They said it would be around &1200 to fix them since it will take up to 8 hours for the type of sensor inside the hub. I feel this is a safety issue since you are unable to stop, and there are lots of other people on edmunds. Com complaining to gm about the exact same problem with the chevy Colorado. Please take a look at all the complaints. Thanks! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
2005 Chevrolet Colorado 4dr crew cab 2wd . 33,000 miles. Abs errors, trac errors and brake errors for no apparent reason. Today all three errors at same time, one after the other. Happened after driving down street to child's school and back, never going over 25 mph. Trac grinds first, and then abs engages at low speeds thus far. Known problem for other Colorado owners on edmunds. Com site. Chevrolet needs to recall these trucks before someone is hurt. Also heat sensors only allow heat and air to work on high. This happened around the same time we had the initial abs problem during summer of 2010, although the first time we received no errors for abs and were clueless as it is intermittent.
Was driving out of my parking lot earlier this summer, when the abs started kicking on by itself. With or without the brake pedal on the abs was still going. After a few days of this I was getting a little worried about the safety of driving this thing and unplugged an abs sensor. It was getting to be a daily thing, every time I drove the truck the abs would kick on at random times. Still have yet to properly fix the sensors.
I have a 2005 Colorado crew cab 4x4. On several different occasions the brake pedal had to be pumped to stop the vehicle. On wet roads it is like driving in the snow, it will slide in what ever direction you are traveling. I took it to the Chevrolet dealer and they had to replace the right hub and right sensor and put on new brake pads and shoes and it cost me $1,181. 80 and I still have no idea what caused the problem. When the brakes work they are very good but when they don't work it presents a big problem for me and my family. The brakes have always squeaked since the first day I drove it off the dealers lot and they are still squeaking today. I would take it back and have it looked at again, but I can't afford it !!!!!!!.
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact noticed that the front driver side anti lock brake sensor was faulty, causing the abs system to deactivate. The dealer advised the contact that the failure was not covered under warranty and offered no further assistance. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. No repairs were performed. The current mileage was 46,000. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000. The VIN was unavailable.
I have a 2005 chevy Colorado 2wd. I have a abs problem, the abs fault comes on while driving down the road. Checked codes getting c0035 c0040 c0220. I found bad wheel hub on left side. Replaced hub and abs sensor. Still had problem checked codes again,told me the right side abs sensor bad. I had replaced hub and sensor on the right side. The problem still there, spoke with a gm rep. Told me there was nothing they could for me except bring it in and check the problem. I am a ase certified mechanic so I do all my own work. With this problem I have abs stops while driving on dry normal surface roads at low speeds the truck will dart across the road and not stop until you pump the brakes . The problem has been happening everyday for a month. I have 75,550 miles on the truck, when I first bought the truck it only did it when the roads where wet. Not sure what to do about the issue except gm needs to recall and repair the issue. I have over $650. 00 tied up in the brake system on this truck only because I do my own work, if I went to the dealer who knows what it would cost me.
