Abs fault- locked up brakes- common problem with this vehicle- need a recall but knowing gm we will never see one (until someone dies) . . . . This is crazy the electrical problems with this vehicle and the lack of response from the federal government or gm.
Display says abs fault. The abs pulses when applying the brake.
The abs brakes fault will occur on occasions. This has been happening for over a month. It appears out of no where. The brakes became soft and noisy. I can pull over and shut the truck off, wait a few minutes then restart and the problem self corrects. This is happening more often now. I am getting a little scared this may happen when I need the brakes.
The abs is a constant issue on this model. If it fails while driving, which it has for me as well as a lot of others, it is hard to stop the truck. While you try to push the brake pedal the abs is active and fights against you making it hard to stop in time. This is an issue gm is aware of and should be forced to do a recall before there is a serious injury or fatality.

Abs fault problem 2005 chevy Colorado.
This failure started without cause nor warning. Abs problem. When truck starts and is driven on dry pavement, the first or second time the brake pedal is pressed, the abs will engage, limiting my braking ability. A minute later "abs fault" will appear on my dash. The brakes will work fine for the rest of my drive, except no abs will be available. This event can happen several times daily, but usually during the first morning start. Nothing has been done yet, still researching.
My 2005 Colorado brakes will lock up when cold. Especially after some moisture. This is very annoying and a safety concern since, I have gooten close to gettijng rear-ended when they lock up. This problem seems to invalidate my abs. The truck started doing it at about 30,000 miles. I have had the brakes checked, and they are fine. My 1993 s-10 did the same exact thing. I eventually got rid of the s-10, but now I have the very same problem with this Colorado. As far as I am concerned this is a very serious safety issue. Help. Helop. Help. Help.
I am stationed overseas in england and road get very slippery. There are dealerships over here, but they don't mess with american trucks. Everytime I get going, my abs keeps faulting out and there is no error code popping up, but yet my brakes keep going out and I am wondering what's going to happen when all the brakes go out and I can't stop or even injure someone else or even worse my kids.
Abs alarms at various times, which disables the abs system. There is a technical service bulletin for this problem. So far no recall. The left front wheel is the source of this problem. It appears that chevy Colorados have this condition.
Problem with my chevy Colorado. There is a grinding sound every time I brake. It even does it when I go five miles an hour. It does it every time that I take a turn in the streets even if I do not use the brakes. This fault in the abs system worries me a lot, because I think it's a serious safety issue.
The abs and parking break signal comes on on the dash and will remain on for 2 to 3 days. The brakes also lock up and make a horrible sound. I'm not able to push the brake peddle down because it gets harder to push and it agitates. I have owned my Colorado for 6 years and it happens quite frequently. This concerns me because my 16 year old daughter drives my truck often.
Abs braking system. When it is sandy,wet,slippery out I go to apply my brakes it makes a errn noise and the truck does not stop for 8-10 ft after that I have been in 3 minor fender benders. I have brought this to the dealer 3 times to look at it and they tell me that this is how it works(not stopping ? ) is there a place I can go to get this checked out.
After re-lining rear brakes they lock up and grab after about 1000 miles. Relining has been done two times by repair shop, same conditions after noted mileage. Brakes are even worse when it rains or during high humidity conditions. Lock up and/or grabbing tends to cause temporary loss of control on wet surfaces. Repair shop has inquired to manufacturer regarding this condition, manufacturer is aware that this condition exists, but states that they have not issued any TSB's or recalls. I spoke with several other owners of the same make and model, they too are experiencing the same conditions. Incidents with this problem have been prevalent for about 6 months.
Rear brakes noise sometimes lock up.
: the contact stated the brakes felt soft, and there was a metal-on-metal squealing while braking normally. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer and the brakes were replaced 17 times. The dealer determined there was premature wear on brakes. The most recent time the vehicle was repaired, the brakes were worn after 2 weeks. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the wear.
: the contact stated while braking at various speeds in the rain, the brake pedal has to be pumped to stop the vehicle. The dealership sent a service man to the contact's residence, who determined the brakes are locked. The vehicle has not been inspected at the dealership.
Rear brakes "freeze" after the emergency brake is released. Have to drive several days with the rear brakes shoes applying friction to the rear drums. This has been a problem since I purchased the truck new in 2004.
Abs braking system not working and locking up brakes.
This truck has a recurring problem where the rear brakes freeze into position when the emergency (parking) brake is applied. Has been happening for 10 years since I bought the truck new. If the emergency brake is set, the rear brakes will not release when the lever is released by the driver. I am stuck where I parked with a set of frozen rear brakes. In order to get home I am forced to drive with the rear brakes engaged causing a severe overheating condition in the rear wheels and potential for a brake fire near the gas tank. Gm said there was not a problem and refused to fix this problem under warranty. It is still a problem and gm still refuses to fix this prolem even though there are thousands of drivers with this "freezing rear brakes" issue. My work around? I don't use the parking brake. I have a stick shift and the engine compression alone will not hold the truck in place on a sloped driveway, so I have to carry a block of wood to place behind the wheels as my "parking brake". Gm needs to recall chevy Colorado trucks for this systemic failure in the rear brake systems.
