2 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2012

For the past couple of years there has been a problem with my anti-lock brakes. When applying the brakes, the brake pedal vibrates excessively as if the anti-lock brakes are activating. After a short time driving, an abs warning light activates indicating a fault. I am very concerned because first, the brakes do not act in the way a driver would expect and when applying the brakes I get concerned every time that the brakes will not work. Secondly, I believe the fault may cause the abs to no longer function in conditions it has been designed for. Upon further research of this problem, it is apparent that this is a widespread issue among Colorado and canyon trucks. A "fix" for this problem is reportedly in the range of $1500 with many owners reporting that the problem has returned or continued. I feel that any issue involving a faulty brake component must be addressed as soon as possible. Chevrolet has chosen not to do this and I fear this may be yet another failure on the part of gm to address a safety issue involving one of their vehicles. I would have a hard time believing that I am the first to report this issue. I really do not want to become a statistic. Please help! thank you kindly for your time. Please note that the incident date, mileage and speed are only estimates.

4 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 12/25/2009

Have a 2006 chevy Colorado I am the only owner and at about 30,000 miles the abs fault light started to come on and off . Took to dealer and they could not find anything wrong. At 37,000 miles light stays on and brakeing feels interupted at times . Took back to dealer and they said that whole hub needed replaced on the left side at a cost of nearly $700. 00 and that the right side would probably need replaced soon to. I am 77 years old and the cost of the truck was $33,000 . I have been into the forums for this truck and there are hundreds of same complaints . Should this not be a reason for a gm recall ? thanks gm I have been a loyal gm purchaser for 58 years.
