"takata recall" and brakes.
Stopped at right turn yield sign behind other vehicles; cars started to move the car ahead of me stopped again I put on my brakes and slowly hit the vehicle in the rear. After the incident I notice that my brake pedal would slowly go to the floor. When I hit the vehicle my pedal was hitting the floor, I had no brakes. No damage to my vehicle, minor damage to other vehicle's plastic bumper.
I own a 2006 chevy Colorado 4wd crew cab pick up with 22,000 mile. The abs fault alarm has been coming on and going off, started on 8/4/2011. Gm customer service has been notified. Repairs have yet to be made. With the age and mileage of vehicle, I would think that there is a defect in the abs system.
Abs brakes randomly engage or engage during normal applied braking.
I own a 2006 chevy Colorado, the abs fault message comes up daily, and the abs engages for no reason, making it nearly impossible to start. Many people are having this same issue and can be found all over the internet, including edmunds. Com. This is a safety hazard and there is no recall.
2006 chevy Colorado abs brake faults. Light comes on and brakes pedal hard to press. Brakes seem to not want to stop truck normally.
The rear brakes lock up at slow speeds, especially when slowing down to stop. They will do this in such a way that catches you off guard and throws you forward into the steering wheel. This has nearly caused a few serious accidents because the lock up takes away control of the truck. The severity of the lock ups varies somewhat. They may lock then unlock but they can just as easily lock up and bring the truck to a skidding stop. They are also squealing severely.
Feb 2009 took for oil change, was advised needed brakes. Brakes installed. Brakes have excessive grabbing ever since. . . . I will not drive on wet roads/rainy days. Brakes have locked up while sitting in driveway- cannot go forward or reverse. Have had at firestone automotive repeatedly for them to adjust the rear brakes. . . . . Now dealing with gm. . . Today is the 3rd time in their shop (patriot Chevrolet in dade city, FL) have been told by patriot Chevrolet that there is nothing else to do except keep adjusting them when they get too tight. I have to take to shop every 2-5 weeks for adjustment.
Brakes squeak and grab after rain or when wet. Problem occurs mostly upon first couple of stops. I have referred to the dealer they said rust buildup on rotors normal condition.
