My 2006 chevy Colorado is having abs problems. Brakes are squishy and pumping own their own for no apparent reason. Sometimes when I apply the brakes they aren't totally there. The peddle will almost go to the floor. The abs and park brake light comes on and off. This has been going on for quite along time (last couple of years). Have heard numerous others complain about the same thing. Just check the internet. Am I in danger of a crash? please address this problem we are all having.

Rear brake grab and premature rear brake wear.
On way to work, I started braking while slowly coming to a red light. My brakes did not stop me and I crashed into another truck. I had extensive front end damage,while the other vehicle had none. When I applied the brakes, they went to the floor. Also noticed pulling to the right. . . . Had new tires and alignment at sears(well after the accident) and, they said brakes were fine and did an alignment. When I had the accident damage repaired, I asked the dealer ship to check the brakes. They said they pulled the wheels and checked the brakes and road checked the truck, the braking incident failed to happen for them. So they claimed. I have also had other incidences where the wheels will spin upon acceleration from a stop on wet roads and also locking up on wet roads, and a grinding noise. Des someone have to get killed in order for gm to send out a recall notice for this defect? my truck now has 37000 miles o it but the problems have been persisting for several years. I also had to replace the two front tires at 20,000 miles( which I had done at sears after the accident) as they went completely bald. These what recourse do I have?.

Emergency brake hangs down below.
2005 chevy Colorado, emergency brake cable is hanging 3 inches, below the frame rail, a clearance of 11 inches. I caught a piece of rebar steel sticking up from a cattle quard on a dirt road, and my vehicles slammed to a stop, throwing me out of the drivers seat, and against the door on the passenger side, dislocating my shoulder, a putting my vehicle in the ditch, with damage, to the wind=deflector, fog lamp, dent in bumper. My phd. Major is in constuction equipment engineering, this routing of the emergency brake cable, in such a manner is an extremely poor design, a bad idea, and consistent with the use of intern level engineers that gm uses on lower priced production vehicles. I want my routing redesigned, and repaired, so that this does not happen again, just March your fat ass out and take a look, at one of your Colorado's for yourself, and you will see the emergency brake cable hanging down, below the frame rails, and measure the clearance for yourself, unloaded vehicles 11 in. Loaded vehicle 7 in. Tell me the name of the engineer, who is so damn stupid. So, I know who's ass to kick.
