Two problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet K2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2000 Chevrolet K2500 silverado has 60,000 miles. The rear brakes do not function as designed. The interior brake pad, on the disc breaks, only come in contact with the rotor for 1/2 of an inch or less. I couldn't figure out why my anti-lock brakes engaged all the time and I think it is because an undue amount of braking pressure is placed on the front disc brakes as the rear brakes are clearly not engaging properly. I had midas review the brakes and they claim this is common. The rotors have to be replaced because all they do is rust since the brake pad hardly touches the rotor. I called my dealership who also said this is common. Have there been any investigations into chevy truck accidents and how the brakes function? do chevy truck owners even realize their 5,000-6,000 pound trucks, often used for towing, are not stopping as they were designed to stop? why hasn't there been a recall? who can I have inspect my brakes to confirm this common brake defect before I have them replaced?.
Consumer 2000 Chevrolet pickup has a safety defect in the antilock brake system. The consumer contacted the manufacturer about the abs recall and he was told that his vehicle was not included due to VIN.
