Chevrolet K2500 owners have reported 8 problems related to brake electric antilock (under the service brakes category). 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?.

While braking on dry pavement approaching a crosswalk the abs system chatters and allows the vehicle to roll ahead without warning. Complete failure has not occurred but twice I have come dangerously close to hitting a person in the crosswalk. Problem has not been repaired, but to avoid further occurence the fuse for abs has been pulled out resulting in conventional positive braking.
Gm wants me to pay for a recall repair on my vehicle.
