Two problems related to brake disc caliper have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Contact states: last month husband couldn't go any faster then 35 mph in a 55 mph zone . It was like something was stopping the wheel back from moving, and it started smoking from the wheel. Took vehicle to auto zone, and they said the brake was pressing up against the wheel. They had the brake pads and calipers changed. But that did not fix the problem. They took the car to the dealer. They put on loaded brake pads, and redid the hoses and the calipers . However, the problem was not solved, and they claimed that contaminated brake fluid was in the hoses. There was no contaminated fluid put in the car. Insurance adjusters stated they did not see any signs of contaminated brake fluid and that it was something mechanical.
When applying abs brakes vehicle intermittently pulls to right or left, cause unknown. Dealer first replaced brake hoses, however problem occurred again, dealer then filed calipers and aligned front end, this helped some but still did not correct problem, consumer removed abs fuse and vehicle did not pull when braking anymore, consumer told dealer about this, dealer replaced abs module and valve, replaced calipers, and problem still exists. Inside mirror replaced, it would not adjust. 3 uniroyal tires were out of round and were replaced, size p205/75r158, tires caused vibration and shaking.
