Brake Electric Antilock problems of the 2001 Chevrolet S10

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet s-10. While driving 25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes made a screeching sound. There were no warning indicators or friction in the brake pedal. The vehicle failed to stop and rear ended another vehicle. The road conditions were wet. The front bumper was damaged and a police report was filed. The vehicle was driven to the repair shop. The current and failure mileages were 30,000.

With a hard application of brakes, especially over any rough surface, it appears that the antilock/skid feature fails and all braking ceases.

Brake pedal goes to the floor 60% of driving. I have had my pickup in two different Chevrolet dealership garages numerous times, but my brakes still go to the floor!.

While driving 70 mph consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle and drove it home. Consumer contacted the dealer, and service manager told consumer to bring vehicle in for inspection in two business days.

While driving at 30 mph brakes lost power, resulting in pedal fading and hard braking. Also, extended stopping. Dealer notified.

I have a 2001 S10 extended cab pickup. I have had several incidents of my brake pedal going to floor after hitting a bump. The latest event happened on 8/8/03 with my handicapped daughter in the vehicle. What could be causing this? my pickup has about 12,300 miles on it. Also how many problems like this has been noted.

Anti-lock brakes work sporadically, one side will lock and pull the car to that side, sometimes I press on the brake and the truck keeps going and then stops slowly, has caused me to almost get into crashes many times.

While driving at 35mph brakes went out, and it was hard to stop vehicle. Dealer notified.

Consumer states that when brakes are applyed they do not hold, had abs senor replaced problem reoccured.

I have taken this to the dealer three or 4 times. When they drive it around the parking lot it doesn't do it. The pedal would go to the floor. It doesn't do it all the time. The brakes have gotton better on regular driving now. When you go over a few little bumps that the pedel disappears. I went right through a stop sign after hitting a few bumps. If a another car had been coming I would have hit it. The car stops , but not when it should . My son drove the car and said it did the same for him also. I told them at the dealer to go over some bumps and see what it does, but they did not. This is the dealer frank beck in hillsdale mi. And the dealer royal Chevrolet in coldwater , mi. Both dealers said they couldn't find anything wrong. Didn't put on hoist . I can't believe my truck is the only one with this problem. I am afraid I will have a bad accident , maybe kill someone with this brake problem, or get killed myself. I don't know what else to do about this or who else to go to for help. I will be expecting to hear from some one soon . Sincerely yours, marjorie williams.

Second incident: 10/18/2000 going 15 mph with mileage of 986.

Anti lock brakes engage over small bumps. Also only one side engages making truck vere towards the side thats not engaged.

I noticed many other complaints similar to what I have experienced. Without warning, over a couple of small bumps or area of rough road, all braking is lost. It is a scary feeling especially if there is traffic or a traffic control device in front of you. I did notice that this happens less with weight in the pickup box.

When stopped on hill brake pedal will slowly go down after holding it tight. Dealer has put vehicle on computer, but claimed there was no defect.

The anti-lock brake system did not work effectively, when the consumer made a panic stop, the vehicle continued to move, also the front of the vehicle vibrated severely, the manufacturer/ dealer stated it was normal. Ph.

Consumer called complaining about having problems with the vehicle abs system, when applying the brakes fronts brake work properly but the rear brake always lock, due to a faulty design. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information. Ts.
