Two problems related to brake light on have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brake light and abs light come on and stay on for a while and then go off. After braking and rolling over a small bump in road at stop sign pedal loses pressure and stopping becomes hard. I rolled past stop sign and was lightly struck on passenger side door. I have investigated this problem and I am not the only one to have experienced this problem.
Abs brake system continuously becomes inoperable and the light comes on with the red brake light. The dealer says it trash in the system and doesn't think it needs to be replaced. Now the lights stay on all the time and inspection is due. Due to this manufacturer defect, the part cost $900. 00 and then labor, job will be $1300. 00. I have a 2000 Ford windstar van with the same problem. Is there something that can make the manufacturer pay for the repair? this is a closed system that has never been touched or serviced.
