Four problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My brakes do not always work; I often have to pump the brakes up just to be able to get them to apply. It is very scary. I can put my foot all the way to the floor, and the truck will barely slow down. I feel I will likely rear-end somebody or roll into a busy intersection because the brakes will not work.
I was turning left and another car coming from the opposite direction made a right turn in front of me and I hit my brakes and tried to stop but my abs did not kick in and I slid about thirty feet and hit there car.
The parking brake is inoperable. The rachet mechanism does not work--I. E. Does not hold the brake in a set position. Worked the prior time set on a hill 5 months earlier.
At low speed and when going over bumps in road the abs system engages making it hard to stop. This has been happening for the last 5 years that I have noticed and happens everytime this situation happens.
