Twice now while lightly applying brakes to come to a stop at an intersection the antilock brake system engaged. Since it was unexpected I almost didn't come to a stop in time before rolling into the intersection into traffic. The abs warning indicator was illuminated intermittently before this with recorded dtc c0268 (pump motor circuit shorted). Also the transfer case input shaft seal failed which caused transmission fluid to leak into the transfer case, completely filling it. That caused the transfer case vacuum switch to fail and transmission fluid was sucked into the vacuum lines and eat through them causing a vacuum leak. Because of the vacuum leak, whenever I would accelerate to highway speeds and the engine would use what vacuum it could, the 4wd actuator would lose its vacuum then regain it when the rpm's dropped and try to lock the front axle while at highway speeds which would cause the truck to jerk and the gears to grind. And lastly the airbag warning indicator is always illuminated for reasons I do not know.
The service air bags is stuck on also the service brake system wont go off.

On March 17, 2003, I was travelling eastbound on waters avenue when a hartline bus stopped two cars ahead of me. I came to a complete stop as the bus was letting passengers on and off. A female driving a Ford taurus was travelling 45 miles per hour and swerved to avoid my truck. She hit the rear bumper, shattering the back window of my chevy S10. The truck proceeded to be lifted up and was thrusted into the SUV ahead of me. As I tried to get out of my driver's side door, I noticed it was jammed. I took of my seatbelt and proceeded to get out my passenger door. That is when I noticed that neither airbag had gone off. Noticing that, and also noticing her airbag was deployed. I proceeded to ask the police officer if my airbag should have deployed. He replied, "yes it should have gone off and you're lucky you were wearing a seatbelt or you would have sustained serious injury due to hitting the windshield. " I went to town and country hospital and was informed that I had sustained lower back strain and whiplash. My truck was a total loss because the frame was bent. I purchased the chevy S10 because it had airbags and I felt I would be safe in an accident. I would like to know any information of any recalls or problems with airbags of the chevy S10s. I feel this is a very serious situation and was very lucky I wasn't more seriously injured. I hope that my inquiry into this matter is taken seriously. Sincerely yours, kevin s. Feldman.
