-brakes failed to stop vehicle (2002 cherolet S10 pickup) while traveling at low speed (20-35 mph). Brake pedal went to the floor at least once, possibly more, as I tried to get the brakes to engage. Brakes finally caught but on the right side only for the vehicle jerked to the right before it came to a stop. Vehicle, which is still under warrenty, was towed to dealer and no defects or problems were found. Dealer stated that there is nothing they can do to since they cannot replicate problem.

When trying to break suddenly(someone in front or someone pulling out in front of me) when road is wet from rain the steering wheel shakes violently and brakes seem to pause before breaking.

When coming upon a stopped vehicle ( approx 10 carl length ahead of my car ) I was traveling at about 25 to 30 mph when I applied my brakes to gradually slow down but all I got was a vibration from the brake pedal but no braking. I continued a firm push on the brakes but rolled into the stopped vehicle without any slowing of my vehicle. I held the pedal down solid with no pumping. The truck in front of me sustained little if any noticeable damage. I had to be towed.
When I really need my brakes as in a panic stop situation they are not there. The other day a deer ran in front of me and I hit the brakes hard and the abs like shut my brakes off. Luckily I was able to swerve off the road and no damage was done. Also on snow or ice I hate driving this truck because the slightest pressure on the brake pedal will render the brakes useless. I don't drive fast and am aware of stop signs on the way home. I slow down way before the sign and still go right through it as if I have no brakes. This is a great truck except for the fear I have of not having any brakes when I need them. I just know that sooner or later an accident will happen.

The truck itself is great , however the abs engaging at inappropriate times is a harrowing experience . I've called the dealers ,and requested information about the news reports of vehicle recall, however at this time it is still being investigated . Should something happen to my son , myself , or both , I just wanted some type of record. Especially w/ the approach of winter .
1st instance brakes did not stop vehicle on icy pavement. 2nd instance, in panic situation, pedal went nearly to the floor and vehicle continued to move approx. 200 feet before crashing.
Abs failure.
Driving across the bridge the abs anti-lock brake locked up . Please describe . 8ak.
During normal braking the abs kicks in. When this problem first started the abs kicked in during the normal braking at 50mph, now the abs kicks in at 25mph and up. The rotors has been turned, the sensors has been replaced twice and other work had been done and the problem is still occurring.
