I drive this vehicle almost everyday of the week. When I step on the brakes it feels like the anti-lock brake system is activating. This happens about five times a week. It happens, most notably, when the pavement is dry. I step on the brakes and feel the left front wheel abs kick in, after the abs pulsing stops the brake pedal goes down a considerable distance. It seems like it is only the left side and not the right side front brake that does this. This is a serious safety hazard as I don't know how the vehicle would respond in an actual ice/snow condition.

Brakes: the front brakes will lock up at slow speeds, particularly if the vehicle has set idle for a few days. This has been a continuous problem for the last 4 years. Additionally, the anti-lock brakes will sometimes engage, allowing the vehicle to continue, with no means of stopping.

1998 chevy blazer, brakes are slipping when coming to a complete stop, or moving under 10 mph. I understand there is a recall for gm SUV's ( NHTSA campaign number: 05v379000) and believe based on my experience the chevy blazer should be included in the recall.

Driving 45 mph, car suddenly stopped in front of my daughter (driver), applied brake which went to the floor and did not stop vehicle resulting in collision with vehicle and extensive damage to our S10 front; air bags did not deploy.

I have experienced the exact same situation with the abs brakes on my 2002 Chevrolet s-10 crew cab pick-up truck as described below: feds probe gm brakes Tuesday, may 03, 2005 the national highway traffic safety administration said Monday that stopping distances may increase when the brakes are applied at speeds of under 10 mph because of the buildup of corrosion. In some of the vehicles, the corrosion of salt and other cold-weather road substances led to unwanted activation of the brake system at low speeds and increased the stopping distance. Regards, jim zelasny.

I am having the same problems with my antilock brakes as other gm trucks are having with the exception that I have an s-10 instead of a fullsize truck as mentioned in the newspaper article from may 27 in the detroit news. I would like to know if there is going to be anyone looking into the s-10 of having the same problem. I have had three near misses of an accident at slow speeds and every time its the same problem. I really think gm needs to address this problem before somebody gets seriously hurt. Thank you in advance for your help.

Anti-lock brakes are activating unnecessarily . Gm has a recall for 1999-2002 vehicles for same problem caused by corrosion in wheel sensor. Saw the recall in newspaper. I bought this vehicle at auction. Originally was used by vermont department of transportation, apparently it has the same defect as the 1999-2002 vehicles.

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

While driving, the consumer applied the brakes and the rear brakes locked up. Provide further details.

While appying brakes at 40 mph brake pedal went to the floor, and the vehicle continued to move, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer was not notified.

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.

When the brakes are applied, there is a delay before the vehicle will stop. The abs only locked up on the front driver side. Dealer notified. Please provide further information.

When applied the brakes on normal conditions. Vehicle will take longer to stop, making unsafe to drive. Please provide further information.

When depressing the brakes brake pedal pulsated and pedal touched the floor. This caused the vehicle to have extended stopping distance. Consumer took vehicle to the dealership on two separate occasions, but problem recurred.

Took my 1997 S10 pickup to a mechanic and requested he check the brakes. The brake pedal faults when continueing to apply pressure and begins to make a bouncing type of feeling and the distance to stop (especially on wet roads) cannot be determined. This is a dangerous problem. The mechanic stated that the abs were faulty and to contact a dealer and have the VIN researched for recalls, etc. Also referred me to NHTSA.

(1) driving on a dry, sunny, summer day. I was braking for a stop sign. (2) abs kicked in unexpectedly when vehicle slowed to somewhere below 10 mph. This had happened before, but this time it nearly prevented the vehicle from coming to a stop. Almost caused me to enter a busy intersection with cross traffic approaching. (3) abs was disabled by removing the appropriate fuse. No further action taken. However I recently noticed the similarity between this incident and the symptoms described in NHTSA campaign id number : 05v379000 for full-size chevy trucks.

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.

The abs brakes engaged, which caused the vehicle to lose brake power.

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.

I was parking my truck in my apt parking structure after work on 9/14/02, upon finding a parking space I made a 3 point turn to get into the parking space. I reversed then stopped and placed the truck in drive as I was about to pull forward into the parking space. At that point I barely touch the gas expecting to coast into the space and then suddely the motor just started revving up. I didn't think twice and just jumped on the brake with both feet but the truck wouldn't stop. We ended up jumping the cement parking stopper on the ground, which lifted the front end into the air about 2-3 feet, and sent us smashing into the block wall directly infront of us. I now have $2,200 worth of front end damage, and am really worried about driving that truck again.
