We have had problems with the brakes on our 2000 Silverado 1/2 ton since we bought it in 2003. We have replaced both rear and front brakes (including front rotors). The pedal has always been soft, and sometimes goes right to the floor. The abs light comes on and off. Recently the brakes have been failing, resulting in us rolling through stop signs, gas stations, driveway, causing dangerous situations. The pedal either goes to the floor, or the anti-lock grabs, causing the brakes to 'catch' and 'uncatch' and us to roll through. My husband and I are both concerned about the money we are putting into these brakes, and are worried that an accident is imminent if the brakes continue to function in this way. Our dealer says they can do nothing until a recall letter is sent out. As of now, we have had the abs disconnected by our mechanic, so that we can have some brakes without the worry of the anti-lock catching and us rolling through intersections. Is chevorlet worried about this? when can we expect something to be fixed by gm?.
There is a problem with the abs brake system . On 8-15-05 the brakes failed, causing the consumer to run a stop light at an intersection. The consumer was able to safely get the vehicle home without incident. After the brake failure he noticed the abs warning light came on. The consumer has not driven the vehicle since. The consumer has not been able to take the vehicle to a dealer to be inspected as of yet. The consumer had contacted the dealership and they told him to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer told him that it was under investigation.
Contact states vehiclewas in an accident because the brakes failed. Contact started to slow down and the brakes would not go down. When pressed the brakes were hard and stayed in the upward position. The abs light illuminated.
I see that the NHTSA is currently investigating gm brake failure problems and I would like to relay my recent experiences with the failure of my brakes. I was on vacation back in early April when the abs warning light illuminated and stayed on. I took the vehicle to solomon Chevrolet for diagnosis. I was informed that the brake traction control module (btcm) had failed and the repairs would cost approximately $1100. I elected not to have the item repaired at that time due to the cost involved. After returning home, on 4/26, the entire brake system warning light illuminated and stayed on. I took the vehicle to dundee Chevrolet and was informed that not only was the btcm defective, but also the hydraulic actuator. In addition they stated that I needed both front and rear brakes replaced (pads and rotors). They said that my brakes were falling apart. Total cost for the repairs would be $3031. 00. After contacting gm they offered to goodwill the btcm and hydraulic actuator, but I still had to pay for an entire brake job. Eventual cost was $1566. 00. I am extremely disappointed and amazed that I suffered a catastrophic failure of the brake system after only 42000 miles. Unbelieveable.
The vehicle came to a rolling stop at about 5 miles per hour, the abs check light illuminated when the brakes were applied. Owner will contact the manufacturer.
Vehicle was taken to dealer for replacement of brakes and rotors. Few weeks later, the abs light illuminated. Consumer took vehicle back to dealer, and was told that brakes needed to be replaced again. Cost would be $400. 00 since it was not under warranty.
In my 2000 chevy Silverado 4x4 truck, without warning the brake pedal went to the floor as I was pulling into my garage and the vehicle did not stop causing minor damage to garage contents (shelves, stored garden equipment; no damage to truck). My mechanic could find no problem after inspection. Brake failure occured twice more and then I went to the dealer mechanic. The abs error light never came on. I paid approximately $500 to replace driver side front abs sensor. This was in oct 2004 so the old part is not available.
With only 52,000 miles on vehicle, the abs warning light comes on and stays on. I have been told by reputable service technician that the abs control module must be replaced at a cost of $690 for materials alone. I have also been advised the abs system is inoperable until this is corrected. I believe this is very premature for this type of problem to occur.
Abs warning light on dashboard.
Went to the store. The brakes was fine had a hard pedal. Came back out started the truck. Put foot on the brake pedal. The pedal went to the floor. The abs light came on. Put the truck in reverse truck started to back up. Put truck back in park. Called gm. Put the truck in the shop. The pedal went to the floor with little pressure over the weekend. Gm says no problem found and showed me another truck about like mine had the same problem. I drove several other trucks had hard pedal on them. I think there is a problem with these trucks and will not take mine back unless they address the problem. They are saying that nothing is wrong and was not wrong. Although I have 7 witnesses to the problem. Please help before someone gets hurt in these trucks. Thank you.
After starting vehicle applied brake to get ready to back out of parking space and pedal went to floor, and vehicle continued backwards. Abs light was on, had vehicle towed to dealer, who said brakes were fine. Chevrolet company told consumer that was how brakes acted in a vehicle with abs. Consumer test drove 10 other vehicles like it at dealers, all 10 had brakes that did not go to floor. Brakes worked on consumer's vehicle, but pedal went to floor before there was any braking action.
