Brake Sensor Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

After new abs right front sensor was installed abs activates at slow stop. When applying light breaking pressure only activates just before stopping and may cause accident while still moving before complete stop.

This vehicle has had constant braking issues. From continual rotor replacements to regular pad replacements. The brake pedal has never been constant with regard to pressure and has always been"soft" when coming to a stop. The last 25 feet or so there is a vibration, hum, and when finally stopped, the pedal sinks another 1/2 inch or so like it sighs of relief. This makes it difficult to judge appropriate braking distances and lacks confidence in emergency situations. We took it to grossman Chevrolet where it was purchased in old saybrook CT. We were told theres nothing wrong and our driving style is to blame. That we were braking too hard and causing the rotors to warp. There is a fault in the abs sensor system and gm has done nothing to assist owners. It is a known issue. This must be recalled or repaired at gm expense. I will not pay a stealership any more money to fix an issue that is an engineering fault.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer 360. The contact indicated that the abs sensor illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The vehicle was repaired more than once by the dealer but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer after the two repairs and they were not able to replicate or diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving at 25 mph, the stability track warning light illuminated on the instrumental panel. The warning light illuminated twice. The dealer advised that the rack and pinion would need to be replaced, as well as the air bag sensors. The vehicle was repaired under factory warranty. In addition, the contact stated when applying the brakes, the brakes would feel abnormally soft and spongy. The dealer replaced the brake booster six times yet the failure persisted. The failure mileage was 5,012 and the current mileage was 16,000.

While coming to a stop in my 2001 chevy Trailblazer the brake system (abs) keeps engaging causing it not to stop. I have went through many stop signs and intersections from not being able to stop. Changed all the brakes ,bleed the brakes and put new sensors on. . Still having the same issues . I have read that gm knows that this is a flaw in the design ,what can be done about it?.

Abs activation at low speed and then abs holding up. I almost got into 3 accidents with small children in car. I have replaced brake pads, rotors, abs sensors, calipers, brake lines and brake switch. Nothing works. Front tire area catches on fire if driven for long distances. Hard time stopping. Gm will not recall or repair. There is a TSB (020525006) on same problem but not for my state. Recall in other parts of country for same problem, but gm states not for my state even though it is for same problem. Very dangerous to drive.

When we first got the truck my husband and I were driving at about 55 mph and went to brake suddenly and the truck would not stop, it made a grinding sound and I had to pump the brakes a few times before the finally stopped. After that we called the dealer and they said it is because the truck was new. . It is 2014 and still have the truck and still does the same thing. Lasst winter I had a bad incident where the car did the samed thing and almost got into a very bad accident, thank god I was able walk away with no injuries. We have reached out to the dealer numerous of times to say that there is something wrong with the brake mechanism of the truck and they say that there are no recalls on this vehicle. I dont know why the dealer just wont take the truck for a test drive and see why we are so concerned. They want to charge us almost $300 to run a diagnostics on the truck which we refuse to pay for. We took the car to a midas and the mechanic said that these trucks are known for having bad brake sensors, which makes all the sense. I just dont get it. . With all of the complaints that were given before the lastest electrical short recall they had, you would think they would take customers serioulsy before any more deaths occur, because of negligance.
