2 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2014

Brake light went out. Brake switch was serviced 2 years ago under a recall for the exact same problem. Gm will not replace the part unless I pay for a new one. How can a new part have the same exact problem as in the recall. The cruise control will not work.

Can no longer roll down the drivers or passangers windows. No longer have any control of the power locks from either door control or remote. Blower for air only works on high setting 1 2 and 3 work intermittently. The brakes will start to sound like they are pulsating and then the abs fault comes on the dash and the brake light lights up.

The brake lights have stopped working,turn signals have stopped working,engine will not start,turnover, abs brake system malfunctions.

5 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2008

Abs failure. 3 months after mfg warranty expired the abs failure light came on. Abs system activates randomly even when not braking, buzzed, abs and brake lights on, then abs failure displayed. Stayed on until it randomly turned off by itself. Daily repeating of problem. Codes said abs sensor failure. Had it replaced, no resolution. Problem kept happening. Had entire front hub assembly replaced with new abs sensor installed at factory, still same problem. Had wiring checked, all ok. Persistent problem for years. Gave up on gm ever fixing it. Apparently on gm Canyon/colorado forums this is a major persistent dangerous problem. Most users opt to disable the abs system because gm cannot provide a solution. Sounds like another of gm's brilliant engineers design failures. Shocked no one has been killed yet. All these vehicles on the road with failing or disabled abs systems and gm hasn't a clue.
