Abs brake failure - after going over a bump or railroad track when coming to a stop there is a grinding noise on the driver's side and when brakes are applied pedal will go to the floor. Pumping of the pedal will not get the pedal height back. The brake pedal will continue to go to the floor for as many times as I apply the brakes. After vehicle is parked for half a day or longer, the pedal will return to a high pedal and everything seems okay. This condition has happened twice so far.

What owners say
While consumer was driving vehicle suddenly stopped, and there was a very loud grinding noise, but vehicle was not moving at all. Has not contacted dealer.
Engine bearing failure: premature, chevrolet accepts no responsibility, no offer to help repair (probably linked to odi id's 717356,465597,837150,525624,811729, and 487859. ||| ABS brake failure: occurred while attempting to avoid a collision. Truck skidded for over 90 feet before striking curb and utility fixtures. Gm denied any possibility that the brakes failed. Gm offered no assistance to have brakes examined or repaired for defects. ||| cruise control - stopped working. ||| transfer case failure - truck tries to engage 4wd intermittently while driving (grinding noise). First trip to dealer, said that the problem was brakes ($400 later still grinding). 2nd time, problem found to be defective vacuum switch (damage occurred inside transfer case due to failure). 3rd time chevrolet recommends replacing engine for bearing failure before starting on the transfer case. ||| all cases, gm declined financial assistance. In the case of ABS brake failure, gm reps did not want to talk to me or look at the problem. I am tired of dealing with chevrolet's customer no-service group!!!

- Risk
- If this occurred at a time when minimum stopping distance was required, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace or repair the 4-wheel/2-wheel drive switch.
