Filed Oct 26, 2020 · Brakes · 122,000 miles · NC

When braking the ABS brake system locks. It locks up into a limited slip mode while braking at a normal stop. It does not brake correctly. It pumps badly while attempting to stop. This happens multiple time a day when driving. Have to break way before needing to because it will slip. Typically happens in parking lots and regular streets when using breaks. In motion. This has been happening since march 2020.

I have replaced the hub assembly, idler arm, & wheel bearings on both driver & passenger side of my vehicle. When I drive over 45 MPH my car makes an awful sound & no matter what I change or have fixed the parking brake/ABS lights stay on. I've had many mechanics look at & say they've fixed the issue but none have actually fixed it. I was driving 70mph on the highway & my brakes felt as if they were locking up.

The ABS gradually came on. When applying the brakes, the wheels lock up and the blazer skids about a foot. I have had numerous near accidents because of the ABS. I took the blazer into the chevrolet dealership and they ran the VIN. I was told that there are no recalls for my blazer. However, according to the federal safety agency website, there are two recalls (00v055000 & 99v220000). I would like to know whether or not there are any recalls.

My 2000 blazer ls 2dr 4x4 has ipc problems. The ipc lights have gone out and do not illuminate the gauges, this is a safety hazard when driving. The ABS and parking brake indicator lights go on and off. The parking brake sticks and wont release. Due to the number of complaints, recalls, and service bulletins issued on these safety problems I think more should be done to hold the manufacturer responsible for repairing these defects. The first 11 digits of my VIN match at least 2 other vehicles first 11 digits and yet chevy doesn't feel they should fix the issue with all blazers. I am concerned with the safety of my vehicle.

2000 chevy blazer - ABS system activates at low speed. Has to drive into a ditch to avoid hitting a bicycler. Repair shop said wheel speed sensors are probably corroded. Gm has a recall in 2005 on large suvs but not the blazer, although it's the same sensor.

Abs engages at very low speeds on dry pavement. Brakes slip causing longer braking/stopping distance. Abs light comes on briefly after the event takes place. This presents for dangerous road conditions, especially in town/city environment where often instantaneous braking decisions occur (children playing, animals crossing, etc.).

2000 chevy blazer has ABS light come on. When this occurs the brakes do not work. It does not matter if the speed is extremely low-or going 55mph-65mph depending on posted speed limit. If you barely touch them it slips/does not grab. If you try to pump the brake pedal it goes to the floor two or three times before catching. You can hear a noise before the ABS light comes on-you can feel the brake pedal get tight and then real loose before light comes on. The light does not stay on, nor do you have a warning about it coming on. I just had new brake pads and rotors put on- the brakes should be better than new- however, does'nt matter if they are being told by a sensor or other computer chip/light that they don't work! I've been told it is the ABS brake motor valve body assembly part, that is malfunctioning. Please investigate before somebody gets hurt or dies. There is also another woman at my work who has the same vehicle and has the same problem on occassion, they have spent days trying to identify the problem.

The ABS module went bad. Symptoms were anti-lock brakes activating at low speeds and vehicle not stopping. You push the brakes and the pedal pushed back at you. This is a very common problem for these vehicles. I had to remove the ABS fuse because it was safer to have not have ABS than to apply brakes and not being able to stop. The part is also unavailable from aftermarket stores, dealer only item at $500 a piece. This is extremely dangerous and should be investigated.

I parked vehicle after driving approximately 45 minutes on a highway. Began return trip approximately 1 hour later and ABS light came on. Upon entering the highway the ABS light went out and the engine began to rev and wouldn't shift into high gear. Was able to use local access roads to get home. Problem diagnosed by an independent garage and corroborated by transmission repair center as transmission failure. No apparent problem with the ABS. Vehicle has 20,235 miles on it, and we were the original owners. Vehicle has never been taken off the road, has never towed anything, and has probably only been put into 4-wd 20 times. Complete transmission rebuild required at a cost to us of $2,000.

Abs activates while braking at low speeds causing an increased stopping distance which has nearly resulted in hitting pedestrians or other vehicles. This happens several times daily.
