Dt*: the contact stated while driving at various speeds on rough roads the brakes grab and the vehicle slides. This happens intermittently. The dealer can not duplicate the problem therefore, no repairs have been made.
Purchased 2004 chevy colorado sport with lowered suspension in may 2004. The brake system has never been 100%. It will vary in degrees of pressure required to adequately slow down, or even stop the vehicle. It has been in to the dealer three times and each time they state nothing is wrong. The brakes also squeal with less than 9,800 miles on it and they state this normal. There have been several times we were driving and I attempted to stop the truck and it would either jerk very harshly or would require excessive peddle pressure to stop. I have driven two other exact same models and years and they do not have the problem, there for this vehicle is faulty. Last attempt to solve issue resulted in very rude service manager giving me gm phone # and basically telling me off and to leave dealership to contact them. I will never purchase a gm vehicle again and will be claiming a lemon law right on this one.
1. Abs kept kicking in on low speed stops such as a simple stop at a stop sign. 2. Result I was unable to stop when a truck stopped in front of me.
Dt: standard braking was fine but when the consumer needed the ABS it did not work. In normal braking the wheels started to lock up and it released but it never reengaged. The ABS trouble light as well as a information center on his dashboard illuminated indicating a problem with the ABS. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined there was a problem with the front ABS sensor. The dealer didn't have the part to repair the problem. Gm is pending the outcome of the investigation. Gm indicated the faulty ABS would not have caused an accident at this time.
The vehicle tends not slow down when the vehicle is going down hill and the driver is down shifting and braking. Owner will contact manufacturer.*ak the engine and transmission doesn't provide braking when shifting to a lower gear when going down a hill.
Brake and gas pedal are to close together for people with larger feet. I wear a size 13 shoe and when I wear my hiking boots, I have about 1/4" clearance between the right side wall and the brake pedal, my foot continually catches on the brake pedal. I am looking into moving the brake pedal to the left or putting on a new pad to give more room in between the brake and the side wall.
The brake pedal in this vehicle is too close to the accelerator, creating a limited space for your foot. On more than one occasion my foot was impinged under the edge of the brake pedal when I attempted to remove my foot from the accelerator to brake. I feel that one may not be able to access the brake quickly in a panic stop situation.
While driving and upon trying to brake putting it three and then two the vehicle picked up speed when it should be slowing down. Took vehicle to the dealer, was told that they could not do anything. Also, called the manufacturer, and was told the same thing.
Vehicle has an on going problem with the brake dragging the vehicle when applied. Condition causes the vehicle to shimmy and extended braking distance. Vehicle been to the dealer on three separate occasions and could not locate the problem. Consumer took the vehicle to a repairs shop. The mechanic replace the ABS booster and the front pads. Feel free to provide any further information.
When applying brakes pedal proceeded to the floor and pulsated without warning.
