Upon starting the vehicle and driving at low speeds the ABS starts grinding for about five minutes, after five minutes the brakes stop and an ABS fault appears disengaging the ABS system. The system restarts after the car is restarted and then the same issue will occur. Sometime when the truck needs to make a quick stop this will begin to activate the fault issue. Some times the issue is serious enough to engage a total failure of the system and the parking brake light will also come on.

Abs fault- locked up brakes- common problem with this vehicle- need a recall but knowing gm we will never see one (until someone dies) .... This is crazy the electrical problems with this vehicle and the lack of response from the federal government or gm.

The ABS and parking brake signal comes on the dash and will remain on for 2 to 3 days. The brakes also lock up and make a horrible sound. I'm not able to push the brake peddle down because it gets harder to push and it agitates. I have owned my colorado for 6 years and it happens quite frequently. This concerns me because my 16 year old daughter drives my truck often.

On multiple occasions, the ABS fault light comes on. This is just one of many problems focused around the brakes. Abs fault light is still on, my brake pedal action is soft. Brakes have been replaced. The right front outer brake pad was stuck and wore down to the metal. All the other front brake pads had good wear on them except for the front outer pad. Something is not right with the brake system on these trucks. I've checked a number of web sites and this brake problem is occurring with many trucks and many owners in many stated. I've even read the same complaints posted through the federal safety agency .for the same brake problems please do something before someone is killed.

The ABS brakes fault will occur on occasions. This has been happening for over a month. It appears out of no where. The brakes became soft and noisy. I can pull over and shut the truck off, wait a few minutes then restart and the problem self corrects. This is happening more often now. I am getting a little scared this may happen when I need the brakes.

The ABS is a constant issue on this model. If it fails while driving, which it has for me as well as a lot of others, it is hard to stop the truck. While you try to push the brake pedal the ABS is active and fights against you making it hard to stop in time. This is an issue gm is aware of and should be forced to do a recall before there is a serious injury or fatality.

The ABS light comes on and brakes go to the floor with minimum to no stopping power. When this happens the brakes wine. After this happens brakes return to normal but the ABS light comes on and stays on until the vehicle is cycled on/off. Once the computer sees that there is no issues with the ABS, the light goes off. This leaves you to believe that there was a "bug" in the electronics. Then without warning or a duration of time the problem comes back. And then this process starts all over again. Whats happens when I need the brakes to prevent a accident? After researching online this is a very common issue with this vehicle.
