Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 121, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brakes failed while trying to stop for a school bus. Stepped hard down on pedal on wet road. Antilock never started working,wheels never locked up.coasted for 1/4 mile before stopping.pedal pressure very high. Could not depress pedal.
When brakes are applied under normal stopping back wheels lock up, causing vehicle to come to a dead stop. Dealer has inspected vehicle.
The antilock brakes are not working properly. Problem started three years ago when appling brakes, pedal was hard, and the brakes hesitated, and there was a clunking noise.
On wet pavement the stopping distance is decreased when the pedal is applied. The pedal is very soft, but it does not go to the floor. The dealer has been contacted.
Intermittently when the brakes are applied pedal gets hard, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified.
Antilock break light stays on (dash)
When driving at any speed and applying brakes, they are going half way to the floorboard, and the ABS light is on.
I have recently taken this vehicle into two different chevy dealers and twice was told there is nothing wrong with it.while driving at speeds under 40mph or so when braking to stop or slow for a turn, the brake pedal ratchets down to the floor and the ABS light comes on.I'm afraid to drive this car because of the pedal going to the floor.while the car was at one dealer,they called to tell me there is nothing wrong with itand that I could disconnect them if I wanted,now if there is nothing wrong why would I do that.I called the chevy#1‑800‑222‑1020 and was told that my VIN# wasn't part of the recall and to take it to an independent to see if they can fix it.all I want is the car fixed so its safe ,I've tried twice at gm dealers and wasted money.help!!!
Abs computer/valve system defective. Brakes "chatter" on application, occasionally have a wheel lockup when braking. Flushed fluid system, no mechanical problem, good pads, no fluid leak, vacuum booster ok. Dealer cannot find problem, doesn't really want to change out computer/valve system. Is there a recall on this system?
Front wheels locked up and vehicle skidded across the road.
Abs system light is on and won't go off. Dealer can't determine the cause of the problem.
We have a 1992 s-10 blazer with a two wheel locking differential-rear axle. Since we purchased it, we have always felt that the brakes were too hard to apply and failed to stop quickly. On several occasions we had to stop on gravel and the vehicle slid instead of coming to a complete stop. The 1992 two wheel drive blazers need to be included in the present recall.
Vehicle was parked in garage, and garage was filled with smoke. Wires in the vehicle caught on fire due to ABS computer failure.
A/c compressor and valve stem seals failed.
Consumer depressed the brake pedal and it went to the floor, no braking action, vehicle proceeded through a gaurd rail and into a lake. Vehicle was totalled.
When brakes are applied the pedal went to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance . The ABS light is constantly on. Dealer has been notified.
When applying the ABS brakes on wet pavement the pedal travels to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Consumer is experiencing ABS brake defect. The brake system is not consistent. Some of the problem may causes the brake pedal to go to the floor before the vehicle comes to a stop or brakes appear to grab more to the left or right. Coditions always appear to be different. Dealer notified and condition still occurs. All repairs are at a cost to the consumer.
I have e-mailed a complete report on this incident to your the federal safety agency webmaster, on 6/20/98. Contact me for a repeat of my 3-page report, or for other questions you may have. I believe my experience is related to the federal safety agency's ongoing investigation into ABS failures on 1990-95 s-10 trucks and suvs. Call me at 610‑992‑9838 fax 610‑992‑9804
Abs brakes failed 10 times, once resulting in crash.
Anti lock brakes failed resulting in a vehicle collision.
When applying the brakes on wet road conditions the brakes locked up. When applying the brakes on dry road conditions the pedal goes to the floor, and more braking distance is required. The brake calipers have been replaced. The problem still exists.
On wet surfaces when the brakes are applied the front brakes lock up and hold, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has been notified.
While applying ABS brakes, can feel brakes releasing. Would have to apply more pressure to stop vehicle. Stopping distance is extended more than usual. Has not taken to dealer yet.
Abs went out while on vacation. Dealer has reset the system on two occasions after the warning light came on. Recently, just after the 50k mile warranty expired, the warning light came on again, and a dealer told the owner it would be okay to drive the vehicle while the light was on if he could not afford the repair.
Anti-lock brakes failed, the hydraulic unit corroded.
Abs brakes locked causing vehicle to fishtail and roll onto its side.
Driver slammed on brakes, brake pedal went to floor, seemed loose, caused increased stopping distance, causing a crash, rearended another vehicle, dry weather.
Brakes went out because the brake fluid had boiled.
