What owners say
While braking ABS failed, causing extended stopping distance. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
The ABS antilocking light on the dash board came on. When I brought the truck to the deliver I was told that the bpmv valve had failed and that I had no ABS brakes. Then I was informed that it would cost me $1400 to replace this valve. I find this completely unreasonable for a safety system repair. Since then I have found out from other sources that the retail gm price of the valve is only $108.63. I have also heard that there have been problems with the chev s10 ABS system. Shouldn't this be repaired under a recall? If not it should as least be repaired at a reasonable cost!
Abs system is not working properly. When applying brakes brake pedal will go all the way to the floor. Dealer has been notified.
Consumer has had two accidents as a result of ABS brake failure. . Consumer states told mechanic. Mechanic said that they were ABS brakes, and it takes them longer to stop.
The antilock brakes have failed on several occasions. Cold weather enhances the problem. One accident as occured and several near misses. Contacted gm and the local dealer. They both indicated no recall had been issued on this vehicle for the ABS brake system. Dealer wanted to replace the master cylinder which is in working order. My research indicates that there has indeed been several ABS recalls for this vehicle. I need some help in resolving this problem. Thanks.
Windshield wipers quit at random intervals. Abs engages on smooth surfaces increasing stopping distance greatly.
Both wheel sensors failed at approximately 38000 miles. Indications from owners manual stated that there will still be no loss of brakes. There is a technical bulletin (c99046) relating to problems with the ABS on this vehicle-did the problem they refer to contribute to this wheel sensor failure????? Due to inadequate repair service at the closest chevrolet dealer I waited to go to brunson in hampton sc for repairs on this and also on the failure of the windshield wiper (covered under another recall). They confirmed that both wheel sensors need to be replaced. This seems to be premature failure to me.
Recall 99 v 193 000; intermittently when brakes are applied under normal conditions pedal becomes hard, resulting in extended stopping distance. Vehicle was repaired under above mentioned recall. Consumer stated that after recall was repaired problems started again. *ak consumer states recall work was done, however after dealer repaired the ABS, the ABS light and brake light would illuminate occasionally and then frequently, dealer replaced the ABS module, costing the consumer $464.28.
While driving on wet pavement ABS brakes will lock up, cause unknown. Dealer cannot correct the problem. *ak
Since the anti-lock brakes malfunction in 97, I have taken my truck to the 2 local "factory trained" service shops on numerous occasions. I've invested a large sum of money on repairs that did'nt fix the brakes,including safety campaign #99041. The service techs are dumbfounded but admit this same problem occurred on many occasions with the kelsey hayes ABS systems. I have spoken to other s10 owners who have encountered the same problem. Despite my constant persistance, the gm dealerships have provided no solution and deny knowledge of recall campaign# 99046. At a loss, I turn to you.
When brakes were applied, would be standing on brakes & vehicle failed to stop. Problem was intermittent.have not taken vehicle to dealer. Husband a certified mechanic & was not repairing the ABS brakes.
