The ABS sensor wires are improperly routed for the front wheels, causing the wheel rims to rub through the wires during sharp turns.

Problem with left front wheel would lock up whenever brakes are applied in wet road conditions. Dealer/manufacturer have been contacted.
When it rains only the left brake works and it throws the truck to the left off the road. The g.m. Corp lied and said there was no problems, but the brake problem still exsit. G.m. Refused to give me a report of there findings, they said that it was g.m. Property, and they did not work on it they just inspected it, but affter haveing another machanic take a look at it he found where g.m. Had worked on it. It is worse now then it was. I have been lied to by the dealership and g.m. On more than one occation. The problem still exsit and is getting worse every day.
Brakes were applied when other vehicle suddenly cut in front of driver and then abruptly applied brakes.brakes failed to respond.driver swerved to avoid rear end collision.vehicle began to skid, striking a concrete pole.at no time did the brakes ever stop the vehicle.the vehicle only stopped after striking the concrete pole.
While driving on a sandy road consumer could step on the brake pedal, but brakes won't respond, forcing consumer to drive off the road to avoid an accident.
Owner reports travelling at low speed, applied the brakes and vehicle flipped onto its roof.
Gm responded they were not responsible for repairs
Anti-lock brakes are not working. When consumer applies brakes the pedal goes all the way to the floor. The pedal is soft. Vehicle will stop five feet from the destination. Vechicle has been taken to the dealership five times.
While driving at 35 MPH and approaching an intersection consumer stepped on the brakes and the vehicle did not stop.upon this problem withthe brakes was also hammering the consumer's foot.
Rotors overheat which causes warping. Also, brake pads are too hard and heavy and cause the rotors to overheat and warp. The brake shoes are absolutely perfect. Gm motor stated that the government requires the manufacturer to use these pads.
The brakes felt mushy and stopping was without good grip. The gm dealer was informed 5 times and found no fault. I bought a jack and checked the brakes myself and found the axle seal leaking badly contaminating the left rear brake. This reduced stopping power dramatically. Brakes are the first thing on a car that should work, and the manufacturer refuses to fix it.
Abs system is working intermittently, and the steering wheel is pulling to the right. Right front brakes locked when driver then on curve, spinning vehicle to the right. Brakes were applied a second time and again they locked causing vehicle to roll over three times. Dealer can't determine the cause.
While driving at 45 MPH clutch cable broke without prior warning. Also, wire harnees shorted out/ brakes are working intermittently/ there is some type of knocking noise within the vehicle, and the left coil spring had to be replaced.
The engine sometimes stalls while consumer releases the clutch, the engine hesitates and sometimes has little power. The consumer smells fuel and sulfer, the dealer can not locate any problems. The starter does not work properly. The air conditioner blows hot. The transmission is slipping, the clutch locks up in reverse and is noisy. The consumer complains that the vehicle does not stop fast enough. The fan clutch was noisy.
,mentioned about brakes before, dealer could not find anything. Took in for overheating, dealer replaced some parts, said it was ready, following week overheated again, dealer towed vehicle in, took apart, said it was ready to be picked up, but it was still in pieces, and they would not fix. Further contacting chevrolet with this problem which has been on going.
Was traveling approximately 40mph & had to slam on brakes. Rearended vehicle in front, which had stopped short. At the time brakes were applied, did not feel ABS system working. Taking vehicle to dealer to check it.
Brakes skip. Driving and engine overheats, will not go over 40 MPH, keeps dying,steering/braking problems, second time in a two week period, dealer will not make good on it, still under warranty, now it is "like a rock" or at least runs like one.
While driving on a dirt road and attempting to stop brakes failed, causing consumer to go into a ditch.
When applying brakes during an emergency stopping situation truck did not stop and floated out into the intersection, almost causing a crash. This happened while pulling out of the driveway on a dry road surface. The problem was not reported to dealership. Please provide any furthe details.
