1999 Chevrolet S10 brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 35 of 35, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When traveling over slight bumps in the road, the truck feels as if it has no brakes. I am not talking huge potholes or extreme dropoffs, but bumps as low as approximately. 2 to 3 inches. The problem happens most often near my home traveling at 35 MPH, using the brakes to slow to around 28 MPH when I hit the 2 to 3 inch bump. At this point the truck starts coasting and the brake pedal is stiff, approximately. 10 feet past clearing the bump the braking is restored. I don't know if this is normal for ABS.
When vehicle was taken in for state inspection brake rotors were pitted and badly rusted. Owner had two front two rotors replaced. Also owner indicated that he had a 1994 chevrolet truck, s10 that had the same failure. *ak jlg
When brakes are applied in a sudden stop, the ABS will engage, and causes severe extented stopping distance. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified at this time. *ak the consumer states that when the brakes are appliedon bumpy or slick roads, the ABS disengages the vehicles brakes. The brake pedal must be released and re-applied to re-engage the brakes. The vehicle was wrecked due to defective ABS brakes on a on smooth road, on bumpy roads at 15 MPH the vehicle takes 25 feet to stop.
While driving at state speed limit applied brakes and without warning brakes did not function. Dealer would not fix vehicle because warranty expired.
Rear disc brake rotors accumulate rust or material, causing bake pads to wear out prematuritely and break off safety wear sounding tab.
Brake pedal was pulsating when applying brakes. Had mechanic inspect brakes, and found that rotors were rusted in middle and warped.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
At 50mph on a wet road the brakes instead of pulsing as they are supposed to, the pedal got hard and I had no brake of any kind. Causing us to crash thru a fence and into some trees.
Brakes did not hold in any fashion. They did not even pulse as they were supposed to do. The pedal was hard, but there was no marks even in the dirt showing that the vehicle was trying to stop.
Left outer door scrapes fell off. Nlm
