2000 Chevrolet S10 brakes complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 104, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Went to slowdown to turn into a business and the brakes failed due to a center brake line blown that feeds the rear brakes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet s10. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH, the brakes seized. In addition, the vehicle became resistant to acceleration attempts as the ABS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
I have problem with my (ABS) and my tailgate.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet s10. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH and attempting a u-turn, the brakes began to loose pressure abnormally. In order to gain control of the vehicle, he continued to pump the brakes until they returned to normal operation. The manufacturer was contacted and they advised him that there were no current recalls on the particular component. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer and they advised him that the electronic ABS would need replacing to correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
Approaching an on-ramp, attempted to stop, loss of brake functionality. Resulted in a crash. One person was ambulanced to hospital. The mechanic later found that the brake line was ruptured. I received a ticket. I kept the brake line.
My 2000 chevrolet started to activate the ABS when stopping, but only within the last 5 MPH before stopping, I did some research and found that this was a known issue and there is currently a tsb, 020525006, open for the issue. Is followed the tsb as I am mechanically inclined, test drove the truck and nearly ran into the wall on the back side of my garage. I pulled the fuse to the ABS module and the truck stops without any issue. I also found a recall for all of the chevrolet full size trucks, model year 1999-2002. The description of the issue is the exact same as the issue I am dealing with. I also found out that the brake configuration is the same as the full size trucks. There are s10's with a different configuration, but mine is the same as the full size trucks. I am currently driving with the ABS disconnected. To get the vehicle inspected, I am going to put it back in so that I can get the truck inspected as I do not have the time to get it fixed. The fix for this I believe is to have the hub replaced as that is where the corrosion exists.
Parking brake no longer latches.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet s10. The contact stated that both rear wheels on the four wheel ABS independently lock and stick. Speed was not a factor. The brake pedal extends to the floor when depressed and does not release. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, but they could not determine the cause of the failure. The dealer stated that the calipers and brake fluid level were fine. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number 00v055000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock). The current mileage was 81,578 and failure mileage was 81,078.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds on wet roads with brake pressure applied, there was a longer braking distance. The dealer was contacted. Updated 2/12/2007 - the failure always occurred on snow covered roads. The consumer also indicated that the brake pedal vibrated and that there was a loud groaning noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to duplicate the problem.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 5 MPH and applying the brakes, the pedal became locked by the ABS system. This caused the pedal to pulsate as if it was sliding on ice, but the roads were dry. The defect also created an increased stopping distance. The vehicle ended up crashing into guardrails which caused damage to the front side of the truck. A police report was taken. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that there was a defect in the ABS system causing the pedal to lock. There was a recall #05v379000 regarding the service brakes:hydraulic:antilock, however the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
Within the last couple of weeks whenever I am coming to a stop at slow speeds, less than 10 MPH, my anti lock brakes do not allow the vehicle to stop. I have gone into a number of intersection and pass stop signs. This happens in reverse or drive. I have removed the ABS fuse and have not had any problems. Now my ABS light stays on but the vehicle stops. The dealer said that the front hub bearing assy's are loose but the longtime repair shop I always go to can find nothing wrong with the bearing assy's. I think there is rust and corrosion on the brake sensor mounting surface and have a copy of a tsb to give to my garage to hopefully try and correct this potentially dangerous problem.
Dt*: the contact stated the ABS warning light illuminated and there was an increased stopping distance while applying brake pressure at various speeds. There is a the federal safety agency recall, # 00v055000, regarding the antilock brakes. The vehicle was not inspected by the dealer. The VIN was not included in the recall. Additionally, the tailgate support cables corroded and fractured without warning. The contact replaced the tailgate cables. There is the federal safety agency recall # 06v066000, regarding the tailgate hinge and attachments. The VIN was not included in the recall.
When brakes applied at low speed they did not work. The pedal went to the floor with no stopping . The system was inspected by medved chevrolet and nothing was found wrong. This has happen once . The incident is very similar to the silverado recall 05v379000. I also own a silverado.
Dt*: the contact stated after purchasing a used vehicle that already had the ABS light illuminated, the ABS engaged at speeds of 10mph or less. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer. The entire ABS control module was replaced. Afterwards the problem continued, but no further repairs were made.
Dt: contact stated the brakes on vehicle were defective. The rear caliper seal was ripped by rust, and the front brake pads were frozen in the caliper. The fluid ran out of the back brakes. The contact first noticed this in the spring, and he had to put on new brake pads. The contact wanted to report this because he did not want anyone to get hurt. *ak
Dt: while driving at a low speed, about 5 MPH, owner went to a fast food line and pushed the brakes and the pedal was stiff. There was a pulsation in the brakes, and extended stopping was required. Owner had to pull out of line to keep vehicle from hitting the car in front. The owner then pushed the brakes, and they worked just fine. The problem only occurred when the owner was going at slow speeds. The problem happened in all weather and road conditions. The owner was aware that there was a known problem with the ABS sensor, and was wondering when the recall will take place. *ak
(1) driving on a dry, sunny, summer day. I was braking for a stop sign. (2) ABS kicked in unexpectedly when vehicle slowed to somewhere below 10 MPH. This had happened before, but this time it nearly prevented the vehicle from coming to a stop. Almost caused me to enter a busy intersection with cross traffic approaching. (3) ABS was disabled by removing the appropriate fuse. No further action taken. However I recently noticed the similarity between this incident and the symptoms described in the federal safety agency campaign id number : 05v379000 for full-size chevy trucks.
I am having the same problems with my antilock brakes as other gm trucks are having with the exception that I have an s-10 instead of a fullsize truck as mentioned in the newspaper article from may 27 in the detroit news. I would like to know if there is going to be anyone looking into the s-10 of having the same problem. I have had three near misses of an accident at slow speeds and every time its the same problem. I really think gm needs to address this problem before somebody gets seriously hurt. Thank you in advance for your help.
Chevy s-10 p/u 2000. Brakes chatter and fail. It has been present since buying vehicle.
Driving 45 MPH, car suddenly stopped in front of my daughter (driver), applied brake which went to the floor and did not stop vehicle resulting in collision with vehicle and extensive damage to our s10 front; air bags did not deploy.
My 2000 s-10 pickup anti-lock brakes have ben actuating at low sppeds since I purchased the truck new. Whne slowing to a stop, the system pulses the pedal if I hit a bump. The brakes also pulse when turing sharply into a parking space. Braking disatance is always extended when this happens. I have had several close calls. The dealer said that was the way it was supposed to operate.
Brake line failed at an intersection, total loss of brake pressure. Chevrolet notified, dealer could not find problem, part took a week to arrive, and we just fixed it at home out of exaspiration for the dealer, chevy was great though, line found worn right through. Many failures with this vehicle. Went through 3 batteries and 2 alternators. Upper ball joint failed on the highway, parts department tried to say because it wasnt greased, but I keep it greased, the ball broke right out the side, all ball joints replaced. Idler arm found broken when vehicle taken for re-alignment before that. Various electrical failures (suspected short somewhere as battery sparks when reconnected). Fuel pump failure at 65,000 miles, preceeding fuel guage malfunction about 6 mo's before, replaced fuel pump. Heating failure suspected due to dex-cool coolant (coolant solidifies and jams heater core, ect...), vehicle reverse flushed, and new thermostat installed, not much improvement, blows harder but still cold. Transmission slips on occasion. Currently leaks steering fluid, this has not been corrected as I bought a new truck, and have not had time to fix the s10. Water coming in from somewhere, carpet consistently soaked. Very unhappy with vehicle with so many repairs, truck only has 70,000 miles, components failed far before their time, more minor things wrong but repaired. We are lucky to have a garage and a whole lot of tools for this vehicle.
While appying brakes at 40 MPH brake pedal went to the floor, and the vehicle continued to move, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer was not notified.
While driving at any speed and when the brakes were depressed there was extended stopping distance. A certified mechanic found that the brakes were wearing out too frequently for this type of vehicle. *ak the consumer stated that the brakes are to weak to stop the large vehicle. At 61,000 miles the consumer drove the vehicle 2wd when the 4wd activation failed causing 900.00 in damage.
Abs motor continues to run after engine has been shut off.
While driving 35 MPH consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic was not able to duplicate the problem.*ak
When the brakes are applied, there is a delay before the vehicle will stop. The ABS only locked up on the front driver side. Dealer notified. Please provide further information.
Consumer complained about a brake problem. While driving 35 MPH the consumer applied the brakes at approximately 50 feet from the stop sign but vehicle kept rolling. *ak the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the service writer indicated that this was normal for ABS brakes. The consumer disagrees with the service writer.
Passlock failed on several occassions. Dealer repaired each time at no charge(warrenty) brakes failed before 15000miles, had to replace both front rotors. Dealer refuses to acknowledge any fault or reimbursement. We beleive that since the millage is so low, the dealer should reimburse us for the repairs.
