Filed Mar 18, 2021 · Body, Electrical · 187,933 miles · IL

Truck has ABS lights on when driving at lower speeds as soon as the fluids are not cold the check gushes light comes on and the oil pressure gauge needle drops until the throttle is again depressed... Also ABS in rear shakes whole truck when going below 50mph and then continues up to 80mph before subsiding. The truck has serious steering issues constant leaks caused I'm sure my rack and pinion are worn down as well as now my tires and supension I have so many problems like the interior is crumbling to pieces the body has giant holes from improper painting options on this model I have over sized tire wells that are rusted completely out it make your company look silly for not making these vehicles better when they last people keep buying them again and again! Seems like you probably use parts for many years on many models funny how every year including the year it was manufacturered there were recalls except for mine is that just because it's older

The emergency brake is missing the teeth for holding the brake in place. Also the ABS light is always on and they say it is the master that needs replacement at over $1,200. This is only a danger if using the cursor control on wet pavement which I never use due to the ABS not working.

Our ABS light keeps coming on and when it does the ABS don't work. It comes on whenever it wants. It is the same issues as the 2000 are having and they have a recall. It recently caused the back wheel not to move at all. We were told the spring inside the module is going out. It also affects the air bag from going on. Also, the ignition won't work the truck won't start. It takes several tries to get it to start. We were just told that it's the starter. The seatbelt locks intermittently and won't let me move.

My 2001 s10 chevrolet pick up ABS light has been on for ever and the brake shops and the tire store mechanics tell me there are a lot of chevrolet trucks with this problem. The repair estimates I have received range from $1000.00 to $1500.00. After internet research I have found this is a big problem and it has to do with two solder points in the ABS control circuit board at the ABS head. Some folks take this unit apart and solder these two points and they work/repaired the problem, sometimes not. .is general motors fixing these problems??

Abs brake system continuously becomes inoperable and the light comes on with the red brake light. The dealer says it trash in the system and doesn't think it needs to be replaced. Now the lights stay on all the time and inspection is due. Due to this manufacturer defect, the part cost $900.00 and then labor, job will be $1300.00. I have a 2000 ford windstar van with the same problem. Is there something that can make the manufacturer pay for the repair? This is a closed system that has never been touched or serviced.

During rountine operation, after applying the brakes. The emer and ABS warning lights illuminated indicating a failure of the ABS brake system. After checking with my local dealership, I eas informed this is a common failure of the ABS control module and to repair the system it would cost appx 1,200.00. The very next day the lights went off and remained off for several weeks. Brakes operate normal, its impossible for the consumer to determine the exact extent of the failure and to what system. Also consider this to be a systemic problem with gm s series vehicles according to the local gm dealership.
