2000 silverado 1500 with 70,500 miles july/05 my brakes stated to feel like I only had 70% of my braking capacity. It does not matter whether I stomp on the brake or brake with increasing pressure,the antilock will not engage nor will the tires lock up. I replaced all 4 rotors and pads (non oe @ 62,500 miles). The lack of braking was still present. Next I replaced the master cylinder which has not solved the problem. I just had the dealer look at the system, they noted the rear pads were worn (after 8,000 miles). The dealership also said the non oe pads were probably the cause of the lack of braking. My concern was the fact that the lack of braking started when the oe pads were still on the truck.
2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 brakes complaints
Page 14 of 15: complaints 371 to 400 of 422, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt*: the contact stated while the brakes were applied at any speed, the ABS engaged. When the vehicle reaches 5 to 10mph, the brakes made groaning noises and there was an extended stopping distance. There is a the federal safety agency recall, 05v379000, regarding the anti-lock brakes. The VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was alerted, but the vehicle has not been inspected.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving a brake failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where only the right front brake hose was replaced due to rust causing a leak which resulted in loss of brakes. Replaced brake line to right front wheel to ABS box. Total charge was $212.05.
Abs light stays on all the time when driving.
Brakes began to pulsate between 3 MPH and 5 MPH which caused the vehicle not to slow when coming to a complete stop; stop lights, stop signs, etc. Failure of the ABS caused myself to roll through a stop, into traffic, and into the ditch. A test for low speed anti-lock operation was done. Results showed problem to be faulty ABS system. ( noted to be manufacture defect per newspaper article milwaukee journal sentinel ). Problem was corrected by replacing the front wheel hub assemblies.
2000 chevrolet silverado 1500 pickup 12/30/05 I called to make an appointment for the ABS recall. 12/31 the ABS light on the dash came on. The dealer completed the recall work and stated the ABS light was an "active failure" code in the computer and was not related to the recall. Repair of this fault was estimated $1,400-1900. I have also paid to have the fuel gauge fixed. It went from empty to full at random and has been reported as a common problem but has not been recalled.
Failure of anti-lock brake system. Defective module kept feeding power to the motor of the ABS and then the motor fried. My ABS light (yellow) came on followed by the brake service light (red). A diagnostic scan revealed the ABS module and motor both were defective. I had both the module and the motor replaced. The parts totaled around $1500.
The anti-lock brakes system failed do to corrosion, do to the salt usage for snow & ice control in the state of minnesota. They would activate at low speeds, and by the time I got the dealer to get it repaired I almost hit a building and a vehicle couldn't stop in time. The parts where removed, cleaned, conditioned and put back on the vehicle. Campaign number 05v379000.
State safety inspection- parking brake failure, 158.24 repair. Parking brake pads. Mechanic told me this is a common problem with chevrolet and gm pickups of several model years(mine is a 2000) contacted chevrolet and was told nothing could be done since there was no recall. There is a recall on manual transmission models of this truck. My biggest concern is this problem would not be known by most consumers unless they have a required safety inspection.
Abs system activates at low speeds causing a much longer time to stop my truck. Almost rolled out into on coming traffic. Only happens occasionally without any rhyme or reason.
Abs brakes start to chatter when brakes applied slowly and will not stop my 2000 chevy silverado. A friend has a 2003 silverado with 35000 miles and did the same thing. Had to use emergency brake to stop. Abs warning light does not indicate a problem. Almost hit a parked car in front of me. Dealer would not make repairs under warranty for my friend. My garage came up with a 150.00 worth of parts to fix mine. I have 76.000 miles on my 2000.
Abs brake malfunction, vehicle hard to stop at low speed.
What is described with the brakes in the recall information is what happened to me yesterday 08/29/05 on interstate 69 here in indiana. I almost hit a semi truck in the rear in. I finally got my truck stopped by throwing it into park after nothing else worked. Then I went to a repair shop and they charged me $264.00 for new pads and rotors on the rear wheels.

Abs brakes on my 2000 silverado wont stop me at slow speeds, brakes rachet and truck keeps going
Anti-lock braking modulator valve and module needs to be replaced. Anti-lock brakes are not functioning.
This problem occurred last year, but I am just now reporting it looking at the recent recall of this same pickup. I own a 2000 half ton chevrolet pu 4x4. I noticed the anti-lock brakes weren't working very well at low speeds and made a noise before finally stopping the truck. It was getting noticeable at higher speeds as time went on. I took it to the car dealer where I bought the truck. Not only did the anti-lock brake sensor need replacing, but so did all four rotors. They were rusted so badly that they were flaking away. This truck had only 14,000 miles on it even though it was a 2000. It was stored inside when not driven. Gm agreed to pay for half of the repairs but not all. This was a safety issue, and I offered to take the dealer to a junk yard to show him that rotors don't rust like these were even at junk yards. I still have the rotors if your dept. Would be interested in looking at them. I believe there is more to the story than gm was willing to tell me, especially noticing the recent recall of their trucks.
1. Brake rotors rusted from the inside. No way to turn them. Had to replace. 2. Anti-lock sensors rusted. Almost caused me to crash. 3. Please don't let them steer you away from the rotor problem. It's a lot bigger than the sensor problem. 3. I talked to gm about both problems. Got no help. They let on like they didn't know of any problem with their brakes. I knew they lying. 4. Please make sure tennessee is included and also the rotor problem. Mine is a 2000 silverado. Thanks
Brakes ABS, at low speeds under 40mph the brake pedal pulsates and there is a loud ratcheting noise. The viechicle stopping distance is three times the normal stopping distance.the dealer says this is normal. Second contact and the dealer says this is normal. No accidents at this time.
The parking brake cable broke which does not provide enough support to keep the vehicle from moving while parked on a hill. Consumer notified manufacturer.
Gm vehicles, corrosion may cause anti-lock brake system (ABS) activation. *bf the consumer stated he received a recall notice in the mail. The recall stated if the repairs had already been made, send in the receipt. The consumer was told he did not qualify for reimbursement because it was a canadian recall. The right inner tie rod was loose.
When slowing down the vehicle brakes do not hold properly. Consumer had the rotors and pads replaced, and was still not satisfied with the performance.
Intermittent brake failure. Abs failure. Had truck brakes checked and repaired, three different times. Brakes worked for a few months, but the problem recurred.
Vehicle is experiencing problems with the emergency brakes. Owner will apply the emergency brake and the vehicle will continue to roll forward or backward. The emergency brake will not hold it's position when applied.
Whenever I apply my brakes normally, the anti-lock brake system engages when the vehicle speed decreases to approximately 6 MPH. This causes the brake pedel to lock and the vehicle continues forward until it rolls to a stop or it hits somthing. I have already hit several cars and rolled through many intersections. Eventuly someone is going to get hurt. I have searched many websites and found this to be a very common problem caused by dirty wheel hub sensors due to a manufactures design flaw. The dealers often mis-diagnos or scam customers into new ABS computers and other expensive solutions. The best solution is to pull the ABS fuse for the ABS control module but this makes the vehicle unable to pass state inspections. Motor vehicles with this condition are a safety hazard and often unreported. Prevention cannot be accomplished by normal owner maintainence and manufacturers should be held responsable.
While vehicle was parked on incline parking brake failed, and caused the vehicle to roll back. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Evoq filed by: state farm agent mark carr 21 tygarg valley mall fairmont west virginia, 26555 304‑216‑8569.
While driving at 25 MPH, and with no warning brake pedal got stuck to the floorboard, causing the driver to hit another vehicle. Consumer turned the vehicle off, and had the vehicle towed to the dealer.
While driving 10 MPH the ABS light illuminated on the dashboard. When the consumer attempted to apply the brakes, they did not respond.
The brake rotors needed to be resurfaced. The consumer felt the problem was caused by a design defect. This was a common problem.*ak the dealer found rusting which caused premature replacement of the brake rotors. *tt
