Antilock brakes are activated every time I use my brakes. My truck needs longer stopping distances to come to a complete stop. I almost got into a major accident. There is a recall on 1999-2002 chevy silverado anti-lock brakes in my state of michigan but I have not received a notice and gm says I will not get one. I own a 2002 silverado.
Anti lock brakes activate at low speeds on dry roads and increase stopping distances. This issue is addressed by recall 05068a and 05v379000. My VIN is listed however the chevrolet dealer that I went to advised that it is not covered under the recall. I am concerned that an accident will result from this defect.
2002 chevy hd ext cab. I took my pickup to a gm dealer because I knew there was a recall for this issue. They told me that my pickup was not included in the recall. The brakes shift into ABS when coming to a stop all the time. It is clear that their is an issue with the ABS braking systems in pickups in the northern regions due to salt, stated in the recall for newer models. I called gm customer service and they told me that the 2002 pickups are not yet included in the recall. This is a safety issue that should be resolved by chevrolet. Please help!!
Gm wants me to pay for a recall repair on my vehicle.
I have a 2002 chevrolet 2500 4x4. I noticed the rear brakes were getting very hot. I pulled the rear wheels and noticed the rotors had rust pits in them which I believe caused the brake pads to wear prematurely. The front pads and rotors are fine. I had the rear rotors machined and replaced the brake pads.
I own a 2002 chev k2500hd. I have had several problems, but was unaware of this site to report these problems until now. First, the dryer switch on the AC went bad @ 34k. Second,@ 65k I had to replace the front left wheel hub assembly as talked about in one of the other complaints I read. Third, @ 95k my transfer case developed a leak and I lost all the fluid. A chevrolet mechanic showed me a transfer case that had gone bad due to the same problem and had been used in 4wd w/out fluid in it. Another chevrolet mechanic told me he had seen several of these and that "jb weld is your friend". So I patched the hole, and 10k later it developed a second leak in a similar location and also about this same time an electrical part (about $550) went out for my 4wd. Now at 130k it has developed a third leak! Also starting @ approximately 50k, my rear differential has locked up on me several times and I have had to replace 4 cables on my tailgate. After being a chevy man all my life I think I will look at toyota.
Dt: the brake rotors pitted, corroded, rusted, and flaked. The brakes have been serviced, and the mechanic said that other rotors have been corroding as well. The rotors don't show signs of a problem until the metal has worn down. The consumer contacted general motor and said the were very rude.
The emergency brake on my truck has gone out. I have only 36000 miles on the vehicle. I understand there is a corrective fix for this problem. Dealers will install a low-force spring clip retainer for vehicles equipped with a pbr parking brake system. The dealer would only replace the retainer clip but states I would have to pay for the emergency brake shoes. I feel gm should pay for the brake shoes since the retaining clip 'caused the problem.
The driver of the 2002 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd I am filling this report about had to slow the vehicle down quickly from 65 MPH. Apon applying the anti-lock brakes the front wheels locked. (skidding) causing loss of directional control of the vehicle. Despite the driver's efforts, since not having directional control of the vehicle, she was unable to keep it from striking another vehicle and a utility pole. This crash resulted in a total lose of the 2002 chevrolet as well as additional property damage, totaling approximately $40,000. Personal injury loss in excess of well over $5,000. There was also a failure of the SRS, the driver's airbag did not deploy.
Brakes failed to stop the truck (brake pedal goes all the way to the floor in an emergency situation) I took the truck back to the dealer and they found the hydro boost to the brakes to be leaking fliud. They replaced the part, it helped the brakes some but did not take care of the problem. The problem is when you are on a pothole or washboard road and use the brakes the pedal will go all the way to the floor and will not stop the truck at all. When you stop on a smooth road the brakes seem to work fine. Tthe only other thing that is a real concern to me is when you are just sitting in the truck wether it is running or not you can push on the brake pedal with little effort and it will go all the way to the floor. I have taken the truck to two different dealers to try and get my problem solved. The mechanics agree that it shouldn't do what its doing but can't find the problem. There are times when it is dargerous to drive the truck .
The power steering pump shaft has failed. As a result the vehicle's brakes failed and steering became impossible. Please provide additional information.
While driving at 45-50 MPH and upon coming to a three way stop sign brakes failed, and consumer collided head on into an embankment. The impact caused seat belts to become undone, and air bags did not deploy. Consumer sustained a broken sternum and facial fractures. Manufacturer and the dealer have been informed of the problem.
When the brakes were applied, the pedal traveled to the floor, and the vehicle failed to stop. *jb
