ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
I have a 1997 chevy 3500 4x4 pickup truck. Ever since I bought it I have had problems with the antilock brakes. They seem to come on at slow speeds unexpectedly. I had them replaced 1 time at a cost of $700, however within 3 months the problem recuerred. I cannot afford to keep repairing them as upon talking to other owners of the same type of vehicles by gm this is a common problem the solution to which is to remove the ABS fuse rendering the system inoperative. I understand there is an investigation about this problem for years 1999-2001. What I want you to know is that is also common to vehicles made before 1999. There may not be may complaints because most people pull the fuse and disable the ABS system.
In an emergency or panic stop ABS brake system malfunctioned. Once consumer applied the brakes there was 3 or 4 seconds of no braking power. *ak as a result, consumer rear ended another vehicle. Manufacturer said that it was a normal behavior of the vehicle and was performing by design.
When applying ABS brakes on wet pavement front wheels grabbed and let go, and rear wheels continued to roll, causing extended stopping distance. Dealer could not dupilcate the problem.
Whenever ABS brakes are applied, would become sporadic & not function properly. When weather is rainy & coming to a stop, ABS brakes would lock up. Vehicle would slide some distance. Took to dealer & mechanic could not find cause of problem.
When applying the ABS brakes the pedal travels to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
