Milage on the vehicle as of present time is approximately 53,500.
The ABS activated at low speeds. Every once in a while they would activate when they shouldn't on dry pavement. *ak *sc
Brake problems
1) my father and I both own 2000 chevy silverados and both trucks have had ABS malfuntions where they truck can't stop at low speeds 2) we've both had close calls stopping in traffic 3) we both have pulled the ABS fuse to disable the ABS system
Anti lock brakes kick in when attempting to try to stop my chevy silverado 1500 pickup truck. After it had happened a few times I did not think anything of it and thought maybe the brakes had been exposed to greese or something. I eventually wound up rear ending a vehicle when attempting to park behind it in a mall parking lot. It cost my insurance company 600.00 and I am sure that this will impact my insurance costs. I recently heard that the gonvernment was looking into this issue and gm had done a recall in canada for the same issue. I am frustrated with gm and currently have this truck for sale and will be contacting them to request that they fix it. If they are not willing to repair it then I will be considering taking them to court to recover the cost my insurance company and hopefully keep my insurance from increasing. Any assistance with this matter from you would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Since last summer, I have experienced a problem with the ABS on my 2000 chevy silverado. This is the same problem that is currently being investigated by the federal safety agency. While stopping, the antil-lock brakes activated on all surfaces (even on smooth, dry, pavement) below 10mph which incresases stopping distance.
Dt: contact states vehiclewas in an accident because the brakes failed. Contact started to slow down and the brakes would not go down. When pressed the brakes were hard and stayed in the upward position. The ABS light illuminated. *ak
I am responding to the current investigation of the braking problem involving the ABS sensor. I have a 2000 chevrolet silverado. Vehicle. I called the dealer on 05/30/05 for the ABS activation at low speeds when braking. The dealer recommended removing any rust from ABS sensor surface for a cost of about $240. I get a pulstation kicking back on break pedal and are unable to stop. The vehicle in unfit to drive as is as I've come very close to hitting people and the rear ends of vehicles in front of me as I try to stop at intersections. This is a deadly situation and requires immediate attention to those who own this vehicle. If any questions, please contact me.
Brake failure at low speed
Abs brakes on 2000 chevy sliverado pickup truck are functioning every time you step on the brakes.
Lost power steering and power breaks while driving vehicle
2000 chevy silverado z-71, 4wd, v-8 extended cab 31,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle used on june 24, 2004. In september, 2004 I noticed that the ABS brake system would activate as I slowed (< 10 MPH) to a stop. This issue began intermittantly but worsened as I continued to drive the vehicle. By jan, 2005, the ABS would activate every time I applied the brakes at slow speeds (< 10 MPH). No trouble lights came on. I did not have any accidents with this issue but had one very close call in a parking lot. This incident caused m to investigate and fix the problem. In late january, I had a gm dealer investigate the issue and they recommended replacing the left front hub assembly. Given the high price the dealer was going to charge for the replacement part and the labor, I elected to purchase a replacement front hub assembly from a local auto parts store (autozone). I replaced the left front hub assembly per the vehicle's service manual directions. And the problem went away. The hub I removed was heavily corroded with signs that the seal on the inboard side of the hub was corroded with a portion of the excluder lips missing. I still have the hub assembly that was removed from the vehicle and would be glad to provide it for teardown inspection. In addition, I am a degreed mechanical engineer that works for a leading axle and driveshaft manufacturer and would be glad to discuss this serious safety issue further. I believe that seal failed and this allowed debris / corrosion to enter the hub assembly which then subsequently caused a signal interuption between the tone whee and speed sensor. Thus, the ABS system believed that the left front hub was not rotating and caused the ABS system to activate. My issue is very much like the issue described in the may 27, 2005 issue of the detroit free pess titled "gm truck owners insist brakes are a problem".
My 2000 silverado pickup truck had the bad brake sensor in the front wheel. As I would roll to a stop the ABS system would activate and I would have to push on the brake pedal with both feet to stop. I never got in an accident, but had several scary moments before the truck stopped. I got the sensor replaced and it fixed the problem gm should have covered the repair, it is a bad safety issue.
Abs breaks kicking in when vehicle is almost coming to a complete stop. This has caused me to almost hit a few vehicles.
Abs pump motor faulty, consistant with campaign no. 00013. Dealer won't fix. Vin's [xxx], [xxx]. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
(hydraulic brakes) when the brakes were applied, the ABS kicked in and the vehicle continued on. No warning given about the ABS failure. The problem continued to get worse. The problem would also occur on dry road conditions with normal braking. This was an intermittent problem. *ak per invoice; the ABS brakes would activate at slow speeds. The sensors had corroded. *sc
2000 chevy silverado, anti-lock brakes (ABS) computer malfuntion. Abs comes on during normal driving and braking! Had to pull fuse to keep ABS from malfuntioning. Unable to stop at sotp signs at all with ABS connected.
The anti-lock brakes engage on my 2000 silverado at inappropriate times. This causes the vehicle to be difficult to stop and has almost resulted in several accidents. This problem began last winter and continues. I do not get any indication of a problem on the dash. I avoid using this truck because of the problem.
Stopping distance at slow speed is not alway as crisp as it should be. The ABS sometimes come on, when it shouldn't. My local mechanic has been unable to fix this. Why are the canadians treated as first class consumers and the amer- ican as second rate?
When applying the brakes, brake pedal would continue to pump back out, giving little use, or very hard stopping. Difficulty using brakes. Disconnected the ABS.
Could not get 2000 chev silverado z-71 safety inspection done due to parking brake not working. Technician said he has failed numerous chev truck for this. Local dealer said it was a mfg problem and would cost betrween $280 to $880 to fix and should have been a recall done on this model.
Dt: without warning, when the consumer slowed down to come to a stop the ABS activated and the vehicle surged ahead. The brake pedal needed to be pushed hard to get the vehicle to stop. The dealer said that sometimes it happens. The consumer has not contacted the manufacturer yet.
Turned into a convenience store and brake pedal was firm. Crashed into a bollard next to building and dented front bumper.
Anti lock brake system would engage as vehicle was coming to a stop causing the vehicle to continue rolling.
Back in the fall of 2003 I had an insodent with the ABS brakes on my 2000 chevy silverado going crazy. When I would go to stop everything was ok till the truck hit 5 miles and hour then they would activate and at times would not stop. They would also lock up and the truck would keep moving with my foot on or off the brake pedal. The only way to stop it was to ease off the petall and hit the pedal hard and at times this would knot work on the first try. I took the truck to my local goodyear service station and had them check it out. They did not see a problem with the ABS sytem but they said that I need to replace the rotors becuse they were rusted very bad . I did that and a it did not fix the proplem. So I contacted my local gm delaership and asked them if they could look and see if there was any recalls or problems with the ABS sytem that I was not informed off they said no there was not. While on vaction visting my parents in another state I went to a gm dealership and had them take a look at it and after hooking it up to the computer they said it could be the speed sensor or the ABS module. So I had them replace the speed sensor and they also did some othere repairs on the truck as well but at this time I can not tell you what they done becuse I do not have accsess to the bill. And they told me that I needed to replace the front pads in about 3 to 4 months. Everything was going fine then it started doing it again and it had been 3 to 4 months since I had the speed sensor changed so I took the truck to pep boys . At pep boys I had them check the front to replace the brake pads and they did so. This did not fix the problem. Now I would take it back to the dealership to have them look at it again and replace the ABS moduel but as of right now I have invested over $900 in this problem. I herd the ABS module cost over $650 not to mention the diagnostic fee of$89 and labor. And I herd that there was a recall and I can not find out any information on it.
Consumer complained about an ABS brake system problem. When applying the brakes they will chatter and vibrate, and will not stop the vehicle. Consumer contacted the manufacturer, who suggested that consumer take the vehicle to the dealer to have it inspected. Consumer had it inspected by an independent mechanic, but the cause of the problem had not yet been identified.*ak nearly rear ended an auto at a stop light and ran completely through 2 stop signs. Anti-lock brake failure. *bf
