2000 Chevrolet Silverado brakes complaints
Page 14 of 21: complaints 371 to 400 of 607, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving at a low speed brakes failed. The emergency brake was the only thing that stopped the vehicle. Repairs were made on the hub. After repairs brakes failed again, consumer's vehicle rear ended another vehicle. *ak v
While driving and applying the brakes pedal went to the floor, causing pulsation and extended stopping distance. Vehicle was taken to the a independent shop, and mechanic determined that four rotors and pads needed to be replaced at consumer's expense. The vehicle had only 41000 miles on it. *ak
The ABS system operates at low speeds (5 to 10 MPH) on dry pavement resulting in extremely long stopping distances. I called my dealer and they are well aware of the problem. They clam that it is due to a batch of faulty sensors that gm was supplied. So why should the consumer get left holding the bag. Why is no recall being done to correct this issue. I feel that an investigation is strongly needed. This is oviously a manufacture defect (extremely widespread).
Intermittently while driving at any speed and applying the brakes the rear brakes froze and wont release the brakes. Also, consumer indicated hada problem with the front brakes too.
My ABS has been acting up, I.e. Engaging when it shouldn't. Tonight, I was forced to come to a fast stop and pushed the brake in. The ABS engaged, but then stopped and the pedal went to the floor, therefore I had no brakes. I rear-ended another car with a 17 year old girl driving. She ended up being taken to the hospital. I am curious to know if there are other cases such as this, including brake failure and ABS problems. My vehicle is a 2000 chevrolet silverado 1500. I have 106,000 miles on it and have had minute braking issues for the past year or so. I hope that is this is an issue that it can be addressed. That way no more seventeen year old girls get hurt, and no more 26 year old males (myself) have to worry about them or the safety of others due to this type of failure. As far as the question about oem, if that means aftermarket equipment, then no, all my equipment came on the vehicle when I purchased it and nothing has been altered in any way.
Consumer received recall 00 x 001 000 concerning brake hose failure. Consumer was concerned that the brake hose erupted while driving and rust build up on both front rotors.*ak vehicle was hard to stop when coming off a small incline. All four brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced due to rust.
A loud squeaking noise was heard coming from the rear. The consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer. The mechanic determined that rear brakes and rotors needed to be replaced. *ak while making a sudden stop the consumer noticed that the brakes were not responding properly. The consumer then noticed the rear brakes making a squeaking noise. The consumer moved the rear wheels, brake calipers and rotors and found a metal surface where the brake pads deteriorated. On the drivers side rotor, the pad was wearing on 3/8 inch of the metal surface. The consume knew of others with the same make/model/year with the same problem. *sc
My brakes would not work at slow speeds. The ABS would activate with no reason.
The parking brake was not working. Manufacturer did not accept responsibility. Complaints of this kind were listed on the internet.
Upon pulling into driveway consumer applied the brakes and the pedal began bucking. Consumer was not able to stop the vehicle, and it collided with parked vehicle. Abs warning light failed to warn consumer that a problem occurred. The problem was caused by rust developing on ABS sensors. The problem was more prevalent while driving between 5 to 10 MPH.
While applying the brakes, the vehicle jerked and vibrated uncontrollably. The consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic determined that the front rotors rusted, and needed to be replaced. *ak the brake problem was continuous front and back since 5958 miles. Chevrolet would not replace the brakes. The calipers were leaking, the security light had come on three times when the vehicle was in motion with the key, the reluctor ring/sensor was out of adjustment caused by rust, and the driveline made a clanking sound. Gm had been made aware of the problems. *sc
Anti-lock brakes activate right before the truck comes to a complete stop. This increases the stopping distance by several feet. It happens very often and only happens during light braking never under heavy braking.
While driving down hill, the anti lock brakes failed and the vehicle began to slide. The driver could not get the vehicle to stop and it rolled down and over a hill. The vehicle was totaled. This vehicle was involved in a brake recall for this year, make, and model. The federal safety agency recall campaign 00v345000; brake line chaffing.
While applying brakes from a low speed anti lock brake system engaged. As result, vehicle continued to roll, almost colliding into a building.
Bought in 2000 brakes and all components have been replaced by owner at owners expense. Brakes have a growling crunching sound on and off. The brakes will become disfunctual unless you compleatly release and immedieatly re apply.this has been an ongoing mechanical failure. At 11,000 miles this vehicle litterally "blew the front rotors into pieces.gm would not honor the repairs that I have continiously kept having to pay for.
Consumer took vehicle to dealer to have the brake pads replaced, and was told that the rotors were defective. Consumer stated that vehicle's mileage was low for replacement.
When the brakes were applied, the consumer felt a vibration in the pedal. The dealer examined the vehicle and claimed that the rotors needed to be turned and the pads needed to be replaced. The consumer checked the pads and rotors and found that the pads were ok and that the rotors were laminated and cracked. *la
The ABS brakes came on when they were not suppose to while driving less than 5 MPH and hit another car pulling into the driveway. Took vehicle to the brake shop for brake inspection, and mechanic determined it was due to rust behind the brake sensor.*ak the dealer called the problem environmental and offered to pay 50% of the cost. The rust was located in an area that was suppose to be sealed.
Parking brake has always been very weak even when pedal pushed to the floor. The linkage adjustment is fully tigtened.
The parking brake does not hold. The pedal goes to the floor, but it has no effect.
The electronic brake control module is failing on my 2000 chevrolet silverado which causes a failure in the ABS. I contacted chevrolet and only offered 20% cost assistance even tough this appears to be a very common defect in gm vehicles.
I own a 2000 chevrolet silverado 4x4. The ABS brakes will engage at 5-10 MPH when normal, light pressure is being applied to the brakes during a normal stop. The brake pedal will then depress fully when you are not expecting it to. This will increase the stopping distance and in some cases I have almost hit the car in front of me because you are not expecting the pedal to depress to the floor. The problem will occur 5-10 times a day and is becoming worse. I sent my vehicle to the dealer and wanted to take a test drive with a technician because no warning lights occured. When I was explaining the problem to him he knew immediately what it was. It is obviously a common problem with these vehicles and is very dangerous. I have searched recalls for the vehicle and this problem has not been recalled yet. I have only 42,000 miles on the vehicle and believe this is a serious safety issue and should be a recall.
With only 52,000 miles on vehicle, the ABS warning light comes on and stays on. I have been told by reputable service technician that the ABS control module must be replaced at a cost of $690 for materials alone. I have also been advised the ABS system is inoperable until this is corrected. I believe this is very premature for this type of problem to occur.
Consumer experienced the same defect with the ABS as stated in the recall, but was exempt. *ph the anti-lock brake system stopped working. *sc
Abs module bad, no antilock brakes, the ABS light on dash is on constantly. Dealer says part is $800 and only availaible at gm. Same with fuel pump/sending unit, $350 only availiable gm, steering column knocks, both support cables on tailgate bad although recall coming too little too late, and the throttle body sticks are closed.
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) stopped working. *la a recall (00v-055000) was issued for this make/model/year, however the consumers vehicle was not included due to VIN.
When applying the emergency brake it released on a slight incline. Consumer took vehicle to the dealership on two separate occasions, but problem still occurs.
Abs warning light on dashboard.
Parking brake sticks: I bought vehicle august 2000. Was called to active duty and deployed with military for 1 year beginning january 2003. Yes, that's less than the 3 year warranty. My wife used the vehicle occasionally and I have 31,000 miles on the truck and upon returning, the parking brake sticks. I have burnt out 2 sets or rear pads and rotors. Additionally, the slow and intermittent portion of the windshield wiper stopped working and the reverse/backup lights don't work. I contacted the dealer and gm and they both told me "too bad."
