My brakes failed after accelerating from being stopped at a red light. The light turned yellow before we were into the intersection when the vehicle in front of me stopped, speed was less than 10 MPH. I attempted to stop on a bumpy dry surface while braking the pedal went to the floor and hit the vehicle in front of me. Dealership claims brakes were within specifications set by manufacture. Something needs to be done about this problem, there are too many complaints dealing with the ABS system on the silverado. Please do something to correct this problem.
Had to have brakes replaced on 2000 chevy silverado. Rotors were rusted out. Have never had rotors rust out on a vehicle. Vehicle had only approx. 35,000 miles on it. Cost me four times as much as I expected for the brake job.
While pulling into driveway ABS system engaged and brakes failed. Dealer notified.
While traveling 5 MPH and applying brakes ve ABS system kicked in without any indication ,causing vehicle to flip over.
Parking brake (emergency brake) on my 2000 chevrolet silverado will not hold the vehicle. Have discovered through internet web sites that it is not just my vehicle, but thousands have the exact problem. Discussed with the local chevrolet dealer and was told that gm is aware of the poor/faulty design but will not address the problem unless, of course, I want to pay to have it fixed. Do not feel I should have to pay for their mistake. This is a severe safety problem by it not being able to hold the vehicle. Feel the federal safety agency should force gm to inspect and fix any that have a problem before they end up getting sued because someone's child got run over by a rolling vehicle. Should not have to wait for deaths or injuries to occur before something is done about it!
While driving the consumer applied the brakes and they failed completely without warning. The dealer diagnosed that all rotors were chipped off and completely rusted through.
The anti-lock brakes activated at very low speeds. The pedal moved upward and driver pushed the brake pedal with force but the brakes did not respond. *nlm the left front brakes failed 100% of the time and the right front assembly failed intermittently. Both front wheel bearing assembly/sensors were replaced. The brake pedal had become hard as a rock and would not stop until both feet were pushed with maximum force.
When the brakes were applied, the vehicle vibrated. It was discovered the rotors were worn.
Since purchasing the 2000 silverado z71 ls k1500 truck I had the parking brake serviced two separate times. The first time at 29,987 miles, the parking brake did not work. It required "adjustment" and I was charged $112.50. I was surprised the parking brake required adjustment since it is not used to stop the vehicle, but rather used to keep in place when parked and it was rarely used since we live on flat terrain. I was further surprised to see that this was not covered under warranty but I let this go since I was told it was a wearable part. I did not see the actual parking brake pads but was concerned that I was not able to adjust them and hey required adjustment after such short of mileage. Again at 66,023 miles, the parking brake ceased working for the second time. This is just 36,036 miles after they were adjusted. After looking at the original parking brake pads, the front top of the pad was worn almost completely away while the back pad was worn very little. This cost me an additional $228.84 to have the pads replaced as they could no longer be adjusted. I did notice the new pads were of a different design with a larger clip that holds them in place, applying more pressure over a larger area. According to the technician, this new bracket helps hold the pad in place so that wear, while the vehicle is in motion, does not occur. This would suggest the original pad and retaining clasp was poorly designed causing abnormal wear on the parking brakes. Every chance I get, I speak with people that are driving 2000 series trucks and almost all that I have spoken with, their parking brakes are non-functional. Of those that were working, they had them replaced. I keep meticulous records for the service on my vehicle and it is not driven hard or abused in any manner. I would be happy to make any/all of this information available to you for review.
Vehicle failed state inspection due to an inoperable parking brake. Inspector claims over 50% of new body style silverado's/tahoe's/suburban's he inspects fail due to the same problem.
Consumer complained of defective engine making constant noise. Vehicle also vibrated while driving. In addition, dealer replaced water pump and engine belts.

The emergency brake failed to hold in the upright position.
The parking brake did not hold because the parking brake pad on the drivers side had nothing to hold it in place. It dropped down and drug against the drum until it wore the bottom of the shoe out. *jb
The ABS brakes failed. The ABS braking system caused a resistance behind the brake pedal. Refer to evoq#8021722 scc
The brake pedal was stuck.
Anti-lock brake light comes on frequently and as a result the anti-lock brakes don't work. After two trips to the dealer, was told two different components could be at fault, each cost between $650-750 to repair and that they weren't sure which component was at fault.
Antilock system activated without cause and disabled the braking system. This happened on dry pavement at speeds below 30 MPH when coming to a normal stop. This happened today and almost everytime I dare to drive the truck.
There were pulsating coming from the brake pedal causing him to go into a brick wall. Please furnish additional information. Dealer is aware of the problem. Ph
