Abs brake failure with awd disable. Abs light came on with awd disable message, both are connected. With ABS failure, awd is disables. Failure required replacement of part. No consequences because it was summer and no snow, winter would have been different story. Only part that failed was replaced but there is a service bulletin and re-engineered part due to obvious problems. Bulletin is #03-05-25-004a. Concern is that ABS and awd fail at same time, I feel this is a serious safety hazard in winter driving, the type you buy a awd for. I have contacted gm and the refuse to replace other part.
2002 Chevrolet Venture brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We own a 2002 chevy venture. The hub sensors have failed and had to be replaced three times since we have purchased the vehicle. The nhsta just issued a recall-05v379000- for gm SUV's and trucks with the same problem. Are you going to include the chevy venture. When the ABS sensors fail our rotors have to be replaced and our brakes fail withen a short time of the failure of the sensor. I have tried to negotiate with gm and the dealer to take the vehicle back but to no avail.
I own a 2002 chevy venture and had the problem of ABS dis-engaging and the ABS warning light come on intermittently at first when the car is in motion (mostly at low speeds) and then permanently. The first two times I took it to the dealership, I was told that there were problems with brakes and tires. I got them replaced and even then the problem persisted. Finally, I was told that the front left hub assembly needed to be changed and it was done at no cost to me (the car is under manufacturer's warranty). During the time the hub assembly was changed, I got an uncomfortable feeling that I was not being given the reason for the ABS problem in a straight forward way. I now see that certain chevrolet vehicles (venture is not one of them) have been recalled for a front end hub assembly problem. The symptom for the recall seems a little different but I would like the federal safety agency to investigate and make sure that chevy venture does not have the same hub assembly corrosion problem. The incident date I mention below is the latest incident date, but I have had the problem at least for the past six months.
While driving approximately 15 MPH brakes failed. While applying the brake pedal went to floor. Was able to avoid accident by pulling into a parking lot. When turning the car off then back on, brake failure light comes on. *nm
Electrical system, air conditioning unit, lock on back hatch, the power slider, and the front and passenger windows have a hard time rolling up or down when it is cold outside, even though car was parked inside garage all night. The air conditioning unit stopped blowing cold air just about 6 months after we got it. The lock on the back end was stuck in the locked positioned and would not disengage. And the electrical system is all messed up in the back end. Taillights want to work when there not supposed to and the same with the reverse lights. Lights brighter then others on one side then the other, then a few minutes later it will be the other why around. Alot has to do with when I push on the brake pedal if the turn signals are going to work or not. And the power slider was already recalled on the van. The rear brakes on the van are sticking. Example: when you stop for a second and then release the brakes it will make a loud noise like it was stuck and then had to force itself to release. Not sure where to start on this process to get everything fixed.
Crancking extensvly, brakes front and rear, uneven wear and tear, hydroplaning noise, vibrations, steering and unalignments problems, emmision repaired and treated, as the created sulphur odors, and stalling. Uneven driving, ABS light coming on at speed exceeding 60 MPH.
The design of the ABS on the 2002 chevy venture (awd) is that the ABS is tied to the awd for traction control. The front left and right ABS sensors have cracked 4 times in the past 2 years on our vehicle, with the 5th time occurring this month. When the ABS sensors (hub assembly) malfunctions, it disengages the awd. While the ABS and awd should be tied together for traction control, they should not disengage each other. In addition, there is no warning when the ABS malfunctions, and once it malfunctions, it does not stay malfuntioned. This means that the next time you start the vehicle, the ABS warning light is no longer on. If you are braking at the time of the malfunction, it is very difficult to stop, which could result in an accident. We bought the venture specifically for the awd feature, and it is unfortunate that due to poor design or lack of quality control on the part, we do not have the reliability of the awd, not to mention the possible accident(s) that could occur.
For the last two years, I had to replace the rear wheel cylinders and brakes. Replacing the brakes was necessary due to the fact that the leaking wheel cylinders lubricant got onto the brake shoes.
Brake rotors rusted. As a result, the brakes wore out prematurely.
The owner had the automatic sliding door repaired at the dealership on four occasions. The door opened unintentionally, however the dealership stated there was nothing wrong with the door. After the owner pulled out of the dealer, the problem occurred again. No one was willing to assist the consumer with the problem. Also the all wheel drive system has gone bad and the sensors have gone out twice. Also, the ABS light stays on as well. Provide further details.
Consumer complained about an ABS brake system problem. Abs brakes were repaired at least 6 times. Consumer stated all wheel drive became disabled when the ABS brakes malfunctioned.*ak
Under snowy weather conditions ABS light illuminated, then the wheels suddenly locked up. This caused the driver to slid, nearly resulting in a crash. Driver felt this vehicle was very unsafe , and small children were aboard.
My 2002 venture has lost the ABS & awd systems several times, (which is no fun while driving on ice and snow). The dealer has fixed wiring, replaced sensors, and is know waiting for complete wheel asmblies for my van and at least 3 others. The dealer has furnished each of us with loaner vehicles while they await parts. I have been told that the 2003 venture has an upgraded system. The dealer has been very helpful, but I thought I should bring this to your attention, being that there was no mention of this problem on the "web". I wasn't aware of others having problems until this last incident and the service manager mentioned that I wasn't the only one having problems. Please contact me if you need further information, also let me know if this has been a larger nationwide problem.
When the brakes were applied there was a delay before the vehicle would stop and the pedal would go down to the floor. The dealer attempted to fix this problem but it recurred. *nlm failure of brakes and awd system has occured three times. There was a delay in stopping when brakes were applied. The brake pedal would go to the floor board when depressed.
While driving our 2002 chevrolet venture, the ABS light comes on and "all-wheel drive disabled" appears in the display. This has occurred on three separate occasions, each time while driving, each time after having been repaired by the dealer. In for service on 9/5/02, 11/19/02, 12/2/02 and today, 9/29/03 for a total of 47 days and counting. This last incident occurred after the part was "redesigned" to eliminate the known defect. There was a failure of the ABS and all wheel drive system due to a faulty wheel speed sensor. The consumer requested a refund under the new york lemon law. The fuel evaporator leaked. *scc
