| Tl-the contact owns a 2000 chevrloet s-10 snls. the contact stated that when driving at low speeds and making a u-turn the brakes would loose pressure. in order to gain control he would have to pump the brakes until it goes back to normal. the manufacturer was contacted and they advised him that there were no current recalls on that particular component. the vehicle was inspected by a dealer and they advised him that the electronic abs needs to be replaced. the vehicle has not been repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 80,000. tb | |||

| My 2000 chevrolet started to activate the abs when stopping, but only within the last 5 mph before stopping, i did some research and found that this was a known issue and there is currently a tsb, 020525006, open for the issue. is followed the tsb as i am mechanically inclined, test drove the truck and nearly ran into the wall on the back side of my garage. i pulled the fuse to the abs module and the truck stops without any issue. i also found a recall for all of the chevrolet full size trucks, model year 1999-2002. the description of the issue is the exact same as the issue i am dealing with. i also found out that the brake configuration is the same as the full size trucks. there are s10's with a different configuration, but mine is the same as the full size trucks. i am currently driving with the abs disconnected. to get the vehicle inspected, i am going to put it back in so that i can get the truck inspected as i do not have the time to get it fixed. the fix for this i believe is to have the hub replaced as that is where the corrosion exists. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet s10. the contact stated that both rear wheels on the four wheel abs independently lock and stick. speed was not a factor. the brake pedal extends to the floor when depressed and does not release. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, but they could not determine the cause of the failure. the dealer stated that the calipers and brake fluid level were fine. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 00v055000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock). the current mileage was 81,578 and failure mileage was 81,078. | |||

| Within the last couple of weeks whenever i am coming to a stop at slow speeds, less than 10 mph, my anti lock brakes do not allow the vehicle to stop. i have gone into a number of intersection and pass stop signs. this happens in reverse or drive. i have removed the abs fuse and have not had any problems. now my abs light stays on but the vehicle stops. the dealer said that the front hub bearing assy's are loose but the longtime repair shop i always go to can find nothing wrong with the bearing assy's. i think there is rust and corrosion on the brake sensor mounting surface and have a copy of a tsb to give to my garage to hopefully try and correct this potentially dangerous problem. *nm | |||

| (1) driving on a dry, sunny, summer day. i was braking for a stop sign. (2) abs kicked in unexpectedly when vehicle slowed to somewhere below 10 mph. this had happened before, but this time it nearly prevented the vehicle from coming to a stop. almost caused me to enter a busy intersection with cross traffic approaching. (3) abs was disabled by removing the appropriate fuse. no further action taken. however i recently noticed the similarity between this incident and the symptoms described in nhtsa campaign id number : 05v379000 for full-size chevy trucks. *nm | |||

| I am having the same problems with my antilock brakes as other gm trucks are having with the exception that i have an s-10 instead of a fullsize truck as mentioned in the newspaper article from may 27 in the detroit news. i would like to know if there is going to be anyone looking into the s-10 of having the same problem. i have had three near misses of an accident at slow speeds and every time its the same problem. i really think gm needs to address this problem before somebody gets seriously hurt. thank you in advance for your help. | |||

| I was parking my truck in my apt parking structure after work on 9/14/02, upon finding a parking space i made a 3 point turn to get into the parking space. i reversed then stopped and placed the truck in drive as i was about to pull forward into the parking space. at that point i barely touch the gas expecting to coast into the space and then suddely the motor just started revving up. i didn't think twice and just jumped on the brake with both feet but the truck wouldn't stop. we ended up jumping the cement parking stopper on the ground, which lifted the front end into the air about 2-3 feet, and sent us smashing into the block wall directly infront of us. i now have $2,200 worth of front end damage, and am really worried about driving that truck again.*ak | |||

| When applying brakes to stop and hit sharp bump in the road brake pedal goes to the floor and braking is sharply decreased to the point where i end up rolling into the intersection. this has happened at least ten times now and only through luck and my driving skill have i not been involved in an accident. brought back to dealer three times, only last time was service manager able to duplicate problem but each time dealer has informed me this is normal abs operation. this is a very serious problem to which i have slowed my driving down considerably and will not let anyone else drive the vehicle. still it scares me to death everytime it happens.*ak | |||

| Both rear hydraulic brake lines ruptured at the flare fitting entering each caliper within 2 weeks of each other. the dealer was unable to replace the first one, right rear, because chevrolet informed them that the part did not exist! the dealer was forced to reflare the old line. within 1 week, it broke again in the same spot. i replaced the line with an aftermarket one myself. less than a week later, the other rear brake line (left rear) ruptured at the flare in the same spot as the right rear, entering the caliper. i replaced it myself and took the oem broken line to viva motors to inform them to inform chevrolet that there was a potential serious defect in chevrolet s-10 rear brake lines. the service manager advised me to call chevrolet myself since they (chevrolet) wouldn't listen to him. since chevrolet's southwest area zone representative had previously told me to go pound sand i figured why bother with him. i feel the odds of two oem brake lines failing within 2 weeks of each other are astronomical and since chevrolet chose to ignore the incidents, i'd better contact you to investigate further. hopefully, mine was an isolated case but i doubt it because as i said, the odds are astronomical and the sw area zone rep chose to say the part didn't exist rather than admit he had a serious life threatening problem. in reality, how can he say the truck never had brake lines? i smell a rat and would like your organization to check into it. if further investigation saves 1 life, this is well worth our efforts. fortunately, i was able to stop safely both times my hydraulic system suffered massive failures but i will say, i think the failures took a few years off my life and absolutely caused some soiled pants. i'm not a chronic complainer by any stretch of the imagination but i'm not stupid either and chevrolet has problem with at least one of its trucks and is choosing to hide its head in the sand it wants me to go pound. thanks for your efforts, john mullen. *ak | |||

| Failure is not permanent. abs causes brakes to shut off for about 1 second on one or more wheels, causing vehicle to either suddenly swerve to one side, possibly entering oncoming traffic, or extends stopping distance so vehicle rolls into intersection. initiated by sharp bumps , particularly potholes. not consistent, hard to reproduce if attempting to. several other owners have confirmed to me that they also have seen this. no accident yet, three near accidents, including swerve in to opposite traffic lane (no oncoming traffic just then). unpredictable and tricky problem, hits when you are not expecting it. | |||

| When brakes were applied the car would shake; car taken to dealership to have the brakes checked; 2 rear rotors were warped and replaced; left the dealership and the same problem still existed. did not have time to take back as i was leaving on vacation. in traveling on the freeways and in the mountains the hotter the brakes got , the more the car would shake when the brakes were applied, and today the car continues to have this same problem. when i arrived at my destination, i contacted a cheverolet dealership nearby and spoke to the service person and they really didn't want to touch the brakes and suggested that it would be better to take the car to service where i bought it. today i'm taking the car to the dealership for the brakes to be checked again as the warranty is about to expire. i hope they take it for a good test drive!! i'm not sure is this problem is they hydraulic brake system. it could be the anti-lock brake system for all i know. but i've been driving 4-wheel drive blazer for about 20 years and this problem really stumps me.*ak | |||
