2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VECHILE AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES THE ABS KICKS IN AND THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP. IT HAS CASUED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AND 1 SMACK INTO A GARAGE DOOR. I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS TRUCK AND IT WAS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 24,000 MILES ON IT BUT IS OUT OF WARR DUE TO AGE. DEALER WANTS $400 TO FIX, BUT IT APPEARS BASED ON MY MECHANIC AND REPORTS READ ON INTERNET THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND GM SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

ABS SENSOR MALFUCTION ON SILVERADO - VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING AT LOW SPEED AND ABS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED

PARKING BRAKE FAILED AND DOES NOT HOLD WHEN ENGAGED BEEN ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL SO I'M WAITING TO SEE IF THIS IS THE CASE CHEVY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS NOT CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM

ERRATIC STOPPING AND SQUEALING NOISE WAS NOTICED ON MAY 17, 2005. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND MY REAR BREAK ROTORS ON MY 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD (39,000 MI.) TO BE EXTREMELY DETERIORATED. THE METAL IS ACTUALLY FLAKING OFF ON THE FACE OF THE ROTORS. THE PADS STILL HAVE APPROX. 2/3 THICKNESS REMAINING. I HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED THE DEALER, BUT FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE READ, IT LOOKS LIKE MY DIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 EXTENDED CAB, CURRENTLY THE ABS BREAKS ARE GOING INTO ABS MODE WHEN I TRY TO STOP ON ANY SURFACE INCLUDING DRY AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 10MPH). THIS IS CAUSING MY BREAKING DISTANCE AT LOW SPEEDS TO INCREASE AS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I HAVE TO LET OFF THE BREAKS AND THEN MASH THEM. EXACTLY THE BEHAVIOUR THAT ABS IS SUPPOSED TO NEGATE. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE YET BUT SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE, WILL PULL THE ABS FUSE TO DISABLE THAT FUNCTION.

DT; WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON DRY PAVEMENT THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT DISCOVERED THERE WERE NO BRAKES. WHEN THE ABS KICKED IN, THE CONSUMER NEARLY RAN INTO BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ABS JUST TOOK OVER AT A LOW SPEED, IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE LAST FRIDAY. NO REPAIR HAS BEEN DONE. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. *JB

CONSUMER STATES: THE VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP PROPERLY. CHECKED ROTORS AND FOUND HAS BUILD-UP FROM CORROSION. THE BRAKE PADS ARE NOT CONTACTING THE ROTORS ON THE REAR BRAKES. GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. *TT

DT: THE INSIDE OF THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE RUSTING AND FLAKING. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS LESS 10,000 MILES AND HAD THE ROTORS HAD TO TURNED DUE TO RUST AND FLAKING. THIS WAS ON THE INSIDE OF THE ROTOR. AT ALMOST 40,000 MILES THE BACK ROTORS HAVE DISINTEGRATED. THE CONSUMER IS GOING TO GET THE ROTORS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HEAT HARDENED ENOUGH. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF BRAKES IN 40,000 MILES. *JB

DT CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES IN HIS VEHICLE WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM KICKED IN. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, BUT DID NOT COMPLETELY STOP FOR ABOUT 2-3 FEET. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT IS HAVING PROBLEM WITH HER ABS BRAKES SHE SAYS THAT WHEN YOU GO TO STOP AND USE THE BRAKES YOU CAN'T USE THEM BECAUSE THEY EASE UP AND FREEZE. WHEN SHE PUSHED ON THE PEDAL IT LOCKED UP AND MADE A NOISE AND THEY WILL NOT WORK. THE ONLY THING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE IS THE NOISE THAT SHE HEARS. THE VEHICLE IS A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. THE FAILURE HAS ALMOST CAUSED QUITE A FEW ACCIDENT'S. *NM
