After having my front brakes replaced, the abs sensor on my brakes intermittently fails when driving this truck. When the sensor fails, my anti-lock brakes engage impairing my ability to stop. This is a widely reported problem with chevy colorado/canyon trucks and gm needs to acknowledge and recall the truck and fix the sensor. I had an estimate done to "fix" the sensor and it was over $1000, this is after already…

Have heard numerous others complain about the same thing. Just check the internet. Am i…

There appears to be a design flaw with the front brake assembly of the 2006 chevrolet colorado. Under normal operating conditions the inner brake pads can fail to function. Inspection of the front brakes on my 2006 colorado showed the outer pads had normal wear while the inner pads showed virtually no wear (pads were almost factory spec thickness). This was after 80,000 miles (85% highway driving) which indicated…
