    My 2005 chevrolet colorado will activate the abs system during braking on warm dry pavement and the vehicle will not stop. During these events the abs failure warning light was not illuminated. The brakes have failed at 4 mph and at 25 mph. Other times, the abs failure warning light is illuminated and the brakes work fine. No consistency and will not repeat for mechanic. *tr

    The brakes began squealing at mainly low speeds so i took it to midas. They claimed chevy has some sort of defect because the rotors were pitted and damaged and it should not be with a vehicle with less than 35,000 miles. This vehicle is not used hard hence the mileage and it is 5 years old. They claimed that when they called the chevy dealer, chevy claimed that both rotors and hubs needed replaced on the model…

Was told by dealership after $500.00 that calipers were frozen from rust! Also i have been getting abs failures also. Please have gm make this dangerous situation right.

    When the vehicle is start the abs fault message is given and the abs light illuminates. On other occasions, as the vehicle is driven after being started a clicking/grinding noise emits from the front drivers side area then the abs fault message is given and the abs light illuminates. The abs then will not function or will function each time the brakes are used even in a situation where they should not be locking up.…

    Abs warning light will come on in dry weather and abs will engage diminishing braking. This is a known problem with chevrolet and gmc 2004 - 2006 colorado and canyons. Gmc will refuse to do anything about it. My personal case is that they told me that they closed my complaint until i spend $100. To have diagnostics run for the error codes. All one has to do is go to edmunds.com and look at the hundreds of complaints…

I checked the brake fluid and its good. Nothing was damaged when the brakes were changed earlier. When i turn it on after having it off for a little while, there are no fault indications. When i start moving forward i can here…
