This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
: the contact stated while driving on normal road conditions at low speeds, and under normal braking conditions, the anti-lock brakes failed to stop the vehicle. The ABS activated, causing extended stopping distance. After the first incident the dealer replaced the rotors. The second time the dealership put brake pads on the rear, cleaned the sensors, and resurfaced the front and rear rotors. However, the problem recurred. The right rear window regulator was replaced. Updated 02/07/06.
The contact stated when applying pressure to the brakes they made a grinding noise. The service dealership said the rear rotors rusted, and the frontal rotors wore out. They replaced the rear brake shoes, pads, and rotors. Also, the front rotors and pads were replaced. When contacting a Chevrolet dealership they said it was due to normal wear and tear.
Anti lock brakes; when going slower the anti lock brakes engage themselves. Was never repaired. Main brakes, both front and rear were replaced ( pads and rotors) after an unusually short amount of time. Left door glass was inoperative. Tech replaced broken door glass regulator.
I have a 1999 Chevrolet C/K 2500 5 speed pickup, and the antilock braking system is failing to opert. Properly. I have replaced all of the front and rear pads, and shoes. Along with rear drums, front rotors and all of the lines. And I have a problem that GM will not help me repair the defect on vehicle, and that no recall is out for this vehicle. The problem is when I try to stop in any condition dry or wet roads, low or high speeds the ABS braking system fails by making a loud growlling song, and locks the brakes on one side of the vehicle. I have taken it to several dealers and priv. Shops and they are unable to repair the problem. And have know information on what is causing the brakes to lock. This is the second time to replace the parts within five months. And somethink needs to be done. My father-in-law also has the same year of work truck and is having the same problem. The problem has not caused and crash due to driver safty but needs to be looked at. For if an inexperienced driver may lead to failure with possible injury.
While braking the consumer would have extended stopping distance. The dealerships mechanic inform the consumer that the front/rear rotors/pad were corroded and replaced them.
G30, braking system malfunctioned, causing brake pads to wear out. Pads needed to be replaced 4 to 5 times which caused extended stopping distance, and could have resulted in a crash. Dealer was not willing to help, and could not determine the cause of the problem. The vehicle rear ended someone due to brake failure, there were no injuries and the dealer is still refusing to work on the vehicle.
