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.
ABS module failed and caused ABS valve to fail. Dealer would not contact GM to see if they would cover this failure as a defect. ABS has been disabled on the truck. I tried to contact a michelle lee who is GM's northeast rep. Whom I spoke to on another matter several times throuigh GM's 800 number to no avail.
While traveling at 25mph ABS system went out and the brakes locked up. It became difficult for consumer to slow down. Contacted dealer. Consumer states as he was turning that ABS went out and the vehicle began to skid, vehicle was taken into dealership and consumer was informed that the ABS computer module failed.
Would have no ABS brakes after pressing on brake pedal. Had fuse removed due to ABS pump continuing to run. ABS module had shorted out. Have taken to mechanic, but warranty expired. Drivers side window will not roll up, there was a popping noise when backing up and turning, dealer replaced lower ball joint, passenger side window leaks, leather seats are torn, cruise control module was replaced, dash panel parts inoperative, also cup holder rattles and the right back window leaks.
Vehicle experienced a brake loss when applying brakes before reaching a stop intersection. Dealer was notified, and informed consumer that ABS motor needed to be replaced. Feel free to provide any further information.
When applying brakes at any speed brake pedal goes down more than it should, it feels spongy, and braking distance is extended. Dealer has replaced front and rear rotors 3 times. Once due to rust, other times dealer did not know what else to do. Front and rear pads were replaced twice. Consumer states there is a noise in the steering, also seat belt was hanging up, the underhood lamp was inoperative, an horn acting erractically.
Since consumer has owned vehicle, three brake pads have worn out and needed to be replaced. Front right brake pad tended to wear out more than the left - but both were replaced.front left brake overheated and glowed red during normal operating conditions. *note: While traveling over bumpy surfaces, consumer attempted to apply brakes and it felt as if there was no pressure for brakes to function. Dealership has examined the vehicle, but could not remedy the problem. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Sometimes in heavy traffic, pushed on brake pedal and pedal went down to the floor, also had to pull off road to keep from rearending another vehicle, contacted dealer, and dealer stated had to read manual. Consumer was later informed by dealer that they are aware of a problem with the ABS but do not have a remedy as of yet.
When applying brakes and simultaneously hitting a bump in the road ABS sensors must believe that the tires are skidding. The results are terrible. You cannot stop vehicle. I talked to the service manager at george white chervolet. He is aware of the problem, but indicated there is no fix. Absolutely unbeliveable. I am positive people have been killed by this problem. But, GMC did not have a solution. Please advise as to what I should do!! hopefully before I or my family gets killed.
Vehicle was parked, started engine, immediately noise from under drivers side, shift off ignition, same noise, finally removed fuse and noise stopped dealer said ABS unit failed, needs replacement. Unit should be warranted but is not.
The ABS motor continues to run with key in off position fuse was pulled after talking to dealer. Throttle body making accelerator pedal stick in stop position making more press. Having to be applied and truck to jump foward when stick breaks free.
The ABS control pump under the driver seat continues to run after the vehicle is shut off. Therefore rendering the ABS system inoperative. Chevrolet has offered no support to fix this problem.
