Anti-lock brake pump developed internal short. Vehicle only had about 47,000 miles on it. Chevrolet dealer quoted $1000 to replace pump. Called 1 800 complaint number. They called dealer and worked the price down to $400. Still too much for me to pay for a defective part that should have been replaced for nothing.
Consumer states when appling brakes, after vehicle has stop, brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and vehicle suddenly accelerates with feet still on the brake, have to slam on brakes to stop vehicle. Maufacturer was of no help with this problem. Nlm
While at dealership for repair work mechanic determined that rear rotors were crumbling and needed to be replaced, drums and lining as well. The emergency brake was not working. The rear brakes were corroded and worn out. The rear brake pads and both rear rotors were replaced. The brake shoes on both sides were replaced. There was a squeaking noise in the front end when the vehicle goes over bumps. The driver door panel failed and was reinstalled, also the arm rest for the bucket seat pops off constantly, seat belts lock up after being replaced twice under recall, the steering joint was repaired, also when consumer steps on the gas, the truck does not move for a few seconds, the rear window was replaced, due to leaking, and the engine hesitates.
The brakes were pulsating and squeaking because the front and rear brakes and rotors were rusted. The dealer fixed the problem with recalls C00093-S and C00024 but the problem still exists.

Without any indication, front end of vehicle locked up, causing consumer to lose control of vehicle. Dealer was contacted, and stated that subframe needed to be replaced. The front differential was torqued sideways and broken apart, causing the frame to have 2 breaks, this caused the front to lock up, also prior to this consumer complained of a delay between the forward and reverse, when a bump was felt when accelerating, consumer also heard a clunk noise, dealer drained and replaced the transfer case fluid twice. The engine sputters in 4 wheel low and there is a whine noise or pulley noise from the engine. The front seat arm rest fell off. The left front daytime lamp was full of water due to the assembly being improperly sealed at the factory. The brakes pulsated and pedal felt soft, dealer stated the right rear caliper was sticking and the front and rear rotors were corroded badly, causing the brake pads to wear. The electric brake was inoperable, dealer installed a new plug, the wiring harness was badly damaged. The power windows were inoperable. The left door creaks due to front door link being loose. Consumer was informed that he was supposed to sign a waiver because of the plow being placed onto the extended cab, this was because the installation was not recommended, however the consumer was never informed of this until after the installation and the problems with the vehicle.
While driving at 35-40 mph brakes went completely out, dash illumination for bakes stays on, and runs the battery completely down. Please provide any further information or make corrections.

Brakes are bad and very soft, when hitting pedal, it takes a while for truck to stop. Consumer states pedal has lots of slack, on panic stops the brake pedal goes to the floor, brake pads are okay.
The ABS system/pump made a terrible sound and the warning light came on inside the vehicle. I contacted the dealer who stated just to unplug the ABS power supply but the brakes were fine. Another friend, Julian scaff, has the same make/model/year truck and has had the exact ABS failure. Both were at approx. 45,000 miles. I have also had problems with the rear brakes locking up and not unlocking for a few minutes. This has caused untold wear and reduced fuel milage considerably. These are serious safety issues.
