“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A U-TURN, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOOSE PRESSURE ABNORMALLY. IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, HE CONTINUED TO PUMP THE BRAKES UNTIL THEY RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS ON THE PARTICULAR COMPONENT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE ELECTRONIC ABS WOULD NEED REPLACING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.”

“APPROACHING AN ON-RAMP, ATTEMPTED TO STOP, LOSS OF BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY. RESULTED IN A CRASH. ONE PERSON WAS AMBULANCED TO HOSPITAL. THE MECHANIC LATER FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUPTURED. I RECEIVED A TICKET. I KEPT THE BRAKE LINE. *TR”

“MY 2000 CHEVROLET STARTED TO ACTIVATE THE ABS WHEN STOPPING, BUT ONLY WITHIN THE LAST 5 MPH BEFORE STOPPING, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS CURRENTLY A TSB, 020525006, OPEN FOR THE ISSUE. IS FOLLOWED THE TSB AS I AM MECHANICALLY INCLINED, TEST DROVE THE TRUCK AND NEARLY RAN INTO THE WALL ON THE BACK SIDE OF MY GARAGE. I PULLED THE FUSE TO THE ABS MODULE AND THE TRUCK STOPS WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND A RECALL FOR ALL OF THE CHEVROLET FULL SIZE TRUCKS, MODEL YEAR 1999-2002. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE ISSUE I AM DEALING WITH. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKE CONFIGURATION IS THE SAME AS THE FULL SIZE TRUCKS. THERE ARE S10'S WITH A DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION, BUT MINE IS THE SAME AS THE FULL SIZE TRUCKS. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING WITH THE ABS DISCONNECTED. TO GET THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, I AM GOING TO PUT IT BACK IN SO THAT I CAN GET THE TRUCK INSPECTED AS I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO GET IT FIXED. THE FIX FOR THIS I BELIEVE IS TO HAVE THE HUB REPLACED AS THAT IS WHERE THE CORROSION EXISTS. *TR”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR WHEELS ON THE FOUR WHEEL ABS INDEPENDENTLY LOCK AND STICK. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDS TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED AND DOES NOT RELEASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CALIPERS AND BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WERE FINE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V055000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK). THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,578 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,078.”
