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

WITH ONLY APPROX. 35,000 MILES BEING PUT ON TRUCK. IN LATE MAY OF 2008 WE WERE TOLD THAT FLYWHEEL HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO BECAUSE IT WAS THE ADDITIONAL PROBLEM. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER STARTER IS BAD AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT MIGHT BE A BAD CAM SENSOR. DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT A SERVICE MEMO HAS GONE OUT TO MECHANICS.

ON 11/08/06 I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES FROM SEARS AT THE REGENCY MALL IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. ON 7/17/07 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO SEARS AGAIN WHEN I CHANGED LANES AND HAD A BLOWOUT. AT MOST I RAN OVER ONE OF THE REFLECTORS ON THE ROAD LINES, BUT THE BLOWOUT WAS SO BIG I WOULD HAVE HAD TO RUN OVER SOMETHING MUCH LARGER AND SHARPER. I WOULD HAVE SEEN IT. I WENT BACK TO SEARS AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY INSISTED THAT I RAN OVER SOMETHING I KNEW I DID NOT. I EVEN WENT BACK AND CHECKED THE ROAD. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I DEVELOPED AN UNDETECTABLE AIR LEAK ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. I TOOK THE TIRE TO A TIRE STORE. THE WORKER TOLD ME THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE, THOUGH STORE MANAGEMENT WOULD NOT BACK HIS STATEMENT IN WRITING. TIME HAS PASSED LONG ENOUGH THAT IF THOSE TIRES WERE TRULY DEFECTIVE THEIR WOULD BE A TRACK RECORD OF THIS PARTICULAR BRAND OF TIRE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ONE TIRE, THAT HAD THE BIG BLOWOUT AND THE OTHER TIRE , THE REPAIRMAN WAS UNABLE TO FIX. I PUT SOME OF THE LIQUID FIX IT IN IT AND THAT SEEMED TO MEND IT. I THINK THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. THE TIRE INFORMATION IS AS FOLLOWS: BRAND: FALKEN ZIREX TUBELESS DOT V4KU-3MTR2606 PR-181-235/60R16 ZE512 100H M+S U5061 *TR

NO ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE BUT THE TRANSMISSION IN TWO SEPARATE 2000 MODEL S-10 AND AN S-10 BLAZER HAVE GONE OUT IN THE SAME EXACT MANNER WITHIN 3,000 MILES OF EACH OTHER AND BOTH VEHICLES WERE PRIMARILY DRIVEN IN TWO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. THE SLIPPING OF THESE TRANNYS IS SO SUDDEN THAT IT ACTUALLY ALMOST BECAME A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I APOLOGIZE IF THIS IS BEING SENT TO THE WRONG DEPT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF CHEVY HAS HAD ANY RECALLS ON THESE MODELS AS WELL. THANKS! *TR
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT PAYLOAD INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL. THE PAYLOAD SHOWN ON THE LABEL IS GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM VALIDATED PAYLOAD. IF THE VEHICLE WERE LOADED TO THE INCORRECTLY LABELED PAYLOAD, IT MAY NOT RIDE AND HANDLE IN THE MANNER THAT THE DRIVER EXPECTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE OR AN INABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE SENT A NEW LABEL FOR INSTALLATION ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF THE VEHICLE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY DATE CODES AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE ANY SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MOTOR CONTAINING AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION SPRING CLIP. THIS CLIP COULD ALLOW THE MOTOR BEARING TO BECOME MISALIGNED. IF MISALIGNMENT OCCURS, EVENTUALLY THE ABS WOULD BE NON-FUNCTIONAL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE BASE BRAKES WOULD REMAIN FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE DYNAMIC REAR PROPORTIONING (DRP) SYSTEM, WHICH OPTIMIZES FRONT TO REAR BRAKE BALANCE, WOULD BECOME INOPERATIVE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE PRESSURE MODULE VALVE ASSEMBLY.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: S -TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE HAD THE RIGHT-HAND ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE FEED PIPE AND/OR BRAKE CROSSOVER PIPE TUBE NUTS TIGHTENED WITHOUT SEATING THE PIPE-FLARED-ENDS ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND NORMAL ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE INPUTS WITHOUT PARTIALLY UNSEATING. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC SERVICE BRAKE NORMAL, EMERGENCY, AND PARK BRAKING PERFORMANCE."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED, THE SEATING SEAL COULD BE BROKEN DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY, OR FROM EARLY ROAD INPUTS OR BRAKE FLUID CYCLING, AND A LEAK COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE BRAKE STOPPING DISTANCE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRAKE PIPE UNION FOR SIGNS OF BRAKE FLUID, AND IF NECESSARY, INSTALL A NEW BRAKE PIPE UNION.

GM WILL HONOR ALL REQUESTS BY OWNERS WHO OPT FOR REPLACEMENT WITHOUT QUESTION REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION OR APPEARANCE OF THE CABLES. GM HAS AGREED TO MAIL REMINDER NOTIFICATIONS TO OWNERS EVERY TWO YEARS UNTIL THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS 12 YEARS OLD.ODI'S INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF THE REPORTED COMPLAINTS (87%) AND INJURIES (94%) HAVE OCCURRED IN MY 2000 - 2003 S/T VEHICLES.
