50 reportsWHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH BRAKES WENT OUT, AND IT WAS HARD TO STOP VEHICLE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK
WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP THERE IS A VERY BAD VIBRATION COMING FROM BACK END OF VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER STATED THAT BRAKE PADS WERE GETTING STUCK TO ROTOR.*AK
DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS BRAKES ROUTINELY FAIL WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WHILE GOING OVER ANY KIND OF BUMPS. BRAKES EVENTUALLY COME BACK ON AS LONG AS I CONTINUE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS BRAKES ROUTINELY FAIL WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WHILE GOING OVER ANY KIND OF BUMPS. BRAKES EVENTUALLY COME BACK ON AS LONG AS I CONTINUE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL. INITIALLY THOUGHT MY FOOT HAD SLIPPED OFF OF THE PEDAL SLIGHTLY AND DEPLOYED ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, HOWEVER, AFTER 5 TIMES THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE. I HAVE READ THE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS SECTION OF THIS SITE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON S-10 TRUCKS.*AK
CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLYED THEY DO NOT HOLD, HAD ABS SENOR REPLACED PROBLEM REOCCURED.*JB

BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY TRUCK ON EXIT RAMP IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES TO STOP TRUCK .DIDNT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL TRUCK STARTED PULSATING DURING NORMAL BRAKING; 13000 MILES ON TRUCK . ONLY WHEN ANTIFREEZE WAS LEAKING FROM ENGINE COULD I LEAVE IT WITH A DEALER. I TOLD THEM THE BRAKES FAILED ONCE AND THEY ;BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY . THIS TRUCK HAS 5 YEAR 100,000 MILE EXSTENDED WARANTY THAT I PAYED FOR. IAM NOT A MECH, BUT I HAVE WORKED ON CARS FOR TWENTY YEARS . THE DEALER SAID UNDER NORMAL WEAR THE TRUCK NEEDS A BRAKE JOB ON FRONT 250 DOLLARS ,15000MILES HIGHWAY DRIVING. I DONT CARE ABOUT THE BRAKES ,BECAUSE I CAN REPAIR THEM MY SELF .IAM ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT BRAKES FAILING AGAIN .*AK
I NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED. WITHOUT WARNING, OVER A COUPLE OF SMALL BUMPS OR AREA OF ROUGH ROAD, ALL BRAKING IS LOST. IT IS A SCARY FEELING ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS TRAFFIC OR A TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE IN FRONT OF YOU. I DID NOTICE THAT THIS HAPPENS LESS WITH WEIGHT IN THE PICKUP BOX. *AK

SEE ODI 755882. I OWN 2 2001 CHEV S10 LS 2 WHEEL DRIVE EXTENDED CABS. BOTH HAVE THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. A. THE MOLDING ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOWS ON THE DOORS IS LOOSE AND COMES OFF EASILY. ONE OF THE TRUCKS HAS ALREADY THE MOLDINGS REPLACED. THE WINDOWS SOMETIMES GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND TILT OUT. B. THE REAR END CLUNKS/CLANKS WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND YET. C. THE TAILGATE ON BOTH TRUCKS WILL NOT LATCH COMPLETELY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ONE TRUCK HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THE TRUCK WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED IN A BODY SHOP. THE FRAME AND BODY COMPONENTS OF THE BOX WOULD NEED TO BE STRAIGHTENED IN ORDER FOR THE TAILGATE TO LATCH PROPERLY. THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN DONE ON EITHER TRUCK YET. D. THE MOST DISTURBING PROBLEM IS THE STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF THE BRAKES. BOTH TRUCKS HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE IN A QUICK STOP OR EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS FIRM YET NO BRAKING POWER IS FELT AND THE TRUCK SURGES FORWARD WITHOUT SLOWING. BOTH TRUCKS HAVE HAD THE REAR BRAKES LOCK UP (THE ABS FAILED TO ENGAGE). ONE TRUCK HAD ALL THE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED AT 500 MILES. THIS CORRECTED THE LOUD RUMBLING SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS FROM THE BRAKES BUT DID NOT IMPROVE THE ABS. THE OTHER TRUCK NOW WITH 22,000 MILES SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE SERIOUSLY UNBALANCED OR THE ROTORS ARE BADLY WARPED. HOWEVER, THE ROTORS WERE CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE IN SPEC AND THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED. STILL THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND IS INTENSIFYING DAILY. THE SHOP WHICH CHECKED PROBLEM CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD A "PULSE" IS NORMAL IN ALL VEHICLES WITH 4 WHEEL ABS SYSTEMS. I DRIVE OVER 1000 MILES A WEEK. I THINK I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ABS BRAKES ENGAGING AND WHEELS ABOUT TO FLY OFF. I HAVE SPOKE WITH SEVERAL OTHER 2001 GM TRUCK OWNERS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO ARE ALL EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKES.
