SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
PURCHASED CAR, 10/06/2000. UPON BRAKING OVER BUMPY ROAD, BRAKES SEEMED TO SLIP, AND MADE A THUMPING SOUND. DEALER SAID FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE OUT OF ROUND. THE ROTORS HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED, AND THEY REFACED BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. ON, 11/01/2001, AFTER A CAR WASH, THE ABS MOTOR RAN NON-STOP AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. DEALER "TESTED" ABS SYSTEM, ADVISED PUMP MOTOR HAD "FAILED" AND REPLACED IT, AT A COST OF $979.04. ON MARCH 20,2001, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS LEAVING WORK. DEALER ADVISED THAT THE PART THEY HAD REPLACED IN NOV,2001, HAD "FAILED" AND THEY WOULD REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE. THEY CALLED TO SAY WHEN THEY DID REPLACE IT, IT SHORTED OUT, AND NOW WE NEEDED A "MODULATOR" AT A COST OF $600.00 PLUS LABOR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND I KNOW THAT MANY OF THEM HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE ABS SYSTEMS REPLACED. IF CHEVY KNOWS THE LOCATION OF THE ABS IS A PROBLEM, WHY HASN'T IT BEEN CORRECTED? AND REPAIRS RELATING TO A DESIGN FLAW SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE THE CONSUMERS BURDEN.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2000 MODELS, HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS A 1999. I DOUBT THIS WAS A COINCIDENCE SINCE I HAD THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. THIS PART IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ABUSE UNDER ANY DRIVING CONDITION. I FEEL THIS PART IS INHERENTLY DEFECTIVE AND GM SHOULD SHOULDER THE $1,000 REPAIR BILL. *AK
