2006 Chevrolet Colorado Brakes Problems

ABS FAULT LIGHT REMAINS ON. SENSOR WAS REPLACED BUT THE ERROR MESSAGE DID NOT GO AWAY.

ANTI LOCK BRAKES MAKE NOISE. WARNING LIGHTS COME ON . OK ABOVE 30 MPH BUT BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON. DEALER SAYS BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUBS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY WANT AROUND $1000 TO DO THIS. CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER [XXX]. THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS,REQUESTED THIS IN WRITING THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME THIS IN WRITING . THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING WITH THIS TRUCK, AND MANY OTHERS FROM WHAT I SEE ON THE INTERNET. THEY SAY TRUCK TO OLD & TO MANY MILES, BUT THEY ADVERTISE LONG LASTING CHEVY TRUCKS.06 59000 MILES . ALSO HAD A $2900 PROBLEM WITH ENGINE . CHEVROLET HELPED ON THIS. COST ME ABOUT $530 TO FIX A FACTORY DEFECT. THANKS *TR

STOPPED AT RIGHT TURN YIELD SIGN BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES; CARS STARTED TO MOVE THE CAR AHEAD OF ME STOPPED AGAIN I PUT ON MY BRAKES AND SLOWLY HIT THE VEHICLE IN THE REAR. AFTER THE INCIDENT I NOTICE THAT MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD SLOWLY GO TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I HIT THE VEHICLE MY PEDAL WAS HITTING THE FLOOR, I HAD NO BRAKES. NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, MINOR DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLE'S PLASTIC BUMPER. *TR

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY AS IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE ACTIVATING. AFTER A SHORT TIME DRIVING, AN ABS WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATES INDICATING A FAULT. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE FIRST, THE BRAKES DO NOT ACT IN THE WAY A DRIVER WOULD EXPECT AND WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES I GET CONCERNED EVERY TIME THAT THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK. SECONDLY, I BELIEVE THE FAULT MAY CAUSE THE ABS TO NO LONGER FUNCTION IN CONDITIONS IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AMONG COLORADO AND CANYON TRUCKS. A "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTEDLY IN THE RANGE OF $1500 WITH MANY OWNERS REPORTING THAT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED OR CONTINUED. I FEEL THAT ANY ISSUE INVOLVING A FAULTY BRAKE COMPONENT MUST BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CHEVROLET HAS CHOSEN NOT TO DO THIS AND I FEAR THIS MAY BE YET ANOTHER FAILURE ON THE PART OF GM TO ADDRESS A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES. I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THAT I AM THE FIRST TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR TIME. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INCIDENT DATE, MILEAGE AND SPEED ARE ONLY ESTIMATES. *TR

NO BRAKE LIGHTS. FUSE IS NOT BLOWN. *TT

AFTER HAVING MY FRONT BRAKES REPLACED, THE ABS SENSOR ON MY BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY FAILS WHEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK. WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS, MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE IMPAIRING MY ABILITY TO STOP. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM WITH CHEVY COLORADO/CANYON TRUCKS AND GM NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECALL THE TRUCK AND FIX THE SENSOR. I HAD AN ESTIMATE DONE TO "FIX" THE SENSOR AND IT WAS OVER $1000, THIS IS AFTER ALREADY PUTTING $1000 INTO REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKES SIX MONTHS AGO ON A TRUCK WITH BARELY 40K MILES. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY COLORADO 4WD CREW CAB PICK UP WITH 22,000 MILE. THE ABS FAULT ALARM HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF, STARTED ON 8/4/2011. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. REPAIRS HAVE YET TO BE MADE. WITH THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF VEHICLE, I WOULD THINK THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ABS SYSTEM. *TR

DESCRIPTION: ABS FAILURE, TRANSMISSION, LEAKS (SELECT ABOVE WON'T WORK) ABS WARNING LIGHTS GOES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND BRAKES FAIL TO FUNCTION. TRANY STICKS IN 4 WD & WON'T GO INTO 2WD, DRIVER FLOORGETS ABOUT 1/2 INCH WATER ON FLOOR FROM RAIN. *TR

ABS BRAKES RANDOMLY ENGAGE OR ENGAGE DURING NORMAL APPLIED BRAKING. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY COLORADO, THE ABS FAULT MESSAGE COMES UP DAILY, AND THE ABS ENGAGES FOR NO REASON, MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO START. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND CAN BE FOUND ALL OVER THE INTERNET, INCLUDING EDMUNDS.COM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

ABS BRAKE HUB/ SENSOR ....BRAKES GO INTO ABS MODE WITHOUT CAUSE OR REASON. BRAKE PEDAL GOES INTO ABS MODE, WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED TRUCK PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT. CHEVROLET HAS REPLACED THREE HUB ASSEMBLIES OF WHICH I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR TWO. DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

2006 CHEVY COLORADO- 4WD- Z71, EXTEND CAB 1. PREMATURE REAR BRAKE SHOE WEAR (MORE THAN FRONT DISK); 2. RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT BLOWS OUT REPEATEDLY AND SHOWS SHORTOUT BURNS ON CONTACTS AT BULB SOCKET. REPLACING BULB JUST BLOWS EACH TIME. 3. REAR WINDOW LEAKS IN HEAVY RAIN STORMS. *TR

PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THEY STARTED TO PULSATE AS IF IT WAS HARD BRAKING AND I WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND GET OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. SINCE THEN THE ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY AND I LOOSE THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I BELIEVE THE FRONT HUBS MAY BE FAILING OR THE SPEED SENSORS WHICH IS BUILT INTO THE FRONT HUBS ARE FAILING.

2006 CHEVY COLORADO ABS BRAKE FAULTS. LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKES PEDAL HARD TO PRESS. BRAKES SEEM TO NOT WANT TO STOP TRUCK NORMALLY. *TR

THE REAR BRAKES LOCK UP AT SLOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. THEY WILL DO THIS IN SUCH A WAY THAT CATCHES YOU OFF GUARD AND THROWS YOU FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED A FEW SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE LOCK UP TAKES AWAY CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE SEVERITY OF THE LOCK UPS VARIES SOMEWHAT. THEY MAY LOCK THEN UNLOCK BUT THEY CAN JUST AS EASILY LOCK UP AND BRING THE TRUCK TO A SKIDDING STOP. THEY ARE ALSO SQUEALING SEVERELY. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000.

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY COLORADO WITH ONLY 42,000 MILES, MY ISSUE IS THE ABS FAULT LIGHT APPEARS ON THE INFORMATION CONSOLE AND STAYS LIT. I'VE GONE TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE ANSWER. I'VE BEEN ON A FEW COLORADO FORUMS AND IT ALL SEEMS TO BE THE SAME COMPLAINT, THEIR ABS/BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVY COLORADO IS HAVING ABS PROBLEMS. BRAKES ARE SQUISHY AND PUMPING OWN THEIR OWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SOMETIMES WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THEY AREN'T TOTALLY THERE. THE PEDDLE WILL ALMOST GO TO THE FLOOR. THE ABS AND PARK BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE ALONG TIME (LAST COUPLE OF YEARS). HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING. JUST CHECK THE INTERNET. AM I IN DANGER OF A CRASH? PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WE ARE ALL HAVING. *TR
