2005 Chevrolet Colorado

"ABS FAULT" READS ON MY DASH IN MY 2005 CHEVY COLORADO. HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN AND OUT OF THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES ALREADY. HAVE HAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED COSTING ME A PRETTY PENNY OF OVER 300 DOLLARS AND COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. HAS BEEN CHECKED OVER AND OVER BY THE DEALERSHIP COMPUTER READER AND EACH TIME HAS COME UP WITH NOTHING CAUSING THE ISSUE AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE NORMALLY AS SOON AS I TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND THE CAUSING THE ABS TO RUN AUTOMATICALLY ON A DRY SURFACE MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STOP WHEN NEEDING TO. I AM FED UP WITH THE PROBLEM AND REQUEST IT TO BE FIXED. YET TO BE DONE! *TR

2005 CHEVY COLORADO ABS BRAKES NOT WORKING RIGHT. WHEN ON DRY PAVEMENT THE ABS BRAKES COME ON AND IT IS HARD TO STOP THE TRUCK CHEVY COLORADO OWNERS HAVE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THE ABS BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THESE ABS BRAKE SOME DAY CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SOON . THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MADE ON ALL COLORADO AND CANON THIS BRAKE PROBLEM IS NOT CHEAP FOR OWNERS TO FIX HELP! *TR

THIS FAILURE STARTED WITHOUT CAUSE NOR WARNING. ABS PROBLEM. WHEN TRUCK STARTS AND IS DRIVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, THE ABS WILL ENGAGE, LIMITING MY BRAKING ABILITY. A MINUTE LATER "ABS FAULT" WILL APPEAR ON MY DASH. THE BRAKES WILL WORK FINE FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE, EXCEPT NO ABS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS EVENT CAN HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES DAILY, BUT USUALLY DURING THE FIRST MORNING START. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET, STILL RESEARCHING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS BRAKE SENSOR FOR THE FRONT WHEELS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY; THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT; THE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF FOR A FEW DAYS. THE DEALER REPLACED A PART (NAME OF THE PART WAS NOT GIVEN) IN 2008 AND AUGUST 2010. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000. UPDATED 01/31/11 *BF UPDATED 02/03/11

MY 2005 COLORADO BRAKES WILL LOCK UP WHEN COLD. ESPECIALLY AFTER SOME MOISTURE. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE, I HAVE GOOTEN CLOSE TO GETTIJNG REAR-ENDED WHEN THEY LOCK UP. *TR THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO INVALIDATE MY ABS. THE TRUCK STARTED DOING IT AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED, AND THEY ARE FINE. MY 1993 S-10 DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I EVENTUALLY GOT RID OF THE S-10, BUT NOW I HAVE THE VERY SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS COLORADO. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HELP. HELOP. HELP. HELP.

I AM STATIONED OVERSEAS IN ENGLAND AND ROAD GET VERY SLIPPERY. THERE ARE DEALERSHIPS OVER HERE, BUT THEY DON'T MESS WITH AMERICAN TRUCKS. EVERYTIME I GET GOING, MY ABS KEEPS FAULTING OUT AND THERE IS NO ERROR CODE POPPING UP, BUT YET MY BRAKES KEEP GOING OUT AND I AM WONDERING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN ALL THE BRAKES GO OUT AND I CAN'T STOP OR EVEN INJURE SOMEONE ELSE OR EVEN WORSE MY KIDS. *TR

2005 CHEVY COLORADO BRAKE LOCKS UP ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE LEADING TO HARD LEFT PULL ON VEHICLE TRAJECTORY AND SEVERE OVER HEATING AND SMOKE EMITTING FROM WHEEL WELL. I HAVE BEEN FORCED NUMEROUS TIMES TO PULL OVER TO ALLOW THE WHEEL TO COOL DOWN SO IT DOESN'T START A FIRE. USUALLY AFTER A COOL DOWN THE BRAKE SYSTEM RESPONDS FOR A WHILE. I HAVE HAD THE CHEVROLET DEALER REPAIR THE BRAKES AND WAS CHARGED FOR THE SERVICE. CHEVROLET DOESN'T CONSIDER THIS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR BRAKE SYSTEMS ON THE COLORADO. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 2005 AND HAVE HAD CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE ABS FAILURE WARNING LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE ALERTS. I RECENTLY HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED AND CLEANED AND NEW PADS INSTALLED BY MONROE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CHEVROLET ABS BRAKING SYSTEMS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 COLORADO CREW CAB 4X4. ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUMPED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ON WET ROADS IT IS LIKE DRIVING IN THE SNOW, IT WILL SLIDE IN WHAT EVER DIRECTION YOU ARE TRAVELING. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT HUB AND RIGHT SENSOR AND PUT ON NEW BRAKE PADS AND SHOES AND IT COST ME $1,181.80 AND I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE BRAKES WORK THEY ARE VERY GOOD BUT WHEN THEY DON'T WORK IT PRESENTS A BIG PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SQUEAKED SINCE THE FIRST DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE DEALERS LOT AND THEY ARE STILL SQUEAKING TODAY. I WOULD TAKE IT BACK AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD IT !!!!!!! *TR
