I apologize that you are experiencing a concern with your vehicle. Did you take the vehicle to independent shops or GM dealerships? Do they clear the code and it keeps coming back or are you feeling problems with the brakes still? Thank you,
Mariah GM Customer Service
The bulbs also burn out quickly what a piece of crap
Can you tell me a little more about what is going on with your vehicle? Also, have you had the vehicle diagnosed for the concerns? How long has the issues been present in the vehicle? Thank you,
Mariah GM Customer Service
I can check for any recalls but I will need you to e-mail me your VIN. However, any more information about a diagnosis or repair would require you to take the vehicle to the dealer. You can get my e-mail by clicking on gmcustsvc.
Thank you,

by so many. For I to have this problem and I'm flabergasted as to why so
many still have this problem after making all these trips to dealers. I bet
there's more people (that only dealerships would know) having these same
issues. I just replaced shoes and pads for the first time on my 2006 4x4
that has 100,000+. Hoping this would take care of the dash ABS FAULT
but it still comes on with all the vib's etc. wherever and whenever. Luckily
not a busy road and only doing 30 or so. There has to be an easier fix
than just taking it to a dealer over and over. I'm hoping somebody can
come up with it before I rear-end somebody.
Have a good day
I reset the computer doing the switch on and the gas pump to the floor three times.
So far no more ABS FAULT coming up on the dash. I'll cross my fingers and hope
the fault doewsn't show up ever again. At least for another 60K+. Then the rotors
and drums can be changed. Good Luck to all you truck owners.
Apparently, the computer can get confused when a new and old hub are used together (the right side was an older one) After searching for 2 months, they found a NOS hub of the older design and the truck was repaired. Until now. The ABS is acting up again, and get this, when I reverse the truck (from park), the light doesn't activate (or will de-activate if it's been on) but pulling forward, the system activates.
I had replaced the pads and shoes and noticed one of the parking brake cables was slow to return to the released position. Seems to be a connection here... I return to the dealership tomorrow for them to diagnose again, I'll keep you all posted. BTW my truck has less than 50K miles on it. One good thing about the Isuzu was the extended warranty as the hubs are still covered!
I finally took the fuse out for the ABS and now my screen just says ABS FAULT constantly for over a year. The dealership told me it was over the warranty so it was too bad so sad for fixing it.
What are we to do now? Why isn't chevy recalling this and fixing their junk? I shouldn't have to pay so much for it to never be corrected.
first thing, sorry for my lack of proper terminology.
the front wheel hubs have the speed sensor ring built into them. the sensor ring on mine was 'floating' causing irregular ( total ) wear on one side. he showed me he could push them in and cause them to not spin parallel to the rotor causing rubbing.
the new AC delco hubs we put in, this piece is solidly connected to the hub.
I pad over $1300 to replace
2 hubs, 2 rotors, 2 pads, 2 ABS sensors and labor - much better than the >$2500 GM wanted to charge me for the same.
I have also had trouble with the ABS on my O4 Chevy Colorado 4x4 5 cylinder 3.5. If you could contact me thru email or thru this forum i would appreciate it. My email is emrys02@yahoo.com
I would be happy to speak with you regarding your concerns. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail. Please include your Edmunds name and address the e-mail attention Christina. I look forward to your response.

First of all, what an ordeal!! Afterward, I began getting random "ABS Fault" messages on the dash read out. After doing a LOT of research, it appears that the wheel speed sensors are NOT of a robust design, and about 50% of the time, any brake work done of the truck will result in one or both sensors no longer working.
The net result of my research also suggested that you simply, but not cheaply, replace the hubs and sensors, so you don't have to continue to take 'stabs' at fixing the issue. This past Saturday, that is what I did. I disassembled the front end again, this time replacing both hubs and both sensors, and all seems to now be OK.
2 rotors, (top shelf, HP items) $175; ceramic brake pads, $75; 2 hubs, (top shelf, American made) $310; 2 speed sensors (AC Delco) $110...total $670 in parts and about 9-10 hours in labor to do the job twice...
You have emailed GM Customer Service? Do you have a case set up. If you would like to email me with your problems attention Christina, I would be happy to look into your situation.

That recall states that "If the brakes are applied while the vehicle is traveling at a speed of greater than 6 km/h (3.7 mph) but less than 16 km/h (10 mph), the corrosion may cause an unwanted anti-lock brake system (ABS) activation. If this condition occurred where stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur."
Since GM is not moving on this one (clearly a design flaw) maybe the complaints to NHTSA are the way to go.
Save your repair invoices!
Yes! And some complianed to the NTSB as I have and no response. It has been a waste of time and a determent tactic I believe. The unions are too strong. Just kiss you and your families arsh goodbye when you need your brakes. Then SUE..SUE...SUE.
I bet the first $100 MILLION DOLLAR lawsuit will trigger one. Brick Goodnight
It's too bad because I really like this truck and have been a faithful GM owner all my life. That may soon change. GM ignoring this is a symptom of corporate greed...it's everywhere.
Thanks!
I don't see any recall information for your VIN. I would recommend taking your vehicle to your local dealer of choice. If you need assistance locating one please let me know. Feel free to email me directely.

With all due respect, I don't see where you're accomplishing anything for us Canyon/Colorado owners by asking over and over, "Have you contacted your dealer"? Nine times out of ten, that is the FIRST thing we've done, only to be put off for some reason or other.
Read my post, #81...Although I only mentioned the front brakes in that post, I also had to replace the rear brake shoes as well, due to excessive wear. I spent over $700 to replace the brakes on a 30,000 mile vehicle. I've NEVER had to put brakes on a vehicle after so short a period of time, yet I had to with this truck. The only saving grace to this whole ordeal is that I'm capable of doing the job myself, instead of having to pay FULL LIST price for the parts, as well as the $90/hour labor rate that I would have had to pay, had I taken it back to the dealer, or for that matter, any repair shop.
The front brakes on this truck are not of a robust design, and the company doesn't admit to it, or stand behind it. It's that simple, and continued postings telling us to "talk to the dealer", or "there's no recall information for your VIN", is getting to be rather insulting to us. What we customers want to see is specific action to repair our vehicles, and/or reimbursement for the untimely repairs that we've paid for out of our pockets....
Can you please email me with your Edmunds user name, VIN and current mileage? I would like to look into this for you.

I understand your frustration and apologize. I understand where you are coming from; however, I ask because there are many people that come online looking for more information before they speak with the dealer. The problem with fixing your vehicle on your own is then this is not documented with GM, and that’s with any repair. I have been looking into this and forwarding it upward in management. I apologize I do not have an immediate answer for you.

I appreciate your reply, however let me clarify something. I'm almost 60 years of age, and have been working on automobiles and trucks for a little over 40 years. I've also bought a number of cars and trucks during that time period. In other words, "I've been to the rodeo a few times"...
With respect to my particular situation, I'm 99.9% sure that a manufacturer will NOT cover "wear" items such as brake pads/shoes, especially after the vehicle has gone out of warranty. So, let's say that I opted to take the truck back to the dealer, and they opted to replace the parts that I mentioned, charged me full list price, which is what they do, and on top of that, charge me approximately $90 per hour for the labor, which is what they do, for the approximately 4-5 hours that the job would take.
Add up the numbers, and it would be up around $12-1300 for the parts and $400 for the labor...$16-1700, or so. Let's say that I complain vigorously to GM, and the GM zone rep feels generous that day, and decides to reimburse me at 50%... I'm still out $800 for a brake job that shouldn't be needed that soon in the vehicle's life.
