NHTSA Complaint #10442197 — 2005 CHEVROLET COLORADO

ABS WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON IN DRY WEATHER AND ABS WILL ENGAGE DIMINISHING BRAKING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET AND GMC 2004 - 2006 COLORADO AND CANYONS. GMC WILL REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY PERSONAL CASE IS THAT THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CLOSED MY COMPLAINT UNTIL I SPEND $100. TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS RUN FOR THE ERROR CODES. ALL ONE HAS TO DO IS GO TO EDMUNDS.COM AND LOOK AT THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE FORUM FOR THAT MATTER. EVEN THE ERROR CODES ARE SHOWN. I FINALLY RELINQUISHED AND TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO HAVE CODES READ. JUST LIKE THE FORUMS STATE THE ERROR CODES CAME BACK, C0035, LEFT FRONT SENSOR AND C00220, LEFT FRONT IN RELEASE TOO LONG. SENSOR AND NEW HUB IS ESTIMATED BY DEALER TO BE $762.00!!!!DEALER ALSO STATED GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS DUE TO POOR/FLAWED DESIGN. MY VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2005, IS IN SHOWROOM CONDITION. I SEVERELY BABY THIS TRUCK, EVEN TO THE POINT I PAINT THE UNDERCARRIAGE 3 - 4 TIME A YEAR. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ABS ENGAGING UNEXPECTEDLY IN COMPLETELY DRY WEATHER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGINS TO THUMP AND BRAKING IS SEVERELY REDUCED. *TR
