problem #1

Sep 012005

S-10 Pickup 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 33,800 miles
The contact stated when applying the brakes at a high speed the brakes will chatter. When applying the brakes while approaching a stop sign the brake pedal will go to the floor and it will pulsate. The brakes will not allow the vehicle to come to an abrupt stop, but has extended stopping distance. A recall for other general motor vehicles regarding the ABS system, was issued, but this vehicle was not included in the recall. Upon inspection, it was determined that the rotors needed to be turned. The service dealer turned the rotors, replaced the brake pads and the brake shoes. This remedied the problem. The dealer will have to check the ABS to determine if the speed sensor was the problem. Updated 02/07/06.
