2001 Chevrolet Trailblazer Brakes Problems

“While coming to a stop in my 2001 chevy Trailblazer the brake system (ABS) keeps engaging causing it not to stop. I have went through many stop signs and intersections from not being able to stop. Changed all the brakes ,bleed the brakes and put new sensors on..still having the same issues . I have read that GM knows that this is a flaw in the design ,what can be done about it?”

“While driving at 25 MPH on a rural road consumer came to a stop. Then pressed the brakes, and consumer felt that brakes tried to engage, but vehicle kept going across the intersection. After traveling another sixty feet or so vehicle came to a stop on its own. Dealer acknowledged that there was a flaw design in the ABS system.”

“The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that while parked, the parking brake would not engage. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed a spring within the parking brake assembly had fractured, which required replacement. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.”

“While driving ABS light came on. When applying brakes pedal went to the floor. Dealer contacted. The vehicle had gone through five red lights, intersections, and stop signs with no brakes and was unable to stop. Other problems were: the tires were out of round(all 4), there were no brake or tail lights, the engine surged, the speedometer fluctuated, there was a smoke and or smoky odor, the electronic brake control failed, the vehicle did not start, the brakes would lock when the vehicle was backed, and the battery died.”
