2001 Chevrolet Astro Brakes Problems

I AM A LICENSED CAR DEALER. I AM VERY CONCERNED AT WHAT I AM SEEING WITH MY CUSTOMERS, WITH CARS I SEE AT THE AUCTIONS, AND WITH BLOG SITES ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING CHEVY'S EBCM COMPUTER MODULE. AT THE AUCTIONS I AM SEEING AT LEAST 25% OF CHEVROLETS AND ABOUT 10% OF FORDS COMING THROUGH WITH BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS ON. MY MAIN CONCERN IS WITH THE CHEVY'S EBCM. THESE VERY EXPENSIVE UNITS FAIL AT THE RELAY POINT ON THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS DUE TO BAD SOLDER JOINTS FROM THE FACTORY. WHEN THEY FAIL, THE DRIVER GETS A BRAKE LIGHT AND AN ABS INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH. THE BRAKES STILL WORK ON THE CAR, BUT THEY DON'T WORK AS DESIGNED. IN FACT THE DRIVER GETS A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY BECAUSE HIS CAR IS STOPPING, BUT IN A SLIPPERY SITUATION IT WILL NOT STOP AS DESIGNED. WHEN I WENT TO THE INTERNET FOR IDEAS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I AM FINDING A LOT OF POSTINGS SAYING JUST TAKE THE BULB OUT OF THE DASH! I AM ALSO SEEING ADS ON E BAY WHERE YOU CAN SEND YOUR EBCM TO A REPAIR STATION, THEY TAKE IT APART, AND RE SOLDER THE JOINTS FOR $49. I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY WANT OVER $1000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM! I HAVE HEARD OF PEOPLE SELLING THEIR VEHICLE AS IS AND TELLING THE BUYER THAT IT'S OK. THE BRAKES WORK. I CAN'T GET THE LIGHT TO SHUT OFF! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IT WILL BECOME MORE DANGEROUS AS MORE AND MORE CARS ARE DRIVING WITH INOPERATIVE EBCM COMPUTERS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE DEFECT COMES FROM HAVING THE COMPUTER DIRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE FRAMES NEAR THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE TAKING ALL THE SHOCK AND VIBRATION IN THAT AREA. I AM ASKING THE GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE FOR DEFECTIVE EBCM COMPUTERS. I ALSO FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS FAR WORSE THAN THE DODGE CLOCK SPRING RECALL, AND THAT EFFECTED ALL DODGE VEHICLES. THIS BRAKING PROBLEM WE ARE SEEING IS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT MAY CAUSE A LARGE LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, I HAD THE CODE PULLED AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE, IT IS THE ELECTRONIC ABS CONTROL MODULE AND UPON GOOGLING "CHEVROLET BRAKE ABS LIGHTS" IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THEIR APPEARS TO BE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH FAULTY ABS ELECTRONIC MODULES WHICH PREVENTS THE ABS FUNCTION FROM WORKING. *TR

1) NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES WOULD "PRESSURIZE" WHEN COMING TO A STOP AS IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ACTIVATING. I'VE EXPERIENCED NORMAL ACTIVATION BEFORE ON ICE, SNOW, AND LOOSE GRAVEL SO I KNEW WHAT IT WAS DOING. IT BEGAN HAPPENING A LOT SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (BASIL CHEVROLET, WELLSVILLE, NY) ON 9/24/07. THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS, PADS AND TOLD ME "ROAD TEST OK...ON ROAD TEST DID EXPERIENCE ANTILOCK PROBLEM. ONLY ONCE FELT - UNABLE TO VERIFY". 2) TOOK MY VAN HOME AND WAS SEEING THE PROBLEM AS MUCH IF NOT MORE SO THAN BEFORE. WAS QUITE UPSET THAT AFTER SPENDING OVER $400 DOLLARS ON THE AUTO, I STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED THAT I TOOK THE VAN IN FOR. COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD BRING IT IN TO "CLEAN THE SENSORS" FOR ME BUT COULDN'T GET ME IN UNTIL "NEXT WEEK". THE VERY NEXT DAY THE PROBLEM AROSE WHILE PARKING MY VEHICLE AT WORK. I LOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY AND SMASHED INTO THE REAR END OF A TRUCK. NO DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AT ALL BUT EXTENSIVE DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. SMASHED GRILL, BUMPER, HOOD, HEADLIGHT, AND POSSIBLY MORE THAT I HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED YET. GOT STOPPED BY THE LOCAL POLICE FOR THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE. 3) NOTHING DONE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I LEFT THE VAN AT THE AFOREMENTIONED DEALER FOR REPAIR WORK ON THE BRAKES AND THE HEADLIGHT. HOPING TO PICK IT UP TODAY. *TR

2001 CHEVY ASTRO -- DOES NOT STOP WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. JUST KEEPS "SLIDING". ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE ABS BRAKES. IF FUSE IS IN, WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND GROWLS AND JUST CONTINUES TO SLIDE AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS COMING TO A STOP OR PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES. ---VERY DANGEROUS--THANK GOD HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND REALIZED THAT TAKING THE FUSE OUT WOULD STOP THIS PROBLEM, BUT CAUSES IT SO THAT THERE IS NO ABS. *NM

THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN A STORM AND EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH THE BRAKES. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED DECEMBER 28, 2006 WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VAN DIDN'T STOP. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED HE SCHEMATICS AND NOTED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM COULD BE AFFECTED BY A FUNCTION IN THE STEERING SYSTEM AND IT COULD LOCK.

I HAVE A 2001 ASTRO AWD THAT WAS TAKEN TO MEINEKE BRAKE CARE CENTER WHERE THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ANALYZED. THE FRONT DRIVER (ABS) WHEEL SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED. NOTE PRIOR TO HAVING THIS DONE THE (ABS) LIGHT CAME ON THEREFORE I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE AT A VERY SLOW STOP THE BRAKE WOULD RELEASE ITSELF AND WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO MOVE. AFTER MEINEKE ANALYZED THE PROBLEM I HAD THE BRAKE SENSOR REPLACED, AND THE (ABS) LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES SEEMED TO BE WORKING NORMAL AGAIN. HOWEVER JUST ONE WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A VERY SLOW STOP, MIND YOU THE LIGHT (ABS) IS OFF AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND THE BRAKES RELEASED ALL THE WAY CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO A FENCE. HOWEVER, LUCKILY NO ON WAS HURT OR PROPERTY DAMAGED CAUSED BUT WITHOUT WARNING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS TRAVELING BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE OR LARGE TRUCK. THE BRAKES HAS ONCE AGAIN BEEN ANALYZED FOR PROBLEMS AND THE SENSOR THAT WAS REPLACED SHOWS NO ISSUES. CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NO ONE HAS REPORTED? PLEASE ADVISE WITH ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS MATTER, IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. *JB

NO CRASH OR INJURIES, JUST A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND A BAD FINANCIAL SITUATION. MEALS ON WHEELS OPERATES FOUR ALL-WHEEL DRIVE CHEVROLET ASTRO VANS - YEARS 1999, 2000, 2001, AND 2002. IN EACH VEHICLE, AT LEAST ONE (AND SOMETIMES BOTH) ABS SPEED WHEEL SENSORS HAVE GONE BAD, CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION - AT SPEEDS OF 5-7 MPH. THIS IS THE SAME SAFETY HAZARD THAT CHEVROLET RECENTLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR ITS FULL-SIZE 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS. WHY CAN'T THE OWNERS OF ASTRO VANS RECEIVE THE SAME COURTESY AS OWNERS OF THE TRUCKS? WE'VE SPENT MORE THAN $2,000 TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS - TRUCK OWNERS ARE GETTING THEIR MONEY BACK - WE WANT OUR MONEY AS WELL. THERE MUST BE OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS, OR HAVE SPENT AS MUCH AS $800 PER WHEEL TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES DESIGN CAUSED RUST TO BUILD UP ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROTORS. HE FELT THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO COVER THE ROTORS. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY WERE SPONGY, AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE STEERING WHEEL. HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THEY DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. HE CONTACT HAD TO PANIC BRAKE BEFORE THE BRAKES ACTUALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT IT HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES TO HAVE A RECORD. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WAS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE ENOUGH, AND THAT HE WAS USING THE BRAKES TOO OFTEN. THE DEALER MAINTAINED THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET ASTRO VAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS UNWANTED ACTIVATION OF THE ABS SYSTEM. WHEN THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS THE ABS ACTIVATED AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS RESULTED IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS AT A DEALERSHIP, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP COULD FEEL THE PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT KNOW HOW TO REMEDY IT. THE DEALERSHIP ROAD TESTED THE VEHICLE AND DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND THE FAULT WOULD HAVE TO BE MORE CONSISTENT TO OFFER REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC, AND HE STATED THAT RECALL 05V379000 WAS ISSUED FOR A 2001 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN REGARDING THE ABS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL.
