Thanks Caron. The last time I brought my truck to the dealership was May 17th 2011. At the time I was having problems with my ABS but since the warning lights weren't on they didn't see any problem.(cost $36.00) I also was experiencing problems with my heater/ac blower (blower only worked on highest setting) and had the heater blower resistor and connector replaced. They told me that the wiring had actually melted! Is this normal?? The dealership is Hight, Farmington ME.
 
On May 6th I brought my truck to Midas where I currently live and they did the diagnostic stating that the ABS sensor on the right front wheel was bad and it was about an 800.00 job! (why didn't Hight see that on the 17th?) I went somewhere else and they told me to take out the fuse and it bought me quite a bit of time! Fuse has been back in for quite a while now since I had to take the truck for inspection and didn't want all the lights on my dash!

I would like to set up a case with GM Customer Assistance. In order to start the process I will need your complete contact information (including full name, mailing address and phone number), VIN and current mileage sent to me in an email. Also, could you please provide a description of the problems you are experiencing or just include your user name from the forum?

I had it replaced at my local garage as the dealership kept giving me the run-around about my brakes not needing repair. The hub was replaced as was the sensor about 8 months ago. I just recently had my front brakes replaced for the first time since I purchased the truck and the ABS fault resumed randomly showing up . . . again.
 
What concerns me the most is that the ABS is actually kicking in without me even applying the brake at all. This to me is a safety issue. My concern grows even more as winter approaches and I live in the northeast where snow is heavy. 98% of the time it happens within the first few miles of driving, and as of recent I noticed that if I put the truck in neutral and turn it off and restart it, the ABS activating stops and the fault does NOT register.
 
It appears that I am not alone with this problem and hope you can assist get it resolved.
 
Thanks in advance for your assistance and I apologize for not posting back sooner as I am caring for my 81 year old father-in-law.

I have an 2006 Colorado ext. cab with 38050 miles on it. the abs alarm started to alarm off and on about 2 months ago. i can not get it to a shop before the alarm goes off . i have had the abs checked for codes The codes are c0035,c0040,c0899,u1064, i can understand the battery code as i had to have the battery replaced at 35,000 miles. i cannot afford a lot of expense to repair as i am on a fixed income i need to know just what needs to be repaired. thanks bear3985

bear3985,
 
I apologize for the problems you are experiencing with your vehicle. Unfortunately, I am unable to diagnose the vehicle. I would encourage you to take your vehicle into your local GM dealership as they are better qualified to diagnose the vehicle.
 
Thank you,
Caron, GM Customer Service

I'm having the same ABS fault problems on my 2005 Chevy Colorado. Its not clear to me from reading through this forum including the answers from the GM service representative whether or not this is a safety issue. If there is a design flaw I'm hoping GM steps up and does the right thing informing Colorado owners of this problem.
