My 2006 Colorado started the same way last year. There was about 30000 miles on the truck and I had owned it nearly three years. i finally got around to having it repaired last week.The diagnosis was faulty left wheel sensor. Labor and parts would be about $227 but as they got into it they found the back side of the bearing had rusted and forced the exciter ring to ride along the sensor and damage the sensor.
That added another $350 to the bill. The mechanic said the other side was rusting and would most likely do the same. I was told this was a design Chevy has changed.
Hope your extended warranty is better than mine. This should be a recall repair.

Hello Joe22306,
Thank you for the update. I am glad that the dealership figured out the cause of your concerns. I know $2500 can be a lot of money, and I looked through the case notes and it looks like you are going elsewhere for the repairs. If you have any further questions please let me know. Thank you,
Mariah GM Customer Service

My 2005 Colorado is having a problem with the ABS Fault light coming on and the pedal gets hard and brakes barely function. This appears to be a well known problem to GM. I guess they will take care of it when I go through the a** end of another car.

I have the exact same issue, but I'm stationed in England and Chevy dealerships won't touch and don't know what a truck is! I am not popping any codes, but England roads are wet and get very slick and I am scared of the brakes giving out and I can't stop!! GM might do a recall when I send them the bill lol

I am very concerned since my truck started having ABS faults about two weeks ago. I haven't been able to find anyone that can help with this issue. We have taken the truck to three different shops with no fix yet. The brakes have been replaced, the sensors have been replaced and still there is no correction for this problem. After reading multiple posts about this same type of error, I have posted a formal complaint on http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm . All of you that have this same problem, please go out and do the same thing as well. Maybe we can get GM to wake up if we all post to the NHTSA and get them checking into it. Maybe if they get 50+ complaints in a couple of days, they will truly help us out.
Thanks
