I own a 2001 silverado with 45k miles. Looks brand new on the outside and inside. The wife took the garbage down to the dumpster and complained she had to pump the brakes to stop because they when down to the floor. I pulled right front wheel off and saw the pads where in great shape. I noticed fluid under the drive side of the truck. Put my fingers in the fluid and determined it to be brake fluid.

Recently replaced my fuel pump because the car wouldn't start. 2 weeks later having the same problem. The car periodically will not start and then 1 or 2 weeks later it will and run good till the next time no one can figure out the problem. Also had to replace intake manifold and power window regulator. What is up with oldsmobile????? Never again!!!

Dt: the contact stated the brake lights and the ABS light kept coming on. He owns a 2001 GM yukon xl. The dealership told the contact it will cost him $3,000.00 to fix it. The consumer believed this was a defect in the car. The dealership told him there was no recall. He noticed this about three months ago.

Abs went off at slow speeds and the brake would pulsate. Removed rust build up under ABS sensor mounting surface. After it was fixed GM had a recall that excluded missouri and I just don't think it was fair. It seems there is a problem with all there 2001 chevy pickups not just by states.
