NHTSA Complaint #10203559 — 2001 CHEVROLET S10

DURING ROUNTINE OPERATION, AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE EMER AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDICATING A FAILURE OF THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. AFTER CHECKING WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I EAS INFORMED THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE OF THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND TO REPAIR THE SYSTEM IT WOULD COST APPX 1,200.00. THE VERY NEXT DAY THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND REMAINED OFF FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. BRAKES OPERATE NORMAL, ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CONSUMER TO DETERMINE THE EXACT EXTENT OF THE FAILURE AND TO WHAT SYSTEM. ALSO CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH GM S SERIES VEHICLES ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP. *TR
