Consumer Description

TRACTION FEATURE FAILS WHEN BRAKING. THE BRAKES WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO TRAVEL FORWARD ALTHOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED. THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN BRAKING ON AN INCLINE OR IN WET CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS WHETHER THE SPEED IS FAST OR SLOW. HAVE BROUGHT VEHICLE TO GRAFF CHEVY FOR RECALL REPAIR, BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS. HAD BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED BY FIRESTONE WHO STATED THAT NEITHER OF THESE NEEDED REPAIR, AND THEREFORE, ARE NOT ADDING TO OR CAUSING THE PROBLEM.
