NHTSA Complaint #11139872 — 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

AS I WAS AT STOP LIGHT 3 DAYS AGO AND AT A LOW SPEED AND ABOUT TO STOP MY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS AND IN DOING SO IT RELEASED THE BRAKES EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL PRESSING THEM. I AVOIDED HITTING THE CAR AHEAD OF BY SHOVING IT INTO PARK. IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO STOP AND NOW HAVE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO ACTUALLY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN ABS ACTIVATES AND RELEASES BRAKES. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED I REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES AND THEY TRIED TO SAY IT WAS ALSO THE TIRES. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT BUT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT LET ME KNOW IT WASN'T FIXED AND NEARLY ROLLED OUT ONTO A HEAVY TRAFFIC ROAD. I CALLED THEM AND INFORMED THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND ASKED WHY THEY LET ME DRIVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I ASKED THAT THEY REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THEY SAID THAT WAS UNSAFE AND NOT LEGAL FOR THEM TO REMOVE THE FUSE. I ASKED POHANKA CHEVY HOW IS THAT ANY MORE OR LESS UNSAFE THEN NO BRAKES TO STOP. IT IS THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS FAILING FOR SOME REASON AND WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED TO FIX. POHANKA ONLY OFFERED A APOLOGY BUT WILL NOT FIX OR HELP AND I NOW HAVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT COULD FAIL ME AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT. I SPENT $785.41 AND THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THEM TO MY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CONSUMER DIVISION OFFICE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 12 YEARS AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF IT. NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM UNTIL 3 DAYS AGO. DO A RECALL ON THIS ABS BRAKING SYSTEM!
