Consumer Description

NEW IS GM IS RECALLING THE CHEVY TRUCK ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I HAVE A 94 ASTRO TWO WHEEL DRIVE VAN. I'VE REPORTED SERIOUS PROBLEMS WHERE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP. DOES THIS RECALL INCLUDE MY VEHICLE? ALSO; I FEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKES SHOULD BE AN OPTION. ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE NEED THE PROTECTION IF THEY PANNIC STOP. MOST PEOPLE ACQUIRE THE FEEL OF A VEHICLE AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL IT. ANTI-LOCK BRALES DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IF SOMEONE PUMPS THE BRAKE OR APPLYS INCREASING AMMOUNTS OF PREASURE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. ANTI-LOCK BRAKES MUST HAVE HARD CONSISTENT PRESSURE TO STOP A VEHICLE SAFTLY WITHOUT HAVING THE TIRES SKID. IN OTHER WORDS THE DRIVER MUST PANNIC STOP. THIS IS AGANIST MOST DRIVERS NATURAL INSTINCT.
