NHTSA Complaint #709644 — 1993 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN

THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY SUBURBAN FAILED TO STOP MY VEHICLE IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. I WAS NOT SPEEDING AND THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE GREAT. I ALSO HAD PLENTY OF SPACE BETWEEN BOTH VEHICLES. I BRAKED, THE ABS SYSTEM TOOK OVER, AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I SIMPLY RAN RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS AWARE THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. I DID NOT OCCUR TO ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE GOVENMENT UNTIL NOW. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY INSURANCE COVERAGE GOING UP OR EVEN BEING CANCELLED. MY WIFE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HER 12/1/98. EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND I WILL FILE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON HER ACCIDENT. PLEASE SEND ME ANY DOCUMENTATION I'LL NEED TO PROVE MY CASE. ALSO, WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED IN JUNE, EVEN THE CHEVY PEOPLE ADVISED ME TO UNPLUG THE ABS SYSTEM. THEY ALL TOLD ME THAT EVEN THEY HAD UNPLUGGED THEIRS. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT THERE ABOUT THEIR ABS SYSTEM. AND I'M OUT $1000.00 IN INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLES TOO. YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, SCOTT A. KUEHL
