Consumer Description

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FREE WHEEL WHEN TRYING TO STOP GOING FROM PAVEMENT TO SLICK OR WASHBOARD ROAD SURFACE. THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS NOT RELIABLE. I DISCONNECTED THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WASN'T RELIABLE. THE DEALER COULD NOT DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BEFORE I PULLED THE ABS FUSE. CHEVROLET SENT ME A VIDEO ON ABS WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THEM IMPLYING THAT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW ABS WORKED. I KNOW WHEN ABS DOESN'T WORK AND THE CAR FREEWHEELS NEARLY INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF YOU. CHEVROLET SHOULD REPAIR THIS PROBLEM TO PREVENT FUTURE CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES.
