Consumer Description

THE ABS LIGHT TURNS ON CONTINOUSLY. THE DEALER UNDER GM ASSISTANCE HAVE FAIL TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OVER A PERIOD OF NINE MONTH. THIS MINI VAN IS USE TO TRANSPORT MY 1 YEAR SON, MY THREE YEAR OLD DAUGTHER,AND MY WIFE. I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND I HAVE ASKED FOR ENGINEERING ASSISTANCE ON THIS MATTER FROM BOTH GM AND JON HALL CHEVROLET, BUT THE ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN DENIED. PLEASE ADVISED IF MY FAMILY IS IN ANY DANGER IF TRANSPORTED BY THIS VEHICLE UNDER AN ABS LIGHT SIGNAL. . THE DEALER'S AND MANUFACTURE DON'T SEEM TO BE REGARDING IT AS LIFE THREATNING. THE SYSTEM CODE COMPUTER HAS RECORDED SYSTEM FAILURE IN ITS CODE LOG. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A LIGHT RELAY GETTING STUCK. PLEASE ADVISE. I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE ENOUGTH TECHNICAL BACKGROUNG TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM TAKES OVER THE BRAKING SYSTEM ADJUSTING FLUID PRESSURE TO PREVENT THE TIRES FROM LOCKING UP. AN ABNORMALITY IN THIS SYSTEM COULD CAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM NOT TO BRAKE PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE WILL BE APPRECIATE. I CANNOT GET PAST GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE FRONT. *AK
