I HAVE A CHEVROLET CAMARO Z28 1994, QUITE OFTEN THE ABS INOPERABLE LIGHT COMES ON, MEANING THE ABS OR ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN WHICH THE SEVERITY OF THE ABS OPERATING IS CRUCIAL TO PREVENTING ACCIDENTS. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, AT ANY GIVEN SPEED AND IT TERRIFIES ME WHEN I SEE IT. I AM UNAWARE OF WHAT BECAUSE OF THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE IS. I ALSO OWNED A PONTIAC FIREBIRD 1997 THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, MOREOVER THESE TWO CARS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE BODY. THIS IS A GM PROBLEM IN LIEU OF BOTH CARS BEING MADE BY GM. I HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED OF ANY RECALL NOR HAVE I SEEN THIS ISSUE ON ANY RECALL LIST, ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS HAVE BECOME STANDARD ON ALL VEHICLES DUE TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PREVENTING ACCIDENTS AND I HAVE ALSO READ MANY COMMENTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CAREFUL CONSIDERATION MOREOVER INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WEBSITE WHERE CONSUMERS ARE ABLE TO VOICE THESE DEFECTS THAT AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS SWEEP UNDER THE RUG. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU AND THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.
