SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT UNDER MODERATE TO LIGHT BRAKING, ONCE THE VEHICLE FALLS BELOW ABOUT 3 MPH (I.E., IN THE LAST FEW FEET BEFORE A COMPLETE STOP), A SHUDDER IS FELT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL LASTING 1 TO 1-1/2 SECONDS. THE SHUDDERING IN THE PEDAL IS ACCOMPANIED BY A STUTTERING SOUND. THE VEHICLE STOPS NORMALLY --SO FAR -- EXCEPT FOR THE VIBRATION AND NOISE. THIS HAPPENS ON 30%-50% OF THE STOPS; THE REST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO NOISE AND NO SHUDDERING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER HAS TRIED TWICE TO FIX PROBLEM, BUT TODAY WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET TECH REP THAT THIS CONDITION IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THEIR TRACTION CONTROL/ABS SYSTEM AND WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY FURTHER WORK BY THE DEALER! I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS A "NORMAL CONDITION" AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE CATASTROPHIC PROBLEMS SHOULD THIS CONDITION REMAIN UNCORRECTED.*AK
