SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AGO I BEGAN NOTICING PROBLEMS ON ROUGH SURFACES WITH MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED ON A ROUGH SURFACE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTUATED BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE STOPPING THE CAR. I ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO BE SIMPLY A FUNCTION OF THE ROUGH SURFACE COMBINED WITH THE RAINY CONDITIONS AT THE TIME. YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHICH CONTINUED EVEN AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 60 AMP FUSE FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO STOP THE PUMP FROM ACTUATING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC MODULE WHICH OPERATES THE SYSTEM HAD SHORTED OUT. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY 6 OTHER PEOPLE I WORK WITH HERE AT EGLIN AFB.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
THE FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN BY GENERAL MOTORS AND WAS ANNOUNCED VIA ATSB SAFETY RECALL 98043. FAILURES ARE SEEN IN VEHICLES WHOSE VIN NUMBERS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL SAFETY RECALL. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED A LARGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES SINCE IT APPARENT THAT MORE FAULTY CONTROL MODULES WERE INSTALLED IN VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN THE EARLY TO LATE 1990'S.*AK
