SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE VEHICLE HAS ONGOING ABS PROBLEMS. THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS ON ALMOST INSTANTLY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN SHUTS DOWN AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 13 TIMES FOR THE PROBLEM AND VARIOUS SENSORS WERE REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. THE FRONT PADS ONLY LAST ABOUT 8 MONTHS BEFORE THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE BECAUSE OF WARPING. THE VEHICLE PULLS SHARPLY TO ONE SIDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE REAR AXLE SEALS, REAR TRANSMISSION SEAL, FUEL PUMP, AND AC COMPRESSOR ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE PROBLEM IS MY GREATEST CONCERN HOWEVER. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND NOW MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE LOCAL DEALER THAT SERVICED THE VEHICLE (BILLY NAVARRE CHEVROLET IN LAKE CHARLES LA) SAID THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK
