SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
I HAVE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER FOR THE BRAKES 3-4 TIMES AND HAVE PUT NEW BRAKES ON IT ALL THE WAY AROUND. THERE IS SURELY NO WAY I COULD GO THROUGH THAT MANY MASTER CYLINDERS WITH IN THE TIME I HAVE HAD IT. MY NEXT MOVE IS TO REPLACE OR LOOK AT THE "BOOSTER" FOR THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM. MY BRAKES ARE NOT HOLDING PRESSURE, WHEN STOPPED, I HAVE TO ETHIER PUT IT IN PARK, OR PUMP THE BRAKE TO STAY FULLY STOPPED....IT KINDA "EASE UP" LIKE YOU UNKNOWNLY LET YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE BUT YOU DON'T. PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOMETHING ON THIS...ANYTHING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PROUD CAMARO OWNER, MICHELLE DORR., SALLISAW, OK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
THE CLIP THAT HOLD THE FUEL LINE UNDER THE ENGINE I DON'T BELIVE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPLETE ITS TASK. I HAVE HEARD MANY INCIDENTS IN WHERE OWNER OF THE 94- PRESENT CAMAROS HAVE HAD FIRES UNDER THE HOOD OF THERE CAR BECAUSE THIS PLASTIC CLIP BREAKS AND THE FUEL LINE THEN COMES INCONTACT WITH THE VALVE COVERS WHICH BURNS A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE AND CAUSED A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. I BELIVE THIS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THANKS

#702576January 25, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
A POLICE OFFICER WITNESSED THE ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS TURNING RIGHT ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE. THE WEIGH SHIFTED FORWARD, LOCKING UP THE ABS SYSTEM, CAUSING THE CAR TO CONTINUE FORWARD WITH NO PULL OT TRACTION TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THIS LOSS OF CONTROL AT NORMAL SPEEDS MAY HAVE CAUSED SIMILAR ACCIDENT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THERE WAS NO TICKET ISSUED. THE CAUSE WAS LISTED AS "LOCKING OF THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM". WE BELIEVE THAT THE GM ABS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH DEGREEE OF PROBABILITY OF BEING VERY DANGEROUS. WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY SIMILAR REPORTS HAVE BEEN LODGED AND RECOMMEND A FACTORY REPLACEMENT OR ADJUSTMENT TO THIS POTENTIUALLY DANGEROUS SYSTEM IN THE 1996 CARS. IS THERE A KNOWN FIX TO THIS? *AK
