POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I LOSE POWER WHEN GOING UP SLIGHT INCLINES AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HESITATE WHEN DRIVING UP THE INCLINE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE BAD BUT HAD THEM CHECKED AND ARE FINE. I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BECAUSE THE CAR ALSO ROLLS BACKWARD WHEN STOPPED OR ON AN INCLINE.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
WE HAVE HAD CONSISTANT PROBLEMS WITH OUR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WILL SEEM TO ACTIVATE AND GIVE OUT, LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES FOR A FEW MOMENTS. AND THE ANTI-LOCK BREAK LIGHT INSIDE THE CAR WILL COME ON AT VARIOUS TIMES AND STAY ON, EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TONY CHEVEROLET AND OTHER REPAIR SHOPS AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL CONSIST. WE WERE WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM COULD BE RELATED TO THE RECENT RECALL OF THE CHRYSLER BENDIX 10 ABS? WOULD OUR BRAKES BE SIMILAR OR THE SAME MODEL AS THE ONES BEING RECALLED? AND HAS GENERAL MOTORS HAD COMPLAINTS WITH THESE MAKES AND MODELS? WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS SYSTEM SINCE WE'VE FIRST OWNED THE VAN.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ALL LIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BREAK SYSTEM COME ON SHORTLY AFTER STARTING VEHICLE.: SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ANTI-LOCK AND TRACTION CONTROL. I CLEARLY LOSE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE FEATURE. AT TIMES BRAKES MAKE A FUNNY NOISE AND CAR LOSES BRAKING FOR SEVERAL FEET AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER SAYS CHEVY IS AWARE AND SAYS THEY WILL DEAL WITH IT AFTER Y2K AND FOR NOW TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND START IT AGAIN. THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM FOR VERY LONG!
