SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
BRAKING SYSTEM SEEMS TO FAIL ON BUMPY AND WET CONDITIONS. BRAKES A UNDERPOWERED FOR THE WEIGHT OF VEHICLE AND OVERHEAT WHILE TOWING. REPLACED MASTER CYL TWICE DUE TO LEAKS. I AM TOLD AT A CAR SHOW CHEVY IS AWARE OF THIS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FAILURES I HAVE FOUND ON THIS SIGHT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. LIVES ARE AT STAKES AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT, NOT THE CONSUMER. DEALER TOLD ME TO UPGRADE BRAKES TO THE EXISTING SYSTEM 96 AND UP WOULD COST ME 1400.00. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE EVEN THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN. THE BRAKES SYSTEMS IN THESE 94 SHOULD BE RECALLED. ASK ANY MECHANIC WHO HAS WORKED ON THESE BRAKE SYSTEMS.
