#710141August 18, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAD ONLY THE VEHICLE A COUPLE TWO OR THREE MONTHS WHEN ONE DAY I FOUND MYSELF IN A SITUATION TO HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP WHILE GOING ABOUT 35 MPH, WHEN I STOMPED ON THE BRAKES THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE TIRES SKID AND SCREECHED. THE FRONT END WENT TO THE RIGHT AND THE REAR END WENT TO THE LEFT ON THE INSIDE LANE OF A FOUR LANE STREET WHICH PUT THE FRONT END IN THE RIGHT SAME DIRECTION LANE AND THE REAR END IN THE INSIDE ON-COMING LANE. IT REALLY SCARED ME AS I EXPECTED A TRUE STRAIGHT FORWARD STOP WITHOUT ANY SKIDDING. ALSO AT TIMES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED NORMALLY THEY AT ANY SPEED THE BRAKES WILL PULL HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. ONE NEVER KNOWS UNTIL THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I HAVE THIS VEHICLE INTO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIR OF THIS AND MANY OTHER THINGS OVER THE PAST YEAR WHILE WORKING WITH THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE OFFICE. FINALLY I WAS ALLOWED TO MEET WITH THE SOUTH CENTRAL REGION AREA SERVICE MANAGER FOR GENERAL MOTORS. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE AND ABOUT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE MAKING A SIMULATED EMERGENCY STOP. HE HAS ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL. I DO NOT AGREE WITH HIM AS I HAVE AND HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES THAT HAVE RESPONDED LIKE THAT. I FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. I REQUESTED GM TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BACK FROM ME FOR THAT REASON AND THEY HAVE REFUSED.
