SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DURING NORMAL BRAKING FROM SPEED OF APPROX. 45MPH TO SPEED OF APPROX. 20MPH ON FLAT, LEVEL, SMOOTH, DRY PAVEMENT, ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT REASON. ENTIRE CAR SHUDDERED AND STEERING ATTEMPTED TO PULL CAR TO THE LEFT WITH BRAKING ADJUSTED BY ABS WHICH LENGTHENED BRAKING DISTANCE GREATLY.. LOW TRAC DASH LIGHT ON DURING ABS CONTROLLED BRAKING EPISODE, BUT ABS LIGHT NOT ON AND NOT FLASHING. SHUDDERING NOISE HEARD FROM UNDER CAR, ESPECIALLY TOWARD RIGHT PASSENGER FRONT DURING ABS CONTROL OF BRAKES AND CONTINUED FOR APPROX. ANOTHER MILE AFTER BRAKE PEDAL HAD BEEN RELEASE AND SPEED OF 40 MPH WAS RESUMED. HAVE HAD PREVIOUS TROUBLE WITH ABS ACTIVATING WITHOUT REASON WHILE BREAKING TO A NORMAL STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT FROM SLOW SPEED (LESS THAN 10-15MPH) AND WHILE BREAKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN SLIGHT DECLINE AT SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING GARAGE. ALSO HAD INSTANCE OF CAR BEING FULLY STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMING ON AT SAME TIME AS CAR JUMPED FORWARD APPROX. 3 FEET, WHILE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY ALLOWED ITSELF TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIP RE: FREQUENT INSTANCES OF ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND REMAINING ON TO WHICH DEALERSHIP SAID TO SHUT CAR OFF, THEN TURN ON TO RESET ABS SYSTEM. HAVE HAD ABS SENSOR REPLACED ONCE, WHEN CAR WAS APPROX. 2 YEARS OLD. HAD NOT TROUBLE FOR APPROX. A YEAR AFTER THAT, BUT HAVE HAD INCREASINGLY MORE FREQUENT INSTANCES OF ABS LIGHT REMAINING ON (NEVER FLASHING), ESPECIALLY SINCE TIRES WERE REPLACED APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO. HAVE CHECKED FOR PROPER TIRE INFLATION AND BALANCE TO ENSURE THIS IS NOT THE DIFFICULTY. AM TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP LATER THIS WEEK FOR ABS SYSTEM TO BE FIXED.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
ON NOV.12, 1999, I PARKED MY CAR AT A GASOLINE STATION. I PUMPED SOME GAS AND AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN MY VEHICLE ON, MY ENGINE WOULD NOT START. I CHECKED TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY TO FIND ALL THE FUSES IN MY CAR BURNED ALONG WITH ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THE OWNER INFORMED ME THAT EVERYTHING HAD BURNED UP, THE ABS SYSTEM, THE COMPUTER, COMPUTER CHIPS, ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONETS WERE BURNED. HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE OWNER TOOK 3 MONTHS TO FIX IT. IT WAS SO EXPENSIVE THAT WE ONLY FIXED A FEW OF THE THINGS, WE DID AWAY WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE AIR BAG. BECAUSE WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS WE WERE UNABLE TO MAKE A PAYMENT ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO BE REPOSSESED. I RECALL READING AN ARTICLE IN CONSUMER REPORTS MENTIONING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BUT IT DIDN'T SPECIFY WHICH ONES. IF YOU COULD GIVE US SOME INFORMATION REGARDING THIS, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, A DISGRUNTED CHEVROLET BUYER

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ON AUGUST 5TH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, ON 8/8/2000 I TOOK IT TO BP GAS STATION BECAUSE THE ABS LIGHT WAS STAYING ON, IT COST ME 180.30 AT THAT TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM I THOUGHT, 3 DAYS AFTER THAT THE ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON, I TOOK IT BACK TO BP AND THEN WAS TOLD THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, I WENT BACK TO VALU MART DID SOME COMPLAINING AND SINCE I ONLY HAD THE CAR A WEEK THEY SUPPOSINLY REPLACED THE SYSTEM BUT WOULD NOT REIMBURSE FOR WHAT I HAD ALREADY SPENT, SO FAR THE ABS LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK ON. IT IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON, IT COST ME 430.00 FOR VALU MART TO REPLACE THE CYLNOIDS, ALTHOUGH ONLY THE NUMBER ONE CYLINOIDE WAS BAD ALL THREE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE ALL THREE ARE ONE PART, THIS IS TWO WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON, I TOOK IT BACK DOWN TO VALU MART AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MEMORY HAD NOT BEEN ERASED THAT IS WHY THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, SO THEY RESET THE MEMORY, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY PUT IT BACK ON THE MACHINE TO FIND OUT THEY HAD GOTTEN A BAD PART SO THEY REPLACED IT, BUT THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH IT THEY (VALU MART) DO HAVE THE PROPER EQUIPEMENT TO DETECT THE PROBLEM . HERE I HAVE PAID THEM 430.00 FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVEN'T FIXED AND ITS HARD TELLING WHAT THE DEALER IS GOING TO CHARGE AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR MORE THAN A MONTH YET AND HAVEN'T PUT BUT 700 MILES ON IT AND MOST OF THAT IS FROM IT BEING TEST DRIVEN AFTER EACH VIST TO THE GARAGE, I KNOW I BOUGHT THE CAR USED BUT I THINK THESE USE CAR PLACES SHOULD AT LEAST CHECK THESE VECHILES OUT A LITTLE BETTER BEFORE SELLING THEM, WHEN YOU PAY 6000.00 FOR CAR YOU AT LEAST EXPECT TO BEABLE TO DRIVE IT SOME BEFORE HAVING TO START PAYING FOR HAVING PARTS REPLACED. AND COME MONDAY 8/18/2000 ITS HARD TELLING WHAT THE DEALER WILL FIND..

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS LIGHT COMING ON JUST SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THEY SUPPOSEDLY SAID IT WAS NOTHING SERIOUS, THEY MAY HAVE REPLACE(DOUBT IT) OR JUST RESET SENSOR. ON 7/3/00, MY LIGHTS(ABS & LOW TRAC) CAME ON SO I CALLED DIFFERENT MECHANIC...I WAS TOLD THAT COULD BE NOTHING BUT COULD ALSO BE PROBLEM AND TO BRING CAR IN. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SENSOR HUB WAS NOT WORKING AND SO I HAD THE LEFT SIDE REPLACED. ONE MONTH LATER, AUGUST 21, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR IN AND THIS TIME IT WAS THE RIGHT SIDE THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THAT CHEVY OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, SHOULD REALLY TAKE THEIR CUSTOMERS SERIOUS WHEN THEY SAY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, AS WE THE CONSUMER DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES ON A DAILY BASIS AND KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY DO A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE IS DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ENDS OF DYING DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. I WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED OF SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURRED TO ME. SINCERELY
