SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES HAVE NOT ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE LAST OCCASION RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION ALTHOUGH THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP IF THE BRAKES HAD WORKED PROPERLY. THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IS OF NO HELP BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAIL SPORADICALLY AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER TEST SHOWS NO DEFECT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM TO COMPLAIN AND THEY HAVE AN OPEN FILE ON THIS (NO. 990468281) BUT HAVE NOT OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ARE IGNORING. THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *AK
