SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY SUBURBAN FAILED TO STOP MY VEHICLE IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. I WAS NOT SPEEDING AND THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE GREAT. I ALSO HAD PLENTY OF SPACE BETWEEN BOTH VEHICLES. I BRAKED, THE ABS SYSTEM TOOK OVER, AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I SIMPLY RAN RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS AWARE THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. I DID NOT OCCUR TO ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE GOVENMENT UNTIL NOW. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY INSURANCE COVERAGE GOING UP OR EVEN BEING CANCELLED. MY WIFE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HER 12/1/98. EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND I WILL FILE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON HER ACCIDENT. PLEASE SEND ME ANY DOCUMENTATION I'LL NEED TO PROVE MY CASE. ALSO, WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED IN JUNE, EVEN THE CHEVY PEOPLE ADVISED ME TO UNPLUG THE ABS SYSTEM. THEY ALL TOLD ME THAT EVEN THEY HAD UNPLUGGED THEIRS. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT THERE ABOUT THEIR ABS SYSTEM. AND I'M OUT $1000.00 IN INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLES TOO. YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, SCOTT A. KUEHL

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
IWAS DRIVING MY SON TO AN ORTHODONIC APPOINTMENT MID MORNING, GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS. THERE WAS RED LIGHT AHEAD WITH TWO CARS STOPPED. WHEN I BRAKED, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF MINE, WHICH THEN HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. IT FELT LIKE I DID NOT HAVE BRAKES THAT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. IT WAS CONFUSING TO ME AND I GUESS I BLAMED IT ON THE PAVEMENT. NOW THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO ME HUSBAND AND I NOW KNOW THERE IS DEFINATLY A BRAKE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND HAD UNPLUGGED THE ABS SYSTEM, ON THE ADVICE OF THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. WE'RE BOTH CONCERNED ABOUT OUR INSURANCE AND WOULD LIKE SOME HELP IF THEY TRY TO RAISE OUR RATES. WE'RE ALSO OUT INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLES, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE NIGHTS I COULD NOT SLEEP THINKING ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. MARIBEL KUEHL

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED(30 MPH), ON DRY PAVEMENT, AND WAS CONFRONTED WITH A LINE OF VEHICLES THAT CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I ENGAGED THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEN ON MY 1993 SUBURBAN ONLY TO CONTINUE FORWARD AND CONTACT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS ABS BRAKE SYSTEM, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, IS MARGINAL TO POOR AT BEST RELATIVE TO RESPONSE AND PEDEAL FEEL. REGARDS, PAUL J. LEESER

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS BRAKES ENGAGE WHEN BRAKING ON UNEVEN DRY PAVED ROADS UNDER CONDITIONS WHEN ABS IS NOT NEEDED TO STOP TRUCK. THIS CAUSES EXTREMELY LONG STOPPING DISTANCES WHICH HAS CAUSED ONE THREE CAR COLLISION AND ONE VERY CLOSE MISS. DEALER SAID ABS SYSTEM WORKS FINE EVEN AFTER ACCIDENT.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST CHEVROLET VEHICLE THAT I HAVE HAD THAT HAS HAD WIPER PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD 2 OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT HAVE ALSO. THE WIPERS DECIDE BY THEMSELVES WHEN THEIR GOING TO WORK IN THE RAIN. SOMETIMES THEY DO AND SOMETIMES THEY DONT. THEY HAVE JUST QUIT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAIN STORM IN TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK SEVERAL TIMES.
