#710546August 26, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
THE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS-- IT TAKE LONGER TO STOP THAN IT WOULD WITHOUT ABS, IT ALSO SEEMS TO ACTUALLY SLIDE ON SLIPPERY SURFACES SUCH AS ICE & SNOW.... EVEN THOUGH PEDAL IS HELD FIRMLY DOWN, THE WHEELS GRIP, THEN RELEASE, AS IF THE ABS IS NOT CYCLLING QUICK ENOUGH. I DRIVE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE WITH ABS & THAT SYSTEM WORKS DIFFERENTLY & WORKS OK. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PUMPING & PRESSURE I FEEL FROM THE PEDAL. THE WHEELS WILL SLIDE BEFORE THE ABS KICKS IN, OR SO IT SEEMS. AS REGARDS TO THE REAR DRUM BRAKES--- WHEN IT IS COLD & DAMP, THE REAR WHEELS WILL LOCK UP WITH JUST THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL... ONCE IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR APPROX 5 MILES & THE BRAKES USED & WARMED UP, THEN THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY...... THIS IS A VERY ANNOYING & DANGEROUS TRAIT OF THIS VEHICLE... THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.. THANK YOU
