I had my front brakes replaced as they were in need of it due to uneven stopping, but reason more so was the ABS light would keep coming on. The brakes feel like they are going to fail, not allowing you to come to quick stop as needed, even at a stop sign or light. This still happens even after brake work was done. Mechanic said the ABS sensor was in the wheel bearing and would cost over $300 to change that. However, the problem still exists and I am afraid it is going to cause a serious accident, for example, should someone pull out in front of me and I am unable to stop due to ABS failure. After the light comes on, after initial failure to stop, then it works fine until it sits for several hours and repeats it again. This is very scary situation and now considering our daughter, 16, is driving too makes it even more of a huge concern.

Abs valve block failed . Am reporting this failure since it is the second ABS brake failure of two gm automobiles we currently own. Our 1992 chevy caprice wagon ABS system failed when it had 49,978 miles on it. Now the 1995 buick, which has 55700 miles on it has also experienced an ABS brake failure. We can understand an isolated failure. But having two general motors automobiles and both cars experiencing ABS brake failures lead us to believe that general motors has a problem with ABS systems throughout its various fleets. Request your offices reseaarch this potential problem with the intention of having a recall of all cars so affected if necessary. The two ABS failures total more than $2200.00 in repairs.

Brakes would make a grinding noise when starting out slowly. Took to dealer & could not find anything wrong. *ak dealer took brakes apart twice and could not find any problems, consumer feels problem could be related to ABS.
