I have a 1996 beretta z26 3.1l v6 and every morning when I get up and go to work my back brakes locked up on me untill I get them warmed up. And my ABS light stays on in this car all the times.also sometimes when I hit my brakes I dont have any brakes the first time then I hit them again and they work I have recently had both front and back brakes replaced and this didnt fix the problem this is a common problem I found out by surfing and investigating on the web.

This has been an ongoing problem since I purchased the vechicle. I took the car back to the dealer and was ttold they "lubed the rotors". The ABS light has been coming on and off recently. Today I went to stop and the brakes kept going I had to put on the emergency brake.

Chevrolet has also replaced my left front mount assemblywith the front strut bearing twice. The problem has not been fixed and they seem to not know what the persistant problem is.
