What owners say
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.
When the brakes were applied, the ABS light illuminated on the dashboard.
I purchased a 95 barrette. I did not start having problems until 2000. It was a brake related problem. My brakes would lock up and the ABS light would come on. I had no idea what the problem was but knew I had to have it fixed before it caused a accident from brake lock up during hard braking. I ultimately bought a cd version of a auto repair manual. Popular mechanics repair software. Still no answers until I went to the tsb and safety recall portion. I was shocked to find my problem in there. It was how the wiring was routed it and would rub on the gas line and wear the wires down to cause a short in respect cause the ABS system to shut down and not operate. I also found a safety recall notice on mine. Below list the recalls bulletins for 1995 chevrolet beretta v6-3100 3.1l VIN m sfi safety recalls tsb number issue date tsb title 95c03 sep 94 recall - support panel omitted from rocker panel general recalls tsb number issue date tsb title 95c08 oct 94 campaign - a/t defective 2nd clutch reaction plate 410103 sep 94 campaign - product bulletin numbering system I am also having problems involving the engine that involves the service bulletins. I am outraged because of 2 reasons. I paid a lot of hard earned money for a vehicle with the faith that the manufacturer would stand behind their product.. Well I called them to find out what I could do to have these problems corrected. They told me there is nothing they can do..it was my problem. Needless to say I am one very upset customer. I need to know who I can contact about this and write to. This is not right. I never got a recall notice on my car about any of the involved problems. So now I find out my car could be a death trap. From what I have read on the internet the rocker panel involves side impacts and could cause someone serious injury for whoever is driving this type of car. Ts
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.
Per my mechanic, there was a problem and supposedly a recall regarding the emergency brake cable cutting the wiring harness for the rear ABS brake system.. I never received anything on this, and I was wondering if I submit the bill to someone at chevrolet, if I can get reimbursed.
