I had problems with ABS systemfrom the begining.I had a brake caliper hanging up(drivers side) and continually had premature pad burnout and moments when there was no brakes at all.it was repaired three times.I complained to chevrolet in 1994 about the problems.case # 960151709,I was told,brake pads are not covered.I tld them the problem was more than brake pads,that something was wrong with the system.they ignored the problem. In 1997, while my sister and I were driving,I experienced total brake failure and the vehicle caught fire.we were fortunate not to be on the highway at the time!allstate insurance paid me for the vehicle,but by the time the loan was paid,I was left with nothing!I feel chevrolet should compensate me for my loss and fortunately, no one was injured or killed.
Abs system has 1/2 second to 1 second delay before deployment.
Continued problems with stopping vehicle, skidding etc brakes don't stop the car. Had some close calls. I understand this is a common problem. Is something being considered yet? If not a recall should be done. .
