1994 Chevrolet Camaro brakes problems

Filed Feb 17, 2016 · Brakes · 77,000 miles · MO

I have a chevrolet camaro z28 1994, quite often the ABS inoperable light comes on, meaning the ABS or antilock braking system in which the severity of the ABS operating is crucial to preventing accidents. It happens while driving, at any given speed and it terrifies me when I see it. I am unaware of what because of the antilock braking system failure is. I also owned a pontiac firebird 1997 that had the exact same issue, moreover these two cars are basically the same except for the body. This is a gm problem in lieu of both cars being made by gm. I have not been informed of any recall nor have I seen this issue on any recall list, antilock braking systems have become standard on all vehicles due to the effectiveness of preventing accidents and I have also read many comments from other owners of this vehicle with the same issue. I strongly urge you to please take this into careful consideration moreover investigation. Thank you so much for this website where consumers are able to voice these defects that automotive manufacturers sweep under the rug. I look forward to hearing back from you and thank you once again.

When it's been raining the brakes don't function very well! I have literally stood on the brake pedal and had trouble stopping the car! The tires aren't locking up, so it's not an ABS problem! I know of several others who have all had the same problems! A lot of these people have replaced the entire front braking system with either an aftermarket system or by using the front brake system off of the 1998 and newer camaro. All have been very please with the results! For what it's worth the brakes don't work that well when there isn't any rain! I know at least one person I can think of that has totaled his car in the rain cause the brakes didn't want to stop the car, and I have come very close my self! It's really scarry to push the brakes and not stop! This problem seems to be on 1993-1997 models.

I want it recalled and repaired; the dealer told me it would cost $800. The manufacturer installed and sold this safety product that does not perform.( dot number: )
