When driving at 55 MPH, ABS valve went out and needed replaced.
Concerning airconditioning system: the A/C was innoperative when I purchased the vehicle and had to be serviced before it was released to my ownership. For each autmn season since I have owned the vehicle, the A/C has failed after the first hard freeze for our area. It has been my suspicion that an o-ring or seal has been defective. This past may when I took it in for A/C service because it would not cool, I had to pay out-of-pocket for the service since the vehicle was off warranty. My complaint is that gm/chevrolet appears to provide defective seals/o-rings/valves for aftermarket repairs. The dealership reported that "chevrolet airconditioners always leak and coolant refill is expected". Ha! My second compalaint about this vehicle is its braking system/service. The dealership turned the rotors on this vehicle at 21000 miles. I find that odd because I don't drive in stop/go conditions for the majority of my travels (I live in very rural area). Since that servicing my brakes have pulsed under normal braking condidtions, yet the dealer assures my that it is just the ABS. ??? Not likely. If so, it is abnormal in my opinion.
