What owners say
Steering wheel made clicking sound when trying to turn wheel became hard to steer as if no power steering and air bag light came on. Turned out to be the air bag coil - which had an exposed circuit. Noticed many technical service bulletins of this nature about the clicking in the steering wheel. Do not know if air bag was involved with the techinical service bulletins or other complaints. Could have been a very serious incedent if this occurred while driving the vehicle. So happens that it occurred while pulling out of a parking space at a chevrolet dealership after just having the ABS system repaired.
When applying brakes heard a tapping sound. Dealer did not now what the sound was. Later realized it was a cracked solenoid sensor ring. Dealer said that meant that ABS system could shut down.

The ABS braking system malfunctioned, causing the ABS light to come on which indicates a problem with the braking system which causes extended stopping distance and may result in a crash. Please provide further information.
When ever applying the brakes vehicle failed to stop, resulting in extended stopping distance. Also, brake pedal went all the way to floor, and vehicle slid. Took vehicle to an independent mechanic & who informed consumer that problem wa the ABS braking system. Was nothing mechanical. Has not taken vehicle to dealer as of yet.
When brakes are applied there is extended stopping distance. Vehicle was checked by dealership at 5000. 10,000, and 15,000 miles for brakes, dealership said there was nothing unusual, it's just the way ABS works.
Shoulder belts work intermittently, sometimes do not stay, housing sometimes comes off. Dealer not aware of the problem. No warranty. Also, ABS brakes do not stop properly when pedal applied. In addition, integrated child seats are not able to function safely. Consumer concerns are with children. While travelling in vehicle doors open/close randomly, posing a safety hazard. Problems still exists. Provide further information.
1- every time the weather is wet and cold, all 4 doors freeze shut. This is due to the design of the body. The doors allow water to collect all around the top and vertical sides and the water freezes...locking me out of the car. Neither the dealer nor mfg have a solution. 2- brakes: every time the weather is wet, or even with high humidity the brakes squeal and grab which initiates the ABS system which in turn brings the car to a "jerky motion" stopping situation. Neither the dealer nor the mfg have a solution....and even more frustrating to me...neither the dealer nor the mfg seem to "give a [xxx]". Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Owner has ABS brakes, vehicle experiences extended stopping distance when brakes are applied. Pedal also goes to floor of vehicle. Dealer found no problem.
While consumer was driving ABS brakes/master cylinder failed, pedal went to the floor. Had a hard time stopping.
