I have recently taken this vehicle into two different chevy dealers and twice was told there is nothing wrong with it.while driving at speeds under 40mph or so when braking to stop or slow for a turn, the brake pedal ratchets down to the floor and the ABS light comes on.I'm afraid to drive this car because of the pedal going to the floor.while the car was at one dealer,they called to tell me there is nothing wrong with itand that I could disconnect them if I wanted,now if there is nothing wrong why would I do that.I called the chevy#1‑800‑222‑1020 and was told that my VIN# wasn't part of the recall and to take it to an independent to see if they can fix it.all I want is the car fixed so its safe ,I've tried twice at gm dealers and wasted money.help!!!
Abs computer/valve system defective. Brakes "chatter" on application, occasionally have a wheel lockup when braking. Flushed fluid system, no mechanical problem, good pads, no fluid leak, vacuum booster ok. Dealer cannot find problem, doesn't really want to change out computer/valve system. Is there a recall on this system?
Abs system light is on and won't go off. Dealer can't determine the cause of the problem.
Vehicle was parked in garage, and garage was filled with smoke. Wires in the vehicle caught on fire due to ABS computer failure.
When brakes are applied the pedal went to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance . The ABS light is constantly on. Dealer has been notified.
