What owners say
While driving ABS braking system locks, especially on wet pavement, causing extended stopping distance. Dealership is aware of problem.
While driving would step on brakes pedal and brakes would not lock. Will let go, then grip again, and would feel pedal pulsating. Received recall 99v193000 notice on ABS brakes. Please provide more information.
Recall 99v193000/ ABS brakes. After vehicle was repaired under recall problem became worse. Manufacturer has been notified and refuses to fix the problem, they installed a defective electronic control unit.*ak
Consumer was exiting onto freeway & applied brakes, ABS kicked in & the hydraulic motor started making noise. It sounded like it was applying & releasing. Consumer pressed brake pedal to the floor & it wouldn't stop. This resulted in a low speed rearend collision. Consumer received recall 99v193000 dealing with the same issue. But was told that warranty had expired . Also, manufacturer assumed no responsibility because of age of vehicle. They did not encourage consumer to drive vehicle until repairs were done.
Abs system locked up causing the vehicle to skid and over turn on snow covered road. Yh
The ABS braking system malfunctioned, causing extended stopping distance which may result in a crash. Please provide further information.
Vehicle rolled into intersection ABS brakes being applied -- it eventually stopped. Took to dealer (smith chv, turlock) -- he replaced shoes and said hydraulics and sensors were fine. Shoes still had some life on them. Vehicle stopped better, but still acted as if braking was intermittent. Took vehicle to american chv (modesto) -- found faulty front left ABS component and replaced. I want to note the first dealer was adament that there was no braking problem with the car, making me believe that an ABS failure is very hard to detect.
When applying brakes, brake pedal is very stiff and brake fluid will not come through. Abs light comes on. Owner has to use emergency brakes to stop. Dealer has vehicle right now for the 4th time.
Ongoing problem with ABS failing to stop in an emergency stopping situation and also unde r normal conditions. Manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that there are no reported problems at this time.
I have owned this vehicle since new and my big complaint has been the ABS breaks just arn't sufficent, they have been kept up to speck and just seem to fade and the stopping distance is just entirely too long, and I hate to let some one drive it as they can not get used to the stopping distance
Abs system failed.
