Driver was going up hill on gravel road and shifted into 3rd gear , driver heard engine rev high. Let foot off the accelrator and vehicle did not stop. Applied brakes ,rear wheel still spinning, causing driver to lose control of vehicle, and roll over 2-3 times. Please provide further information.
When applying brakes on small bumps in the road or uneven surface, the ABS will engage, causing the pedal to drop and a decrease in stopping ability results.
Failure is not permanent. Abs causes brakes to shut off for about 1 second on one or more wheels, causing vehicle to either suddenly swerve to one side, possibly entering oncoming traffic, or extends stopping distance so vehicle rolls into intersection. Initiated by sharp bumps , particularly potholes. Not consistent, hard to reproduce if attempting to. Several other owners have confirmed to me that they also have seen this. No accident yet, three near accidents, including swerve in to opposite traffic lane (no oncoming traffic just then). Unpredictable and tricky problem, hits when you are not expecting it.
While going down hill and applying the brakes the rear wheels locked up causing the truck to fishtail and resulting in an accident, it was a dry clear day. Nlm
Whenever vehicle rolls over uneven pavement and while applying brakes, ABS system is triggered and will begin to pull vehicle to the side of the tire that hit the bump. A chevrolet dealer has been contacted.
