Dt: the contact stated the ABS activated at low speeds. The mechanic bled the brakes and replaced the brake pads. The ABS activated while driving around a curve at less than 5 MPH. The roads were icy, and the vehicle was in 4-wheel drive. The brakes locked, but the vehicle kept moving until it crashed into another vehicle that was parked. The ABS had been activated at low speeds six months before the accident. The ABS activation was intermittent, and many times the brakes were difficult to depress. The vehicle is currently at a different mechanic shop, which determined that the problem may be with the ABS sensors. *ak updated 1/11/2006 - the vehicle was taken to the service dealer who determined that the ABS sensors were corroded. The dealer cleaned the sensors and sprayed the with an anti-corrosion spray. The consumer has filed a complaint with the manufacturer.

The ABS/hydraulic system has again gone out on my vehicle. After my first complaint 5 years ago, I had the anti-lock braking sensor replaced--unfortunately it was prior to gm's current technical service bulletin when the vehicle would have still be under warranty. Now, I am experiencing the same problems. I feel that gm has opted to make a temporary less expensive and quick fix rather than offering their customers a permanent and safe solution to this problem.

Right rear brake fell apart for no apparent reason. The service manager said he has seen it happen before like when water or a rock gets into the brake. Right now it's leaking gas due to a faulty service repair and the has "refused" to fix it and gm says we have to pay another dealer to fix it correctly.
