In december 2001 the brake system totally failed for an instant in heavy traffic very nearly causing a rear end collision. Again on feb 6, 2002 the same thing occurred, again in heavy traffic. I will present the vehicle to a chevrolet dealer in hopes of having it fixed.
During wet conditions, when attempting to stop ABS brakes lock up, and vehicle will slide to a stop. Dealership has replaced a sensor in ABS; however, this has not corrected the problem. *ak
