SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE ABS FREQUENCY IS EXTREMELY LOW MAKING THE BRAKES COMPLETELY UN-EFFICIENT WHEN OPERATING (MAINLY WINTER TIME). LATELY THE ABS COMES ON DURING THE FINAL BREAKING, DISABLING THE BREAK FOR ~0.5 SEC AND ACCELERATING THE ENGINE, GIVING A FINAL KICK ~ 0.5 - 1M INSTEAD OF FINAL STOP. I WANT THIS ABS DISABLED FOR GOOD, IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, MAINLY IN CITY DRIVING. THANKS, ADRIAN

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
WE HAVE HAD CONSISTANT PROBLEMS WITH OUR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WILL SEEM TO ACTIVATE AND GIVE OUT, LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES FOR A FEW MOMENTS. AND THE ANTI-LOCK BREAK LIGHT INSIDE THE CAR WILL COME ON AT VARIOUS TIMES AND STAY ON, EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TONY CHEVEROLET AND OTHER REPAIR SHOPS AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL CONSIST. WE WERE WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM COULD BE RELATED TO THE RECENT RECALL OF THE CHRYSLER BENDIX 10 ABS? WOULD OUR BRAKES BE SIMILAR OR THE SAME MODEL AS THE ONES BEING RECALLED? AND HAS GENERAL MOTORS HAD COMPLAINTS WITH THESE MAKES AND MODELS? WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS SYSTEM SINCE WE'VE FIRST OWNED THE VAN.

I AM REPORTING THIS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT ATTEMPTS TO GET INFORMATION FROM GM OR ITS LOCAL DEALERS HAS FALLEN UPON DEAF EARS! THE COMPANY LINE IF YOU IN THE RECALL, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IN WRITING! IF MY CAR CRASHES TODAY, THAT WON'T DO ME MUCH GOOD. THE ABS BRAKES ON THIS VAN HAVE NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. STOPPING DISTANCES ARE VERY LONG! I HAVE ALWAYS SUSPECTED BUT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THE BRAKES ARE FINE. I WAS TOLD THE SAME TODAY. I AM GOING BACK TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND THEY CLAIM, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR, SINCE I DON'T HAVE A NOTICE OF RECALL. MY LIFE, MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE WORTH THAT TO ME. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T BUY A NEW CAR! THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECENT E-MAIL. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY FRUSTRATION. YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE INVOLVED
