problem #10

: the contact stated while driving on normal road conditions at low speeds, and under normal braking conditions, the anti-lock brakes failed to stop the vehicle. The ABS activated, causing extended stopping distance. After the first incident the dealer replaced the rotors. The second time the dealership put brake pads on the rear, cleaned the sensors, and resurfaced the front and rear rotors. However, the problem recurred. The right rear window regulator was replaced. Updated 02/07/06.

The contact stated when applying pressure to the brakes they made a grinding noise. The service dealership said the rear rotors rusted, and the frontal rotors wore out. They replaced the rear brake shoes, pads, and rotors. Also, the front rotors and pads were replaced. When contacting a Chevrolet dealership they said it was due to normal wear and tear.

Anti lock brakes; when going slower the anti lock brakes engage themselves. Was never repaired. Main brakes, both front and rear were replaced ( pads and rotors) after an unusually short amount of time. Left door glass was inoperative. Tech replaced broken door glass regulator.
