I'd be driving down the street when my brakes would apply by them selves slowing my car down. after that my dash would bong and the ABS light would come on. I took it to my Chevy dealer and they replaced the brakes and said it was fixed. I pulled out of the dealers lot and was driving at 35MPH when the brakes locked and a skidded to a stop. If I hadn;t been buckled in I would have gone thru the windshield. I held the gas pedal to the floor and returnd to the dealer at about 20 MPH and some salesman came running out and said my van was on fire.I got out of my van but I didn't see any fire but there was heavy smoke coming from around the brakes. THE cHEVY DEALER HAD MY VAN APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AND SAID THEY REPAIRED IT TWICE MORE, bUT EVERYTIME i PICKED IT UP THE BRAKES WOULD GO ON A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY AND i WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK. I have been driving the car because the chevy dealer says they can't get the ABS Module to fix it and I can't drive more than a mile or so from home because the brakes apply themselves and I'm afraid the car will break down or catch on fire. I need a safe car to drive and the chevy dealer says they can't fix it because they can't get the part.

I'd be driving down the street and the brakes would start applying themselves by themselves. I took the van to Ganly Chevrolet the first time and they did a brake job and said it was fixed. I drove it about a half mile and was doing about 35MPH when the brakes locked, if I wasn't buckled in I probably would have gone through the window. I immediately took it back by putting the gas pedal to the floor. you could smell and see the brakes burning. later Ganly said I needed a Brake Module and kept the car After about 6months of having my Van. they finally admitted they couldn't get a Brake Module and they had been on back order for about a year and didn't know if they would ever get one Later they called me and said they found a loose wire and my van was fixed again. I picked the Van up again and while driving home the brakes started stopping me again and my dash board started boinging and my ABS light came on. To this day if I drive it more than a mile my brakes grab, my dash starts boinging, my van shakes and my ABS light comes on and I must atep on the gas to get where I have to go and all this has happened since I paid Ganly Chevrolet approximately $2500 for fixing my Van this started in July of 3021 and is still going on.
