ABS BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT ON. INSPECTION FAILED. SAID IT WAS A "SAFETY ISSUE" NO RECALL THOUGH. 1800.00 REPAIR PARTS AND LABOR. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THEN WHY ISN'T THE PART RECALLED ? ONLINE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WE HAVE HAD OUR BRAKE SYSTEM LOOKED AT AND IT IS FINE AND SAFE, EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT IS ON. ON THE CHEVY ASTRO RECALL PAGES IT EVEN STATES AND I QOUTE " THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROL UNIT MAY FAIL INTERNALLY CAUSING THE ABS WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE." THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE, IT'S A PARTS ISSUE, THE PART IS GLUED TOGETHER MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO FIX. THIS IS OBSOLESCENCE , "MAKE IT TO BREAK" MENTALITY. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON VACATI

I WAS A PASSENGER IN MY OWN VEHICLE AND WE WERE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT EAST BOUND. ANOTHER CAR CAME OUT INFRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND AS WE APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION WE STRUCK THE OTHER VEHICLE AS THERE WAS NO OTHER CHOICE. I WAS BADLY INJURED BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I WAS BELTED IN BUT MY WHOLE LEFT SIDE STILL HIT THE DASH AND HEAD BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS SAID I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AS BADLY INJURED IF THE BAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. WE WEREN'T CITED BUT THE OTHER DRIVER WAS. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS BUT THEY ARE FAILING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT. THEY SAID IT WAS MY RESPONSIBLY TO KEEP TRACK OF THE VEHICLE AFTER MY INSURANCE TOTALED IT OUT. I HAV

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRACKETS (CLOVIS PINS) SWING OUT FROM THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THE CLOVIS PINS ARE ABRADING THE CYLINDER AND CAUSING A FUEL LEAK. THE FAILURE WAS DISCOVERED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS INSPECTING OTHER VEHICLES. THE DEFECT DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF HIS INVESTIGATION PROCESS. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND PURCHASE DATE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 25,000.

I HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES INVOLVING FAILURE OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. OUR MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY FAULT WITH ABS SENSORS WHEN TESTING THEM. THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY IN WET/SLIPPERY CONDITIONS , BUT AT VERY LOW SPEED ON DRY PAVEMENT THE ABS WOULD PREVENT THE VAN FROM STOPPING . THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOISILY GO DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED MOVING. I ALMOST RAMMED THE BACK OF A NEW CADILLAC AT A DRIVE-THROUGH FAST-FOOD PLACE. FINALLY, AFTER REPLACING THE WHEEL BEARING, (AND ASSOCIATED ABS SENSOR, ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THE PROBLEM STOPPED. GMC SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ABS PROBLEMS AS THEY SEEM TO BE WIDESPREAD. *AK
