THE "AUTO APPLY" BRAKE SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES ISA DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE BRAKE IS HELD OFF BY HYDRAULIC PRESSURE AND WHEN PRESSURE IS LOST THE BRAKE LOCKS UP. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR CHEVROLET SERVICE REPLACED THE HYDRO PUMP MOTOR,THE PRESSURE SWITH AND THE SYSTEM HAS SINCE LOCKED UP. SEARCHING THE 'NET AT DIFFERENT FORUMS REVELS MANY INCIDENTS WITH THIS SYSTEM. CANNOT FIND ANYONE IN CHEVROLET'S TECH SUPPORT THAT REALLY KNOWS THE SYSTEM WELL ENOUGH TO STATE A REAL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. IMAGINE HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65-70 AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKES LOCK UP WITHOUT WARNING. THE SYSTEM SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE REMOVED FROM THESE VEHICLES BY CHEVEROLET AND REPLACED WITH A MECHANICAL PARK
