| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Anti-lock system defective in strategy of operations. seems designed for icy roads and activates under the lightest of braking applications on front wheels with 1-2 second recovery time (without brakes) with only slight pedal & slight wheel bounce. this happens with 1-2 passengers & about 75-100 pounds in truck ped (bed cover) on dry streets approaching intersection with ripples or potholes on one side with very light slow (grandpa style driving) light braking- front wheel senses the slightest lockup & deactivates brakes (1-2 second recovery time) & then reapplies. this has resulted in multiple times of leaving me in intersection with vehicles skidding to stop to keep from t-boning my vehicle. have complained to dealership management, gm district field rep who tell me this stratedgy is normal. this stratedgy will get people killed if it hasn't already.they told me there is nothing they can do. this report is being made to hopefully force something to be done. i could do better job of preventing brake lock up using ancient mode of stab breaking if necessary but wouldn't need to under descibed scenario.*ak |
