| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: For several months i had noticed that the abs would occasionally engage at low speeds on dry pavement, resulting in increased pedal travel and increased stopping distances. then on december 15, as i left the house and had driven about 100 yards, i heard a grinding sound coming from the abs unit next to the transfer case, and the noise stopped when i pulled the abs fuse. i called o'brien chevrolet, and the earliest they could look at it was december 20. they looked at it, and told me that the abs unit had developed an internal short, and would have to be replaced, costing about $1200.00. i was shocked! this truck is in like-new condition, with only 37,200 miles, and its always been kept in a garage or a carport. i can't believe that 37,200 miles is a normal service life of a general motors abs unit before they develop shorts and have to be replaced. *jb |
