Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2001 chevy astro -- does not stop when brakes are applied. just keeps "sliding". only way to fix is to remove the fuse for the abs brakes. if fuse is in, when brakes are applied, the vehicle shutters and growls and just continues to slide and the vehicle does not stop. this happens when you are traveling at slow speeds such as coming to a stop or pulling into parking spaces. ---very dangerous--thank god husband is a mechanic and realized that taking the fuse out would stop this problem, but causes it so that there is no abs. *nm
