| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The antilock brakes on my chevrolet s-10 pick-up fails while trying to stop in bumper to bumper traffic of between 15 to 20 miles an hour fortunately i ran into the back of a full size chevrolet truck and there were no injuries, only damage to the vehicles. prior to this incident for about a month the brakes would pulsate after driving a a while and stopping at low speed or during light pedal pressure. the brakes were check for warped or defective rotors and possible worn pad. the rotors and pads were found to be ok and so were the rotors which are smooth. the brake pads and rotors are the factory originals and the vehicle has under 36,000 miles. the truck is use as an occasional local commute vehicle and for pleasure, and not for work, or to carry heavy loads. after i found two 020525006a and 02052500 which describes the problem of low speed abs activation. i think this is a very serious issues that people should be made aware of. just as i couldn't stop and i hit a truck, i could easily have hit a person or a child that may have ran into the street chasing a ball. this accident happened just two blocks from my home. i think is negligent that car companies are not made to report to consumers such serious life safety issues, which can cause the lost of life for both drivers and pedestrians, which could be any of us or any of our relatives. when i got home and realized the implication of consumers not being notified of such bulletins i felt sick to my stomach. i hope that general motors is made to bear the responsibility of not only informing consumers of such a vital safety equipment failure, but also for paying for the repairs of something which could have been corrected while my vehicle was still under warranty. *tr |
