| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Abs brakes problems on my 1997 chevy tahoe 4dr 4-wheel drive. the brakes have been terrible since i obtained this vehicle when it was brand new. they would grunt & groan, skip and act erratic. on ice and snow, i would actually go faster when i would apply the brakes and slide much faster than a car with regular brakes. on dry roads at slow speeds in town driving, the brakes didn't seem to take hold all the time. there would be a delay action when applying the brakes. i almost rear-ended other vehicles three times, through no fault of my own. i hate abs brakes and would like to buy one without it. abs brakes systems are very dangerous, especially on this 1997 chev tahoe 4-wheel drive. i checked with mechanics and they all say that's just abs brakes, and i have to put up with it. this is wrong as they are a very real danger. i have to be extremely careful allowing substantial distance between vehicles and then its not safe. i think i have a lemon and know there are lots of other complaints about it around here. how about a little help with recalls and a new vehicle?*jb |
