Description of the problem | When slowing down and coming to a stop the abs brakes kick in making it take longer than normal to stop. It started happening a couple of weeks ago pulling into my driveway and it is getting worse. It happens at slow or as i am slowing down to come to a stop, then the abs kicks in and increases the stopping distance. That normal stopping distance you think you have under normal conditions is not there. This problem is in perfectly dry conditions. It is not weather related at all. I have had to stand on the brakes to stop. It's been somewhat intermittent but it almost caused me to get into an accident today. Turning while stopping usually causes the issue to happen the most, that's what happened today. Coming to a straight stop doesn't always cause the issue. Apparently there was this same issue with the 1999 - 2002 chevy trucks and they were recalled. Apparently chevy has not fixed the issue so we are seeing it again, i wonder how many people have to get into accidents or die before something is done about this issue. Is there a death toll we need to hit? I've googled this issue and a lot of people are having this problem. I suspect that because few have been killed as this is happening at lower speeds only insurance issues have arisen and the consumers wind up paying for those in the end. One would hate to dip into chevy's year end bonus money. |
