AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS DEFECT I AM APPALLED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I NORMALLY DO WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WERE NO BRAKES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER (THEY DID A TEST AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THEM, THE VEHICLE NOT STOPPING UNTIL 30-35 FEET AFTER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED) THAT THE ABS SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO GM. UNBELIEVABLE! *AK

WHILE MAKING A SUDDEN STOP BY DEPRESSING BRAKES VEHICLE WOULD EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATON. *AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLS IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. NO WARNINGS, IT JUST QUITS. DEALER PUT ON A NEW FUEL PUMP, CONSUMER THINKS ITS THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL PUMP, AND FEELS IT IS UNSAFE FOR VEHICLE TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY FREEWAY. *AK

THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING QUITS/DIES/SHUTS OFF THEREBY CAUSING THE LOSE OF STEERING AND BRAKING. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF AUTHORIZED CHEVY DEALR JIM STUTZMAN CHEVROLET IN WINCHESTER VIRGINIA SINCE OCTOBER OF 1999. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE HAD THEIR MECHANIC TEST DRIVE IT AND HE HAS EXPERIANCED THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER "IT" SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THEM THAT I NEVER SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A CHEVY DIESEL AND "WHAT DO I WANT TO DO HOW MUCH MONEY DO I WANT TO SPEND AND THEY WILL JUST START CHANGE OUT PARTS " I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. I SPENT $350 DOLLARS JUST LAST WEEK HAVING A PART CHANGED THAT THEY "THOUGHT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM " THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT HAPPENED 2 HOURS AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ON MY WAY HOME. THIS VEHICLE WEIGHS ALMOST 4000LBS. I HAVWE BEEN VERY LUCKY SO FAR. WHAT WILL AHPPEN TO ME WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME AND IT DIES? OR LIKE THE FIRST TIME WHEN I WAS ON A CURVEY MOUNTAINOUS ROAD AND IT DIED AND I ENDED UP IN A FIELD AND HAD TO BY SOD FOR THE LADY WHOSE LAWN I ENDED UP IN. WHAT IF HER CHILDREN HAD BEEN PLAYING IN THE YARD OR I WAS APPROCHING A SCHOOLCROSSING? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN WRECKS AND INJURIED OR KILLED AND THEY WEREN'T LUCKY ENOUGHT TO SURVIVE THE FIRST INCIDENT? PLEASE HELP ME RESLOVE THE MANUFACTORERS DEFECT BEFORE IT KILLS ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I AM NOT ABLE TO TRADE IT IN OR BY A NEWONE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECAUSE OF A DEFECT LIKE THIS . THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *AK

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING ON DRY CONDITIONS AND TRVELING 10MPH. WHILE TURNING CONSUMER FOUND OUT HE HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WHEN HE APPLIED BRAKES, VEHICLE RAN INTO A TREE. NO ONE WAS HURT. DEALER NOT CONTACTED. *AK

TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 30 MPH ON DRY PAVEMENT THE ABS FAILED ,RESULTING IN A CRASH. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HEPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE, RESULTING IN 2 CRASHES. *AK

IN DRY ROAD CONDITIONS ON I-5 NORTHBOUND WE NOTICED THAT TRAFFIC WAS STOPPING AHEAD OF US AND APPLIED BRAKES. WE HAD ALREADY SLOWED TO APPROX 50MPH BEFORE BRAKING . THE VEHICLE NOSE DIPPED AS WE SLOWED TO STOP, THEN THE ANTI LOCK MECH RELEASED THE BASE BRAKES AND WE WERE THROWN UPRIGHT AS WE CONTINUED FORWARD INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF US AFTER A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE DURING WHICH TIME WE WERE AWARE THAT WE WERE NOT BEING SLOWED BY THE ANTI- LOCK SYSTEM. WE HAD NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES HAD AN UNUSUAL STOPPING DISTANCE IN THE PAST, BUT BELIEVED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AS WE WERE TOLD BY OUR DEALER. THE BRAKES HAD RECENTLY BEEN SERVICED IN DECEMBER. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT WE SHOULD HAVE HAD AMPLE DISTANCE FOR ANY PROPERLY WORKING BRAKE SYSTEM TO STOP US IN TIME. *AK
