| Air Brake problems |
The traction control system lights come on during wet weather and or turning. The anti-locks brakes fail to work unless pressed completely down. No accidents have occured at this time, but a few close calls. The car is being returned to a gm dealer to inspect and report the problem. The brakes have always had a spongy feeling since date of purchase and since the brake recall was adjusted. I would hope that this problem can be investigated before there is a fatal incident since the anti-lock brakes become very non-responsive when the traction control system fails.
Receieved recall letter stating the brake clip could have been bent when installed and could acause pushrod to seperate from brake pedal and cause a crash. Caller is concerned about driving this vehicle until problem is fixed.
