Anti-lock brakes activate during normal stop and go driving. This has resulted in numerous near collisions. Defect reported to gm customer service representative on 5-24-05.
Anti-lock braking modulator valve and module needs to be replaced. Anti-lock brakes are not functioning.
After braking to stop vehicle hesitates. Also, there is increased braking distance when braking. Took vehicle to dealer dealer 6 times, and was told brake line was too close to left exhaust pipe, heated brake fluid. Dealer computer was conveniently down last 3 times. So those visits wer not documented. The dealer believes the brake line was not the problem.
