1 Air Brake Antilock problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2003

Subject: complaint: (abs product failure -- anti-locked brake system) on 2001 chevy suburban - purchased on may, 2003, tomas anguiano jr. Message e-mailed sales@smithchevrolet. Com my husband and I purchased a 2001 chevy suburban from smith Chevrolet about eight months (may 22, 2003). I am also aware that the brake booster were worked before we purchased this car. My husband and I were involved in a car accident on December 14, 2003. He was making a left turn on a two-turning lane, when abruptly the person on the second turning decided that she was going to crossed onto our turning lane abruptly. My husband acted fast and made a quick brake stop but his anti-lock brakes wheels locked. The car would not stop but was heading towards the direction of a concrete column underneath the bridge located at starlight terrace. He tried to turn the wheels to the opposite direction, but it wouldn't turn because the anti-lock brake system locked on his car. There was one long stretch of skit marks on the street right-of-way. The police officer wanted to know what lane we were turning from when I told him that you could tell just by looking at the skit mark on the street. I was told that there should have not been any skit marks on the street especially when one has anti-lock brake system. Allstate tookk possession of the car this past week.
