16 problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Camaro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The right rear tire blew out, it is in two completely different peices, on a major highway. I could have easily lost control of the vehicle and been in a major accident. I have also had to have the tires plugged twice already since I purchased the vehicle. The brakes have been squeaking for almost three months and when reported to dealer they did nothing to fix it. They have also caused skidding when roads are wet and do not feel as if they are properly locking. ( dot number: tire size: p235/55r16 ).
When applying the brakes car goes from side to side. Dealer has repaired the vehicle five times, yet the same defect still occurs.
Front brake rotors are warping prematurely, need resurfacing for the second time. Dealer contacted and states normal wear and tear on the brakes. Provide further information.
Front brake rotors are warped, and have been since the car was new. Dealer "cleans" them each time I bring in the car. Many people have reported this problem. There should be a recall for these defective rotors.
Rotors on front of vehicle warped to the point that control of vehicle difficult. Gm authorized resurfacing only and defective rotors were left on car. At 16,000 rotors warped again to the point that I felt vehicle was unsafe. Gm replaced rotors with oem rotors and at 20,000 the rotors have again warped to the point of being annoying. Seems to be a problem with the material composing the rotors, and not from driving style.

When the brakes were applied they pulled and squeaked the dealer had to replace them twice.
Rotors warped at 6k miles; dealer refinished same. Repair lasted roughly 6k miles before problem returned. At highway speeds (60mph +) if brakes are applied front wheels shake severely, causing loss of control. In a panic situation, I don't think the car would be controllable. Dealer solution is to resurface rotors a second time and replace if problem returns. This appears to be a widespread problem with Camaros, and I fail to see how replacing rotors with the same part will solve the problem. This is a high performance vehicle capable of 150mph + speeds, and should have a braking system to match.
Excessive wear of front rotors due to warping. Two sets of rotors had to be replaced within 3,000 miles of wear. Dealer notified.
While depressing brakes, no hard shaking in steering wheel. Dealer has been contacted. Stated normal wear. Please provide further information.
When car is being driven in wet conditions and the brakes are applied, the car shakes violently, to the point of loosing control of the car. The dealer says it is the anti-lock brakes and this is normal.
When applying the brakes the vehicle did a 180 degree spin and hit a pole due to the abs kicking in. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
No summary listed for this vehicle. ( dot number: tire size: 245/50/z16 ).
While driving 60 mph and changing lanes brakes were applied suddenly while turning the wheel to avoid a collision, the abs locked up, causing the vehicle to spin, resulting in a rollover.
When abs brakes are applied front end shimmies. Problem occurs in rainy conditions. Rotors have been replaced, but problem remains.
