Oil comsumption, abs light want go off. Stableizer track light want go off and the dashboard light warning with the car and the wiggle lines wnat go off. Now my dashborad brake light is on. Every time I start the car up all these lights come on and I am afraid to drive it. I have had it coded but nothing comes up. And my ignition is starting to slip when I crank it . It does not matter if I am moving or not the lights still stay on.
Brake warning light came on while I was driving. I went directly to chevy dealer. They found that the brake fluid reservoir was empty as the rubber seal into the break master cylinder had failed. The dealer had to replace the master cylinder and the booster and flush the brake system at a cost of $1,210. 92. I discovered that this exact same problem had lead to recalls in 2010 of Toyota avalons and highlanders. Also Nissan in 2009 recalled sentras for same reason. My chevy service manager confirmed that my brake system failure was the same cause. I have contacted Chevrolet headquarters and they refuse to discuss the matter with me and refuse to give me any information on their experience of this brake system failure. Can you help me?why is there no gm recall ?.
Brake master cylinder rear seal failed and fluid completely filled the brake booster causing the brakes to apply. The brakes would not release causing the vehicle to stop in the traffic lane without any warning (brake lights) to the vehicles behind almost causing a rear end collision.
