Table 1 shows two common service brakes related problems of the 1997 Chevrolet Express.
| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Brake Master Cylinder problems | |
| Abs Brake Fail problems |
Consumer stated vehicle will not make a short panic stop at low speeds, extreme pedal pressure has little effect as the vehicle approaches 15 to 10 mph and slower, consumer stated the abs control is suppose to drop off and permit the brakes to stop the vehicle without limitation, consumer was informed by dealer he should allow for greater stopping distance with abs and that the problem could not be duplicated, also consumer discovered brake fluid under the master cylinder, the dealer replaced the cap seal due to it not sealing properly.
Abs brake failure same as for 1996/ reported to dealer/ tested and no problem found. But accident did occur due to brake failure.
