1 Abs Brake Fail problem

Failure Date: 02/02/1999

When the abs brakes are applied, there would be some wobbling. Has appened at least 6 times. The mechanic felt the abs sensors were failing. Rotors are substandard & are going out. There would be shimming. Not heavy enough for vehicle. Was corrected.

2 Abs Brake Fail problem

Failure Date: 10/21/1998

Abs brakes failed.

3 Abs Brake Fail problem

My abs failure light comes on a lot signifying that my abs is not functioning. Once I turn off the car and restart it, the light is off, but this is happening more frequently lately. My car is no longer under warranty, and given the "great" service I have had in the past with chevy dealers and the brakes on this Malibu, I will not take it to them.
