Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Malibu

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact shifted the vehicle into park and reinserted the key into the ignition in order to restart the vehicle. Also, the contact mentioned that while driving at 30 mph, the turn signal lights and hazard lights failed to work intermittently and the abs warning light illuminated. A day later, while driving 20 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop. The contact had to apply excessive force to the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the master brake cylinder and turn signal relay switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v400000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 125,000.

At 47,000 miles my brakes began to pulsate violently when pressing the brake pedal. Also the abs warning light came on. A metal on metal sound could also be heard. This car was taken to a repair shop where the rotors were turned, new pads were installed and the abs light was reset. At 90,000 miles the exact same thing occurred. This time the rotors and pads were replaced, new calipers were installed (they were binding) and the abs light was again reset.

I purchased a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu in April 2001 VIN 1n1ne52j516196681 and have had the following work/problems with the brake system repaired at capital Chevrolet where I purchased the vehicle. Date problem/repairs mileage Nov 2001 abs warning light on, brake pads, rotors 7,754 Jan 2002 front suspension 9,080 Mar 2002 front suspension 12,000 may 2002 brake pads & rotors 14,555 July 2002 abs warning light on 17,170 oct 2002 brake pads & hub 21,055 Nov 2002 abs warning light on, rotor, hub kit 22,005 oct 2002 rotors 21,310 Dec 2002 caliper & brake pads 24,066 from the information above, I can generally get about 7,000 miles on the brake pads. I have contacted general motors customer service department (request # c06717865) and was able to get an extended warranty on the vehicle in June 2002 after several complaints, however the brakes have needed repair several times since my original concerns. I am concerned about what happens if there is a catastrophic brake failure? my recent conversations with gm customer service department have been less than cordial. I have considered trading in the Malibu and purchasing another vehicle, but the trade in value offered for the Malibu is not acceptable. My question what kind of assistance does your office of defects investigation offer? I firmly believe there is a serious safety issue with the brake system on my vehicle and general motors bears the responsibility for correcting the defect or replacing the vehicle. Thank you. Ts.
