My abs light goes on and off, and my brakes give out when I am trying to stop.

The abs light on the instrument panel frequently turns on, especially during braking, and/or non-braking while making a turn. When the abs light turns on, the braking capabilities of the car are diminished (conversely of what should happen). These incidents of abs system malfunction have almost caused me to have a couple accidents where the braking system was not fully powered. It has felt like losing the power assisted brakes on the car, where there is nothing wrong with the power braking system. 99% of the time, the system works fine, but it's that 1% of the time that this happens unexpected, and is very dangerous.

Purchased a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu in Dec. 03 - on Feb. 09, 2004 I was in stop and go traffic on the baltimore beltway during morning rush hour. While going only about 7 miles per hour, I applied my brakes to stop and my car would not brake. I ended up running into the SUV in front of my vehicle. No damage to the SUV, however the front end damage to my Malibu was $3500. 00. (after poking around on the internet I found out that the Malibu received the poorest rating on a low speed front end impact crash test) it really doesn't look like $3500 worth of damages. Needless to say I was floored when I received the news. Anyway, about three weeks ago I received a recall letter in the mail stating that my abs sysyem needed to be reprogrammed. It also stated in the letter exactly what happened to me on Feb 9, 2004 when my car did not brake. I am 100% certain that this is what caused my accident. I phoned gm and took my car into the dealer. They inspected my vehicle and reprogrammed my braking system. A representative from gm called me earlier this week. He stated that they found no problems with the brakes in my 04 Malibu. (so why the recall and why did they reprogram the abs?) he also went on to say that gm would not be held liable for any damages sustained from this collision. I disagree! I feel that general motors should be held liable for my damages.
