Eight problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Car simply has no brakes in heavy rain. Problem may be related to ea98-019, but my car is the LS model, not z34 which has four wheel disc brakes. Dealer claimed that the owner just doesn't know how to drive in the rain.
Ea98-019, degraded braking performance; consumer noticed noise coming from front wheel whenever brakes are applied while coming to an incline and turning at the same time. Dealer is not notified at this time.
When the brakes are applied on wet surfaces the pedal goes down longer than normal, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has been notified.
Brakes: when driving in very wet weather the brakes do not contact. Was told by technician that water is getting between pad and rotor, and they won't hold until the brakes dry out.
Anti lock brakes experience extended stopping distances in wet weather conditions.
In very wet driving conditions, application of braking pressure to pedal does not initiate braking performance immediately. There is a delayed onset of braking of several seconds. This occurs regularly and predictably in very wet weather. It is clearly a dangerous defect and compensation has to be made for the deteriorated braking performance when conditions are wet. I can provide VIN number at a later time.
When applying brakes in wet weather, have to push harder and have extended stopping distances.
