Consumer states while traveling 40 mph when depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle highdroplaned into a ditch as a result. Ph consumer complained previously of delayed stopping especially in wet weather.
No brakes when highway is wet even after recall was done.
While driving at high way speed applied brakes, but they won't work at the time. There was no distance to stop behind another vehicle. This occurs during a light rain.
On June 1, 2000 I was going to work, while driving down the highway I realized I was going a little faster than the speed limit and pressed the brakes. At that point in time my 1998 Monte Carlo LS veered to the left and I had no control. The car went through the median to oncoming traffic before I regained control. The marks on the road were felt to show that my brake system had locked up. (I do have the police report and pictures of the scene).
Anti-lock system engages for minimum amounts of gravel, sand and bumps, this erratic operation may have cause brake rotors to warp. Nlm.
Driving rain the brakes are slow to react about a 3 second delay . The dealer told us to use more brake pressure from the foot another words push harder. This problem happens all the time in the rain.
When driving at no more than 15 mph applied brake pedal is applied and rear anti-lock brakes locked up, causing vehicle to slide. Dealer has been contacted. Consumer has had the vehicle in repair shop 3 times for the problem.
