I have a 1999 Monte Carlo that repeatedly has engaged the abs brake system for no apparent reason at low speeds only, often decreasing the ability to stop the car. I have seen many published reports of this problem in gm trucks and would like it known its not limited to trucks/SUV's.
1. Anti-lock braking system - warning light came on - mechanic checked system determined the system shut down due to corrosion of the abs relay in the fuse block --- 2. Brake system worked, abs did not ----- 3. Replaced abs relay switch, fuses, and fuse block.
The consumers son was driving, when al l of a sudden the brakes locked up and did not release.
Brake pedal goes down when the car is in stop position as a result moves foward you have to press down the pedal the dealer replace the master cilinder but the car still doing the same thing. I took the car back to the dealer for repair, but they say they cant mach what I say. So what I am suposse to do the car is very unsafe to drive. And they diagnostig was wrong, I got a second oppinion that is mayby the buster, the car stay in the dealer two day and because nothing wrong was found I have to pay for a car rented. Where I can take the car for second oppinion with authority over the dealer? I have a warranty in this car.
In wet weather, the brakes on this car take alot longer to stop the vehicle than the driver anticipates. The brakes feel mushy, and the brake pedal has to be pushed down quite alot to even slow down at a somewhat reasonable rate. And even then, the car takes alot of distance to come to a stop. When I called a Chevrolet service depatrment, I was told that it was normal for anti-lock brakes in wet weather. However, I have had several cars with antilock brakes before this one, and none of them ever had the problem with slowing down in wet conditions that this 1999 chevy Monte Carlo LS has had. It has gotten so bad in wet weather, that I finally parked it. It is not safe to drive in wet weather.
Ongoing problem with front wheels locking up on three occasions. Vehicle been in dealer shop, and various parts and repairs have been made, but problem reoccurred within a matter of time. The dealer tried to fix the problem eight times, but the problem reoccurs and it was even getting worse. The consumer was afraid of driving the vehicle.
