3 Air Brake Antilock problem of the 1996 Chevrolet S10

Failure Date: 08/09/1999

When coming upon a stopped vehicle ( approx 10 carl length ahead of my car ) I was traveling at about 25 to 30 mph when I applied my brakes to gradually slow down but all I got was a vibration from the brake pedal but no braking. I continued a firm push on the brakes but rolled into the stopped vehicle without any slowing of my vehicle. I held the pedal down solid with no pumping. The truck in front of me sustained little if any noticeable damage. I had to be towed.

4 Air Brake Antilock problem of the 1997 Chevrolet S10

Failure Date: 08/04/1999

When I really need my brakes as in a panic stop situation they are not there. The other day a deer ran in front of me and I hit the brakes hard and the abs like shut my brakes off. Luckily I was able to swerve off the road and no damage was done. Also on snow or ice I hate driving this truck because the slightest pressure on the brake pedal will render the brakes useless. I don't drive fast and am aware of stop signs on the way home. I slow down way before the sign and still go right through it as if I have no brakes. This is a great truck except for the fear I have of not having any brakes when I need them. I just know that sooner or later an accident will happen.

5 Air Brake Antilock problem of the 1996 Chevrolet S10

Failure Date: 06/10/1999

The truck itself is great , however the abs engaging at inappropriate times is a harrowing experience . I've called the dealers ,and requested information about the news reports of vehicle recall, however at this time it is still being investigated . Should something happen to my son , myself , or both , I just wanted some type of record. Especially w/ the approach of winter .
