THE ABS HAS GONE ON TWICE - DEALER FAILED TO REPAIR, CLAIMED IT WAS THE "BULB"-BRAKES WERE REPLACE 4 TIMES IN 1 YEAR; THEN THE FROM ROTORS "ROTTED" AND BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED AGAIN. THEN THE LEFT FRONT CONTROL ARM BROKE - THE DAY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE RIGHT FROM CONTROL ARM BROKE. I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT A GARAGE OTHER THAN THE DEALER - I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS DEALER SAID CHEVROLET RE-DESIGNED THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THEY HAD "NO COMPLAINTS". WELL, IT'S A SERIOUS ENOUGH DEFECT THAT THE TIRES COULD HAVE COME OFF. I HAVE ASKED CHEVY FOR SOME TYPE OF RE-IMBURSMENT . I SPENT OVER $900.00 FOR REPAIRS. I'VE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM.

DEALER RELINED FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AT MY EXPENSE. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A VEHICLE WHICH I FEEL IS NOT SAFE DUE TO LACK OF BRAKING POWER BECAUSE OF ABS NOT WORKING. DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH GM CARS BUT THEY CANNOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEIR COMPUTER SHOWS THE REPAIR CODE INDICATING THE FAILED PART.. *AK
