- North Tonawanda, NY, USA
We have had numerous problems with the antilocking brake system. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership for brake repairs several times. The ABS light has burned for at least half of the time that we have owned the vehicle. The first time we were told that the alternator was causing the ABS light to stay on. Two weeks before the accident the dealership replaced the brake module. The accident was caused when the brakes locked up and sent the vehicle into a spin in the middle lane of a three lane highway. The accident occurred at 11:30 am on a dry highway, and luckily no other vehicles were close. We contacted Chevrolet who sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle. He said nothing was wrong with the brake system.

While driving my vehicle the cruise control went into resume and failed to let me slow down or stop vehicle. I applied the brakes several times, and I also applied the gas, while holding both feet over the brakes, vehicle still wouldn't disengage. I drove the vehicle in that position for about one mile, trying to get it to stop. When I approached my turning intersection and applied the brakes, the right tire lifted over the curb, and took my vehicle into the path of the southbound ongoing traffic. I then turned my wheel to the right to avoid running into the traffic, and the vechicle went over the grassie medium. I then applied my brakes again, but the vehicle still wouldn't disengage. At that time I realized that the vehicle wasn't going to stop. I then released my seat belt, pushed the door open, and then pushed myself outward of the vehicle. I fell onto the ground, and the vehicle continued to travel northbound and across a four-line highway, and hit a comerica bank pole. Two policeofficers were sent to the scene, and I was given a ticket. The ticket was for failing to maintain control of my vehicle. I tried numberous times to stop my vehicle, but it wouldn't disengage. Please contact me!
