In dry, good road conditions, when braking, the ABS goes into inappropriate operation and reduces braking ability by 40% to 70%. I tested the vehicle under safe conditions and the problem is consistent. I re-seated the electrical connectors on the ABS modulator / motor pack and the problem temporarily goes away.

During normal braking from speed of approx. 45mph to speed of approx. 20mph on flat, level, smooth, dry pavement, ABS system activated without reason. Entire car shuddered and steering attempted to pull car to the left with braking adjusted by ABS which lengthened braking distance greatly.. low trac dash light on during ABS controlled braking episode, but ABS light not on and not flashing. Shuddering noise heard from under car, especially toward right passenger front during ABS control of brakes and continued for approx. Another mile after brake pedal had been release and speed of 40 mph was resumed. Have had previous trouble with ABS activating without reason while breaking to a normal stop on dry pavement from slow speed (less than 10-15mph) and while breaking while driving down slight decline at slow speed in a parking garage. Also had instance of car being fully stopped at traffic light and ABS light coming on at same time as car jumped forward approx. 3 feet, while brake pedal suddenly allowed itself to be depressed all the way to the floor. Have called dealership re: Frequent instances of ABS light coming on and remaining on to which dealership said to shut car off, then turn on to reset ABS system. Have had ABS sensor replaced once, when car was approx. 2 years old. Had not trouble for approx. A year after that, but have had increasingly more frequent instances of ABS light remaining on (never flashing), especially since tires were replaced approx. 6 months ago. Have checked for proper tire inflation and balance to ensure this is not the difficulty. Am taking car to dealership later this week for ABS system to be fixed.

I have had a problem with the ABS light coming on just shortly after the vehicle was purchased. They supposedly said it was nothing serious, they may have replace(doubt it) or just reset sensor. On 7/3/00, my lights(ABS & low trac) came on so I called different mechanic...I was told that could be nothing but could also be problem and to bring car in. When I took the car in I was informed that the sensor hub was not working and so I had the left side replaced. One month later, August 21, the same thing happened again. Took the car in and this time it was the right side that had to be replaced. I think that Chevy or anyone else for that matter, should really take their customers serious when they say there is a problem with the car, as we the consumer drive their vehicles on a daily basis and know when something is not working correctly. They should definitely do a recall on this part before someone is driving down an interstate highway and ends of dying due to poor craftsmanship. I would appreciate hearing if anyone else has complained of same or similar problems that have occurred to me. Sincerely

ABS light will come on and stay on until vehicle has been turned off. While driving it will come on at random without the brakes being used. Also the low track will come on when braking. I have had the brakes replaced four times since I bought the car. The rotors were also replaced and the problem still occurs. Sometimes it seems as though the car is not going to stop at all. I am very afraid one day the brakes will not work when I need them to. Could you please follow up with the Chevrolet company and myself about this problem. It occurs to often and I have had mechanics look at it but they do not know what the problem is.

ABS system does not always come on when starting the car. When it is on it often malfunctions. When braking, just before coming to a complete stop, the brakes lock up then quickly release, and the low tracking light comes on.
