Brake failure on 2003 Chevy Express 2500 cargo van. GM knows about this problem, see General Motors tsb #'s..03-05-25-003 & 02-05-25-005 & 05-05-25-002. This should be fixed via a "safety recall " since the only way to fix the vehicle is to have the ABS computer reprogrammed at a Chevy or GMC dealer. This is an obvious manufacturing error as noted by the tsb's, & should be repaired free of charge. No amount of normal servicing could prevent this from occurring. I've called GM re. This & they say it's not a safety issue"????? loss of brakes is not a safety issue ??" the dealer charged me $90. To correct their programming error.
