About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
On a number of occasions when stopping the vehicle at a low-speed, typically pulling up to a stop sign, a vibration can be felt in the brake and the vehicle does not slow down. Under additional pressure, the brake pedal then slips down a bit and the brakes then engage. I have not taken the vehicle back to the dealership yet as the problem occurs infrequently. So far, other than an extended stopping distance, there are not been any adverse consequences. The most recent incident 07-may-2005.

A loud air blower sound could/can be heard from the car. Took the car to two mechanics who both told me the ABS system had failed and needed to be turned off in order to not drain the battery. The only corrective action is to purchase $1,200 part + labor from the same manufacturer with no guaruntee the part will work. Was told by mechanics they see the ABS failures in Chevy products daily. In November I was in an accident because ABS system had been disengaged due to failure. I do not feel safe driving this car and will sell as soon as possible.
