Was driving to store the first time and ready to stop at red light and the bake pedal went right to floor,made it home and saw fluid leaking from a ruptured line.(replaced and had the rest looked over). Second time a year later dec. 23 on turnpike , i had to stop quickly and another brake line failed ,taking it in this week to be replaced again. All because of rusted and corroded lines. *kb

My 1999 chevrolet tahoe (2dr, 4x4) had an abs sensor failure due to debris buildup which cased the abs to indicate a false wheel lock at low speeds on dry pavement. This failure is identical to the failures that prompted the canadian recall of gm suvs having this abs configuration. The dealership had to replace the hub and bearing assembly, and clean all of the abs sensors in order to stop the false triggering of the abs system. *nm

Brakes fail/falter when applied at slow stopping speeds. *nm

I have a 1999 chevrolet silverado truck that has defective abs brakes. On several occasions, i nearly crashed when i could not stop the vehicle at low speeds even though i pushed on the brake pedal with all my might. I had the brake system repaired at a small shop at a cost of over $300.00 but the "fix" was only temporary. It was explained to me that the problem is a defect in general motors design relating to improper voltages to the sensors. I have had many near accidents since then. I don't know what to do and am afraid an accident will occur in all likelihood. The latest incident occurred at a restaurant where i came very close to striking a tree.

Abs system is engaging at low speeds on my chevrolet silverado truck, causing loss of braking power

During a rain storm on 4/2/05, my windshield wipers stopped working in mid-stream. I had to pull over to the side of the road rather suddenly, no injuries were sustained nor crashes, however iwas very shaken by it all. I actually sat on the side of the road until the rain turned into a drizzle. I took my car to the dealer and was told a pulse control module was needed, the part was replace for $239.98.*ak

I was pulling into advanced auto when the brakes gave out on me. I jumped the curb and side walk and was stopped by a trash can and the front wall. Luckly i wasn't going fast and didn't go through the wall. This is the 3rd time my brakes went out like this. I also told to many other people who have later model chevy's.They also have had this problem. All three times i had wheel sensors replaced. I feer the next time i won't be so lucky. I also know that i'm not the first one to report this. This has been an ongoing problem. When will this be fixed.*ak

I have a 1999 chevrolet malibu ls. This is the worst car i have ever owned. Since i bought the car with 60,000+ miles on it and it won't be paid off until 2007 i have had to replace a manifold gasket, battery, water pump, i have had to put a used transmission in. You can not check the transmission fluid because there is no dip stick you have to take it to a professional to have that done. The air conditioner comes on off whenever, when you put gas in the car you have to give it gas before it will stay running. I have had bearings replaced in both front wheels, tires keep going bad as do the the brakes. Other people have had the very same complaints about these cars and not one recall has been made. I will never never buy a chevrolet again let alone a malibu. My next car will be a honda. I am still taking the car back for the transmission problem this will be the 4th time in less than a week. Not only is it still leaking transmission fluid but now i conveintly have a coolant leak that i did not have until the 3rd time of taking it back to the chevy garage to have the transmission fluid leak fixed. This car sucks.*ak

Passenger back tire totally disintegrated ,tread came completely came off while driving on freeway at 65 mph. We were able to pull over onto shoulder after getting control of vehicle. If traffic was more heavy i don't think the out come would have been as good. Called les schwab to replace tire on site. Damage from tire resulted in cutting into side of vehicle and inside wheel well. *la
