| 2007 | SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC | CHEVROLET AVEO 2007 ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE TO BRAKE DURING SLOW SPEEDS AND ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. I CURRENTLY HAVE 98,000+ MILES ON A CHEVROLET AVEO 2007 AND WHILE RECENTLY GETTING SEVERAL SERVICES COMPLETED IN THE $500 RANGE I GOT NEW BRAKE PADS ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY WERE WORM OUT. I WAS ALSO HAVING BREAKING PROBLEMS WHILE PARKING MY VEHICLE. THE ABS DON'T ALLOW THE BREAKS TO ENGAGE AND I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK. ITS NOW BEEN AROUND 3 MONTHS SINCE NOVEMBER 2009 WHEN THE ABS BREAKING SYSTEM BEGAN TO FAIL AND MY VEHICLE STOPPING HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE DEALER REFUSES TO COVER THE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY NOR TO CHECK THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED AS HEARING THE PCM CAN RESET CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO WORK AGAIN AS IT DID UNTIL THIS YEAR. I RECENTLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHOM HAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE FOR $69.99 PLUS TAX. A SPEED SENSOR BAD WAS DIAGNOSED AND IS GETTING FIXED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS PART ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND COST $150. THE ABS GOING BAD ON THE HIGHWAY WAS THE FINAL CALL WHEN PULLING OFF THE INTERSTATE AT 35 MPH AND DURING PARKING/SLOW SPEEDS I'M REQUIRED TO USE THE PARKING BREAK. THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS PART AND COSTS $150.00 PLUS LABOR HOURS. I FEEL AS THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALER. BASED ON BEING REQUIRED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO STOP MY VEHICLE DURING SOME STOPS I FIND THIS A VERY HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR |
