| 2005 | SERVICE BRAKES | OVERALL PROBLEM: THE ABS SYSTEM KEPT KICKING IN AT LOW SPEED STOPS AND THE ABS/TC LIGHT CAME ON IT STARTED OUT AS AN OCCASIONAL ABS SENSATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH GOT WORSE OVER A MATTER OF A COUPLE WEEKS. THE TIMES WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE BRAKING WAS GENTLE` AND GRADUAL, SO IT WAS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE ABS TO COME ON AND MY BRAKING DISTANCE WAS INCREASED. AFTER THE FIRST WEEK THE ABS/TC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY (EXAMPLE: AT LEAST TWICE ON MY 15 MINUTE COMMUTE). AFTER CONFIRMING THAT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES, THE DEALER DECIDED IT WAS MY WHEEL HUB AND I PAID FOR THAT (EXPENSIVE) REPLACEMENT. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ONE DAY, AND THEN RETURNED EVEN MORE SEVERELY AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO STOP SAFELY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON CHEVROLETFORUM ONLINE FOR OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE, WE FOUND THAT IT WAS LIKELY THE "PIGTAIL WIRE HARNESS". THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER AND REPLACED ON THAT SECOND TRIP.
