Anti-lock brake light stays on, consumer took vehicle to dealer. Dealer put car on machine, said it was left brake block which needed to be replaced. When applying the brakes it takes a second or two to catch.
While driving down on the highway put foot on the brakes and brake pedal pulsated. Then, raised the foot off the pedal. Contacted dealer who said that they haven't had any problems. Nothing they could do.
ABS valve block failed. Am reporting this failure since it is the second ABS brake failure of two GM automobiles we currently own. Our 1992 Chevy caprice wagon ABS system failed when it had 49,978 miles on it. Now the 1995 Buick, which has 55700 miles on it has also experienced an ABS brake failure. We can understand an isolated failure. But having two General Motors automobiles and both cars experiencing ABS brake failures lead us to believe that General Motors has a problem with ABS systems throughout its various fleets. Request your offices reseaarch this potential problem with the intention of having a recall of all cars so affected if necessary. The two ABS failures total more than $2200 in repairs.
