Wheel speed sensor fails, causing the anti lock brakes to engage, making the car take a significantly longer stopping distance. I am afraid it is going to end in a crash. Not covered under the warranty, even though it is a safety issue.
When pressingdown on brake pedal it goes to the floor. Has to pump brakes to stop vehicle. Also, brake light comes on. This only happens when coming to a stop.
This has happened numerous times. Brake pedal will have no pressure and car will take extra distance to stop. This happens when it is wet or at low speeds wet or dry.
While driving vehicle about 30 mph ABS light came on and has been on for long time. Also, because of this matter fuse blew up. Three times consumer has taken vehicle for repair. In addition, tail light has not worked properly.
A police officer witnessed the accident. The car was turning right on a slight downhill grade. The weigh shifted forward, locking up the ABS system, causing the car to continue forward with no pull ot traction to complete the turn. This loss of control at normal speeds may have caused similar accident several months ago. There was no ticket issued. The cause was listed as "locking of the ABS braking system". we believe that the GM ABS system has a high degreee of probability of being very dangerous. We would like to know how many similar reports have been lodged and recommend a factory replacement or adjustment to this potentiually dangerous system in the 1996 cars. Is there a known fix to this?
