Major safety problem- upon light and medium brake application ABS is engaging, causing loss of braking control and increased braking distance. Chevrolet dealer was unable to duplicate problem until 12/13/2001. They observed the problem, opened a case with Chevrolet and they advised that the rear brake proportion valve was engaging and the action was normal. This is very unsafe, Chevrolet refuses to fix problem!!
