The van was used and the previous owner had problems with the wipers brakes and ABS and wipers.
The brake wiring was replaced twice but it does not say why... as it was under warranty I guess.
The vehicle was brought in for inspection for ABS problems by previous owner, but like most Chevy vans, it is hard to replicate as you must be actively driving for the light to come on.
The ABS was replaced in both front right and left within the last year. Today, it was snowing... and as I was driving (NOT braking) the ABS light came on and I heard a screech of tires and realized it was our van... the vehicle screeched to a dead halt in the middle of the road. Turned off ignition and the light went off, but now have to service, even though I know it was probably just snow building up on the ABS and made it fail.
The reason I know this... for some reason my ex bought a similar Chevy van previous to this and it has the exact same faults with ABS. No wonder the manufacturers keep putting out this crap. The same idiots will keep buying them.
These vehicles are not build for driving in inclement weather, so as the gentleman before me stated, the ABS craps out when you might need it most...
The person who complained before me did not say they were actually braking when the ABS suddenly came on, or if the light just kept coming on.... and would be curious if it was the same problem I just had.
If it needs more then a cleaning and needs a ton of repairs, I will let you know. This vehicle has cost me more in 4 months then my 25 year old truck cost me in maintenance AND repairs in it's lifetime. I just got it home from the shop 2 days ago... here I go again.
