About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
: the contact stated the ABS engages at low speeds of 5mph and below. This primarily happens while stopping the vehicle. There is a NHTSA recall # 05V379000 concerning the ABS. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN and the year of the vehicle. The dealer was contacted, but no repairs were made.
When brakes are applied pedal feels normal, but ABS system does not kick in as it should, causing a loss of brakes. Extremely soft brake pedal, goes almost to the floor. Brakes must be pumped several times to achieve enough brake to slow dowm or stop. GM rep will not authorize any further warranty brake service. Dealer has been contacted.
While driving and applying the brakes consumer heard noise coming from the brakes. Dealer replaced brakes, including calipers/pads and shoes, seven times.
When foot is removed from accelerator pedal to decelerate, it takes approximately ten seconds or more before vehicle starts to slow down. Speed plays no factor in deceleration. When brakes are applied, pedal goes to floor. Taken vehicle to dealer & mechanic refused to write up problem until representative drove vehicle.
Brakes are pulling to the left. Noise coming from front left disc. Took it to the dealer 3 times. They made it worse, they turned the rear drums and the front disks and replaced pads, now braking distance is significantly increased, car pulls to the left, rear wheels ABS don't work
