When he applying brakes ABS braking light came on. Therefore, system was inoperable. Dealership was aware of problem. Mechanic told him that ebcm devices were bad.this was brain unit to this device.
My 1998 GMC Sonoma developed a braking problem - pulling hard right. The vehicle (under warranty - 15,000 miles) was taken to the dealership to correct the problem. The front rotors were turned, pads deglazed, wheel bearings repacked, rear drums turned and shoes adjusted to correct the problem. The cost to me was $217. I have never experienced brake problems at such low milage on any vehicle I have ever owned. I am convinced that a defect exists in the braking system that GM is attempting to blame on the consumer.
