Service Brakes · at 57,000 miles · reported Feb 1, 2018
Abs brake system light on. Inspection failed. Said it was a "safety issue" no recall though. 1800.00 repair parts and labor. If this is a safety issue then why isn't the part recalled ? Online there are thousands of people with the same issue, we have had our brake system looked at and it is fine and safe, even though the light is on. On the chevy astro recall pages it even states and I qoute " the anti-lock brake system (Abs) control unit may fail internally causing the ABS warning light to illuminate." this isn't a safety issue, it's a parts issue, the part is glued together making it very…

Air Bags · at 167,000 miles · reported Jun 5, 2015
I was a passenger in my own vehicle and we were going the speed limit east bound.

I was belted in but my whole left side still hit the dash and head broke the windshield. The emergency responders said I wouldn't have been as badly injured if the bags would have deployed. We weren't cited but the other driver was. I contacted general motors but they are failing to take responsibility for their product.…

The VIN, engine size, and purchase date were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 25,000.
Suspension · reported Jun 18, 2007
I had several near misses involving failure of the anti-lock brake system before the problem was fixed. Our mechanic could not find any fault with ABS sensors when testing them. The brakes worked normally in wet/slippery conditions , but at very low speed on dry pavement the ABS would prevent the van from stopping . The brake pedal would noisily go down while the vehicle continued moving. I almost rammed the back of a new cadillac at a drive-through fast-food place. Finally, after replacing the wheel bearing, (And associated ABS sensor, on the front passenger side the problem stopped. Gmc…
