| Was driving and a truck pulled out of drive way in front of me. hit the brakes and they worked for a split second but then went out causing an accident. since that they brake tight and abs light came on and continues to stay on at all times now. i do have brakes just not anti-lock. have checked the whole system to fix and found that it is a common problem. the abs module is no longer available so can not remedy this problem. i live in a state that has safety and emissions tests that it will not pass. i have done research on this issue to try to get fixed and parts for hours to no reveal. this item should be a recall due to the danger of failure and number of complaints. also most people will not report these problems because the brakes still work just not the anti-lock part of iut after all my brake pedal is not spongy or low in anyway actually they are good. i cannot even find a good one in the junk yards as i have bought 2 units and both were bad so had to return them. what a waste of 8 hours total to find that they had same problem. i have 192354 miles on it now and still runs strong. i feel that each time i drive it i am taking a risk of hurting other people including myself. we cannot afford to replace this vehicle so it is like playing russian roulette when driving. gm needs to fix these vehicles before any one dies and they get sued (if this hasn't already happened). like i said it has been a great reliable vehicle other than this problem. so everyone that does have this problem needs to report it so gm is forced to address this problem. *tr | |||
