| The rear axle seal continually failed, allowing gear oil to soak the rear brake shoes. the oil soaked rear brake shoes cause many problems, many affecting the abs system, and directional stability of the vehicle during stops, the distance required to stop, and a general poor feeling of the brake system. the oil soaked rear brake shoes cause the rear wheels to lock up at low speeds when the brake is applied, especially when the conditions are wet. under all braking conditions, the vehicle will pull to one side or the other. because the rear brakes are not contributing to slow the vehicle down, as designed, the front brakes do more of the stopping, and the abs is more apt to detect an actual skid. the abs, unlocks the lock wheel, thus overlaoding the other front wheel, causing that wheel to skid, and the abs unlocks that wheel next. this cycle continues, causing the brake pedal to travel towards the flood, and the vehicle to pull to each side repeatedly. the symptoms i am reporting are reported at your web site hundres of times. it is time the general motors is forced to do something about the brake problems, many of which may be traced to leaky rer axle seals.*ak | |||
