NHTSA complaint: 1998 CHEVROLET PICKUP — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WHEN BRAKING AND OR YOU HIT A BUMP, POTHOLE OR DEPRESSION THE BRAKES GO INTO ANTI LOCK AND DO NOT COME OUT. IT TAKES ABOUT 1/3 MORE DISTANCE TO STOP. I HAD ONE ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS ON THE I-5 FREEWAY, TRAFFIC STOPPED, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND HAD TO GO BETWEEN TWO CARS. I HIT THE SIDE OF ONE CAR. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS MOST OF THE TIME. IT IS VERY DANGOROUS SINCE NORMAL STOPPING DISTANCE IS SUDDENLY INCREASED AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO WHEN IT HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP ABOUT 6 TIMES. *AK
