1995 CHEVROLET S10 — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

ON JAN 19, 2002 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON ROUTE 17, WHEN A CAR CUT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION DOWN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AND A COUPLE OF OTHER DRIVERS. I HAD TO APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND LISTENED TO THEM GROAN AND GLIDE ALL THE WAY TILL THEY HIT THE FLOOR , AFTER WHICH I THEN ROLLED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. EVERYONE BUT MYSELF MANAGED TO STOP IN TIME WITH A SHORTER STOPPING DISTANCE. I MUST HAVE WENT 300 FT WITH BRAKES FULLY APPLIED BEFORE SLAMING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE THE HAYNES BRAKING COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH ONE THAT WORKS AS TESTED. *AK
