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

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE ABS ACTIVATED AT LOW SPEEDS. THE MECHANIC BLED THE BRAKES AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. THE ABS ACTIVATED WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. THE ROADS WERE ICY, AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE. THE BRAKES LOCKED, BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT MOVING UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED. THE ABS HAD BEEN ACTIVATED AT LOW SPEEDS SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE ABS ACTIVATION WAS INTERMITTENT, AND MANY TIMES THE BRAKES WERE DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOP, WHICH DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE WITH THE ABS SENSORS. *AK UPDATED 1/11/2006 - THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ABS SENSORS WERE CORRODED. THE DEALER CLEANED THE SENSORS AND SPRAYED THE WITH AN ANTI-CORROSION SPRAY. THE CONSUMER HAS FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. *NM
