1996 CHEVROLET C/K SERIES — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

96 SILVERADO 4X4 REAR BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH, REPAIRED. 6 MONTHS LATER FRONT CROSSOVER BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH, REPAIRED. PUT NEW BRAKES/ROTORS ON FRONT, NEW SHOES ON REAR W/NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS AND NEW REAR BRAKE HOSE, OLD HOSE BURST. BLED SYSTEM, BUT PEDAL STILL SPONGY. BRAKES NOT WORKING. TAKES FOREVER TO STOP THIS TRUCK, DANGEROUS. I AM A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER, AND THIS TRUCK IS THE WORST. THE OTHER BAD ONES WERE CHEVY LUMINAS, WHICH WERE SIMILAR WITH SPONGY PEDAL AND EXTENDED STOP DISTANCES. THE TRUCK HAS A DELAY BETWEEN PEDAL PUSH AND BRAKING STARTING. EXCESSIVE PEDAL PRESSURE REQUIRED, DOESN'T DO MUCH GOOD. I TOWED A TRAILER WITH IT ONCE, AND WAS SCARED TO DEATH. ENGINE HAS LOTS OF POWER, BRAKES ARE USELESS. ANTILOCK SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS, CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SWERVE. GM KNOWS THIS SYSTEM IS "UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED" JUST LIKE THE OLD CORVAIRS WERE. RALPH NADER WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU? NO ONE ELSE IN THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE ANYTHING. THEY DON'T CARE OR ARE ON THE TAKE. OTHERWISE THIS BLATANT DEFECT WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED! ALSO MY SISTER OWNS A YUKON, 1996, AND HER ANTILOCK SYSTEM ACTIVATED ALL THE TIME ON DRY ROAD, AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. SHE TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND DID THE BRAKES. IT DIDN'T STOP THE ANTILOCK PROBLEM, SO I DISCONNECTED THE FUSE TO THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM AND IT STOPPED THE FAULTY ACTIVATION, BUT THE BRAKES ARE STILL SPONGY, AND THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ANOTHER FRIEND WAS INJURED AND THE 199
