2007 Chevrolet Aveo Brakes Problems

“Chevrolet AVEO 2007 ABS braking system failure to brake during slow speeds and one time on the highway. I currently have 98,000+ miles on a Chevrolet AVEO 2007 and while recently getting several services completed in the $500 range I got new brake pads on my vehicle because they were worm out. I was also having breaking problems while parking my vehicle. The ABS don't allow the breaks to engage and I have to use the emergency break. Its now been around 3 months since november 2009 when the ABS breaking system began to fail and my vehicle stopping has gotten worse. …”

“I had stated my 2007 chevy AVEO, pulled the parking brake very tight. When I returned the car had rolled down the drive and into a neighbors tree. My first thought was, duh, I didn't pull the brake. I got in the car, and the brake was not only pulled, but was only 1 click away from being fully engaged. The driveway my car was on, was no more than a 10-15 degree angel, the car was not loaded with a lot of excess weight. Again the parking brake was fully engaged. Why in the world did this simple part fail? It seems to work now, but that second it failed. …”

“The mechanical brake switch sticks in the open position. The driver depresses the brake pedal but the switch does not close and the brake lights do not come on.

“The ABS warning light comes on after brake failure. Sometimes while driving the vehicle or making right turn bends my brakes fail and I can not stop if I had to. This is a very important problem that needs to be corrected. I have almost had numerous accidents because of this problem!! It can be fixed but Chevrolet should fix it at no cost to me. It is a safety recall as far as I am concerned! This is not a minor problem and other vehicles of my make, model, and year are more than likely experiencing the same problems that I am having! …”
