1994 Chevrolet Cavalier Brakes Problems

“This problem of the ABS system malfunctioning started a little over a year ago. I have already spent well over 800 dollars on brake work at several different brake shops. Nobody knew what the problem was until I took it to the last place. They told me it was 1300 dollar problem. I need to replace the ABS box. While driving down the highway one day in perfectly clear weather I was to force to hit my brakes and ended up spinning out of control and almost being struck by numerous cars until I finally come to a stop facing traffic. This happened while my 15 month old son was in the car with me. …”

“I could not stop the car, and hitted the car in front of me, it was raining at the time when the accident occurred. I noticed there is a recall for GM SUV, mini van and pickup. I believe it is the same problem.”

“Excessive front brake pad wear, replaced a minimum of 10 times within 70,000 miles rotors replaced also - drivers seat does not always lock into place sometimes slides for/backwards - hard to use release button on front passenger belt now the casing fell off - wipers aren't placed correctly has chipped off paint on hood - driver side window is hard to roll feels as if it gets off track car gives squeking/rattling sound while driving - black metal parts on wipers has faded to blotchy gray early in cars life - I have not had problems like these in any car I've owned, they are premature…”

“Consumer stated when applying the brakes, it felt like the vehicle was trying to stop on wet leaves, it was soon discovered that the brakes were installed wrong by the dealer on june 14, 2000, the dealer offered consumer a 50 percent split on the brake work, however consumer believes that the dealer should pay for the entire brake job since they installed the rear brakes on the front and vice versa.”

“The day the vehicle was delivered to the consumer it had a flat tire. The tire was replaced but a few days later another tire went flat. The brakes failed with no warning, there was an unusual noise when making turns and the stabilizer was found broke, there was another noise in the front end and the vehicle had fallen to the ground. The consumer discovered there was a recall on the drive axle which may have been related to the incident he/she experienced.”
