Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“During a normal stop the anti lock brakes will kick in from right to left at random on dry pavement. This causes the steering to pull to the left and right with out warning. There are many complaints about this on the internet. The Chevrolet dealers are avoiding the issue, and the supposedly fix the problem ( at the owners cost) , and the problem is still there. This has caused accidents for some drivers already.”
