2007: “When going at slow speed 10mph or less. The front anti lock breaks kick in and you feel as if it will not stop. This happens all the time. There is a safety bulletin out about this. When I asked chevy what they would do about it I was told nothing. I payed to have it fixed. This was an on going issue not a one time deal.”
