1997 Chevrolet Tahoe SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

ABS BRAKES; WHEN APPLYING BRAKES IN WET WEATHER, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *AK

FRONT DISC BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 1997. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE I STARTED NOTICING FRONT DISC BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GUNDERSON CHEVROLET WERE THEY "GRINDED" AND LUBED FRONT "KNUCKLES?" . PROBLEM CONTINUED AND CONSISITS OF "JERKY" AND "CLUNKY" FRONT BRAKES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP WERE FRONT DISC PADS WERE REPLACED AND FRONT ROTOR WERE TURNED DUE TO WARPING. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT A "JERKY" BRAKING MOTION WHICH IS ANNOYING AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO IMPROPER BRAKING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM IS VERY POORLY DESIGNED AND WOULD EXPECT THAT GMAC SHOULD REPAIR THIS $35,000 VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD HAVE A RELIABLE AND SMOOTH FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/75/15 )

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING AT 15 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, ABS KICKED IN AND THE CONSUMER REAR ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE. *AK
