I'd be driving down the street and the brakes would start applying themselves by themselves . I took the van to Ganly Chevrolet the first time and they did a brake job and said it was fixed . I drove it about a half mile and was doing about 35MPH when the brakes locked , if I wasn't buckled in I probably would have gone through the window . I immediately took it back by putting the gas pedal to the floor . you could smell and see the brakes burning . later Ganly said I needed a Brake Module and kept the car After about 6months of having my Van . they finally admitted they couldn't get a Brake Module and they had been on back order for about a year and didn't know if they would ever get one Later they called me and said they found a loose wire and my van was fixed again . I picked the Van up again and while driving home the brakes started stopping me again and my dash board started boinging and my ABS light came on . To this day if I drive it more than a mile my brakes grab , my dash starts boinging , my van shakes and my ABS light comes on and I must atep on the gas to get where I have to go and all this has happened since I paid Ganly Chevrolet approximately $2500.00 for fixing my Van this started in July of 3021 and is still going on .

I'd be driving down the street when my brakes would apply by them selves slowing my car down . after that my dash would bong and the ABS light would come on . I took it to my Chevy dealer and they replaced the brakes and said it was fixed . I pulled out of the dealers lot and was driving at 35MPH when the brakes locked and a skidded to a stop . If I hadn;t been buckled in I would have gone thru the windshield . I held the gas pedal to the floor and returnd to the dealer at about 20 MPH and some salesman came running out and said my van was on fire .I got out of my van but I didn't see any fire but there was heavy smoke coming from around the brakes . THE cHEVY DEALER HAD MY VAN APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AND SAID THEY REPAIRED IT TWICE MORE , bUT EVERYTIME i PICKED IT UP THE BRAKES WOULD GO ON A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY AND i WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK . I have been driving the car because the chevy dealer says they can't get the ABS Module to fix it and I can't drive more than a mile or so from home because the brakes apply themselves and I'm afraid the car will break down or catch on fire . I need a safe car to drive and the chevy dealer says they can't fix it because they can't get the part .

VEHICLE BOUNCES WHEN TRAVELLING ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE. I.E., CONCRETE BRIDGE OR OVERPASS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE PREVALENT WHEN TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND THE MANUFACTURER IS UNWILLING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, STATING THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. IN CONTRAST WE HAVE TWO OLDER CHEVROLET VANS THAT DO NOT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS NOT PRESENTLY IN SERVICE AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. CHEVROLET HAD OPENED A COMPLAINT UNDER THE NUMBER 8-3011733484 FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHER & SUPPLY CO.,INC. THEIR REPRESENTATIVE WAS PAM SAUNDERS. I AM THE PRESIDENT OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER & SUPPLY CO.,INC. THE OWNER OF THE VAN. THE DEALER, BANNER CHEVROLET, HAS MADE SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BUT NOW SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FRONT AND REAR SHOCKS AND SPRINGS, ALSO PAID TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL LEAF SPRING INSTALLED, ALL TO NO REMEDY. THE LAST ACTION, REPLACING THE FRONT SPRINGS, WAS DONE WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE AND ACTUALLY MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. NOW, THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING MORE. I HAVE CONSULTED AN ATTORNEY BUT THIS HAS NOT PRODUCED MUCH IN THE WAY OF A REMEDY. SO, WE ARE CURRENTLY PAYING INSURANCE AND A TRUCK NOTE ON A VEHICLE WE CANNOT USE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY EMPLOYEES OR MYSELF AT RISK OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

LT245/75R16 The fist tire failure was rear driver's side which caused a code service stable trac- this caused the vehicle to lose power and engine to die. I made home at 20mph in yraffic.I spent $500 for diagnostic check and new tire. The tire is misshapen and alerts sensor that caused engine to lose power and ultimately die. With new tire the problem was solved. But then the rear passenger tire while on the freeway acted up and caused the van to shake and rattle violently. Drove home at lower speed . I replace that tire with the spare which is a different brand and the van ran fine. Checked the bad tire and it is higher on one side than the other. Checked front tires and there are flat spots and irregularities on both tires
