THE ABS BRAKES ON MY TRUCK HAVE NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY AND, IF YOU BRAKE HARD AND HIT A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME, THE BRAKES CUT LOOSE AND DON'T STOP. AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN 2000 DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT WORKING. WHEN YOU HIT THEM HARD, THEY CUT OUT. COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO 3 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERS, AND WAS TOLD THAT THAT WAS A NORMAL BRAKE FUNCTIONING. HAVE CHANGED BRAKE PADS SEVERAL TIMES AND BRAKE ROTORS AND HASN'T HELPED A BIT.

I HAD ONE ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT A T IN THE ROAD AND THE HIGHWAY WAS SLIPPERY AND I HIT A BUMP AS I WAS STOPPING. INSTEAD OF STOPPING I JUS
