I WAS ON 401-EAST IN TORONTO. I TOOK THE ISLINGTON RD EXIT AND TGE TRAFFIC WAS CRAWLING AT THE BEST. WE WRE TARVELLING AT LESS TAH 10MPH AND I WAS ABOUT 5FT BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT. I WANTED TO SLOW DOWN AND USED THE BRAKES. THE CAR STOPPED IN A COULPLE OF FEET AND THEN LURCHED/SURGED FORWARD WITH MY FOOTSTIL ON THE BRAKES. THIS IS THE THRIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE OTHER TWO TIMES IT WAS IN LANSING AND IT HAPPENED AT MUCH HIGHER SPPEDS. I TOKK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS SURGING/LURCHING WAS NORMAL FOR ABS BRAKES. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AGAIN TWOWEEKS AGO WHILE I WAS GETING OTHER WORK DONE AND I WAS TOLD THEY ARE GOOD FOR ANOTHER 10,000MILES. DOES NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 991006000 RELATE TO THIS? ACOORDING TO A DEALER IN TORONTO THIS VAN IS NOT INCLUDED. I WOLULD LIKE TO GET SOME INFO ONWHOM TO APROACH IN THE GM CORPORATION REGARDINGTHIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASISTANCE.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 20 MPH OVER AN OVERPASS WHEN I SAW THAT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD STOPPED. EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMED THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP (MAYBE 200 FEET) WHEN I STOOD ON THE BRAKES, IT ONLY SLOWED THE VAN DOWN BUT NOT QUICK ENOUGH. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HIT THEM STRAIGHT ON RATHER THAN SWERVING AND MAYBE CLIPING THEM. I DID NOT FEEL ANY VIBRATION FROM THE ABS BRAKES. I ALSO DID NOT LAY A SKID MARK. I BENT THE STEARING WHEEL BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD MY BRAKES SEVICED JUST 3 WEEK BEFORE THE CRASH. THEY GAVE ME NEW FRONT BRAKES AND DID MY FRONT END. I ALSO GOT NEW TIRES. MY HUSBAND TRIED THE BRAKES ON A COUNTRY ROAD THE NEXT DAY AND THE VAN WENT SIDEWAYS. THE ABS LIGHT DID NOT COME ON TIL ABOUT A WEEK AFTER WE GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP. AT ABOUT 25000 MILES THE ABS LIGHT HAD COME ON AND ROMANIA CHEVROLET FIXED THE ABS UNDER THE WARRENTEE.
