Chevrolet Traverse Service Brakes Safety Report | June 12, 2013
Reported on June 12, 2013
| MY WIFE HAD JUST DROPPED THE KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL AND WAS ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES OF DRIVING A SERIES OF CHIMES EMITTED FROM THE CAR AND THE DASH FLASHED A LIGHT INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SERIES OF DINGS AND A BURNING SMELL. SHE THEN PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE. UPON TURNING ON THE CAR SHE HEARD ANOTHER DING AND THE SERVICE LIGHTS REMAINED ON. SHE WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE HOME BUT THE CAR EMITTED A GRINDING NOISE AND THE HEAT GAUGE WAS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN NORMAL. UPON GETTING HOME SHE CHECKED UNDER THE CAR BUT DID NOT SEE ANY FLUIDS UNDER THE CAR. WE HAVE SCHEDULED A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT THE CAR TOMORROW. *TR | |
