What owners wrote
Chey cavalier has ABS light on for as long as I have owned the car and it has been in a accident. Also it has fail many times I called the company for answers but no one has help.
Brake lining rusted, causing the brakes to fail. Consumer had the vehicle towed to a repair shop for diagnosis of the problem. Also, consumer contacted the manufacturer, who insisted there was not much they could do, and consumer should take the vehicle to a chevrolet dealership. Consumer was not willing to pay for a brake inspection.
