UNDER BRAKING, ALMOST FULL PEDAL TRAVEL IS NECESSARY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS VERY "MUSSY" AND STOPPING DISTANCE IS EXTENDED SIGNIFICANTLY.

WE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WERE THAT NO RECALL IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT ALTHOUGH THERE EXISTS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 99V193000 WHICH DESCRIBES THIS PROBLEM. WE WANT THIS ISSUE SOLVED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. CURRENTLY WE AVOID USING THIS VEHICLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
