“During a normal stop the anti lock brakes will kick in from right to left at random on dry pavement. This causes the steering to pull to the left and right with out warning. There are many complaints about this on the internet. The chevrolet dealers are avoiding the issue, and the supposedly fix the problem ( at the owners cost) , and the problem is still there. This has caused accidents for some drivers already. *tr”Owner report · Service Brakes · May 2014

“On july 17, 2013 I crashed my 2008 roadtrek 190 popular (chevrolet express 3500 chassis) in a roadside ditch. Fortunately no one was hurt but the driver-side airbag did not deploy. Neither did the passenger-side airbag but it may have been turned off. In any event, the seriousness of the crash suggests that there may have been a malfunction of the airbag. I have no intent to seek any damages from roadtrek or gm as I did not sustain any significant injury and was adequately restrained by my seatbelt. I am letting you know just in case this might be a problem on some of these vehicles. Contact me via email if you want photos or the location of the vehicle. *tr”Owner report · Air Bags · Jul 2013
