Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock. My pickup truck 2002 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd experiences unwanted antilock brake system (ABS) activation at speeds less than 20 MPH. Same as the federal safety agency recall # 05v37900. That recall is for only silverados not silverado 2500 hd. There is a current problem that exists on my truck and should be looked into. I have lived in michigan the whole time I have owned this truck. The brakes pulse at lower speeds and I have to allow for extra stopping distance to make sure I don't hit someone else. Same issue as the federal safety agency recall 05v37900. Vehicle has not been fixed yet, if you would want to check this out on a vehicle that is currently having this problem you are welcome to check it out.

While driving rt.523 to flemington,nj ,I needed to use the brakes to decelerate and when I pushed the pedal went to the floor no brakes [xxx] near rearended the vehicle in front of me. My vehicle is a chevrolet 2003 silverado 2500hd ext.cab truck shortbed. Later I found that all 4 brakelines rusted,corroded going to the ABS junction box under the cab driver's side.why is there no national recall for this? Are you waiting until someone gets killed,or a first responder gets injured before taking appropriate action? Just like ford and the rollovers due to the tires on the suvs several years ago. It's time to stop this before a tragedy occurs!!! *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My 1999 chevrolet tahoe (2dr, 4x4) had an ABS sensor failure due to debris buildup which cased the ABS to indicate a false wheel lock at low speeds on dry pavement. This failure is identical to the failures that prompted the canadian recall of gm suvs having this ABS configuration. The dealership had to replace the hub and bearing assembly, and clean all of the ABS sensors in order to stop the false triggering of the ABS system.

The antilock brake sensor activates the ABS system at low speeds nearly every time we try to stop requiring a longer stopping distance than normal. This has caused several close calls, but so far no accidents.

I have a 1999 chevrolet silverado truck that has defective ABS brakes. On several occasions, I nearly crashed when I could not stop the vehicle at low speeds even though I pushed on the brake pedal with all my might. I had the brake system repaired at a small shop at a cost of over $300.00 but the "fix" was only temporary. It was explained to me that the problem is a defect in general motors design relating to improper voltages to the sensors. I have had many near accidents since then. I don't know what to do and am afraid an accident will occur in all likelihood. The latest incident occurred at a restaurant where I came very close to striking a tree.
