Abs system on pickup is worse than not having it at all. Abs activates much to early, causing extended stopping distances, even on dry pavement with gentle braking. On dry pavement, a simple expansion joint, manhole, or any pavement irregularity can cause the ABS to activate, and keeping the truck driving straight is difficult. On wet pavement, any pavement stripe, manhole, or pavement irregularity will cause ABS to activate, stopping distances double. Don't even get me started on snow, I can't drive the truck in the snow, it won't stop. Tire quality effects the condition, cheap tires are really really bad, better tires are less sensitive to the problem. The oem tires were the worst. I have two other vehicles with ABS, which perform flawlessly in most conditions, so this is not an unfamiliarity with ABS. There is a recall notice 99i0060000 which addresses this problem, but does not apply to my truck ([xxx]). Gm has been contacted a few times on the issue, and not been able to help. You already show over 700 similar complaints on your web site, so I'm sure it's nothing new, I guess 2.4 million affected vehicles didn't cover them all. I have talked to a number of dealers which indicated the behavior sounded "normal" or "typical" and did not thing there was anything that could be done. I wonder how the address the recall ? *ak updated 07/24/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

What 1994 Chevrolet S/T Pickup owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
As I was backing up in my driveway, the brakes went out on my 1995 chevy s-10 pick-up, 5 speed, 4-wheel drive. The metal brake line leading to the rear brakes had rusted through and was leaking fluid under the drivers door. Should these lines, which appear to be stainless steel, rust out? The vehicle has about 85,000 miles. A few months ago the hydraulic clutch line rusted through as well and I lost the ability to shift while I was driving in traffic. I have inspected the remaining brake lines and anywhere there is a connector fitting, there's a lot of rust. I'm planning to replace all the lines just to be safe. I still have the original brake line. I didn't know if I should contact chevrolet, but I figured I'd let you know in case something can be done about it.
Windshield wipers fail to work intermittently.
