Dt: the contact stated when applying the brakes at a high speed the brakes will chatter. When applying the brakes while approaching a stop sign the brake pedal will go to the floor and it will pulsate. The brakes will not allow the vehicle to come to an abrupt stop, but has extended stopping distance. A recall for other general motor vehicles regarding the ABS system, was issued, but this vehicle was not included in the recall. Upon inspection, it was determined that the rotors needed to be turned. The service dealer turned the rotors, replaced the brake pads and the brake shoes. This remedied the problem. The dealer will have to check the ABS to determine if the speed sensor was the problem.*ak updated 02/07/06.

I have experienced the exact same situation with the ABS brakes on my 2002 chevrolet s-10 crew cab pick-up truck as described below: feds probe gm brakes tuesday, may 03, 2005 the federal safety agency said monday that stopping distances may increase when the brakes are applied at speeds of under 10 MPH because of the buildup of corrosion. In some of the vehicles, the corrosion of salt and other cold-weather road substances LED to unwanted activation of the brake system at low speeds and increased the stopping distance.
