On many occasions, at low speeds approx 5 mph. The brake booster fails and braking is hard and ABS kicks in.

The contact stated while driving approximately 45-50 MPH and then attempting to depress the brake pedal, the vehicle started pulling to the left, indicating the passenger’s side brake caliper had seized.

I was traveling approximately 20MPH on a side street that was snow covered when I came to an uncontrolled intersection where there was another vehicle approaching from my right and when I began to break the abs stabilitrak lights came on and my vehicle began to slide all over the roadway.ABS light Stabilitrak and Service trailer brakes come on causing the vehicle to slide on icy roadways. Bought the car brand new and has 45k miles. The diagnostic pulls up right rear speed sensor, so I replaced it and it still comes on with warning lights and sounds. I’ve tried to find more information on the internet and it seems a lot of people have had the same issues for many years with this problem
While in drive thru or slow speeds in parking lot have lost braking power. Pedal just goes completely soft and sounds like ABS activating.
Brake pressure seems to lose the ability to stop wall at low speeds I have already taken it to the dealer to have a recall done but only a software update was done the problem is still there while braking in low speeds it triggers the ABS and it's hard to break pedal gets really stiff
I have a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado I purchased new in 2017 from Woodruff SC Chevrolet and have had several major issues including a complete transmission replace, towed in twined, Now the latest the check engine light is on again also “service trailer break” causing the truck not to start without being jumper off, Will shut down with out notice I have replaced the battery and had alternator checked, Googled problem abs was informed to report to the federal safety agency asap I’m told it’s a defected wiring harness that has been brought to your attention,
Brake pedal is stiff when braking at highway speeds. At low speeds, brake feels as if the anti lock braking system is activated (grinding/slight vibration). In reverse, brake will go to the floor and not immediately stop vehicle. The pedal grinds like the ABS is activated, however, no pulsing action. In addition, a trailer braking warning light registered.. I do not tow with this vehicle!! This vehicle has not been to an authorized dealer for maintenance as of this message. Vehicle has 40k miles registered.
Abs and service trailer brake system warning message came on. Took it in for repairs and they replaced wiring. This caused left wheel speed sensor to malfunction. Vehicle will only drive correctly in 2 wheel drive.
Pressing the brakes at low speeds (drive thru, parking spaces) seems to cause a pressure loss in the brakes. This causes increased braking pressure to stop. You can hear a tick coming from what I assume is the ABS controller. This happens in forwards and reverse.
