Dt: 2001 chevrolet silverado ton pick up. The anti- lock braking system failed. While driving and coming a stop sign or light and pressing on the brakes there is a chatter on the brake pedal or grinding noise from the vehicle. The vehicle will not stop right away, it takes a few seconds more than usual to stop. Sometimes when pushing the brakes it is harder to push the pedal down, this only happens at a slow stopping speed. This doesn't happen when you are traveling at higher speeds. Took vehicle to dealership and they said was the anti lock braking system would take at least 3 hours to fix and would cost $600.00.*ak the rotors were warped and the brake pads were worn. The doors locked on their own and the seats moved forward on their on.

I am having a problem with my 2001 chevy silverado, the brakes when I press down on them sound like there isn't any brakes their at all, making a grinding and growling sound. I have had it at three different chevy dealers and they say that their isn't anything wrong with them. I know that their isn't something wrong with the brakes because it only makes that sound when I use my brakes. I am almost afraid to drive the truck long distance because I don't really trust it. Thanks.
