2001 Chevrolet Silverado brakes complaints

This is a potential problem rather than an incident. The parking brake on my 2001 chevy silverado does not work. I saw in your defect investigation gm's reply was over use or improper use by consumers. This is untrue. My parking brake pedal went to the floor on the day I bought it and still does. It does not and never has been very effective.

2001 chevrolet silverado 2500hd extended cab 4x4. Abs activation at low speed. Dealer said my truck was not covered, but I had the exact same problem as the current ABS recall #04094. Dealer informed me that repairs would entail replacing hub and would cost $507.00. I will conduct the recommended service procedure as per the recall myself. There is a problem with 2500 hd pickups of the same or similar nature to the existing recall. It is a somewhat dangerous condition, and right at the moment I have disabled the ABS until I have fixed it. It happens pretty much constantly at slow controlled stops.

Rear brake pads do not make full contact with brake disc. Outer circumference of brake disc is untouched by brake pad when brakes are applied. I estimate that rear brakes are less then 50% effective due to lack of pad contact. Rear discs were defectively cast so that final machining missed the outer circumference of disc. I have digital photos to verify.
I own a 2001 chevy silverado that has the same anti-lock brake problem as other silverados. But I am told mine does not have the correct VIN numbers for the recall. So gm refuses to fix my vehicle, I do not believe I should have to pay for this repair when there is a recall out there for the exact problem on the exact vehicle. (gm recall # 05068)
Premature engagement of antilock brake system.
1) no advance warning signs of failure of anti-lock braking system. 2) anti-lock braking system activates at speeds under 10 miles per hour. Braking distance has increased and must be accounted for when driving vehicle 3) vehicle needs to be scheduled for repair. Manufacturer recall is not covered in wisconsin.
Abs activates for no reason. Makes the truck take extremely long distance to stop. It happens every time you hit the brakes.
Our 2001 chevy silverado 2500hd diesel 2wd pickup truck consistently experience false activation of the ABS on the drivers side front wheel at about 5 MPH, causing the vehicle to be hard to stop and causing it to pull to the right. This has been happening since march 2005. We have had several near crashes because of this problem. We understand this problem is addressed by recall campaign 05v379000, but we never received a recall notice from gm. When we contacted gm about this recall, we were told that it is VIN specific, and that our VIN is not included. We were advised that we should take our vehicle to a gm dealer and pay for its diagnosis. If the dealer and gm agree that this problem should be fixed under recall 05v379000, then gm might reimburse us for the repairs. We do not think we should have to pay for diagnosis and repairs for a problem that gm is aware of and has issued a major recall. We believe that gm has omitted some smaller classes of vehicles to reduce its cost of this recall.
