I have a 2005 gmc sierra. While driving on dry roads and braking at low speeds the ABS abnormally activates with out warrant. This only happens at low speeds and has almost caused me to have several accidents. I called the gm dealer to see if there is a recall on this and they told me there was not and I could bring it in to have it looked at and repaired at my expense. I see there are other complaints here at the federal safety agency for the same thing. Searching the internet I found there are alot of people with the same problem and that gm has done a recall on 1999-2002 vehicles. I also found that gm knows they still have a problem with there ABS because they have put out a tsb # 03-05-25-007d on it, and the federal safety agency has it listed on there bulletin section. It is the federal safety agency bulletin #10004310.
