INITIALLY WE HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED, THEN WE TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WERE TEST DRIVING IT, AND TRIED TO STOP THE TRUCK, AND RAN INTO THE WELDER IN THE SHOP AND DESTROYED THE WELDER AND WRECKED THE FRONT BUMPER OF OUR TRUCK. WE THEN HAD THE BEARINGS WORKED ON. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND WHERE SOME TRUCKS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM OF THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGING AT SLOW SPEEDS. OUR TRUCK HAS A VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TRYING TO STOP, BUT IT ONLY OCCURS AT THE FINAL STAGE OF STOPPING, AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT HAS OCCURED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND WITH NO WEATHER CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD.

I PURCHASED A 2002 CHEV. K1500 5.3LITER 4X4 PICKUP IN OCT. 2010. ONCE I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME THE BRAKES STARTED ACTING UP. I CONTACT GM AND THEY ADVISED THE TRUCK HAD A RECALL ON THE ABS SYSTEM BUT THE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORM ON THE TRUCK AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANY MORE FOR ME. I THOUGHT IF IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM THEY HAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE ABS SYSTEM IS KICKING IN AT LOW SPEED UNDER 10MPH. WHEN YOU ARE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR AT A CROSS WALK. AND THE TRUCK WILL TAKE TWICE THE DISTANCE TO STOP. THEY DO NOT THINK THEY ARE NEEDING TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE PROBLEM. BUT, THEY ARE DOING A DISSATISFACTION TO THE CONSUMER. I AM A EMPLOYEE AT A AUTO REPAIR SHOP. AND WE

I OWN A 2002 SILVERADO 1500. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS BRAKES KICKING IN AT ABOUT 5 MPH AND NEARLY CAUSING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I WAS ABLE TO CLEAN THE ABS SENSORS AND MOUNTING AREAS AND ONCE AGAIN HAVE BRAKES. HOWEVER,NOW(SEPT. 2010) THE METAL BRAKE LINES UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR RUSTED THROUGH AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH 3 PEOPLE INSIDE,INCLUDING MY SON AND HIS 3 YEAR OLD SON. I AM HAVING IT TAKEN TO A GARAGE TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES, NONE OF WHICH HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICK IN AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR MY BRAKES, BUT ALL THEY DO IS CLEAN THE SENSOR, SO WHEN THEY GET DIRTY, THEY START DOING IT AGAIN. I CONTACTED MY CHEVY DEALER,AND HE SAID THEY COULD LOOK AT IT, MIGHT HAVE TO CHARGE ME THOUGH. *TR
