The brakes on my 2002 silverado are terrible. At low speeds the brake pedal goes to the floor and the truck will not stop. My wife refuses to drive the truck. I use it to pull my 2 horse trailer and the trailer brakes stop the vehicle. The chevy recall on these brakes should be extended to all states! I live in florida and obviously my truck has been affected by the faulty abs sensor issue. *nm
