    Service Brakes, Electric

    Brakes failed to stop vehicle on several occasions traveling at a slow rate of speed and normally on a slight slope. Occurs almost everytime the vehicle is moving slowly. Consequences have been driven on the grass, redirected direction to miss other cars, no accident yet. To correct, a recall was issued on 8/29/05, had no issue then, having issue now and chevy will not fullfill the recall as they state the vehicle…

    Chevy silverado 2002. At low speeds stopping distance is unexpectedly increased due to the abs preventing a total stop during dry conditions. This occurred coming to a stop at a stop light and coming into a parking spot. The problem has occurred intermittently at least 7 times in the weeks following this first incident. The brakes also make a grinding noise at the last point of breaking. I called the dealership and…

    At slower speeds, when braking my abs activates on dry, clean pavement, almost 80% of the time. This causes my truck not to be able to stop properly and i'm afraid this is going to cause an accident. From reading over the internet i have read thousands of complaints by numerous chevrolet vehicle owners of the same complaint. My truck has 34,000 miles and i do not believe that wheel bearings should have to be…

    2006 silverado 1500. Unintended low speed abs activation. The abs activates when coming to a stop increasing stopping distance by 15-20 feet making a rear end collision inevitble. When gm was notified, they stated that there was a recall for the problem i described, but my vehicle did not fall within the model year, when asked if gm was going to expand the recal, i was told "no". Everybody is jumping on toyota prius…

    1999 chevy silverado abs light came on and noise along with it. I knew what it was right away because i replaced the abs module once before at 40000 miles. Chevy garage confirmed. Ridiculous and unsafe of chevy not to issue a recall. *tr

    I first received recall notice for abs brake system on 2001 chevrolet silverado in 2005. Immediately took vehicle to dealership on 11/1/05 and had brakes "fixed", which was simply cleaning the abs speed sensor. Mileage was 61,911. Then on 9/11/09 my wife was pulling into a parking space at our supermarket at low speed (3-4 miles per hour). Brakes failed and truck continued forward and struck the front of a parked…
