SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY 1998 CHEVROLET PICKUP SEEMS TO HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM ACTIVATES ON DRY OR WET PAVEMENT AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT'S LIKE A PULSATING FEELING ON THE PEDAL OR I LIKE TO CALL IT A CRUNCHING FEEL WITH A NOISE. IT DOES THIS ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME. I HAVE SPENT OVER $600 AT AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WITH OUT ANY REAL DIFFRENCE IN THE WAY IT WORKS. AT THIS POINT I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH THE PROBLEM WONDERING IF THE SYSTEM WILL FAIL. IWOULD GUESS THAT IT TAKES ABOUT 2 TO 5 FT. EXTRA TO STOP AT 5 TO 10 MPH.*AK
