SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
ANTI LOCK BRAKES KICK IN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TRY TO STOP MY CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 PICKUP TRUCK. AFTER IT HAD HAPPENED A FEW TIMES I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT AND THOUGHT MAYBE THE BRAKES HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO GREESE OR SOMETHING. I EVENTUALLY WOUND UP REAR ENDING A VEHICLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK BEHIND IT IN A MALL PARKING LOT. IT COST MY INSURANCE COMPANY 600.00 AND I AM SURE THAT THIS WILL IMPACT MY INSURANCE COSTS. I RECENTLY HEARD THAT THE GONVERNMENT WAS LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AND GM HAD DONE A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I AM FRUSTRATED WITH GM AND CURRENTLY HAVE THIS TRUCK FOR SALE AND WILL BE CONTACTING THEM TO REQUEST THAT THEY FIX IT. IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPAIR IT THEN I WILL BE CONSIDERING TAKING THEM TO COURT TO RECOVER THE COST MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HOPEFULLY KEEP MY INSURANCE FROM INCREASING. ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER FROM YOU WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
SINCE LAST SUMMER, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS ON MY 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA. WHILE STOPPING, THE ANTIL-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED ON ALL SURFACES (EVEN ON SMOOTH, DRY, PAVEMENT) BELOW 10MPH WHICH INCRESASES STOPPING DISTANCE.
