SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 SILVERADO 1500 PICK-UP TRUCK ON DRY PAVEMENT, AS I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN GOING LESS THAN ABOUT 10 MPH, I TRIED TO BRAKE. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AND ALL I COULD FEEL WAS A ROLLING SENSATION WHEN I WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. LUCKILY, I HAD TIME TO LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUSH DOWN AGAIN, THIS TIME THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND I STOPPED INCHES FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THERE WERE NO UNUSUAL EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN MY TRUCK. THE SYSTEM WOULD FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE FAILURE IS THAT THE SYSTEM ENGAGES UNNECESSARILY AT LOW SPEEDS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO STOP WHEN DESIRED. IT WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES DAILY, AND THE ONLY CRASH I DID NOT AVOID WAS INTO A CHAIN LINK FENCE, WHICH DID NOT CAUSE DAMAGE. HOWEVER, THERE WERE SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. THE CORRECTIVE ACTION THAT I TOOK WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THE CORRECTIVE ACTION THAT MY DEALER SUGGESTED WAS TO SPEND $500 REPLACING THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. HE SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO, AND THAT MY PROBLEM WOULD ONLY GET WORSE. GM HAS ISSUED A TSB ON THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT SAFETY RECALL. I FEEL THAT SINCE I HAVE LURCHED INTO BUSY INTERSECTIONS, LURCHED FORWARD IN CROSSWALKS, AND COME CLOSE TO CRASHING INTO OTHER VEHICLES WHILE PARKING, THIS SHOULD BE REGARDED AS A SAFETY ISSUE.*AK
