Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While riding with a friend in his 2001 silverado pickup, i noticed what seemed to be a grinding sound from the brakes just before the truck came to a stop. about a week ago, around nov. 1st. my 2003 gmc sierra pickup started making the same grinding sound, (anti-lock activation). this happens on clear, dry pavement with no reason for the anti-lock system to activate. this problem does not occur every time i stop and i have not been able to make this happen during intentional hard stops. i notice that my stopping distance is extended when this happens. it is my understanding that gm has had a recall in canada for this issue but has not had enough complaints in the us to initiate a recall. my truck has 37,000 miles on it at this time. *jb
