| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Chevy silverado z71 4x4 in november 2005, i had an accident due to the abs not functioning correctly, while pulling into a parking space lightly applying my brakes the abs started to chatter and i could not stop fast enough and hit a light poll with the right side fender and bumper. i got out to look to see why i slid, but the surface was clean and dry. i was puzzled, on the drive home it happened again this time coming to a stop and again lightly applying the brakes the abs shuttered, this time stopping into cross intersection traffic. i was now scared and the slower i drove the worse it was, i approached a school zone in my neighborhood and a child ran accross the street and again i braked but i could not stop quick enough and struck this child, not seriously but enough to knock him down. i got home parked the truck and have not driven it since. i have not taken it to the shop because last year i spent a lot of money at the chevy dealer getting a complete brake job, and several service items costing thousands and i was just tapped out and i figured i would wait till i get some money. i heard the other night on the news about a recall on this very issue so i contacted my dealer and they stated that my vin number [xxx] is not included in the recall for the abs speed sensor problem.
