Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 chevrolet silverado 2wd. when applying the brakes and coming to a stop, there is a pulsation. it feels as if the abs is taking over and releasing, and then reapplying the braking action, rapidly, as i come to a stop. i spoke to a gm representative about a recall that has been issued regarding this problem. the gm recall number is 05068. the representative told me that my vin number was included in the recall, but because i don't live in a "salt belt" state, my vehicle is not being recalled (i live in florida). apparently, it is the road salt that is used during the winter months that corrodes the abs wheel sensors and leads to this problem. and, although i do not live in a state that uses road salt, i do use my vehicle to tow and launch a boat in the salt water. i believe that because of this use, my vehicle should be included in the recall. *jb
