| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 cheverolet silverado 1500 4wd pickup. it is an extended cab shortbed, with the 5.3l engine and automatic transmission. the abs brakes engage when applying the brakes at slow speeds. the truck then continues to move and is extremely difficult to stop. when the abs engages it is always at low speeds (less than 10mph) and does so regardless of driving conditions and road surface conditions. the stopping distance is dangerously increased. i have not had an accident yet, but come very close. i have researched this problem and learned that it is very common. gm issued a technical service bulletin in the us,tsb#03-05-25-007a) and a recall in canada for this exact problem. the problem is due to debri and or rust on the front wheel speed sensors. i plan to unplug my abs fuse until i am able to perform the procedure listed in the technical service bulletin. i find it very negligent of gm to not notify owners of models affected by this problem and not encourage their dealer network to notify owners of vehicles affected by this problem. failing to stop in time, even at low speeds, can easily cause property and vehicle damage, personal injury and death. thank you, scott bean *tr |
