1998 chevy silverado k1500 brake issue: while braking at low speeds (20-10 mph) the abs will engage, increasing stopping distance. On some occasions the pedal will become very firm and will require pumping to disengage the abs. On other occasions the pedal will be soft, going to the floor, while abs is engaged. A clear safty issue. A recall should be considered since many of these vehicles exist on the road today.
