While trying to come to a stop upon entering a parking spot in front of a county health bldg. The brake pedal on my truck did not respond. The pedal went hard and the truck continued forward, I applied the brake again with the same results causing the truck to strike the building and destroy a service enterance door. I estimate my speed to have been under 5 mph since the airbag did not deploy. I believe this is the result of a deffective anti-lock brake sensor. As of today I have not been to the dealer to have the failure fixed.
Failure of antilock brakes. Brakes come on at low speeds almost causing accidents.

On several different occasions my 1999 Chevrolet silverado 1/2 ton would have a malfunction with the antilock braking system. The problem would occur when I was braking to stop at an intersection or driving into a parking space. Every time the system would have the tendency to increase in speed when applying the brake. At one time it caused very minor damage to a building. Every time it was taken in for service at the local Chevrolet dealership and cleaning was done to the antilock system. I read about the upcoming investigation into this problem and was interested to see if this will be a recall to repair the problems?.
At about 40,000 miles my abs motor under the drivers seat came on and would not turn off. Contacted dealer, they said this was a common problem and the part needed to fix it cost $900. After investigating the problem I found there were thousands of 99 chevy 1500 owners with the exact problem.
Faulty abs module; abs pump kept running after engine ignition turned off. Part 88982296.
After turning off my truck I heard the abs pump running after removing the key. I called the dealer and was informed that it was a common problem with the abs module.
When the consumer drove over 5 mph the wheel sensor kicked in and the vehicle will not stop. The consumer had the brakes serviced. The consumer stated that the sensor in the wheel bearing was reporting bad information. All brakes where replaced and the problem still existed.
The abs module failed, which caused the vehicle to experience extended stopping distance.
