Comments:
I read where NHTSA has started an investigation into this problem. I
have a 1998 Astro awd pasasenger van with the same symptoms (started at
50,000 miles, currently has 67,000 miles. I pulled the fuse so I at
least have brakes at slow speeds. I nearly ran into my garage and am
concerned becauase we live near railroad tracks. Have rolled into
intersections beacause of this safety problem. Abs engages at slow speed
which allows vehicle to keep going (renders to brajes useless) there is
a TSB by gm on this shown below. My concern is that this vehicle is not
listed in your investigation. This is a serious safety issue. Brakes - antilock brake activation at low speeds

this bulletin is being revised to change model information. Please
discard corporate bulletin number 02-05-25-006 (section 05 - brakes). Condition
some customers may comment on abs activation at low speeds usually below
8 km/h (5 mph). Upon investigation, the technician will find no dtcs
set. Cause
the cause of this condition may be an increased air gap between the
wheel speed sensor and the hub reluctor ring due to rust and debris
built up on the sensor mounting surface. Correction.
