Vehicle looses power and brakes go out then dies,doesn't matter speed. If slowing down and press the brakes, the locks, lights, and security goes crazy. This is dangerous as it is in intersections and caution for collision. The vehicle has to be off for a time frame and restarts fine and can go. Happened when coming from ramp and in middle of road with semi truck coming down by us.

The abs system engages at low speeds when stopping on dry pavement. Generally the condition is limited to speeds under 10 mph when parking or stopping at stop signs. This condition disengaged the breaks and caused the vehicle to move beyond the traffic control signal at a four way intersection, nearly resulting in a serious side impact collision.

Anti lock brakes intermittently but suddenly engaging at low speed stops, on dry pavement, such as when slowing down for a stop light.

When coming to a stop on clean dry pavement, the anti-lock brakes begin pulsating, tripling your stopping distance.

Unwanted abs activation on my 2004 Avalanche which started at 40,000 miles. The problem is constant and could be dangerous. There is currently a recall on the 1998- 2002 for the same problem but not on 03-04 etc. . I know of an 03 with the same problems and he hit a pole. I contacted gm and a pat o'brien dealership in medina ohio and they will not repair this problem unless I pay for. It effects trucks only in the snow belt areas, I live in ohio. I hope you can help me with this.

Antilock brakes are engaging during stops on dry roads. Causing vehicle to pull to the right.

Abs brake went out about 8 years ago being told by some mechanics no point in repairing it same thing will happen again seems that is a problem with this vechile when it went out I had 50 000 miles and the 36000 mile and 3 year warranity has already passed I heard a few weeks ago that you all had a recall but I was never notified the vechile had been parked at a mall when I started to leave their the light and warning alarm came on.

I am unable to drive my 2004 chevy Avalanche due to the hydraulic brake system going out which makes the power steering go out as well. Prior to the system going completely out it occasionally it would be hard to turn the steeri ng wheel upon starting up the vehicle I contacted the recall department in referenced to this but they stated that even though my vehicle is the year and model fitting the recall my VIN does not fall in the batch. Why is this when I am having the problem which almost caused me to have an accident due to the brakes going out. Can this be rectified. I had the problem repaired but it started again.
