1 Anti-lock Brakes Fail problem

Failure Date: 02/01/1999

The anti-lock brake failure started approx. Feb/March in 1999 and was reported to dealership without help of resolution. The brakes have acted up numerous times but I have been able to avoid a collision to date. The are still not fixed because the dealership has told me that it would cost approx. $500-700 depending on the problem. At the time the first news report of a recall on the s-10 vehicles were made, my vehicle was only 2,000 miles out of warranty. Now it is 32,000 because I was driving 40,000 miles a year to work and home. Also, the news reports did say my model year of 1997 in one of the reports. I need help. This should not be happening. The transmission or clutch failure happened yesterday. It's in the shop for determination and repair. Is there a recall on the transmissions also? I care for my vehicles with regular maintenance through dewey's auto center, a goodyeard dealer in fenton, michigan 810/629-2278. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.
