I recently bought a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado z71 extended cab. A few days after I purchased the truck I was in traffic at speeds ranging between 2-10 mph. Almost everytime I pressed the brakes to come to a stop the abs system would kick in and my truck would not stop for a few extra feet almost causing me to rear end the vehicle in front of me. Now I contacted chevy/gm and they said there is a recall for the problem but unfortunately my truck under the VIN # I gave them did not qualify for the recall. They said I'm sorry but you'll have to get it fixed on your own. I was shocked at the response they gave me. I cant afford the close to $1000 repair and I still have to use the truck for work, but I know I won't buy another gm and I guess by the time the recall gets extended to my truck someone will either get hurt or killed do to gm not stepping up and taking no responsibility. Ever since then it happens often enough where im scared.

I saw a news article about gm vehicles having problem with the abs at low speeds. I have a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, and I have to admit my vehicle has had this problem. The problem is only at low speeds. It is very concerning to me, especially when I want to stop and the vehicle will not allow me to.

While driving under normal driving conditions, meaning fair weather and dry road surface, the service brakes were applied rather firmly. A vehicle had stopped suddenly to avoid a collision and had done so rather abruptly. After the service brakes were applied, the anti-lock brake system disengaged the brakes repetitively and did not allow the vehicle to slow sufficiently. Driver had to swerve to avoid a collision. Luckily, there was no significant property damage (under $200 so a police officer who observed the incident refused to file a report), and there was no personal injury. I called a local gm service department and asked as to the time frame of the recall for this issue. I had seen a reference to it on the national news in September. The service advisor told me that there was no recall on the anti-lock brakes. I told the service advisor there was a notice on the national news in reference to that exact issue. He then changed his story and claimed that it was only a recall if I lived in the northern states where the dot uses salt on the highways. I live in tennessee where the local dot uses excessive salt on the highway at the mere mention of a possible dusting of snow. And yet, the "recall" is not in effect in my state. I decided to look for myself at the recall notice and found this farce of a recall notice. I must ask, why is a manufacturing defect that could cause a major malfunction in the safety mechanisms of a vehicle only looked at in certain states? the answer I expect to get is that the dot does not use salt on the roads in the south, a blatant lie. So, as for the corrective action, I can do nothing. The service department says there is nothing wrong with my brakes, the anti-lock brake system, or my truck. The service advisor then told me that I should learn how to drive and to have a nice day.

The contactreceived NHTSA recall 05v379000 concerning abs. He took the vehicle to the dealership, and had the work performed.

According to the manufacturer, the recall did not cover this, and it will have to be replaced at the contact's expense.

Consumer experiences a problem at speeds of ten miles and less when applying brake pressure. This felt like false activation of the abs system. There were no brakes when this occurred.

The consumer has not taken truck to a dealership for diagnosis of this problem.

(1) driving in normal conditions. Dry roads. Normal speeds. (2) when having to stop, the anti-lock brakes kick on, keeping my 2000 Silverado from being able to stop. I have to let up on the brakes and re-apply in order to prevent myself from hitting the car in front of me or rolling through a stop sign or light. (3) nothing has been done. I have read that a lot of people have been removing the fuse so the anti-lock brakes don't even work. This is not a proper solution.

When trying to stop at slow speeds the brake pedal kicks back like the abs is engaged. I have to take my foot off and re-apply the brakes to stop. This is a very dangerous situation.

The anti lock brakes kicked in at any time whenever the brake was hit. This reduced the braking power. Vehicle has not been taken to the dealership, and consumer has not contacted the manufacturer. This problem started approximately two weeks ago. This mostly occurred at low speeds, although the vehicle has not been driven much because consumer was too nervous to drive it.

Caller said the abs come on when hitting the brakes. It does not happen every time, but happens a lot. Dealer cleaned the sensor, and it was working correctly. Manufacturer said vehicle was out of warranty, and caller has to pay for it himself. The consumer stated the pedal went down to the floor and the abs activated.
