The antilock brakes failed to allow vehicle to stop. Abs engaged itself on dry pavement at low speed. After trying to repeat the problem, I found it occured intermittently; and if it did it was while braking at 7 mph. The only way to stop the vehicle in abs "mode" is firmly press pedal to floor and allow 3 times the stopping distance. I have since removed the abs fuse and the truck stops normally.

My1999 Chevrolet Silverado 4wd had 48,00 miles on it when problems started. In good weather on dry smooth roads my abs would engage while I was stopping or slowing in a normal manner. Even though this was somewhat surprising I did not feel that the stopping distance was being compromised. Then an incident occured while my wife and I were turning into a parking space at a retail store. As I was turning into the parking space I applied the brakes to solw the vehicle and it felt like I had no brakes, the pedal was very hard to push, felt like it would not move like it was stuck, and there was no braking action. I immediately believed that I was going to strike the vehicle ahead of me and continued to push the brake pedal with greater force. The result is that all of a sudden the brake moved forward and the antilock brakes engaged. The truck stopped before I struck the other vehicle. A good mechanic explained that his experience with chevry truck abs throwing false signals was that the sensors were probably dirty and needed cleaned. As a simple check of the abs I removed the 60 amp fuse for the antilock brake system. My brakes work very well now and I have not had a problem. I have not scheduled an appointment to get the problem fixed and after reading that your organization is now conducting an investigation into problems with Chevrolet truck antilock brake failures I intend to leave the system as it is now until you finish your investigation. Some information on my background. I am 54 years of age, a retired law enforcement officer,26 years service, having reached the rank of chief deputy/undersheriff. I have owned, worked on, and built old cars since I was a teenager.
