The abs on my 2001 chevy silverado stepside (extended cab) kicks in at low speed stops. I have come close to hitting things in the past because it hinders the truck's stopping capabilities. I have complained to my dealership in the past, but no codes ever show up on the computer. For whatever reason, no info about my brake complaints was ever entered on my records. The truck has done this since the first month I had it (I bought it brand new). I finally found out that there was a recall for this problem, but not for the south. I called Chevrolet and asked about the recall and was told that my truck had too many miles now to do anything about it and that the recall wasn't for my area and that since it wasn't on my service records there wasn't anything that could be done. Do I have any recourse in this matter (my truck just turned 101k miles)?.
