Brake failure.
Antilock brakes were target of recall and the required service was performed in 2005. Vehicle is currently exhibiting the same conditions the recall was intended to fix, antilock brakes activating at slow speeds when not necessary. The noise produced when the antilock brakes are activates was produced at highway speeds yesterday when the brake pedal was not touched. The vehicle did not reduce speed. I am concerned about a total brake failure and have contacted Chevrolet.
