1 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 10/24/2014

One day I went to stop on a dry road and when I was almost stop the brake pedal dropped and the abs engaged. I had the brakes inspected and all of the rotors were almost gone from rust with chunks of the rotor missing on the rear. I had all of the rotors replace with new pads and I still have the same problems with the abs engaging about 5 mph when stopping increasing my stopping distance. I have no abs light or check engine light.

2 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2010

During slow speeds, under 10 miles per hour, stopping (approaching stop signs, traffic lights, other vehicle traffic, etc. ) the abs kicks on without warning making braking very difficult. The vehicle has no abs warning light on. Much more pressure must be applied to the brake pedal in order to overcome the abs and come to a complete stop. Makes driving the truck much more dangerous and has a large potential for a vehicle accident. My opinion is that this issue should be a vehicle recall item. I live in the snow belt where much sand and salt is spread on the roads.

3 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2008

2004 Chevrolet siverado abs light on making a humming noise, taking to dealer tomorrow.

4 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2005

Faulty abs braking with 2004 chevy silverado since time of purchase, low speed braking results in pulsing and unsafe stopping distance on dry pavement. I have 40,000 miles on this 2004 truck and have had 2 full brake jobs (rotors and pads, and had the rotors turned once) I mostly use the truck for commuting without much braking (highway miles). I have never had the abs light come on, yet the brakes are dangerous. The dealership I purchased from simply said gm went with rear drum brakes the next year to make it better, with no service bulletin or recall created. Do I have any solution or recourse for this costly and dangerous braking system?.
