Own a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd - the anti lock brake system repeatedly engaged at slow speeds, less than 10 mph when coming to a stop, making it difficult to stop. Truck was unsafe to drive ,and had to have repaired. This was the same problem that initiated a recall 05v37900 on 2002 and earlier models. This same problem was now occurring on my 2003 model , but this was not covered by any recall. My truck only has 13,000 miles. Last summer when the vehicle only had 11,000 miles the entire brake assembly area rusted , leading to replacement of all the brake assemblies and rotors. The truck was only a few months out of warranty. This vehicle has a serious rust problem, and it was making the brakes very dangerous.

Anti-lock brakes do not work properly. If I am going slow and need to stop fast the brakes are like I am on ice. I have rolled into several red lights. If I am on rough road they do not work correctly.
