Anti-lock brake system activating when it shouldn't. While applying the brakes on dry pavement, the last 5-10 feet of braking the anti-lock brake system activates causing the vehicle to lurch forward nearly causing me, on several occasions, to rear-end verhicle in front of me - especially when towing a trailer.
While driving home from work my brake pedal went to the floor on my 2003 silverado hd2500. I crashed into the vehicle in front of me causing damage to both our vehicles. I took my vehicle into the dealership for inspection. After 1. 5 weeks there g. M finally looks at it and told me the brake operation was normal. I started to take the vehicle home and the pedal once again went to the floor. I found the service manager and the higher up person say that's normal. Now what? I cant drive this vehicle for the fear of another crash. Gm is no help.
The antilock brakes activate at low speeds without warning. They activate on dry surfaces without actual wheel 'lock-up' occurring. I have come close to collisions at intersections and also nearly rolled into an intersection when the traffic light was red in my direction with traffic proceeding at a right angle to my vehicle.
