I have a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 hd four wheel drive that is not stopping properly at low speeds. The abs system is letting go at slow speeds causing the brakes to let go. This could be a very serious situation at a crosswalk with children. I reported the problem at the local dealer and they said it was a common occurance due to rust affecting the abs brake sensors. The cost of the sensors was 135. 00 each plus about three hors labour total close to $600. 00. I think this shoud be a recall issue as it is not cuased by wear.
