My 1999 chevy Tahoe 4x4 starting having the abs system act up starting a couple of days ago. I called chevy about a recall that is on the website for 99 Tahoe and they said that my VIN number was not in the effected range of 99's. The problem is that at low speeds around 5-8 mph the abs system kicks on and I can't stop the truck almost getting into many accidents with it. This is a big safety problem now and they wont fix it. Now I need the truck fixed and its doing the same thing the recall states its doing. Its says there was a problem with the wheel sensors. Please help me with this since they won't. This truck is very dangerous to drive now that there is snow and I don't think I should have to pay for something like this. Please help thanks for your time.

About 2 months ago the anti-lock brakes on my Tahoe started activating as I was slowing down or stopping on clear/dry roadways. It took longer to stop, and the first few times it happened I was fortunate enough to stop without smashing into the car in front of me, or that there was no car in the intersection when I went past the stop sign a few feet. I was told by a mechanic friend that it was caused by a dirty or defective abs sensor. He also told me that gm does not sell the sensor seperately and you have to buy the entire wheel hub, which costs around $500 per wheel. I have not had it repaired yet due to the cost. I simply allow myself more time to stop. I was told that I could disable the anti-lock brakes. I am hesitant to do that because I feel I have better control with the anti-lock brakes than conventional brakes with the weather in the area where I live.
