1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2009

Component: service brakes, hydraulic details: the abs pulsates at low speeds, usually at 10 mph or slower. I've almost hit several vehicles because my '98 GMC sierra wouldn't stop. I see where they had a recall on 99 and newer trucks, but they need to go back further. This happens everytime I go to slow down. GMC refuses to acknowledge problem prior to 1999.
