I HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE ABS SYSTEM FAILS TO STOP MY VEHICLE IN ALL TYPES OF NORMAL SITUATIONS WHICH HAS ALREADY LED TO ONE ACCIDENT. THIS WAS MY FIRST ACCIDENT EVER AND THANKS TO MY DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES I AM SURE THIS WONT BE THE LAST ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM WILL FREEZE UP IF SO MUCH AS A PEBBLE VIBRATION IS FELT, OR STOPPING ON A COMPLETELY SMOOTH AND CLEAN ROAD NORMALLY. THE SCARY THING IS, I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY BRAKES ARE GOING TO FAIL, AND SINCE THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN BETWEEN A SMOOTH ROAD OR A POTHOLE DISABLING THE BRAKES I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN MY OWN VEHICLE. I HAVE ROLLED THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, ROLLED THROUGH STOP SIGNS, AND HAD ONE ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE. I BELEIVE THAT THE CHEVROLET COMPANY NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATLY, FOR THE LIABILITY AND SAFTY OF ALL CONSUMERS. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS IN THE CHEVROLET SILVERADOS FROM 1999 TO CURRENT, I HAVE MET SEVERAL AND THEY WERE ALL TOLD THEY HAVE NO PROBELMS WITH THERE VEHICLES EITHER. WE ARE WAITNG FOR CHEVROLET TO CORRECT THIS FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. *AK
