2005 GMC CANYON, 4WD. BRAKES LOCK UP AFTER SITTING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OR WHEN WET. ABS DOES ACTIVATE, HEAR THE NOISE, REAR BRAKES LOCK. WENT TO SOME OF THE FORUMS FOR THESE VEHICLES, FIND OUT IT IS COMMON. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER (BOUGHT IT USED AS CERTIFIED GM) AS THE PARKING BRAKE STUCK ONLY A WEEK AFTER I HAD THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLACED THE CABLE, TOLD ME I WAS SET. I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME, BRAKES WERE VERY "TOUCHY" BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER A FEW WEEKS LATER (THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ME) AND THEY CHARGED ME $100.00 AND SAID THEY ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES, NOT UNDER THE WARRANTY. I CALLED THEM AND HAD A BLOW OUT ARGUMENT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER TO NO AVAIL AS THE BRAKES WERE STILL TOUCHY. I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THEM UNTIL TODAY, WHEN IN THE RAIN I HAD TO MAKE A PANIC STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY LOCKED AT 65 MPH, TRUCK STAYED STRAIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO LET OFF FAST ENOUGH. LUCKILY THE GUY BEHIND ME WAS NOT FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE, OR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER ME. SITUATION IS GETTING WORSE, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 35+ YEARS AND NEVER HAD A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. *TR
