Anti lock brakes activation at low speed before coming to a nornal stop. Called Chevy since I noticed a recall for this same problem. They stated my vehicle was not covered under the recall.
Anti-lock brakes are activating unnecessarily. GM has a recall for 1999-2002 vehicles for same problem caused by corrosion in wheel sensor. Saw the recall in newspaper. I bought this vehicle at auction. Originally was used by Vermont department of transportation, apparently it has the same defect as the 1999-2002 vehicles.
1998 Chevy Blazer, brakes are slipping when coming to a complete stop, or moving under 10 mph. I understand there is a recall for GM SUV's ( NHTSA campaign number: 05V379000) and believe based on my experience the Chevy Blazer should be included in the recall.
The anti-lock braking system is activating prematurely with speeds under 15mph. The brakes are making a humming noise, and doesn't stop at all. This problem has gone on for 5 months. The consumer had the ABS sensor replaced on the front at a private mechanic shop, two years ago. The vehicle is a four drive.

Caliper are connecting to the brake pads. Vehicle will pull to oneside, right, if it locks, and it rips to side/ it's pulling. Brakes high noise as a warning that's it's going bad.

Any sharp turn at low speeds activates the ABS. I.e turning into a parking space. The dealer said it was because the tires were old. The tire store says the tires are fine. I have read on the web about others having this problem too.
Anti-lock brakes are not working properly. No warning lights come on. When brake pedal is pressed hard, the vehicle does not stop well and a loud noise is heard from the lmaster cylinder area.
