Anti-lock brakes were engaging at low speeds on dry pavement, ie: Slowing down, stopping. Brakes failed at a low speed with a hard pedal. Ran into a building air conditioning unit causing minor damage. GMC removed, cleaned and lubricated the front speed sensors for the anti-lock brakes.

2001 Chevy Silverado Z71 4X4 ABS is being activated at low speed causing loss of braking

- Ayer, MA, USA

The antilock brakes activate at low speeds on my 2001 Chevrolet Silverado and I read an article in the newspaper that the NHTSA was looking into this. This has occurred many times and the worst was when I was travelling with my wife and daughter and came upon a stop light. I applied the brakes and was almost to a stop when the antilock brakes activated. Luckily there wasn't a vehicle ahead of me as I couldn't stop as I should have and ended up part way into the intersection. I plan on contacting my mechanic to see what is required to get this repaired.

Vehicle was take to taylor Chevrolet on 12/27/04 to be diagnosed. This resulted in replacing the left front hub assembly because sensor was defective and could not be cleaned or replaced. Cost of repair $463 with only 35,506 miles on the vehicle.

ABS brakes are not working on my truck. Huge cost to fix them. Currently I have pulled the fuse on the ABS brakes. With only 60,000 miles I shouldn't have to spend over $1,000 to have brakes fixed. ABS brakes kick in on totally dry roads at slow conditions and cause you to possibly hit someone.

While coming to a stop at 6 mph or less, ABS activated for no reason. No ABS light on dash, no skidding, 66% loss of brake pedal stroke. This occured frequently, about 80% of the time. Many close calls while stopping in traffic.

I have a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado. The ABS brakes sensors failed almost causing me to rearend a vehicle. There is a service bulletin to GM dealers on cleaning or replacing the sensors. My truck only has 38,000 miles and the dealer wants $140 to repair what I think is a defect in design or location of the sensor.

I recently came to a stop sign and could not stop the truck. As I crossed the intersection I thought I was going to die! fortunatly, the driver from the other vehicle was alert and avoided what could have been a serious situation. The ABS started to pulse under dry conditions when the truck slowed down to less than 5mph, but continued to roll for another 20-30 feet before it came to a stop. ABS should be a safety feature - not an unreliable device that can get someone killed. My truck is over 36,000 miles so it is no longer under warranty. I am told that it will cost somewhere between $500 -$1000 to fix, but there was no guarantee that this would not happen again. At this time I have pulled the ABS 60A fuse and I feel much safer without the GM ABS system. This is a serious GM problem and I can't believe that there isn't a fix, recall, or consumer notification. I won't believe this is the first time this has happen, since the service managers are familiar with this problem. After pulling the ABS fuse, I don't like the ABS and brake indicators lite up on my instrument panel. I would like to disable the ABS, so that the lights no longer light up on my panel. Can someone please send me instructions on how to disable the ABS properly.
