Driving at slow speed in dry weather coming up to a line of traffic at a stop light. Applying the brakes the anti-lock mechanism kicked in and my braking ability was severely decreased to the point I almost hit the vehicle in front of me. I have not replaced and parts yet, but I have discovered recall 05V379000 that seems to be the culprit. For some reason Minnesota is not included as a salt belt state. Believe me, there's plenty of salt applied to the roads in Minnesota during winter.

Anti lock brakes engage as truck is coming to a stop, for no apparent reason. This causes an increase in stopping distance and some loss of vehicle control. This is also very disturbing to the driver who feels they do not have complete control of the vehicle. Same problem that 1500 series Chevy Silverado are having.

1) brakes activating anti-skid when braking at low speeds with extremely unpredictable stopping !!!!!!! 2) brakes failed to stop vehicle four times: In garage, in parking lot, in work place parking lot and at intersection. 3) taken to harold Chevrolet 10/14/05 to have checked out and repaired. Found out there was a campaign for this problem. Harold inspected and cleaned the front wheel speed sensors and mounting surfaces. On 10/17/05 brakes failed again even after having taken the vehicle in for repair. Vehicle did not stop at intersection!!!! took vehicle back to harold. As a good will jester they replaced one right hub and speed sensor assembly for our safe driving. Received a recall letter upon returning home 10/17/05.
The contact received recall 5V379000 concerning the ABS sensors on 2001 Chevrolet Silverado on 10-17-05. The contact had the rear brakes, pads and rotors replaced in December 2004 at a cost of $300. The truck had approximately 42,000 miles on it. The brake shop service man told the contact the rear brakes had not reached the sensors at the time he had them replaced in 12-2004. The contact talked to a dealer, who told him they would honor the part of the recall about the cleaning of the sensors. The contact would like to be reimbursed for the $300 he paid back in 12-04.
Antilock brakes engaged without warning and required excessive pedal pressure and/or release re-engage to stop vehicle at slow speed. Critical to stop at slow speed since steep driveway enters busy local college traffic and is blind until very end of driveway. There were several instances when unable to stop until front of vehicle was extended into the path of oncoming vehicles. Right hub and wheel speed sensor was replaced under warranty. Left side hub and wheel speed sensor was replaced the following year at my expense when it failed in the same manner. The dealer did not show me the parts or offer any sort od extended coverage. Both should have been replaced together. I am unaware if during the replacement procedure any procedures were taken to prevent this from recurring in the future.
On several occasions, my Chevy Silverado almost failed to stop at slow speeds because the ABS was engaging on dry pavement. Approx 12 times it almost caused me to crash in parking lots.
