Brake pedal vibrated. Once vehicle would not stop, causing it to run into a ditch. Dealer had been contacted. Pedal pulsates when it shouldn't. consumer has gone off road several times to stop the vehicle.
When the consumer applied the brakes, the ABS activated, however the vehicle did not stop and subsequently hit a parked car.
I own a 2000 Chevy Silverado 4X4. I have a continuing problem with the anti lock brake system. The truck has a problem stopping at slow speeds. When I depress the brake pedal at slow speed to stop the anti locks start to release as if the wheels were locking up. This causes me to either go thru the stop sign or to come very close to running into what ever is in front of me. The brakes eventually stop the truck but I have had some close calls. The truck has been to the dealer and had a right front wheel sensor replaced. This helped at first. The problem has started to surface again. I will have to make another visit to the dealer, which is very costly, $300 + per visit. This problem occurs without warning is very dangerous. Does the nhtsb plan on doing anything about this problem? I know of a coworker that has had the same problem and almost wreaked his truck. Thanks et.
Vehicle displays intermittent brake failure at very slow speed. Brake pedal feels normal. Consumer can hear ABS system activating, but vehicle will not slow down. Dealer cannot remedy the problem.
