SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ABS SENSOR ACTIVATION AT SLOW SPEED. THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP NORMALLY WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AT SLOW SPEED. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY GM AND NHTSA. RECALLS HAVE BEEN DONE BUT NOT IN MY STATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. DESPITE GM SAYING THAT THIS ISSUE IS LIMITED TO 20 STATES AND CANADA, THIS IS NOT TRUE. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET HAS SHOWN THIS DEFECT IS NATIONWIDE. ABS WAS ADDED TO VEHICLES TO HELP PREVENT CRASHES. THIS DEFECT CAUSES THEM. *TR
