Consumer Description

OVER THE PAST 2-3 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATING AT LOW SPEED ON DRY PAVEMENT. WHEN THIS FIRST BEGAN TO HAPPEN I WAS NARROWLY ABLE TO AVOID REARENDING THE CAR AHEAD OF ME, IN ONE CASE ONLY BY APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAVE A 1999 GMC K1500 SUBURBAN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I NOW ALLOW EXTRA ROOM FOR BRAKING. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWED THAT GM HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 1999 T0 2001 MODELS, BUT WHEN I CALED GMC TO ASK WHY I HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR
