Consumer Description

2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1/2 TON 4WD. 114M. ABS ACTIVATION UNDER 6 MPH......... NO LOCKUP, NO REASON. ESCALATED TO TOTAL BRAKE LOSS WHEN THIS CONDITION STARTS. LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AT SIMILAR COMPLAINTS; PRIMARILY FOUND: RUSTED AND LEAKING BRAKELINES, OR MALFUNCTIONING ABS CURED BY REMOVING THE FUSE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. CHECKED FOR FLUID LOSS, THERE WAS NONE. CHECKED POWER BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER; FOUND NO PROBLEMS. REMOVED THE FUSE FOR THE ABS, PROBLEM FIXED, BRAKES FUNCTION NORMALLY. A BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD NOT FAIL TO A CONDITION OF NO BRAKES WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS......... GOOGLE THIS AND YOU WILL FIND NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS/LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. *TR
