Consumer Description

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS AT TIMES DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKE THE BRAKE MAKES A NOISE SOUNDING LIKE GRINDING, NOT CATCHING OR HOLDING, SLIPS AND GOES TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TO RAPIDLY ACT WITH SWIFTNESS WITHIN A SHORT TIME TO REAPPLY MY BRAKES IN HOPES THEY WORK. THE BRAKES SOMETIMES FAIL ON BUMPY ROADS, GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, COMING TO A STOP AT LOW SPEED, EVEN ON SMOOTH ROADWAYS, AT TIMES ENTERING ON-RAMPS, AND TURNING CORNERS. I HAVE BEEN GOING OVER GM'S EXPANDED RECALLS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH TRUCK AND SUV'S BRAKES THE DATE I SAW WAS 12/23/2005. CAN I GET HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM???
