“Over the past several years we have had problems with the ABS brakes on our 1995 silverado pickup. On a slow stop such as a light or stop sign, it very often will not stop at first. We have had them checked and all the sensors have been replaced, but it seems to be getting more frequent. I have read the recall on the 1999-2002 gm trucks for the ABS salt corrosion problem and it sounds like ours has the same problem. I put the incident date as today, however this is an ongoing problem we have had for several years.*jb”Owner report · Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Aug 2005
