“Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock. My pickup truck 2002 Chevrolet silverado 2500 hd experiences unwanted antilock brake system (ABS) activation at speeds less than 20 MPH. Same as NHTSA recall # 05v37900. That recall is for only silverados not silverado 2500 hd. There is a current problem that exists on my truck and should be looked into. I have lived in michigan the whole time I have owned this truck. The brakes pulse at lower speeds and I have to allow for extra stopping distance to make sure I don't hit someone else. Same issue as NHTSA recall 05v37900. …”
