1999 GMC Suburban Brakes Problems

“The anit-lock brakes on my 1999 Gmc Suburban 4x4 come on every time I coast to a slow stop, making stopping a very tricky situation.

Our trustworthy mechanic new of the recall and also assumed our car was involved. It was the same exact problem that was reported in the news and on the internet.
