I OWN A 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO C1500. I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM, WHERE DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING (IE STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR PARKING) THE ABS KICKS ON AND GREATLY INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE. I AM AWARE THAT GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM IN EASTERN CANADA, AND THAT YOU ARE CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION IN TO THE MATTER IN THE US. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT ME TO QUESTION OR INSPECT MY TRUCK PLEASE DO. THANK YOU. MIKE MEEHAN. *JB

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
