Description of the problem | when operating vehicle at slow speed and attempting to stop anti lock brakes engage and increased stopping distance is required. This vehicle was recalled for same problem in 2005. I made an attempt at my local gmc dealer to remedy this continuing problem. However, i was informed that general motors would only make one attempt to remedy issue and that i already had used that. The dealer representative stated that i could pull the fuse on the abs and the vehicle would perform stopping without the aid of abs and would stop normally in dry environment, without the assistance of anti lock brakes. I feel this is a design problem and is a tremendous safety issue. I did take vehicle to another mechanic who drove vehicle in his parking lot and the problem occurred to him almost causing a crash in his lot. *jb |
