What owners wrote
I was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle, a larger GMC dually. I was traveling at 55 MPH when the other vehicle entered my lane at near or equal speed and struck me head on. I had time to react by stomping the brakes but I seemed to not slow down. I had no where to turn all possible lanes of avoidance were blocked with smaller cars. The airbags did not deploy... It is my understanding that by law cars/light trucks are required by law to have airbags if they are 1998 or newer.
2000 chevrolet silverado 1/2 ton 4wd. 114m. ABS activation under 6 MPH......... No lockup, no reason. Escalated to total brake loss when this condition starts. Looked on the internet at similar complaints; primarily found: rusted and leaking brakelines, or malfunctioning ABS cured by removing the fuse for the ABS system. Checked for fluid loss, there was none. Checked power booster and master cylinder; found no problems. Removed the fuse for the ABS, problem fixed, brakes function normally.
