What owners wrote
When applying the ABS brakes, the brakes locked up, causing a collision in which the driver's side air bag did not deploy in frontal impact.
On 10/03/02 I had a chevy truck [xxx] repaired for low speed ABS engagement, (under ext warr). In sept of 2005, I again started experiencing low speed ABS engagement. This time since it was out of warranty, I had it repaired at an independent shop. It occurred first at 51,409 mi and the next time at 70,000 mi. This could prove to be a real pain if this problem is going to resurface every 20,000 miles. Updated 07/17/2012
