Dt: the contact owns a 1997 chevrolet pickup. A recall was being issued on GM 1999 -2002 corrosion anti lock brake sensors. The 1997 chevrolet pickups were not included in this recall. Vehicle was experiencing the same anti lock brake corrosion as the 1999-2002 recalled vehicles. Took the vehicle to the dealership, and was told that it would be $1500 to fix this problem. When stopping at less than 3 MPH had to put both feet on the brakes as hard as one could to get it to stop.
Anti lock brakes apply on dry roads with no reason. The brakes shake when being applied. I have reviewed information on your database which have this exact same complaint. I believe there are not more since the vehicles are over 5 years old and people believe it to be normal wear and tare. It is not normal. The anti locks are over sensitive.
