What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that both of his children (4 and 6 years old) were able to turn the key in the ignition and place the vehicle in reverse, without depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle rolled backwards and crashed into a tree while the passenger side door was open. The contact stated that there was approximately $14,000 worth of damage to the vehicle.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) activates when not needed during low speed (<10 MPH) stopping. This suddenly increases stopping distances in low speed braking situations. This is the exact same problem described in NHTSA campaign number 05v37900 issued for 1999-2002 chevrolet silverados for which a recall was issued on 8/30/2005.
