What owners wrote
Dt: the contact owns a 2005 GMC sierra. While driving, the vehicle would pull to the left or right under light and severe braking.. Talked to the dealership, and they said that this was normal. The contact did not feel that this was normal, it was a safety hazard. Updated 11/16/05.
I have a 2005 GMC sierra. While driving on dry roads and braking at low speeds the ABS abnormally activates with out warrant. This only happens at low speeds and has almost caused me to have several accidents. I called the GM dealer to see if there is a recall on this and they told me there was not and I could bring it in to have it looked at and repaired at my expense. I see there are other complaints here at the NHTSA for the same thing.
