First off, I know this is now a 14 yr old truck with ~ 137K miles, but I have had the same problem MANY others have reported since it was a fairly new truck with low mileage, whereby the antilock brake system would kick in unnecessarily at low speeds and have had more than a few "close calls" of narrowly missing rear-ending the vehicle in front of me. This reported problem is now both the "ABS" system 'yellow' light and the "Brake" system 'red' light coming on and staying on often. Sometimes it will clear if I turn the key all the way off and then restart the vehicle. Also, waiting about 20 seconds before engaging the transmission seems to help.
I have gotten an estimate (verbal only) from my mechanic of $1850 to repair the problem, but I really think the root problem has existed since the vehicle was new and should be a manufacturer recall repair based on the number of other incidents I have seen reported. This has obviously been an otherwise good vehicle and I don't expect GM to warrantee it forever, but there is an apparent problem area that has gone ignored for years here.
How much would it cost to recall every 14 yr. old Chevy truck with ABS on the road today? It couldn't be too much, as I doubt there are many left. A number of them likely expired prematurely in wrecks caused by this braking problem.
