Silverado LT 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles

I bought this truck new and took it back to the dealer the day I picked it up to complain of the ABS engaging too easy as well as too often. To this day, the dealers swear nothing is wrong. Since when do front brakes outlast rears 2:1 ? The ABS activates on clean dry pavement almost daily. I have also had problems where I am convinced the front brakes are not working at all (replaced front brakes for the first time at 105,000 miles!!!) and I think these problems are inter-related. I feel the rears are locking up because the fronts are not working, which is telling the computer we are going into a slide and must engage the ABS so the fronts can do some work. Other than this, it has been an outstanding vehicle, I am just concerned because the brake system is more than a creature feature, however the benefit is I am never late for any appointments anymore since I can't friggin' STOP!
