1998 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

BRAKES ON MY 1998 K1500 PULSATE AND THEN GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED ABS MODULE ONCE FOR FREE THEN CHARGED ME TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. REPLACED PADS, SHOES, CALIPERS ETC. BRAKES STILL DO THIS, HAVE CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THINGS IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THIS. FROM READING OTHER ARTICLES ON THE NET I AM TOLD BY UNHOOKING THE ABS IT WILL STOP DOING THIS BUT THEN I WILL HAVE NO ABS. WHATS THE POINT IN HAVING A NEW TRUCK WHEN THE REAR END WILL LOCK UP JUST LIKE IT DOES IN MY 1982 FORD TRUCK WITH NO ABS.

1998 CHEVY 4X4 SILVERADO-- STEERING PROBLEM--- BEST DESCRIBED AS RUNNING OVER MARBLES, AS STEERING DISAPPEARS FOR A SECOND. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN ALL POSITIONS AND SPEEDS. WHEN THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING HAPPENS, YOU LOOSE CONTROL FOR THAT SPLIT SECOND. WAS TOLD BY A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THAT TRUCK AND A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED BY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAD READ NUMEROUS PEOPLES COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE. THERE APPARENTLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A 98 CHEVY SILVERADO EXT. CAB 4X4 AND I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH LOW SPEED(5-10MPH) WHERE THE ABS COMES ON AND SLOWLY AND DANGEROUSLY STOPS THE VEHICLE. I REALIZE THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS ARE THE PROBLEM, BUT IF THERE IS RECALL FOR 99-UP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE FIX THIS? THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND GETS WORSE WHEN COLD OR RAINY OUT, WINTER IS COMING AND DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM, PLEASE ADVISE. *TR
