description: MY ABS HAS BEEN ACTING UP, I.E. ENGAGING WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. TONIGHT, I WAS FORCED TO COME TO A FAST STOP AND PUSHED THE BRAKE IN. THE ABS ENGAGED, BUT THEN STOPPED AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THEREFORE I HAD NO BRAKES. I REAR-ENDED ANOTHER CAR WITH A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL DRIVING. SHE ENDED UP BEING TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF THERE ARE OTHER CASES SUCH AS THIS, INCLUDING BRAKE FAILURE AND ABS PROBLEMS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. I HAVE 106,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD MINUTE BRAKING ISSUES FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO. I HOPE THAT IS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IT CAN BE ADDRESSED. THAT WAY NO MORE SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS GET HURT, AND NO MORE 26 YEAR OLD MALES (MYSELF) HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM OR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS DUE TO THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. AS FAR AS THE QUESTION ABOUT OEM, IF THAT MEANS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT, THEN NO, ALL MY EQUIPMENT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN ALTERED IN ANY WAY.*AK
