2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

(1) ON SATURDAY MARCH 5TH, 2005 WE WERE PULLING MY 2001 CHEVROLET EXTENEDED CAB 4X4 OUT OF THE MUD. (2) THE FAILURE IS THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE PULLING THE TRUCK OUT OF THE MUD AND IT CAUSED MY TRUCK TO CRASH INTO THE 2004 HUMMER SUV THAT WAS PULLING MY CHEVROLET OUT OF THE MUD. THE BRAKES BECAME TOTALLY DISABLED WHILE PULLING THE TRUCK. THE PEDAL WAS SO HARD AND DID NOT MOVE. I HAD BOTH LEGS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE VERY LUCKY THAT NOBODY GOT HURT AND THE ONLY DAMAGES WERE TO MY TRUCK. I AM REQUESTING SOME REPAIR ASSISTANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS BE MADE TO ALLOW ME TO DISABLE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WHEN NEEDED TO PREVENT THESE TYPES OF ACCIDENTS AND INJURY. (3) TO DATE THE FAILURE IS NOT FIXABLE AND I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE DAMAGED PARTS ON MY CHEVROLET TRUCK. I WILL WAIT ON A RESPONSE FOR THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH MY REPAIRS. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED A REPORT TO THE NHTSA FOR THIS EXACT SAME VEHICLE AND HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING CONCERNING IT! *AK
