I have experienced the exact same situation with the ABS brakes on my 2002 Chevrolet S-10 crew cab pick-up truck as described below: Feds probe GM brakes Tuesday, May 03, 2005 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that stopping distances may increase when the brakes are applied at speeds of under 10 mph because of the buildup of corrosion. In some of the vehicles, the corrosion of salt and other cold-weather road substances led to unwanted activation of the brake system at low speeds and increased the stopping distance.

When the ABS system engaged ABS failed, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

When depressing the brakes brake pedal pulsated and pedal touched the floor. This caused the vehicle to have extended stopping distance. Consumer took vehicle to the dealership on two separate occasions, but problem recurred.

Computer chip constantly fails which causes a chain reaction of failures to occur. The truck is unreliable with various brake failures and constant towing back to the dealership. The dealership is patching the truck with minor repairs instead of actually doing a thorough inspection.
