I have two problems with the ABS and brake pedal surge on my 1997 Silverado ext-cab K-1500 Z71. Under light braking conditions the brakes momentarily engage followed by short intervals of pressure/loss of pressure until the vehicle stops. I have never lost (at least until this point in time) complete brake pressure. The second problem occurs when the brake surge is not present. In this case, the ABS system activates. The brake problems occur everytime the vehicle is driven (dry and wet conditions). I have had the truck serviced twice in the past month, and my dealer cannot locate the problem. Their recommendation is to start replacing brake component by component until it is solved ($$$). their comment to me is that the rear brake system (that's the area that my dealer is focusing on) is a poor design by GM.

I currently own a 1997 Silverado ext cab fleet side. I've had my brakes serviced numerous times and it continues to pull to the left when I'm braking. Also it's very hesitant in picking up speed when passing even with major tune-ups at Chevy dealerships only to be serviced. I'm constantly purchasing front tires for my truck, with front end alignments being done often with the purchase of these tires.
