I am having the same problem that the person stated about the ABS braking on her 99...even when my truck was still under warrenty the dealer said nothing was wrong and blamed it on the way I drove...like he knows how I drive!!!....I did find that their was recall on othem and the dealer said my truck was not included..in it...well it should have been and should be...doesnt matter the conditions of the road they kick in whenever they feel like it..once it happened and I slid right out into on coming traffic and I was still told nothing was wrong...I think that the dealer never cared....I have 104th on my truck now at 102th I replaced then engine due to 2 broken lifters....I also have a trannie problem while under warrenty and again the dealer refused to admit a problem and I brought it to a aaa cert. Shop and they too also refused that there was a problem...2 1/2 months after the warrenty expired I completly lost my transmission and had my children in the truck when it happened!!!..and again the shops that I went to both still wouldn't acknowledge there was a problem and said I was a problem customer!!! I complained to the warrently place and they too did nothing about.... remind me again why we have warrenties!!! this started in 2002 with these issues and the dealer refused to take back the vehicle!! and now in 2009 I still have issues with the ABS.

I'm having an ABS system problem that is the same problem that recall 05068 had. As I slow to a stop my ABS system kicks on below 10 mph but above 3 mph. When the ABS system kicks on it is a load grinding noise followed by a decrease in controllability and a pulling to the right of the vehicle. The recall 05068 only covered 2000-2002 surburban years, mine is a 1999 K2500.
