The abs on my '04 colorado is activating at low or medium speeds without applying the brake. If traveling at slow speed, as in a parking lot, abs will be activated almost constantly. This is very annoying and can actually be a safety hazard when attempting to come to a normal stop. *tr

I have not had an accident as of yet with this problem. The problem is wheel lockup when applying the brakes. It throws the passengers forward violently. I've had the brakes checked and the rotors and linings are fine. But in use they are not. The fear of lockup makes you overcautious and late in braking. The problem is worst when first driving the car but continues on and is a serious hazard. It is related to…
