Adrian it did that because it was a Chevy, they all do that.
I have a 2001 Silverado now, I won't even tell you about the brakes...ABS constantly a problem. Had the problem "fixed" 3 times (twice as a recall, 3rd time Chev refused to pay for it). Basically a poorly designed ABS sensor in the front wheel hubs that malfunction, creating longer stopping distances even on dry pavement. There are numerous complaints/accidents on the 'net about this...I had several close calls in parking lots, at traffic lights, pulling into my driveway but worst of all I almost couldn't stop in a gas station one time and nearly pinned a woman to the back of her car.
