SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
I AM RESPONDING TO THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION OF THE BRAKING PROBLEM INVOLVING THE ABS SENSOR. I HAVE A 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALER ON 05/30/05 FOR THE ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN BRAKING. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED REMOVING ANY RUST FROM ABS SENSOR SURFACE FOR A COST OF ABOUT $240. I GET A PULSTATION KICKING BACK ON BREAK PEDAL AND ARE UNABLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE IN UNFIT TO DRIVE AS IS AS I'VE COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING PEOPLE AND THE REAR ENDS OF VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME AS I TRY TO STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS A DEADLY SITUATION AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE. IF ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ME.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
MY 2000 SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCK HAD THE BAD BRAKE SENSOR IN THE FRONT WHEEL. AS I WOULD ROLL TO A STOP THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET TO STOP. I NEVER GOT IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAD SEVERAL SCARY MOMENTS BEFORE THE TRUCK STOPPED. I GOT THE SENSOR REPLACED AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM GM SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE REPAIR, IT IS A BAD SAFETY ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
2000 CHEVY SILVERADO Z-71, 4WD, V-8 EXTENDED CAB 31,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED ON JUNE 24, 2004. IN SEPTEMBER, 2004 I NOTICED THAT THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE AS I SLOWED (< 10 MPH) TO A STOP. THIS ISSUE BEGAN INTERMITTANTLY BUT WORSENED AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. BY JAN, 2005, THE ABS WOULD ACTIVATE EVERY TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES AT SLOW SPEEDS (< 10 MPH). NO TROUBLE LIGHTS CAME ON. I DID NOT HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS WITH THIS ISSUE BUT HAD ONE VERY CLOSE CALL IN A PARKING LOT. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED M TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. IN LATE JANUARY, I HAD A GM DEALER INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE LEFT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY. GIVEN THE HIGH PRICE THE DEALER WAS GOING TO CHARGE FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART AND THE LABOR, I ELECTED TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE (AUTOZONE). I REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY PER THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE MANUAL DIRECTIONS. AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THE HUB I REMOVED WAS HEAVILY CORRODED WITH SIGNS THAT THE SEAL ON THE INBOARD SIDE OF THE HUB WAS CORRODED WITH A PORTION OF THE EXCLUDER LIPS MISSING. I STILL HAVE THE HUB ASSEMBLY THAT WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE AND WOULD BE GLAD TO PROVIDE IT FOR TEARDOWN INSPECTION. IN ADDITION, I AM A DEGREED MECHANICAL ENGINEER THAT WORKS FOR A LEADING AXLE AND DRIVESHAFT MANUFACTURER AND WOULD BE GLAD TO DISCUSS THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FURTHER. I BELIEVE THAT SEAL FAILED AND THIS ALLOWED DEBRIS / CORROSION TO ENTER THE HUB ASSEMBLY WHICH THEN SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSED A SIGNAL INTERUPTION BETWEEN THE TONE WHEE AND SPEED SENSOR. THUS, THE ABS SYSTEM BELIEVED THAT THE LEFT FRONT HUB WAS NOT ROTATING AND CAUSED THE ABS SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE. MY ISSUE IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE MAY 27, 2005 ISSUE OF THE DETROIT FREE PESS TITLED "GM TRUCK OWNERS INSIST BRAKES ARE A PROBLEM".
