STOPPING DISTANCE AT SLOW SPEED IS NOT ALWAY AS CRISP AS IT SHOULD BE. THE ABS SOMETIMES COME ON, WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. MY LOCAL MECHANIC HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS. WHY ARE THE CANADIANS TREATED AS FIRST CLASS CONSUMERS AND THE AMER- ICAN AS SECOND RATE?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I'VE NOTICED A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK BUT I ONLY RECEIVED TWO (2) RECALL NOTICES IN THE MAIL. ONE WAS FOR THE FRONT BRAKE LINE AND THE OTHER WAS FOR THE STRAPS FOR THE TAILGATE. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE OTHER NOTICES TO ARRIVE. IF THEY DON'T AND SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN CAUSINGI NJURY OR DEATH TO MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS THE MANUFACTER IS GOING TO HAVE A REALLY BIG LAW SUIT ON THEIR HANDS. IT IS NOT MY JOB TO FIND OUT ABOUT RECALLS IT IS YOURS AND THE MANUFACTERS JOB TO NOTIFY ME AND OTHERS OF THESE PROBLEMS

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BACK IN THE FALL OF 2003 I HAD AN INSODENT WITH THE ABS BRAKES ON MY 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO GOING CRAZY. WHEN I WOULD GO TO STOP EVERYTHING WAS OK TILL THE TRUCK HIT 5 MILES AND HOUR THEN THEY WOULD ACTIVATE AND AT TIMES WOULD NOT STOP. THEY WOULD ALSO LOCK UP AND THE TRUCK WOULD KEEP MOVING WITH MY FOOT ON OR OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO EASE OFF THE PETALL AND HIT THE PEDAL HARD AND AT TIMES THIS WOULD KNOT WORK ON THE FIRST TRY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL GOODYEAR SERVICE STATION AND HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT. THEY DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYTEM BUT THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS BECUSE THEY WERE RUSTED VERY BAD . I DID THAT AND A IT DID NOT FIX THE PROPLEM. SO I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DELAERSHIP AND ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD LOOK AND SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYTEM THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED OFF THEY SAID NO THERE WAS NOT. WHILE ON VACTION VISTING MY PARENTS IN ANOTHER STATE I WENT TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND AFTER HOOKING IT UP TO THE COMPUTER THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE SPEED SENSOR OR THE ABS MODULE. SO I HAD THEM REPLACE THE SPEED SENSOR AND THEY ALSO DID SOME OTHERE REPAIRS ON THE TRUCK AS WELL BUT AT THIS TIME I CAN NOT TELL YOU WHAT THEY DONE BECUSE I DO NOT HAVE ACCSESS TO THE BILL. AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FRONT PADS IN ABOUT 3 TO 4 MONTHS. EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE THEN IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN AND IT HAD BEEN 3 TO 4 MONTHS SINCE I HAD THE SPEED SENSOR CHANGED SO I TOOK THE TRUCK TO PEP BOYS . AT PEP BOYS I HAD THEM CHECK THE FRONT TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND THEY DID SO. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW I WOULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND REPLACE THE ABS MODUEL BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE INVESTED OVER $900 IN THIS PROBLEM. I HERD THE ABS MODULE COST OVER $650 NOT TO MENTION THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF$89 AND LABOR. AND I HERD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND I CAN NOT FIND OUT ANY INFORMATION ON IT.
