SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR/TONE RING
ANTILOCK BRAKES ON 2002 GMC SIERRA TRUCK ACTIVATE FOR NO REASON AT SPEEDS OF 5MPH OR LESS MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SENSORS FOR THIS REASON. I HAD MY SENSORS "TAKEN CARE OF" AND AFTERWARDS STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE HUBS ARE BAD AND THIS IS WHY THE ANTI LOCKS ARE COMING ON. THE SENSORS CAN NOT READ THE HUB "CORRECTLY". THE HUBS, WHICH ARE NOT A WEAR ITEM, CAN BE REPLACED FOR $1000. THIS IS ON A 2002 PICK UP TRUCK WITH 46,000 MILES ON IT AND IS GARAGE KEPT. THE HUBS ARE A NON WEAR ITEM. POOR ENGINEERING IS THE CULPRIT OF THIS PROBLEM. THE HUBS SHOULD BE REPLACED JUST LIKE THE SENSORS WERE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT ON MY GMC TRUCK I CANNOT HAVE THE ANTILOCK BRAKES DEACTIVATED. AS A RESULT, I HAVE TO SPEND THE $1000 TO MAKE MY TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE. PROBABLY 40,000 MILES IN THE FUTURE I CAN REPLACE THE HUBS AGAIN FOR $1000. $1000 TO REPLACE A NON WEAR ITEM. ANTILOCK BRAKES ARE ON A VEHICLE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFER. THE ANTILOCKS ON MY GMC MAKE THE VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE BECAUSE OF BEING UNSAFE. IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO DEPEND ON YOUR BRAKES TO MAKE YOU STOP. WITH MY VEHICLE I CAN'T STOP. THIS IS NOT A WEAR ITEM THAT IS CAUSING MY PROBLEM. THIS IS POOR ENGINEERING! THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL, SAME AS THE SENSORS WERE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. GMC WILL COVER THE SENSORS BUT NOT WHAT THE SENSORS ARE LOOKING AT. *TR

CLOTH SEATS ACCUMULATE POLLEN AND DUST CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH BREATHING CONDITIONS - THIS PROBLEM IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM VIA A TSB NUMBERED SUBJECT: EXCESSIVE LINT ACCUMULATION ON CLOTH SEATS (REPLACE SEAT COVERS) #07-08-50-018 - (08/28/2007) AND THEN AGAIN WITH DOCUMENT ID# 2023269.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
SPEED SENSORS IN THE FRONT WHEEL OF MY 2002 GMC 2WD TRUCK HAVE FAILED EVERY DECEMBER FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS THE FIRST TIME I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED THE SECOND TIME IT WAS FIXED ON A RECALL THE THIRD AND FORTH TIME IT WAS FIXED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GMC AND TALKED TO A STEVIE SNAY ON TWO OCCASIONS. FIRST SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD DO SOME CHECKING AND GET BACK TO ME. WHEN SHE CALLED ME BACK SHE TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF MY EXPENSES. THEN SHE SUGGESTED THAT I PURCHASE A NEW WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN PATIENT WITH THEM ON THIS MATTER AND FEEL THAT SINCE THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT ON AN MVSS PART THAT THEY SHOULD COVER MY COSTS. *TR
