| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Abs control unit module activated while driving ,causing abs valve to run continuously & burn up. dealer stated that cause of failure was due to corrosion getting into module unit. dealer replaced module,valve & bled brake system. cost was $1090. service manager stated that this was a recurring problem that gm knew about but no recall was issued to fix the problem at that time. according to nhtsa web site , gm has issued a recall for wheel sensors on this vehicle due to the same cause as the module failure; corrosion. the modules are located just below driver on the inside of the frame rail. how they expected to keep them from a corrosive environment ,i can't figure. it seems to me that if gm acknowledge a corrosion problem on one part of their abs system that they should do the same on the entire system. i also can't understand how they choose certain states as being in the "salt belt". we use it here in kansas too. *jb |
