| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This complaint is to support investigation pe05020 1 - events leading to failure: my truck has been driven in ny state since it was purchased in late 2001. it has been properly maintained and serviced. 2 - failure and its consequences: after 40,000 miles, every time i came to a stop the anti-lock brakes would kick in (under 10 mph in completely dry conditions). this made the vehicle extremely difficult if not impossible to stop. i almost became involved in an accident on 3 or 4 separate occasions until i pulled the fuse for the abs system. pulling the fuse disables the system so i'm now driving without anti-lock brakes. certainly better than the alternative. 3 - corrective measures and availability of parts i brought the vehicle in for service to patrick gmc in rochester, ny. paid $85.73 to have it diagnosed. they indicated both front speed sensors were bad and both hub assemblies would need to be replaced at a cost of $432 per side plus tax. the sensor itself is not available - it must be purchased with an entire hub assembly. i did not have the work done and continue to drive the vehicle with the abs fuse pulled. the vehicle is unsafe to drive in any other condition (except if the hubs were replaced). the defective parts are still on my truck. *nm |
