| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The breaks on my 2001 gmc 1500 sierra began kicking back during stops on dry clean pavement near the end of the stop. this caused me on numerous occasions to nearly hit cars in front of me at stop signs and in parking lots. i also use this vehicle for work around my property and have nearly run into trees and equipment near my vehicle. i took the vehicle to a local dealer, hawkins chevrolet oldsmobile, inc. and was told the abs speed sensor was corroded and not working properly. they replaced the abs sensors on the two front wheels on 8/17/05 under invoice ctcs85615. i was especially concerned with this problem as my other vehicle, a 2002 chevrolet suburban began to have this same problem at the same time. i had two vehicles which were unsafe to drive at the same time. i filed a complaint with nhtsa about the suburban (odi number 10132681) on 8/12/05 and also contacted gm customer service. i was denied any help with my problem and was given a file number 1-355599627 and therefore did not contact customer service about my sierra truck. i conducted some internet research and found that these model type vehicles in the years 1999 to 2002 were recalled in canada for this same problem. i also spoke to my sister's family about their 1999 gmc sierra and were told that they too have replaced these sensors, but did not file a complaint with nhtsa or gm. *nm |
