| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Nhtsa campaign id number : 05v379000 according to this recall, the abs sensor can give false readings due to dirt and grim build up. gm's response for corrective action is to clean the sensor. what happens once the sensor is dirty again?i don't see how this could be a corrective action, because the chance of it happening again is great. my father owned this truck before me and had the same problem i am now having the abs engaging at low speeds, (i almost crashed twice, because of this). my father had the dealer repair the truck and at that time the service manager told my dad the only way to fix it was replace the hubs. the truck was under warranty so the service manager put down that the hubs were bad so my dad would not have to incur the cost. (sensor is warranty item, hubs are not). (country club chevrolet oneonta, ny) once again my father was told the sensor can not be replaced with out changing the hubs. i have also been told this by two other dealers. (norris chevrolet westfield , nj- sullivan chevrolet rosepark, nj). the hubs were replaced at 60,000 miles, at 72,000 the problem once again returned. so this has been a problem for about 7 months, i know when driving the truck to give myself extra stopping distance, it does not always do it mostly after sharp turns (pulling in drive way or parking lot). so if the hubs have to be replaced as per three dealers, so why does the recall corrective action take about removing sensor and cleaning (see following) dealers are to remove the wheel speed sensor and thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface on the bearing, apply rust inhibitor to the cleaned surface, grease the mounting surface, reinstall the wheel speed sensor, and check the peak-to-peak output voltage to ensure the wheel speed signal is within specifications. i think gm needs to resolve the issue not just apply a temporary fix. regards philip j savarese. *nm |
