Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have experienced numerous abs brake failures while driving at a low rate of speed. my car is unable to stop under this condition. i brought my car in for service yesterday. the front wheel sensor was diagnosed as a failed part. it was replaced at my cost. i brought to the attention to the dealer directly and to general motors on their phone hotline, the gm recall # 05068 and the nhts campaign#05v379000. i was told my vin # has not been included in the recall, therefore i would have to pay for the repair which i did. obviously my car should fall within the recall, per the data that is available paired with the problem/defect and repair that was performed on my car. does one need to crash or be killed to be included in a recall?! i am requesting immediate reimbursement of the repair bill for this item from general motors or from the dealership. i am very unhappy how i was treated at the dealership, where i have been servicing my car for many years. i am equally unhappy with gm's failure to take accountability for this problem. *nm
