| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The brakes on my year 2000 gmc safari passenger van failed while i was coming to a stop and an intersection. i was traveling at approximately 10 mph. i narrowly avoided a collision by turning onto a grassy median. the brake pedal pulsated several times and the pedal then dropped. i could not stop the vehicle using the brake pedal. the van is well maintained and has 36,000 miles logged. the repair shop diagnosed the problem as a failed wheel speed sensor. the hub and bearing assembly and the speed sensor were replaced. it has now come to my attention that a recall is in effect for this part - front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor - on 2002 model year chervrolet tahoe vehicles (letter dated october 2005 from chevrolet). i strongly recommend investigating these questionable parts on all gems vehicles. it is my belief that the current tahoe recall should be expanded to all vehicles with these parts. *jb |
