| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The county in which we live receives over 100+ inches of snow on average. the states that surround us, west virginia and pennsylvania, are considered by your definition to be in the "rust belt" our state and county road crews use a lot of salt and chemicals on the roads in the winter due to the high amount of snow that we receive each year. for this reason we feel that you should consider this area in the coverage zone for the safety recall of the front wheel speed sensor corrosion. the silverado would make noises, vibrate and would feel like it was not going to stop in the necessary and appropriate distance at low speeds. the brakes felt mushy and would vibrate when coming to a stop. at first it only happened infrequently, but then began to happen all the time. the silverado was taken to the local dealership to be serviced and the technician tested both the left and right front sensors. the technician then tried to remove and clean the above mentioned parts, which could not be done. the result was that a new hub assembly on both sides was installed . after this repair was completed, both the right and left sides were retested and found to be working ok. there have been no problem since this repair was completed. the old parts are available for inspection if needed. *nm |
