| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 gmc sierra 1500 low speed abs failure. currently under recall # 05v37900 and gm recall 05-068. after recall was performed the abs is still failing and this vehicle will not stop when under 5 mph. the true failure mode is not the abs sensor corroding, it is the wheel bearing having extreme wear and it renders the hall effect signal that the sensor reads bad. details: at 50k miles i had the same low speed abs failure. the truck was out of warranty at this time and i had to purchase genuine gm replacement parts and replace both front wheel bearing and sensors on my own dime. this fixed the first abs failure. then the recall came out for just the wheel sensor, not the bearing. now 12k miles later (truck has 66k miles) the driver side wheel bearing is now so sloppy that the abs sensor will not read the hall effect. this causes the low speed abs failure mode again. i have pulled the abs fuse under the hood so that the low speed failures stop, but now the truck has non functioning abs. lastly, after 12k miles on the replacement gm bearings there is so much slop in the bearing that the dealer has suggested that i should not drive this vehicle due to safety reasons. the driver side wheel is close to falling off the vehicle. i contacted gm customer service at 1-800 gmc truck by the recommendation of my dealer and gm customer service is has yet to contact the dealer for resolution in this matter. my only choice it to replace the wheel bearing at my own cost and i have already done that once 12k miles ago only to have the failure occur again. i will have to continue replacing the wheel bearings for the remainder of this vehicles service life to maintain a vehicle that can safely transport my family. i have no confidence is this vehicle remaining safe for any extended period of time. *jb what can nhsta do about this problem? |
