Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front hub/bearing assembly and wheel speed sensor not working when vehicle is traveling between 3 and 10 mph and brakes are applied. the abs is activating causing one wheel to continue and speed higher than other preventing safe turning and stopping of vehicle. the truck had this problem upon purchase, and dealer attempted to fix. approximately 3 months later vehicle began doing same thing. this was a recall, and was taken to dealer to be repaired. dealer only cleaned the area. chevrolet was called by me and dealer and refused to replace hub, so vehicle is still doing same thing. representative from chevrolet on phone was rude, and replied that all that was covered under recall was cleaning hub. however the recall notice clearly states "in some cases, the front wheel speed sensor may need to be replaced." it also states "this service will be performed at no charge to you." i received recall notice in mail, and took immediately to dealer only to have problem keep occurring and chevrolet refuse to fix it. this problem poses a danger and could cause a crash because of failure to stop. *jb
