| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We purchased our 2001 chevy silverado 3500 diesel dually truck in february of 2006. in may of 2006 we started having trouble with our brakes. when we were coming to a complete stop our brakes would give a little (like the abs were kicking in). we took our truck to a chevy dealer and they informed us it was our right front wheel speed sensor and the hub assembly. the cost would be $535 to replace the right front hub assembly and the brake stop switch. in investigating online we realized this was a very common problem and that there had been a recall on the speed sensor. in talking with the investigator with the nhtsa they informed me that the recall is only for the speed sensor and not for the hub assembly which contains the speed sensor. we currently have it in the shop and will be getting the old parts when we pick up the truck. thank goodness that we were able to get it into the shop before we were injured in an accident like so many others or we injured someone else. i am very upset that gm is not taking more responsibility. i don't know much about trucks but i would assume something that contains an item that has been recalled would cause the whole thing to be damaged if left long enough. we did not know of the recall until after the truck was in the shop. i hope that gm realizes their mistakes and that i will recieve some compensation from them. we use our truck to do disaster response full time through a church organization and rely on the truck all of the time. we can not afford to be worrying if our brakes would hold up. i have always been a fan of chevys but now i am unsure of our safety. *nm |
