| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1998 chevy pickup truck with anti-lock brakes. for the last 2 years, the anti-lock brakes would activate whenever the vehicle is moving at speeds less than 10 mph; this makes it difficult when trying to stop at slow speeds. i recently found out that 1999 & 2000 chevy pickup trucks have a recall for the same abs problem that i am experiencing with my 1998 truck. i went to the dealer to discuss this recall with them and they said that it was caused by the speed sensor and that it was the same problem that the recall was addressing, but because my truck was a 1998, they could not do anything unless chevrolet gave them the ok. i went to chevrolet's customer service and they said they would not cover it under the recall. i talked to another owner of a 1998 chevy pickup and his truck had the same abs problem. his solution to the problem was removing the abs fuse. my concern is that chevrolet has a known problem with the 1998 abs system as well, but in the interest of saving money, they are not including it in their recall. i feel that since 1998 vehicles have the same anti-lock brake issues as the 1999 and 2000 vehicles, 1998 vehicles should be included in the recall as well. *nm |
