One problem related to brake antilock wheel speed sensor has been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2000 chevy silverado abs is being activated at low speeds when slowing down to a stop and it is also being activated when coming to a slow turn into a parking spot. This is very dangerous as I have had several close calls of almost crashing into buildings or other vehicles as this problem is causing brake failure! I experienced pressure and slight jerking then complete failure as the brake hit the floor causing complete loss of control! I have had 2 separate mechanics diagnose this problem and both do not find anything mechanically wrong with it and no dash sensors indicated or error codes found. One mechanic checked the wheel speed sensors and no error. I have paid to have my brakes and wheel bearings replaced and this did not fix the issue and it was expensive. I am frustrated and began searching recall notices & found that other people have this same issue and chevy issued a recall notice #05068 iowa, minnesota, michigan, missouri, new hampshire, ohio, etc. The "salt belt", the problem on top of brake failure is that I reside in south dakota! and I am not included in this recall of my surrounding states. Now I have just gotten off the phone with chevy at their 800 number, and was told no recall listed for my VIN# & most likely I will pay for repairs of their defective vehicle.
