Four problems related to brake antilock control unit/module have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Unwanted abs activation. Increased unexpected stopping distances. Near collision with garage and near hitting of pedestrian. Upcoming recall applicable only to "salt belt" states. Does not include WI. Nor mn. [salt not used on streets in these states?] see campaign #05v379000.
While trying to come to a stop upon entering a parking spot in front of a county health bldg. The brake pedal on my truck did not respond. The pedal went hard and the truck continued forward, I applied the brake again with the same results causing the truck to strike the building and destroy a service enterance door. I estimate my speed to have been under 5 mph since the airbag did not deploy. I believe this is the result of a deffective anti-lock brake sensor. As of today I have not been to the dealer to have the failure fixed.
Faulty abs module; abs pump kept running after engine ignition turned off. Part 88982296.
When the consumer drove over 5 mph the wheel sensor kicked in and the vehicle will not stop. The consumer had the brakes serviced. The consumer stated that the sensor in the wheel bearing was reporting bad information. All brakes where replaced and the problem still existed.
