Brake Sensor problems of the 2001 Chevrolet 1500

Abs brakes do not stop vehicle at stop signs or intersections, have to put vehicle in park to stop! multiple times, unplugged abs sensor to drive with conventional brakes.

There was a recall on August 29 2005 for this problem. Recall number 36327 I have this problem with my truck right now how should I handle this situation? it is the hydraulic: abs sensor (the problem started slowly and now its bad) I just found out about the recall.

I had an accident at low speed because of unwanted (abs) brakes activation. I continue to have problems as I stop at low speed my truck moves forward again after the stop causing a possible accident. I bought my truck in florida. For this reason my VIN number is not on a recall list due to the fact I purchased in a non corrosive state. I had to come to ohio quite often to care for my ill mother starting in 2009. I also have experienced problems with the sensors recalled, the tailgate recalled(actually fell off the truck 3 times while I was enroute), the fuel tank pressure sensor recall( not letting me know whether I had gas or not), the seats recall. All of this due to faulty parts corroding, after I came to ohio, which is included in the recall. I need my VIN number added to the recall so I can have these things replaced by a dealer. I cannot drive my truck now because it isn't safe. I have to transport my little grand children and its the only transportation I have.

This truck has been a nightmare concerning all aspects of braking system. First at 44,000 abs sensors needed to be replaced, then at 53,400 all 4 new rotors and pads all the way around, 82,000 miles parking brake needs replaced, 81,000 front axle seal leaking, then at approximately 88,000 miles brake lines pops with trailer attached. Truck is towed to garage only to find that brake lines are rusty and popped. All lines were supposed to be replaced total cost over $1,000. At 96,600 need front rotors and rear brakes, at 126,00 need rear rotors and front brakes and 1 original brake line from rear to front and right front that never was replaced. Cost 268. 00. Used different garages for work and both have had trouble replacing hydraulic lines and one is a state inspection station. Braking system has cost me a fortune and I will not buy another chevy due to high repair cost. Truck was not neglected and serviced regularly. Had to replace transmission at 114,000 miles which left me stranded once again.

Anti-lock brakes engaging at slow speeds in clear and dry weather. Would not stop in time while trying to park in a hospital parking lot . Vehicle went past intended stop in lot and just missed a pedestrian. Truck was stopped by curb. Truck was taken to local shop not under warranty. Cause of braking problem was corrosion on wheel sensors. Rear sensors where cleaned. Front left caliper and pads were damaged requiring replacement of both front calipers( replacement in set only required)will check to see if old part is still available. Rear sensors have not been replaced.

Abs brake faulty sensor on 2001 silverado engages on dry surfaces at low speeds. The safety issue concerns increased stopping distance, and it occurs without warning. Further, the dealer only offers to clean them or replace the defect at the owners expense.

I had problems with the abs brakes engaging at slow speed and when coming to a stop on my 2001 chevy silverado. In November 2004 the brakes failed to stop the vehicle (abs was engaged on dry pavement) when pulling out of a driveway onto a busy highway, resulting in a near collision with another vehicle. Repairs were done at a local gm dealer and they had to replace sensors in the wheels because of corrosion, I believe as a result of defective engineering. My truck had less than 40,000 miles on it, and was driven in a normal fashion when the problem first appeared.
