Brake Sensor Problems of Chevrolet 1500

I've had to replace calipers, rotors, brake lines the have rusted, brakes hoses that have gone bad and this vehicle is well kept and inside. Low miles for a 2002 and yet all at once everything went bad including my fuel sensor for the gas guage.

At about 10 mph when braking brake peddle gets hard abs tries to engage. But you have no brakes. I have heard its due to a corroded abs sensors. Why there is no recall when this is a safety issue is beyond me. This is a design flaw as several mechanics have said on line.

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.

The brakes failed in my driveway due to rusted steel brake lines. It cost me $914. To fix. This is probably a defect in design because the manufacturer failed to use a plastic cover over the brake lines. Also, the abs sensors in the front wheels also failed, leading to periodic engagement of the abs system at slow speeds, such as approaching intersections or at stop lights. My mechanics told me these were common failures for this vehicle.

2002 chevy silverado 4x4x ext cab truck was recalled in 2005 for anti lock brake activation at low speeds the dealer cleaned put on anti corrosive material on sensor (after truck was in a accident I got the notice in the mail 3 days later) now 7/11/2013 its happening again, they will not fix it again only once, cost for new hub and sensor I about $700 per side $1,400 total to fix problem, this is a safety issue gm, chevy should fix not put a band aid on the fix. Also the chevy dealer said to me its a lifetime warranty on parts and labor wow that's great at my expense. Why didn't they put the lifetime warranty when its new, now I have to pay twice some deal.

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.

This happened a number of times, the first time they replaced brake lines. I complained to mechanic a number of times about brakes shuddering and going down very low before catching, they drove it and of course it did not do it. More recently they are shuddering and feeling like the aniti-lock brake is going on when just slowing on dry pavement. On Thursday Feb 20, the brakes went almost to the floor before they finally stopped. I have called gm and they said while many of the trucks in this category were recalled for brake issues, this VIN number was not. How is that?? I have yet another appt to go back to the mechanic and see about replacing sensors, which they said are ongoing issues on these trucks driven in the northeast. I did read the recall and it described exactly what this truck is doing, but the gm rep I spoke with said this truck was not included. The recall I read said all these trucks in the snow belt which included vermont were recalled. I am frustrated and confused how they can know they have a problem and skip around which models they will service.

Truck was recalled for operation of abs brake sensor and the problem is back while I still own the truck. Contacted gm and they reported it is unlikely they will do anything because it is out of warranty. Truck moves and engages abs at low speeds at once while stopped. This is the identical reason it was recalled and I remember what it was doing.

My chevy truck is a 2003 with 52000 miles on it, one owner,the abs sensors in the front wheels have failed 3 times now, what's scary is unlike other vehicles, the brakes fail when this happens, other vehicles the abs just shut off, still have brakes, also I am about to put on my 3rd set of back brakes in 52000 miles, still on the first set of front brakes, shortly after putting disc brakes like this on the rear they went back to drums, I also noticed that all the brake lines look pretty bad with corrosion, and the fuel lines, they mounted them right up against the frame so there is no where for water and and road crud to drain, being an engineer myself, I can't believe what they have done, the truck looks vary nice until you look under it, it all looks like 200000mi 20 yr old junker. The attempts they made to protect the back discs are a joke, the inferior material used for something as important as brake lines and fuel lines is criminal, and then mounting them to something they knew was going to rot prematurely like the frame is unconscionable. . . . . . . And no recalls on none of these issues is a sure sign nobody cares. One more note my friend had a 2002, and he had his brake lines recalled, 2003 are identical, no recall ?? one more thing, in the first 1000mi my brake booster unit had to be replaced. . I will keep this siverado until it turns to dust , which probably won't be long , I will not buy another. I have always been a gm fan, and have three other gm vehicles, my trust in them and the system to protect consumers has failed miserably. Greg.

Abs brake system has been recalled for 2002 silverodo trucks in several states west va. Being one of them I live within 10 min of west, va. We are a state that gets a lot of road salt. My brake sensor system has gone out . The champaign number is 05vb379000. Virginia needs to be added to this recall list I have just had one side repaired at a cost of $333. 00 now the other side is bad. This recall started in August but will not be issued untill Nov. 2005 there could be several accidents and maybe injuries or fatalities before Nov. Please help to have virginia included in this recall at least the mountians of south west virginia thank you for yor assistance.

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.

Antilock brake sensor activated the brakes at less than 5mph just as listed in the recall which includes 1999 and beyond. It was a serious issue so I had it in for service on several occasions. They finally found the issue was the corrosion on the ab sensor and cleaned them. This resolved the issue. It has now started again as of December 2011 with 84,000 miles. It is exactly the same issue as before and as listed in the recall for 1999 and newer versions.

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.

There have been consistent problems with this vehicle since we bought it on June 18, 1999. The frame and suspension looked as if it was driven in a salt bath - totally rusted. Saw this right after buying it but the dealer would not do anything. We have never received any recall notices. The worse thing that happened was when the brakes went out on my wife while driving on the expresseway about an hour away from home. The front shocks were bad with 553 miles. The egr valve went out the first week we had the truck. The brake lines, brake sensors and rotors have been replaced 7 times. As of today this truck has 52,000 miles and it is 15 years old. We will never buy another gm vehicle. Does someone have to get killed or injured before anything is done?.
