Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor Problems of Chevrolet Astro

I am complaining of the safety issues regarding the abs computer system. I have put my vehicle in the shop to be checked out by a few car repair facilities and all have said the same thing my abs cpu. My van is hesitating terribly and causing the van to not accelerate properly. I have nearly been in three accidents since the problem has been occurring. I have also done some research on this issue via internet and found that many people are having the same problem across the USA. And gm is blaming it on the weather conditions in the north but the problems are happening to Astro vans(2003) across the entire us. This is a problem that should be addressed as soon as possible. . The contact stated while applying brake pressure at 20mph or less, the abs activated with an increased stopping distance. The vehicle was seen by an independent repair shop. A diagnostic test was performed which indicated a failure in the right front wheel speed sensor. The mechanic determined the wheel speed sensor of the antilock brakes needed to be replaced. There is a NHTSA recall, # 05v379000, regarding the antilock brakes. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. This vehicle currently has this issue, and was checked by a repair shop. They described the problem undetectable; the recall was on models up to 2002. It seems that it carried over to this model, can the dealer assist in replacing the parts. I would pay the labor but the parts involved are about $1500. 00 from the dealer alone. Can I get help from the NHTSA to get this critical issue resolved.

No crash or injuries, just a dangerous situation and a bad financial situation. Meals on wheels operates four all-wheel drive Chevrolet Astro vans - years 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. In each vehicle, at least one (and sometimes both) abs speed wheel sensors have gone bad, causing a very unsafe driving situation - at speeds of 5-7 mph. This is the same safety hazard that Chevrolet recently issued a recall for its full-size 4-wheel drive pickup trucks. Why can't the owners of Astro vans receive the same courtesy as owners of the trucks? we've spent more than $2,000 to fix these problems - truck owners are getting their money back - we want our money as well. There must be other owners who have had accidents, or have spent as much as $800 per wheel to get the problem fixed.

While braking at low speed the abs would cause extended stopping distance. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Front wheel speed sensor replaced. Left front window hangs when going up. Window tracke lubed. Pads and rotors replaced. Rer brake adjusted. Brake pedal kicked up when almost to a stop. Replaced brake calipers/rotors/ backing plates and removed sensors and cleaned rust build up on sensor and hub assemblies. Both idler amrs and front and rear shocks were replaced due to front end play.

The contacts stated that the abs activated at low speeds when applying brake pressure. Took the vehicle to a dealer, who discovered a failure within the wheel speed sensors, and those were replaced. About 25000 miles later the problem returned. The dealer performed a diagnostic test, but the dealer could not detect a code. The contact continued to experience an intermittent activation at low speeds. No further repairs have been made.
