1 Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche

Failure Date: 04/25/2005

I was driving and my anti lock brakes locked causing me to almost hit a car one time and a CO worker another. There was a clinking noise following, I found out that it was my driver side wheel bearing and speed sensor and lately a lot of GMC/chevy vehicles have been rumored to have the similar problem. $300 later it's fixed, why isn't this a safety recall?.

2 Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche

Failure Date: 04/02/2005

While driving my 2004 chev, Avalanche down a dirt road I experienced a loud noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. As I slowed down the sound got louder and gave a snap sound. I was alble to keep the vehicle on the road, but later learned I was experiencing a cracked alinium rim. We have called the dealer ship as the truck has 17,500 miles on the rim. They need to inspect the old rim to make sure we did not damage it in any way. Why would I ? it is so hard to change a tire on the avalance, not to mention I could have been killed. If the tire passes inspection then we might have a new rim.
