The abs system on my 2003 chevy C2500hd pick up truck were malfunctioning constantly for several weeks. Each and every time I came to a stop the abs system would engage, the pedal would almost bottom out and the truck was hard to stop. And several times I was almost in the middle of an intersection before stopping. The right and left abs sensors were replaced with new sensors at a cost of almost $500. 00. I was not given the old parts. This 03 truck has only 41,000 miles and I fill that the original sensors were defective. These sensors are not a normal maintenance part and are not like filter,oil changes ,brakes jobs wiper blades which are normal wear and tear items. These sensors are an very important part of the entire brake system . I believe Chevrolet has a problem with this part but will not acknowledge their responsibility in this matter. I have complained to Chevrolet motor division and told them that Chevrolet should pay for the premature failure of these parts. . These faulty sensors can cause an accident. .
Brake line rupture from the abs module to rear of the truck. The brake line is completely rusted through and I can see brake fluid dripping off the frame underneath the driver side door. I believe it rupture in my driveway returning from a trip with my camper attached to the bed.
