Two problems related to brake sensor have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet C/k Pickups. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Was looking to park in a super market and when I slowed to turn in and pressed the brake pedal it vibrated and actually attempted to speed up slightly. Took it to the dealer and they said it was because the stainless steel rotors had rust on them and the sensor wasn't working right. Polished them and it was good for a year or so. The next thing about a year later I got a recall for the same thing from the manufacturer. They had to do the same process. They did reimburse me from the first time it happened.
The brakes on my 2001 Chevrolet silverado went into anit-lock brake mode as I was making a stop on dry pavement coming just short of smashing into a garbage truck. I contacted Chevrolet and was told no recalls on my vehicle since it is not located in canada or some states listed in the us. They have said it is a recall on failing anti-lock sensors that have rust from salt, but minnesota is not one of the states. We don't use salt on roads up here during the winter? what a joke.
