Four problems related to brake antilock control unit/module have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
1. Slowing truck on approach to a stop sign, road conditions-dry asphalt, road surface consisted of shallow narrowly spaced washboards, speed-approx. 20 mph. 2. When truck encountered washboard area, the brake pedal pulsed at an abnormally high frequency, the pedal went soft, the brake action was so slight that one couldn't tell they were applied and the truck nearly went through a stop sign as the result. 3. Dealer inspected abs system, stated a code for left front sensor was set, test drove truck but code would not reset, no parts or repairs were completed.
: the contact stated when stopping at a stop sign, the abs activated causing the vehicle to crash into another vehicle. Upon inspection the dealership found corrosion on the wheel sensors. The driver side wheel sensor was replaced and the corrosion was cleaned off the passenger side wheel sensor. There is a recall for the abs, the NHTSA # is 05v379000. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.
Abs brake system activates at slow speeds on dry pavement, not allowing truck to stop when brakes are applied. This usually happens under 5 mph and has caused me to roll through a stop sign.
Consumer complained about abs brake sensor problem. . When the sensors were inoperative brakes would not work. Consumer contacted the manufacturer, who was unwilling to assist the consumer.
