The county in which we live receives over 100+ inches of snow on average. The states that surround us, west virginia and pennsylvania, are considered by your definition to be in the "rust belt" our state and county road crews use a lot of salt and chemicals on the roads in the winter due to the high amount of snow that we receive each year. For this reason we feel that you should consider this area in the coverage zone for the safety recall of the front wheel speed sensor corrosion. The Silverado would make noises, vibrate and would feel like it was not going to stop in the necessary and appropriate distance at low speeds. The brakes felt mushy and would vibrate when coming to a stop. At first it only happened infrequently, but then began to happen all the time. The Silverado was taken to the local dealership to be serviced and the technician tested both the left and right front sensors. The technician then tried to remove and clean the above mentioned parts, which could not be done. The result was that a new hub assembly on both sides was installed . After this repair was completed, both the right and left sides were retested and found to be working ok. There have been no problem since this repair was completed. The old parts are available for inspection if needed.

Upon stopping at very slow speed, the abs brakes felt like they activated, causing loss of braking power, causing collision with parked vehicle.

2002 chevy 1500 Silverado anti lock brake failure. At slow speed stoping brake pedal goes to the floor,anti lock brakes activate,truck won't stop,grinding type noises coming from brakes,at 25,000 miles all 4 rotors were badly rusted and worn. Replace all rotors and shoes,still had problem. Had all speed sensors on meter,shows no problem. Have read articles and complaints about this problem with this model and year and that chevy had recall in canada but not u. S. I have came close to rear ending cars in front of me. This vehicle is a hazzard and should be recalled.

When applying the brakes, the pedal kicks up and the vehicle is difficult to stop. The stopping distance has at least doubled. I found that the anti-lock brake speed sensor quit working with 37000 miles on the truck. I unplugged the sensor and the brakes are working fine (without anti lock brakes).
The abs comes on at low speed when it shouldn't, resulting in extending stopping distance. Dealer miss diagnosed the problem as the left front hub. Replacing both front hubs and wheel speed sensors which fixed the problem.
I am experiencing undesired application of the anti-lock brake system on my 2002 Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck due to faulty wheel hub speed sensors. It started out as a once in a while thing a couple months ago and is now an almost routine occurance on almost every braking. When the abs applies, the stopping distance is almost doubled. This occurs at speeds below 10mph, which is when you are usually closing the range on whatever you're trying to stop for. Aside from having it checked over by a local Chevrolet dealer, nothing has been done to correct the failure. The cost estimate has ranged from $300. 00 up to over $1,000. 00. I was told the problem was corrosion related due to being kept outside and driven on dirt roads, etc. The truck was purchased from my uncle who drove it on paved roads, kept it in a heated garage, and it has seen only occasional exposure to road salt. It is only in the last year that is has been parked outdoors on a regular basis. I have not done the repairs as I am going to persue it with gm to pay for them since this is a very common problem and is no way related to anything I've done, as well as being out of my budget if the cost becomes excessive.

Dt: 2002 chevy Silverado. When the consumer applied the brakes, the abs activated. The abs activated on dry roads as well.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who said it was a wheel speed sensor issue. The vehicle has not been repaired.
Upon braking to a stop when 5 mph is reached the abs system falsely activates and prevents the truck from coming to a complete stop. This problem has resulted in one low speed collision (<5 mph) and numerous times I have hit parking barriers. I am told the solution to the problem is to have the front wheel speed sensors removed from the hub/bearing assembly and cleaned. Also, gm has a TSB out on this problem and transportation canada has issued a safety recall for this problem.
Abs initates on dry pavement as I decelerate from about 6 mph to about 3mph. This happens approximately 50% of every stop. I have not had any incidents, as I am the only driver, and allow extra distance. After talking with 4 CO-workers who have/had the same problem, I pulled the abs fuse and have not completed a repair yet. My extended warranty provider claims it is a service claim, which is not covered under warranty. Dealership says it's a common problem with this model, not covered under the extended warranty. Says it's rust build up under the speed sensor, and needs to be cleaned & reseated. I read about this investigation on my company website, and decided to register my problem to help the research.
1/2) low speed manuevering in parking lot or pulling up to a stop sign or red light situatiuons on various road conditions; first became an issue after snow/freezing weather conditions with no earlier warning signs, but continued to occur occasionally even on dry pavement; brake failure / inadvertant abs activation upon extemely low speed causing vehicle to coast further and overall increased stopping distance when this failure would occur 3) dealer replaced left front hub and wheel speed sensor assembly as they had found the sensor was providing erratic readings (in warranty service--no charge).
