Abs Brake Fail problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

As I was leaving my driveway, when I braked, my truck would not stop, made a loud sound, but after pumping the brake, it finally stopped. I had new brakes, plus rotors and calibers put on truck before all of this happened, I figured they did something wrong, but took it back to goodyear and they assured me the brakes were ok, and that it is the abs. I almost broadsided another vehicle. I noticed that there is a recall on these in certain states, but my state is not listed in the recall. I can't understand this because if my abs fails, they should include all the states in the recall, as mine evidently needs replaced. I would like to know why this is, please, because I think that it is an expensive fix and I think gm should replace it. I am afraid to drive my truck now and need to resolve this complaint as I do need to get back to driving it. Tks.

Abs failure. I turned in my 01 1500 silverado (94k miles)back in 07 for the initial brake recall. The dealership cleaned the sensor and I haven't had a problem till March 2010. The abs is none stop now,it was not a gradual growing problem my brakes just stopped working. If im going about 10-20mph and do not slam on the brakes the abs sets off and the truck just slides till I pump the brakes and get vehicle to stop. I have used a few cans of brake cleaner on the front brakes and it seems to work for a week or two but there needs to be a permanent solution.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 10 mph or below, the abs sensor failed and prevented the vehicle from stopping. The contact has had one side of the vehicle repaired; however, the failure recurred. He took the vehicle back to the dealer and they took apart the component and placed it back in the location that the sensors were replaced. The first time the failure occurred, the vehicle was repaired under warranty. He was informed that the recall did not apply to his vehicle because he does not live in a high corrosion area. As of January 9, 2008, the vehicle is still at the dealer to be repaired. The failure mileage was 35,000 and current mileage was 75,000.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. In 2005, the antilock braking system would engage while driving 20 mph. This also increased the stopping distance of the vehicle, which eventually led to a minor crash. A police report was filed. The contact took the vehicle to a repair shop. Body work was performed, but no repairs were made to the braking system. After the crash, the contact began to notice that the abs would randomly engage while driving at low speeds. Approximately one month later, he received a recall notice relating to the abs. He took the vehicle to a dealer and they stated that it could not be repaired because it was a product liability. They further stated that a gm representative needed to inspect the vehicle prior to it being repaired. The contact took the vehicle to a different gm dealer and they repaired the vehicle. Approximately six or seven months later, the abs failure recurred. He took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that an entirely new braking system was needed. The dealer replaced the rotors and shocks; however, the failure has begun to recur a year and a half later. The abs is currently engaging again and almost causes rear end crashes. The contact believes that a secondary recall needs to be issued to properly repair this defect. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The failure mileage was 50,000 and current mileage was 71,000.
