Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Brake line failure in a 2003 Chevrolet silverado with approximately 24,000 miles. Rear brake line corrosion led to leak and failure of rear brakes. Had the truck towed to the shop, where heavy corrosion was found on all three other brake lines. All had to be replaced with specially manufactured stainless steel lines because gm doesn't manufacture them. Previously had trouble with the abs system. Both speed sensors were faulty; had to be disassembled and replaced.

Wheel speed sensor causing abs to falsely activate at 8 mph. Same problem that gm has recalled for 1999-2002 model year of silverado.

My 2003 Chevrolet silverado has a braking issue where the brakes fail to work. The general motors corp had a recall on this issue identifying model years 1999-2002. I called the general motors corp for help with the issue. I was told by their representative, I needed to have the vehicle evaluated by a Chevrolet dealer, if the problem were found, they would repair it at no cost to me. I brought the vehicle to my local dealer, they found and documented the issue on a service report (I have a copy). When I called general motors back, I was told that they were not going to fix the problem, it was my problem to fix. I explained numerous times that this is not a wear item, they had a recall previously, their dealer documented my vehicle as having the problem. Still, to no avail, I was told it is my problem and they won't cover it because it wasn't identified under the recall. Therefore, why was I told to bring it to the dealer for no reason and a cost to me of $42, and more importantly why are they not concerned that my vehicle has an issue where the brakes fail to work. General motors service bulletin # 05068b, NHTSA campaign number: 05v379000. The evaluation was performed by keigan Chevrolet in franklin MA, service report invoice # 82978a. The vehicle was manufactured in 11/02 although it is called a 2003 model. I only seek to have the braking issue repaired. As noted by the service report, the front wheel hubs need to be replaced. I also have a second issue following the same chain of events, the intermediate steering column rattles. There was also a service bulletin for this issue, also found to be a problem at the dealer, also documented on the service report, told same thing, my problem. I would like them to replace the intermediate steering column at their cost.

The speed sensors failed on my 2003 Chevrolet silverado, nearly causing a crash because the abs system came on unexpectedly. The recall only extends to the 2002 model year, and gm will not fix my vehicle, even though this caused a dangerous situation for me and my family. Gm does not stand behind their products or care about the safety of their customers. Over 200 actual crashes have been reported. Do not buy a gm vehicle unless you enjoy car crashes and poor customer service. Now I am paying $500 on a leased truck to fix something that was defective.
