1 Speed Sensor problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2016

As I come to a stop, the brake pedal pulsates from abs activation increasing braking time and distance. The ground is dry while this happens. After a while the and light comes on. Was told by a dealer mechanic it was a bad abs sensor and to replace hub. I did and now, two years later, it is happening again. Now I'm being told it is a problem with elements in my area, being in a snowbelt state, getting into wheel speed sensor and blocking signal. Same exact symptoms as last time, different diagnosis. Neither time did they plug into my truck for codes. Both times, I have to open my wallet for faulty products.

2 Speed Sensor problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2013

The wheel speed sensor for the abs system is affected on multiple trucks chevy produced from 99-06. This causes the braking below 10 mph to cause pulsation and abs malfunctioning causing me to almost rear end vehicles and be unable to slow down correctly. Chevy knows of the issue yet it is not a recall for my vehicle.
