Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

The abs system engages at low speeds causing a pulsation in the brake pedal. I had the wheel speed sensors replaced at dealership and it solved the problem. I did find a recall for this item but they said it doesn't affect my VIN #. A few months later I had a brake line break while coming home. Took it to chevy dealership and they said all the lines needed replaced, because they were severely rusted.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 hd. While driving less than 5 mph, the contact engaged the brake pedal and the anti-lock brake system activated independently. The failure would occur whenever the brakes were applied at less than 5 mph. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure was contributed to the speed sensor. There was a recall associated with the NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic: antilock). The contacts VIN was excluded from the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

Service brakes, hydraulic, anti-lock - front wheel speed sensor defect. There is an open recall and NHTSA # 05v379000, this however does not apply to my (and any other vehicles) although the problem is identical and the repair is identical. The above NHTSA# does not cover 2500hd and 3500 series trucks although they are still silverado models. This is the second time my vehicle has gone into service for this issue once in 11/2005 and now 11/2008.

Chevrolet has issued a recall for low speed anti-lock brake failure for 2001 model silverados. The recall includes all rust belt states. I have been having failure of the anti-lock braking system in speeds of 5 mph or below. They claim that my vehicle is not included in this recall, but they admit they are having problems with the same equipment that is on my truck. How can they issue a recall and not include all models that have this faulty equipment. Gm has agreed with me that my problem is the same as what the recall was issued for, but they refuse to pay for the repair, because "your VIN is not included in the recall group. " they state that I have not had regular service done on my vehicle at a dealership, and they will not cover it for that reason. My truck is in excellent shape, and well cared for, just not a dealership. There is nowhere in the owners manual that states that you must have your vehicle serviced at a dealership in order to receive the proper repairs which have been deemed not safe.

: the contact expressed concern that the vehicle had a problem with the wheel speed sensor and the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA recall #05v379000 regarding service brakes, hydraulic:antilock due to the VIN. The vehicle was not taken to a service dealer to verify the problem with the vehicle.

Both antilock speed sensors went faulty after 3. 5 years and were replaced by mfg. Now 7 years and 70k miles both are faulty again and gm says your problem. Even though a recall is in place my VIN # is not included??? $900. 00 I will need to pay.
