Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Under normal braking conditions the anti lock braking system will activate at low speed, around 7-10 miles per hour. Contacted local dealer and they told me it was typically the wheel speed sensor that causes this problem. There was a recall issued by gm but my truck did not fall in this recall due to the VIN number. Wheel speed sensors were replaced to fix this issue.

: the contact stated while applying brake pressure at 10 mph, the antilock brakes activated under normal conditions and there was an increased stopping distance. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the wheel speed sensors were corrosive and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was exposed to excessive roads salts during the winter months. There was a NHTSA recall, # 05v379000, regarding the antilock brakes. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. The manufacturer was alerted.

: the contact stated while driving 7 mph on normal road conditions, there was no braking action when trying to stop. No warning lights were illuminated to alert the driver. The vehicle was taken to the dealership who indicated the antilock brake system (abs) had a recall # 05v379000 regarding service brakes, hydraulic:antilock, for those vehicles due to a speed sensor failure. All vehicles operated in salt belt states may be affected. The manufacturer was contacted, and indicated the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN, and the company was not responsible for the repair cost. The speed sensor, which was the affected component of the abs, was manufactured in the same plant for all general motors vehicles. The contact expressed concern because a copy of the complaint taken back in August was never received.
